Finally! the Shanties used to keep dumping garbage and engage in open burning just behind our house wall. Good that a clean up was done and this poster put up. Hope it’s enforced though since the last time a board was put up, they just threw it into the canal. 🤞

Never felt happier to be wearing the @Superman tshirt. Loved every bit of the movie; definitely loved the IMAX 3D experience. Deserves a rewatch! Thank you for bringing back hope and color, @JamesGunn. With lots of love from Sri Lanka! #imax #superman #SupermanMovie


If anyone’s going to Scope at HCM tonight for the movies, be sure to go early. Theres a huge crowd as be queue to the parking lot due to a Car Show there. Missed our 7pm show unfortunately :(
About 3 weeks after the cleanup in Kalubowila, the board area is clear, but look where the shanties moved their junk… further up hidden by vehicles. This mentality is why the country won’t improve despite any form of taxation. Dengue? Rat fever? Chikungunya?



It’s funny how many people think that the Council assessment taxes we currently pay are the same as property taxes that are coming up in 2026/27. Goes to show taxation literacy in the country.
📦 TEMU WARS: The Cat’s Out… and Cornered. 🐈⬛🔥 Sri Lanka’s local producers are finally howling. Because for the first time, they’re realizing—maybe under this gov—what global consumers call free trade… can actually hit back. 😼 And it’s been happening for years. Here’s…
Now this Temu issue makes sense. It's just local industry asking for more protection.

Yay! More taxes. Why not focus on improving tax collection (especially corporate taxes) before screwing over consumers who will eventually have to bear the burden of VAT for digital services?

This is true. One needn’t possess a golden vocabulary, however being able to articulate clearly in a globally accepted language is fundamental, especially when representing the country. Alternatively, ask for a translator and speak in the most fluent language possible.

I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!
These random power outages are a bloody menace! Monkeys dancing on the grid again or a means of forcing ppl towards those super expensive Hybrid inverters?
Even I, as a home baker clearly mark dates of purchase, expiry, etc of my ingredients. They’re never repurposed once used, utensils properly washed and stored. These outlets being registered vendors ought to be doing much better w.r.t food & health compliance. Good move.

The last thing a loss-making and debt-ridden taxi service needs is to purchase another used vehicle… on lease. Same goes for airlines.
