The truth about women

This time I was going towards Colombo and had just passed Dehiwala. Time was around 6.20a.m. The try-shore which passed us from the left had the longest slogan I’ve ever seen on one. And try-shores do have some ill stuff which would make you laugh out loud.

So here’s what it said, and I shit you not..all this was written on the back of it and you might think it’s not possible to write something this long and another to read it while passing on the road but that is what happened.

අස්ථිර වූ ස්ත්‍රී චින්තනය තුල ස්ථීර වූ ප්‍රේමයක් ඇති කල හැකි නම්, පුත්තලමේද ගෝවා වගා කල හැක.

By far, this is the most meaningful and funniest slogan I’ve ever come across and hats off to you buddy for trying to pass this message to the ones who’re IN, OFF,GOING BEHIND and SUFFERING from a relationship.

And guys! We still wouldn’t give up right?

ps: the translation as i suspect it to be…

If true love could be established inside a woman’s mind whose philosophy on love/relationship is dubious/doubtful, one could grow Cabbage in Putlam too.

XXI Commonwealth Games 2018

As many of you know, Hambanthota lost the bid against Australia’s Gold Coast for hosting the next Commonwealth Games in 2018 by 27 – 43 votes.

I don’t want to sound like a traitor but facts and common sense tells me that this happened for the best of us. We have already spent double the value of what Australia spent on their campaign and that’s around Rs.2.0 Billion.

Politicians in Sri Lanka have a specialty called මාටියා ගැසීම. This is where funds which are being availed for the development of infrastructure or any other humanitarian projects goes into the pockets of corrupted politicians or turn out in the face of luxurious automobiles. I believe that there’s no need to mention the IIFA Awards(International Indian Film Academy) and also the Cricket World Cup events which played a huge role in the development of the country. Oh Yes, that’s me being sarcastic !

I’m truly happy to see that the International community didn’t fall for this crap like us locals do for booze and a lunch packet. Namal Rajapakse’s, Ajith Nivard Cabral’s and Anarkali’s අනඟ රැඟුම් were in vain. Sadly the funds spent to entertain theses idiots could not be recovered back.

Again I want to say that I’m not a traitor to this wonderful country that I live in but a victim who has suffered from bad leadership throughout its glory years. But what’s pathetic about this situation is, people see all the corruption & ඒකාධිපතිවාදය in this regime and still vote for the same bastards.

Wishing Australia good luck in hosting the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Goal Coast !

One of a kind

It was around 7.30 p.m. today and I was offered a lift by my friend Pri & we were cruising along Galle road when I saw this..By cruising I mean only around 30kmph. And that’s why I normally travel by train.

What I saw had to go on cam and therefore my friend had to do some zig zagging to keep up with this other vehicle. It was on top of the Dehiwala fly over that I finally managed to click a photo with Pri’s sophisticated brand new touch phone. I just hate touch phones!

A Toyota Allion right?

Then why is there a ‘L‘?

Oh..yes..It’s a Lexus Allion..

Has to be a limited edition I suppose..or just the only one of its kind..

Smart guy, isn’t he? Either his mechanic mixed up the wrong emblem with the wrong car or this guy thought of confusing us with his neat trick, so that we might crash into something while looking at his darn derrière..

Anyhow, look where you’re car ended up..my blog..and the angry Lexus owners who’re reading this will for sure ram their cars into yours..

So don’t attract the wrong kind of attention sir, whoever is the owner of the car displayed above.

 

Will the next train be late?

I have a friend who runs with me to the Railway Station after work. Now people might wonder as to why we run..We run to catch the earliest possible train from out of Colombo.

So today, since my friend’s boss asked him to stay a bit longer, not only did we miss one but four slow trains towards Down South. While waiting for the next train which was due in 10 minutes, they announced that it will be running a bit late. Now I was supposed to go to my boarding place, freshen up a bit and drive to Galle, to a funeral of a relative of a work colleague. (Did I use too many to‘s & of‘s ??)

Mind you, I’m having a bad cold with a sore throat & my voice has been of a 60 year old grumpy old man’s. Having had to survive  9 1/2 hrs at work, my plan was to then go to Galle and return to my bed at early dawn, again to go back to work next morning with a possible tumor in my brain.

Anyhoo, thanks to the Railway drivers who were අකුරට වැඩ today, I’m nicely sitting on my bed, typing this while sipping on කොත්තමල්ලි which the kind house owner made me drink after a long lecture about not going to see a doctor. All I could do was nod which must have looked rather stupid coz I couldn’t talk with my voice gone to the dogs.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

What I really wanted to tell you is that this is quite a normal scenario for someone who’s traveling by train. Trains are delayed all the time. For the most unbelievable reasons. Sometimes they test our patience by stopping the Express Train at every station and sending the Slow Train 05 minutes behind the Express which also stops everywhere..කාට කියන්නද ?

The reason for today’s delay I was told was the interdiction of the driver who rammed his train into the observation rail car of the Kandy – Colombo Intercity Express. Whether he’s guilty or not, I don’t know, but it certainly ain’t my problem either.

People in this damned island need to make use of time. Buy yourself a watch honorable minister. Wear that watch, go to the Fort railway station and liaise with the timekeeper. Better yet, you do that job coz the one who’s in charge isn’t of no use to the people who are tired of working & waiting to get home sooner.

Then again I wish that I had the luxury to drive and maintain something like this which was seen at the Carlton 7′s Rugby Tournament, last Saturday.

Central Kings clinches Carlton 7′s Title

The Kandy team sponsored by Malik Samarawickrama & led by the one & only Fazil Marija beat the Western Warriors 38-05 yesterday at the Royal Complex with 06 tries  and 04 goals. Needless to say the Kings dominated the match from the early minutes and it was 26-00 at Lemons. The Warriors led by Dushanth Lewke only managed to score one try by their forward.

While the Southern Sharks who won the 01st leg of the tournament finished as Runners Up, Uva Vipers despite their defeat to North Western Blacks took hold of the 03rd place.

too bad the 1st picture covers up not only one, but two of the Lovely ladies from Sri Lankan Airlines…

Where to now….?

My Dearest One,

I thought it’d never come to this. The broken promises are just too painful to reminiscence. I’m still wondering as to how so much of Love, faith, hope & commitment didn’t matter as if this never existed. Was I wrong to see a future for us or did you just take me for a ride?

It’s so unlike me to blog this over here but in a way it calms me down. “Life’s gotta move on”, says my closest friends, and isn’t that easy to say when you’re not on the receiving end.

You tried to come back to me after the break up, and yet you were still balancing another. I’m confused. I’m angry. I’ve been betrayed.

There are enough good memories of us that I still fondly remember, which tells me that I was so much into you. In the end however, none of that mattered to you.

“Enough now. There’s nothing good in her for you to cry about..”, I tell myself. “Then why am I blogging this?”, I ask myself.

Life is all about experience. I shall take all the good from what I’ve experienced and try to move forward.

Since I loved you dearly, I’ll end this with a final note of blessing.

May you be blessed by the Triple Gem.

Yours,

Bvr

Not to Hollywood but to Singapore

Yes, it’s official.

M.P. Duminda Silva was not taken to Hollywood or as later suggested to Australia but to Singapore. He is now under treatments at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital which is quite famous for Neuro Surgeries.

While you are wallowing over the fact that Australia lies way more closer to Singapore and whether or not a return air ticket was booked to Sri Lanka, take your time to check out the room rates at Mount Elizabeth Hospital as well. It won’t take long for you to see how well our tax money is managed for the country’s well being.

It’s one thing to care for a person who has been shot in the head. It is also acceptable when Bodhi Poojas have been conducted by some monks at Gangarama temple (‘A modern day Religious Joint’  as suggested by a wise reader) and a few others, but can we watch this mockery with a straight face is my question.

Being a Buddhist, I was taught to forgive people, be humble and as a Sri Lankan, hospitality comes naturally..But when the culprit is even worse than ‘Angulimala‘…….

something for you & me to think about..

Dreams of Hollywood

I hope you guys followed the whole Duminda – Bharatha incident during the election time..

News is that, M.P. Duminda Silva who is currently under treatment at J’pura Hospital is to be taken to the US for further treatments during the coming weeks.

Now, we all saw that coming right? The main suspect of a shoot out who killed a Presidential Advisor and three more body guards, who was later claimed by government officials to be innocent will now be fleeing the country under the governments protection so that once he returns back in another year or two, we Sri Lankans will have forgotten what a rotten apple he was back in the day..

The screwed up part is that we all knew that this was going to happen and still nothing could be done about it. That is how corrupted our system is. If only there was a strong opposition…

A Thug, a child Rapist, a Drug lord, a Killer…These are just a few of the qualities which would qualify one to the Parliament and it’s uniquely identified as being truly Sri Lankan.

This plea is to all the බත් කන හරක් in this sacred country which was blessed with Lord Buddha’s presence not just once but thrice..Wake up you dumb fools..

Do not let this system corrupt the minds of our children as well..One day, this is where they will grow up to carry the weight of a proud nation & I would love to retire peacefully without not having to worry about petite politics.

The end of an era (1929-2011)

Thought of coming out of total blackness since I last posted here, to pay my last respects to the legend who not only made my day back in the day but to this date with his magic on TV.

As any ordinary kid even I was glued to the television set not to watch the crap they play for kids nowadays but to have a good laugh watching ‘Haa Haa Hari Hawa’ or ‘Dosthara Honda Hitha’. And when it came to Adventure & Drama, nothing could beat ‘Robin Hood’.

I mean how many times have we watched most of these plays with the same astonished, dumb founded looks laughing & rolling in our seats? no wonder TV was so addictive back in the day. ‘Pissu Poosa’, Gulliver’s Travels’, Óshin & and oh boy…’Kung-Fu’(I almost missed this and how could I…) were some of his masterpieces.

Even though some of these plays were foreign made, what he thought to be best for little kids like me and even many generations before us were embraced with so much love and passion by all ages, and even today.

Words possibly couldn’t express the loss that we as Sri Lankans would face with him gone forever. Click here for his Wikipedia entry and to read more about the works of Titus Thotawatte.

The end of an era… May you Rest In Peace !!

LTTE’s pathetic media campaign

You guyz need to check out this website and their mass media campaign..

These Tamil terrorists will stop at nothing..now that there is no chance for them to raise awareness in Sri Lanka by mass murdering innocent people, they’ve started an online capmaign to ban Sri Lankan products in the International market..

People who might visit the site with no idea as to what has been going on in Sri Lanka for the past couple of decades will definitely fall for this TRAP..

Their advertisements are being broadcasted through cable, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITTER and god knowz what else..

Wake up Lankans…STOP THIS NONSENSE !!
