The kidnapping of Sooriyan FM News Manager Nadarajah Guruparan on Tuesday morning has infringed once again on the freedom of the media in Sri Lanka. It should be unequivocally condemned by all those who love freedom. The role of the media as the ‘fourth estate’ may fast diminish in the climate of terror being generated by an interested few. As the atrocities of the LTTE intensify across the

From the time we are born our parents have this desire for us to study hard, get good grades and get into the best university possible (in the case of most Sri-Lankans to study medicine, law or accounting). So we bust our guts in school trying to outdo one another, getting private tuition, anything to […]

Sri Lanka is finally starting to take it’s fledgling steps in moving to the internet. Yesterday I booked tickets over the web through www.etickets.lk (wow 2006 and finally).
The whole experience was quite good, but it will be a long time before these become mainstream (I’m only talking about Colombo). One impeding factor is that unlike in most other countries, the business model is not ad based instead an additional payment of 25/– is charged for each ticket. Given that these reservertions are only available for balcony tickets this is not a major problem.
In addition to this the membership fee costs 250/– but as a promotional offer is free till August 23 (tomorrow). If I were you I would simply create a login for myself just in case. My advise to the company, drop this membership business.
eTickets.lk uses a simple AJAXy interface to show the box plan and allows you to select the seats you want to book and add them to your shopping cart.
The current listing shows only Liberty and Majestic cinemas, but they plan to add more stuff like concerts, theater and seminars.
Oh and BTW the site is developed using ASP.NET, goody, goody!

If you thought graduate unemployment is a big problem here in Sri Lanka think again.
