Is this a trick of firelight and smoke or did a mediaeval knight appear on the beach in Arugam Bay last weekend? I like to think its the latter… where better for a spirit to hang out than on a beach in Sri Lanka…The fuzzy silhouette is Clody, but a…
After the basilica we walked around the Montmartre area and I got a few pictures:There were some apartment buildings and then I came across this guy sticking out of a wall. I liked it because it appeared to be completely random!Last picture is the Moul…
After the Notre Dame Cathedral we headed over to Sacre Coeur which has a beautiful lookout over Paris. The area close to the basilica was pretty shady. When we came out of the subway a bunch of people were trying to sell us cigarettes and other random …

In many ways, the Establishment is like an animal — if you leave it alone, it will not attack unless it wants something. If you corner it, it will most likely bite. This is doubly bad if you have cornered a stronger animal.
The Sri Lankan Internet community is an infant compared to its American counterpart. […]
The second night, we decided to go up the Eiffel tower. Here’s the story:You can pay 11 euro to take an elevator to the top or you can pay 3 something, walk up to the second floor, then if you want, pay the balance to get to the top. I wanted to walk u…
This little obsession was all Anya’s fault. I swear. It has nothing to do with me! Okay, fine. Maybe it does have something to do with me. But just a little. I drew these about two years back, so forgive the somewhat…stunted style.Vash, from Trigun. …

When drawing a face, any face, it is as if curtain after curtain, mask after mask, falls away…. until a final mask remains, one that can be no longer be removed, reduced. By the time the drawing is finished, i know a great deal about that face, becau…
Sri Lankan political voices on the Internet are now running on borrowed time.
I believe that the present administration will start ordering ISPs to block “undesirable” web addresses within the next year, now that India has set a precedent for the same. Free blogging services will most likely be targets. Based on the present administration’s behavior […]
Disappeared from the face of the earth? Nooooo…I’m still here. Getting rid of me ain’t that easy! Everybody is struggling to survive, to make it to the top and I am still caught up in the rat race, struggling to get away from it, but it seems a l…

I like ants and frogs. Frogs live in the house and eat insects, including mosquitoes, therefore they are useful. Ants eat pretty much anything that dies, therefore they are useful. They both make nice photos….
On the morning of Sunday June 25th we took the dogs out for a walk in the Lancashire countryside.I believe Savi was asking about sheep? There they are in the last pic! :)Philip had warned us that the dogs would be upset if he left and he wasn’t kidding…
Delicate white flowers, with yellow pollen….Mangoes and bright sunlight…Green Leaves….. Rebuilding the delapidated and eroded infrastructure of communities…. Posters posters posters everywhere….. Its just that time of year…..
Human faces have always fascinated me, like most artists. To catch a likeness, to show the exterior in such a way that the inner person can be seen, is a challenging, inviting prospect. Moreover, a portrait can reveal not only the appearence and person…
Tis a pig! I think…Mother Nature, perhaps? God knows…I will not take any credit for this pic…it’s actually Himansu’s. He hasn’t put it on his blog, though, so i thought i would…and yes, i know it looks nothing like me! Oh well.Joblessness aboun…
Wut a cliche huh????? It’s such a hackneyed phrase (especially because Mr Keating had a song with this phrase in his lyrics as well as the title) that ppl are like….”Hey! Enough with that already!!!” But I’m a sorta person who realizes that these sim…

Do you know that a man has only one eye which sees and registers everything; this eye, like a superb camera which takes minute pictures, very sharp, tiny-and with that picture man tells himself: ‘this time I know the reality of things,’ and he is calm …

I don’t really like Republicans; Two years of Bush presidency has seen the United States falter on most things ‘American’. From the war in Iraq to spying on its citizens President Bush has done a pretty lousy job. But this isn’t about Bush, Che…

As I have mentioned earlier, I’m a young individual trying to look at things with a 360 mind. As a regular watcher of Sri Lanka’s Television networks, I feel like expressing a bit loud on certain issues on T.V. advertisements. Taken as a whole enti…
