Mozarts

one of the photos, by Dominic

So, Mo still has cancer. As another fundraiser we’ll be selling photo prints at Barefoot Gallery this weekend. They’re quite affordable (starting at Rs 3,000 per) if you’d like some stuff for your house. My own apartment is all bare walls, so I think I’ll get a few for myself. The photographers who donated photos include Dominic Sansoni, Jagath Dheerasekera, Sebastian Posingis, Yanik Tissera, Alefiya Akbarally and more. Basically the best photographers in Sri Lanka right now. Yadda yadda, it’s some pretty good photos for a good cause – hence satisfying your material and karmic desires in one place. Some samples:

Mihintale by Yanik

Chillies and Garlic by Pradeep

Monk by Beat Presser

Ahem, so it’s running all weekend at Barefoot Gallery, Colombo

Really nice. Of course I only know Dominic but I have seen Others photos. I really like the young Yanik. Good luck to the effort and best wishes to your friend Mo.

Did Little Children Create God?:
  • Shammi: It's funny the way most of the stories and rituals in the bible have so much in common with legends of more ancient pagan civilizations. Bits of the tales of Gilgamesh, Dionysus et al are mirrored in the descriptioons of Noah, Moses, Jesus, the Holy Trinity and the holy family etc., even a trace of Solomon reflected in Mahoshada of the jataka tales. They could've been a little more creative at least. I think I'm...

  • Kids Say: No, little children didn't create god - insecure and ignorant people did. Believing in and worshipping a magical invisible creature in the sky gives a lot of people comfort and security. That said, little children can be wonderfully creative. Have you seen the show "Kids Say the Darndest Things"? (You can watch clips of the show on youtube). This sounds like something from that show: Christianity is the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who...

Othello:
  • Electra: Actually race has little to do with what Othello is actually about. Of course it does make an appearance here and there, but it's possible that the race theme has been slightly over-analysed (as is most of Shakespeare's work) by later interpreters. However - it deals with the equally potent themes of jealousy, obsession, paranoia, the idea of masculinity. To me those are the things that makes Othello a truly remarkable account of what is...
