'Life is just a moment in a universe where everything that grows will inevitably die.' dD

We’re born to die.

As dD travels more, dD accepts the beauty of life – the fact we all die.  

Live the life you have well, no one lives forever. There are no television replays; no third umpires, its just this one and that’s it.

“When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.” Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali.

Right back at you Rabindranath.

Languages and religions usually bring ruin to a country.

The concept of the three languages uniting under one Mother ஸ்ரீ ලංකා is one I firmly advocate and believe in.

The irony is that it is the same three languages that have resulted in a divided ‘Mother ஸ்ரீ ලංකා’ Sri Lanka. The English speak English, The Italians Italian, and the French speak French etc etc,…

Thai's? They speak Thai.

In Greece, the Greeks speak Greek.

Any country that has more than one language - Shambles.

Languages and religions usually bring ruin to a country.

The west are fast finding this fact out due to their democracies having open migration to these countries. 

They have realised it too, this is why their laws have got tougher to migrate to those countries. I.e. USA and UK.

A one language policy, unites a country. 

Happy New Year Everyone!

Dear Family & Friends

Best wishes for a fabulous New Year!

dD has arrived in Pelawatte after an eventful pilgrimage. Not withstanding the bus ride and realisation of how Sri Lankans do not know about personal space or deodorant. Or for that matter, striking up a conversation with a total stranger in public transport and asking about his most personal details! It was truly wonderful that dD found this entire experience well, wonderful!

dD was also able to witness many ‘news’. The most wonderful being the gold jewellery offered to God Kataragama by King Dutugemunu!

dD was at the Kiri Vehera just fifteen minutes before the milk frothed from the Dagaba top. Yes, seriously.

dD saw elephants in ball gowns and dervish dancers.

Monkeys and real people just sitting together and just ‘being’.

“When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.” Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali.

Yes dD hears you Rabindranath.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Siri Lanka is truly a paradise isle. Lets keep it that way please.

PS: Unilever and other manufacturers of deodorant in Siri Lanka, you unfortunately are not doing a very good job of marketing your said deodorants. As a former advertising person, dD gathered interesting ‘market insights’. Said insights can be shared with those who ask nicely. Absolut Vodka as an accompaniment will be considered nice, very nice.
