With much intensified hopes and expectations, a 109 strong Sri Lankan delegation flew to Guangzhou to take part in the 16th Asian Games on the 11th of November. The same number returned to the island with shattered hopes and neither a single medal nor record breaking performances, in their respective events.  The Sri Lankan delegation which took part in the Asian Games with 44 other Asian countries is wedged into this ‘sorry’ situation, perhaps acting as an eye-opener for the Sport Authorities in the island nation.  'Hope', 'Shattered Hopes', The Biggest 'Dilemma in Sri Lanka Cricket' and many more...

Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people... While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out.

Then came the price hikes on oil prices, bread, gas, essential items, etc, those branded as ‘colloquial affairs’ for a typical Sri Lankan. Experts panels were appointed, Death fasts were laid down (and laid off), protests and ‘work to rule’ programs had been flooding the Sri Lankans’ mindsets, not allowing them to have a proper sleep, sometimes.

Despite all these hardships, I managed to take my grandma to the temple on June 25 (Friday), marking the Poson day. The temple was a popular one among the pilgrims all around the island. On the way to the temple we had to buy the necessary stuff such as ‘handunkooru’ and ‘pahanthira’.

With the greatest difficulty, I crept through the crowd and managed to stand at the 5 th place in the queue....
