Photos: Burgers King, Barbie, Rubix Cube


Burgers King. Few more shots


I’m going to try to post some photos every day. These are a few shots I took recently. Above is a scene from Burgers King. I think my friend Eraj actually took this shot. This is a roadside eatery at the corner of Malay and Union Street. It started off as just a cart but now it has a sign and everything. It is not, in fact, a branch of Burger King. I had a shawarma in the past which I thought mediocre, but I had a chicken burger last night and it was delish. The place is only open in the evenings, like many joints in this healthy diet unfriendly town.


Avatar Barbie

I went to see the kids and Neha and I did some coloring. The above is actually done by her father, Deshan. I find the entire Barbie scene a bit disturbing. This booklet seemed to be her tween cousins or something and I thought their shorts were entirely too short. But I digress. I also daresay that crayon is quite difficult to do anything decent with, though the kids are at an abstract stage of development. I personally find it hard to work with.


Rubix Cube water tower, Colombo 8 I think

This is a giant water tower which looks like a very big Rubix Cube. If it were a Rubix Cube it would be 8×8 and nearly impossible to solve. Not to mention difficult to manipulate.


I canz not read this. Is too long

This is Damian the cat sleeping on my book. I’ve been reading ‘The Hindus‘ by Wendy Doninger. Which, while witty, is mad long and dense. Damian’s reaction is, at times, appropriate. For more amusing cat photos, the lolcats at icanhascheezburger.com are, er, amusing.

The rubix water tower is what supplies the National hospital. It’s pretty huge close up….As a kid I once climbed nearly to the top… great view, except when looking down… which is scary!

I’ve wanted to eat at that place for sometime. Couldn’t find a time. Should go there soon.

I once saw a 10x10x10 rubik’s cube being solved in less than 6 minutes on youtube. Couldn’t find that video now. Here’s a 7x7x7 cube solve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=232J2WMwHTg

New New Kottu (4)

Saj: This looks cool. Without knowing about the upgrade i was accessing kottu from my phone.. Yea it looks like an app. Why dont u think about creating an app? :)

tastyjujubes: Have to say the pink colour used on the dark grey background on the top is a bit of an eyesore. Everything else looks great.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

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 seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

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 Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
