Einstein’s Night On The Town

I’m not making a habit of this or anything, but someone got me an action figure of Einstein. This are some photos of him in action, with Barbie and friends. I read on the back of the box that he discovered special relativity when he was 26, which disturbs me greatly. I’m 27 and still playing with dolls.

” I’m 27 and still playing with dolls ”

Very apt. Humbled by this confession. How modest, no Indi ?

The Military State Of Mind:

jcnars: @rubbish, you hit the coin. Indi seems to have sold his soul of late. Sucking up to the govt. like a pro. @girigor, talking loud doesn't always means talking sense. We are in a period between wars, if: a) nuts like you don't STFU and b) china is allowed a naval base in SL....
Girigoris the One: Tamils are being mistreated, Sinhalese should understand blah blah blah Yoy say "But for the sinhalese people, they find it good that the armed forces are around because almost all of them are sinhalese and past experience shows they will favour their own people, sadly." Tell me when the LTTE was around, did they even allow normal Sinhalese peeps to walk in to their area freely? Where were you then? Did you complain to the LTTE why...
myil selvan: dear indi, You as a Canadian sinhalese may find it hard to comprehend the nature of militarization. But for the sinhalese people, they find it good that the armed forces are around because almost all of them are sinhalese and past experience shows they will favour their own people, sadly. But for the Tamil people, they see it as an occupying force not interested in their welfare but only in holding real-estate. The coming days, months are...

The Last Jail Of The Last King:

prasad: I remember it being octagon shaped. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me....
Jack Point: Rather appropriate that the cell is in the Ceylinco premises. Perhaps their former chairman should occupy that rather than the cell in Welikada?...
Shammi: Thanks for spying out these little gems. I think there were two wives with him at the time of his capture and incarceration. Have you seen the bit of the old fortifications of Colombo left within the premises of the Commercial Bank building in Fort? Beware of the suspicious security guard there!...

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...
Whacko: the question is why we stop asking these questions when we are adults...
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...

The Colombo Lighthouse, Chaitya Road:

magerata: Never been there, thanks Indi, will make an effort next time....
Chavie: I think we should thank Racially-stereotyping tards like you for making it all possible....

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...

Mannar Is Pretty Sweet

I won't go into it into too much detail, but Mannar is a paradise. It's the point of Sri Lanka closest to India, a little spit off the edge of the island. It's a bit trouble to get to. We hammered my poor Toyota hatchback through the rape road through Wilpattu National Park (which by all accounts should be illegal) and then down an impressionistic patch of rubble and despair to Mannar. The town itself

Double Long Exposure

This is a double exposure. The shutter is open for 20 seconds. For the first 10 the subject holds a pose. Then they jump and held another pose. In this case the subject got too ambitious and fell over so there are actually three exposures. This was at night, after the sun had set over the Kalutara hills. The light you see on the plants is not visible to the naked eye. All we saw

Buddhi Singing, Punchi Open Mic

This one wasn't magic, till the very end. The thing about open mics is that they can be boring, but then you get stuff that really surprises you. This time, at the very end of the night - when many people had left and I really had to pee - this fellow came and started tuning his guitar. His name's Buddhi and he's from a Moratuwa-based band called Wagon Park. He sang in Sinhala and

Photos: Random Yards And Gardens

These are photos of random peoples gardens. Above is from a house which has what appears to be a full sized evergreen in the yard. They have not decorated it for Christmas, but perhaps they should. My friend in Borella has a random bullock cart in their yard, pictured below. Also featured are a rooftop garden overlooking town hall, an austere pool/lawn combo, and two long exposures - one of a pretty girl in Maharagama

Like Women For Water

Went to Udappuwa last week, over Vesak. Udappuwa is on the north-west coast, near Chilaw. The town is a poster-child for global warming, sitting precariously between a lagoon and the sea. For now it's a little gem accessible via deeply potted roads and narrow bridges. You drive along one raised road, surrounded by watery marsh and prawn farms. The center of the almost entirely Tamil town is a under-construction Kovil, fitting as we were there
