Mother is a moon and I am the sun in your world
From that duo your world has been brightened
To provide for you son I go through all difficulties
But a father`s love has not been justified in any poem or song

It is my blood that runs through your body beloved son
I didn`t carry you in a womb but carrying you in my life
Dad`s affection rises high like a mountain in my heart
Wonder why my blood never turned in to milk

Through your mothers_day.jsp' class=black>mother I gave you life

Siribiris is an iconic cartoon character well known to two generations of Lankan newspaper readers. He is a creation of Camillus Perera, a veteran Lankan political cartoonist who has been in this uncommon profession for nearly 45 years.

Camillus started drawing cartoons in newspapers in 1966 with the Observer newspaper and the film magazine of the same publishing group, Lake House (then privately owned and under state control since 1973). He draws pocket cartoons, political cartoons as well as satirical comic strips. His most enduring accomplishment has been the creation of a set of regular characters who have developed a loyal following over the years. Among them are the wily Siribiris, prankster Gajaman, fashionable young lady Dekkoth Pathmawathie, smart alec kid Tikka and sporty Sellan Sena.

Photos taken during my recent trip to Colombo.

Beautification is continuing and let this good work be an ongoing thing.

Hope to see a development in the infrastructure too.

Visuals from the natural `Pola` at Nawala. There are different themes on different days of the week. Natural food produces promote their products on Thursdays.

Worth a visit. Perhaps Ankal Sili has already been there :))

Dear Monsanto

This is a message that`s time has come

Your time has come, this games time is done

There`s a part of me that wants to rip and tear you down

But an eye for an eye can`t make the world go around

So I bring you this rappin, with love and compassion

For your reckless ways and your thoughtless action

Even though you patent seeds and poison our food

War on nature, ignore the people you screw



Here`s a message to the people that work for you

Nepal`s first Forbes billionaire, Binod Chaudhary has submitted a proposal worth of US $ 75 million to the Sri Lankan government to set up a state of-the-art cement plant in the Jaffna Peninsula, a statement issued by Chaudhary`s office said.

In Sri Lanka, Chaudhary has an estimated US $ 200 million investment, including projects underway and proposed.

Even before Forbes placed Binod Chaudhary in its 2013 Annual Global Rich List, his love affair with Sri Lanka had begun with a foray into Colombo in the year 2000, when he acquired a substantial stake in Taj Lanka Hotels, Sri Lanka.

A well researched speech by Sajith.

The situation is quite serious, only those who have experienced the disease will know about it. It is a long drawn battle for the patient as well as the family.

Action should be taken to stop the spread of this disease immediately regardless of our political stance. The government should be transparent on this and the Opposition must provide the fullest support.

Managed to get few shots of the Thurstan College Big Match parade while on a drive through Thurstan Road, in preparation of their `Big Match` against Isipathana.

It has gone on record that of the Colombo big matches, Thurstan-Isipathana was the best behaved, a fact observed in this parade as well.

Well done boys and a thumbs up for the school management.

Happy New Year

Airport Express Air & Rail Company Private Limited (AEARCPL) has taken the initiative to introduce a noval concept, most modern and innovative, the first of its kind in the history of Rail Services in SriLanka an EXPRESS SPEED TRAIN to travel nonstop from Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake to Fort in the Colombo Central Metropolis.

This is a good lead for countries like Sri Lanka.

Bhutan plans to become the first country in the world to turn its agriculture completely organic, banning the sales of pesticides and herbicides and relying on its own animals and farm waste for fertilisers.

But rather than accept that this will mean farmers of the small Himalayan kingdom of around 1.2m people (according to Pema Gyamtsho, Bhutan`s minister of agriculture and forests the World Bank estimates it at around 740,000) will be able to grow less food, the government expects them to be able to grow more and to export increasing amounts of high quality niche foods to neighbouring India, China and other countries.

Wishing Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to LNP members.
