If any song symbolises my relationship to 2006, it would be ‘Loser’ by Beck. What a year… details are unnecessary and sordid but I’ll just say that I’m glad its over. Being an eternal optimist I have great hopes for 2007… and “Three little birds” b…

I had lunch at the Star Dust, Arugam bay on the 14th of December It was quite amazing. The chicken salad is dressed in yogurt, which is really well complemented by soft, succulent stalks of asparagus, and sautéed mushrooms. It is attractively plated, as you can see, with a topping of julienned Tomatoes. I only had one dish here on this visit, but I look forward to more.

Just read “Mirage” by Bandula Chandraratna. About a hospital labourer in Saudi Arabia. Great writing. He uses very short sentences but manages to bring in so much imagery it doesn’t feel stark at all. The closing was like the tail end of a Sri Lankan …

Saw “Kurulu Pihatu” (”Bird Feather’s”) at the Regal y’day. Pretty Bad. Even Jackson Anthony was contrived and played a very “Kopi Kade” (Shallow Sri Lankan teledrama) drunkard. The script didn’t give him much of a chance, anyways. The main character, a…

In the health crazed world of low carb diets, gym memberships, and exercise mania amoung young and old its interesting that shops & cafés selling chocolates and desserts are flourishing. It is almost as if people cherish the rebellious nature of these places and flock to them to enjoy their indulgences. I am not talking […]
