Tuesday August 23, 2016 To all you beautiful people, It’s been a while hasn’t it. My last post from week twenty-nine tells me that it was somewhere in September when I stopped this practice. I don’t know why it happened, it’s not as though I haven’t been thankful since. I have been, more than I could’ve hoped for. But I’ve also been confused as at … Continue reading Week Thirty: Giving Thanks
To the dearest people in my life, These are different from the previous open letters that I have written. This one is a tad bit more personal even to the extent of TMI.

In today’s post, we speak of two things: racial or ethnic preferences and vulnerability. The latter is a bit of a hot topic in the development world so apologise in advance … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part III
So yesterday was a bit of an unproductive day for me and Mum. We went to Angoda, IDH and Wellampitiya areas and while the water levels seem to be chilling while they are at it, so at the moment, there isn’t a lot that anyone can do. In a modified statement inspired by Dickens, It wasn’t the best of day, it wasn’t the worst of … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part II
