FYS Victor Perera!
2008-05-29 06:01:00 Idiotic, foolish, pathetic, useless! What else would you have to say about the newest traffic (jam) plan in town? Even the cops didn’t know the proper routes. On some roads, only about 25 meters are made one way. To by-pass those 25 meters, you’ll have to drive additional one kilo meter! I asked one cop by the road “how to get to Jinaratana Mawatha?” and he pointed his hand and said “there”. WTF More About: Victor
Shadow Conspiracy
2008-04-21 14:00:00 May be I’m bit late to comment on the latest development in Sri Lankan politics scene; “Battle of the Wansas”. But, I anyway thought of punching in few of my thoughts about the incidents. It was exactly an year ago that Mangala Samaraweera “UN EXPECTEDLY” kicked out of the SLFP, without any warning. It took Sri Lankan politics by stun. “What? SLFP without Mangy?” was the exclamation in many More About: Shadow , Conspiracy

2008-02-07 08:25:00 We heard this news yesterday, and as usual Free Media Mudalali's (FMM) jump up in the air, repeating the same Mantra.

A Local NGO Supplying Bulletproof Waistcoats to the Terrorists
2008-01-31 17:01:00 Are you still wondering why certain NGO pundits think that this government is the worst ever government we ever had?

2008-01-28 05:14:00 Stumbling through some of the Sri Lankan blogs featured on Kottu, landed me on this post by David Blacker about the Galle Literary Festival.

And that “funny thing” is nothing in relation with the GLF, and this post is no way going to be another “critical review” of the festival. In More About: Government , Congratulations

2008-01-23 03:54:00 This is a major headline in some of the daily newspapers out today.
