Here’s wishing everyone a happy 2010. This one’s from last night or early this morning. Raja got a bit hi and decided to launch rockets commando style. His technique, firmly grasp rocket, light it, when it gets hot let go and hopefully it won’t explode in your face. Despite a couple of near misses I’m relieved to say no one got hurt.


Happy 2010 everyone!!!!!!!!!

Horse, Nuwara Eliya


This photograph was taken outside the Nuwara Eliya race course as I passed through on my way to Horton Planes. I took this back in January when I went on a road trip with my friends. The plan was to go from Colombo to Kandy, and from there to Segiriya and Horton Planes, and back to Colombo via Diyathalawa in five days.


I’ve posted some of the photographs from Horton Planes and Segiriya on some of my earlier posts. May be I’ll write a full account of the trip time permitting.

More than three weeks of rain and I’m sure everyone’s sick of it now. I took this last Monday evening when Mother Nature decided to give us a chance to dry our clothes before it started pouring again. Here’s hoping for some more days like this because I’m tired of wearing semi wet clothes.

I haven’t been updating the blog lately and it’s probably been about a month or more since I last made a new post. My sincere apologies if there are any regular visitors to the blog. I’ve been a bit busy, recovering from the flue, travelling and trying to find work. So onto the pic.


This is the dam for the Udaha (Upper) Kothmale power project. I was on the Udarata Manike train going to Bandarawela when I took this. There’s a rumor that once the dam is completed St.Clairs water fall will cease to exist. I wasn’t able to get a proper picture of St.Clairs from the train, so I’m hoping to go back that way and get one before it disappears. Hopefully!!

Checked the blog stats this morning and I seem to be getting allot of hits for Alliance Francaise. So I thought I’d upload this picture of the gallery and auditorium at Alliance Francaise Colombo. This was taken for the Leisure Times magazine for a feature on art galleries in Colombo. Think this should be fitting for this weeks post with all the talk about the Colombo Art Biennale.
