The irony of the JVP, famously known for constantly threatening 'national harmony', now seizing books . . . if a book can topple a government, it deserves to be toppled! Let the man be read.

SL Customs has seized new books and second editions by Tamil writer Theepachelvan last night, claiming they threaten “national harmony.” He is the author of the powerful Tamil novel 'Nadugal' which represents Tamil experiences of genocide and was later translated into Sinhala.

This is a classic negative externality. As a downwind neighbour of India, Sri Lanka incurs the healthcare costs and loss of labor productivity caused by pollution generated outside its jurisdiction. 🇱🇰 😷 – at Sri Lanka

“India should worry about tariffs later and start worrying about pollution first. It has far greater impact on India than any tariff.” Gita Gopinath, Professor of Economics, Harvard University Thank you Modi Ji for this global glory 🙏

15 years ago, we did the 1st ever TweetupSL at Coco Veranda, Ward Place. Yesterday accidentally I went to the same place, now it's called Kolamba Kade. But the memories will cherish forever. @moshanthi @milindat @nazly @Amisampath @sarathsc Shazly #TweetupSL

The beauty of Wilpattu is it's villus and breathtaking landscapes. But did you notice the plastic? Even pristine jungles are not safe from our litter bug habits. #srilanka #travel #wilpattu #canonwildlife #nature #safari #wild #natgeoyourshot #natgeowild #bbcwildlifemagazine – at Sri Lanka

This was my first encounter with the Unicorn. He was synonymous with Minneriya. With his killing we have lost an icon. Elephants been killed outside protected areas is one thing, but inside a national park is inexcusable. #srilanka #minneriya #gathering #elephant – at Sri Lanka

It always boggles my mind when Europeans talk about data privacy when the SCHENGEN tourist visa requires everything from bank account details, business registrations and payslips to birth and death certificates.

In Sri Lanka, a gang of monkeys somehow power tripped the whole island (that's what the Ministry said). As I sat in the (relative) dark, it reminded me of what I know but forget on a daily basis. That this is all going away. 1/10

Whilst today’s debt standstill is a positive in terms of beginning the recovery process through debt restructuring and freeing up forex for critical imports, it’s a sad day since this was entirely avoidable if we acted early. This from an internal note on 4th December 2019.

I fell in love with a boy once. Unrequited. I was so shy. His family owned a cafe and I would go most Saturdays to eat blueberry corncakes and yearn. Friends would accompany me and encourage me to talk to him. I never did. But every Saturday I make this breakfast for my kids.

On the train from Colombo to Kandy. Just past Ihala Kotte, from around 8.20 LK time, my GPS location keeps switching between Ihala Kotte, Sri Lanka and Warsaw, Poland. Did we just hit some sort of travel portal? 🫣
