Camera Run Over By Train

I put my camera on the train tracks and let the train run over it. There’s enough room. Train tracks run all along the coast, so a day at the beach inevitably involves crossing the tracks. Not crossing so much as loitering, reconnoitering and perhaps having a picnic. Sri Lankans treat rail tracks with about as much caution as AK-47s, which is to say none at all. People live by the tracks, walk on them, let their kids play there. Remarkably, few people seem to get hit. I’ve taken a private train down to Bentota before and ridden the public up through Kandy. I’m pretty sure the Railways Corporation is losing money, but there’s still a certain romance. About 1:15 into this video you can see another train heading down Marine Drive.
This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like 
Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from 
There’s nothing wrong with pornography, but there’s a lot wrong with porn. Nothing wrong with watching people have sex, but too often that sex is brutal, senseless and coerced. I mean how many couples are coming on each others faces every day? Hence, philosopher king Alain de Botton – after calling for a

Oh wow, fantastic. I actually got a little freaked when the train first went over, it was almost like I was there. Now I know what that first crowd in Paris felt like when they watched the world’s first moving film by Lumiere brothers’. You probably know this, but for those who don’t – the clip was of a train coming into a station and the crowd watching apparently reacted to it quite violently – jumping ‘out of harm’s way’, screaming, fainting etc – as they watched the train rushing towards them. If they’d been shown this clip, it’d have definitely freaked them out a lot more!!
Really great idea.
my brother had a train accident :/ ( and lived to tell the story ) but I guess he falls in to the ‘few poeple’ category. so naturally, trains freak me out a bit..good one though.
Wow Indi, this is so cool! I wanna try it..
Hey Gypsy, cool piece of info thanks :)
woah thatsd so cool
Wow cool idea!
really a cool idea!!
Glad you didn’t get remanded for attempting to blow up a train using a Claymore. That’s what Police would have thought if one of them saw your attempt.
And imagine your attempt to explain the situation to police in Sinhala.
I think in order to get remanded for an attempted claymore bomb one would have to have a claymore in hand and not a camera. I’m always in danger of getting my camera taken, Colombo’s not very easy to photograph anymore
