Frustration In The North Amidst Reconciliation Rhetoric-By Jehan Perera Jehan Perera Source:Colombotelegraph The frustration within the Tamil polity at the failure of the government to treat them fairly and address their grievances is taking a new turn in parliament. Unable to reason with those who hold the majority of votes, Tamil parliamentarians are taking to non-violent action over words. Those political parties that represent ethnic and religious minorities rarely if ever have sought to physically disrupt the proceedings in parliament, one reason being their paucity of numbers. Almost without exception, physical protest actions in parliament have been the preserve of the ruling party and main opposition parties. The nadir of such clashes was seen in rowdy behavior in parliament during the abortive constitutional coup of 2018 when then Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was sacked without warning by his erstwhile ally, President Maithripala Sirisena. Parliamentarians belonging to the Tamil and Muslim political ...
Election enthusiasm grasps Sri Lanka – By Arundathie Abeysinghe In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. Franklin D. Roosevelt In politics, nothing is impossible. There are discussions in political circles to scrap the Executive Presidency. Along with this move, there is fear among ordinary citizens, civic groups and trade union activists and opposition parties, if the government will attempt to postpone the Presidential Elections in the guise of enacting constitutional amendments to abolish the Executive Presidency. Yet, postponing elections, Presidential or Parliamentary is unlikely as public opinion is building against such a move. Sri Lanka is abuzz with election fever, although, the presidential election, constitutionally scheduled for this year, has not yet been officially declared. Major political parties are preparing for the Presidential and General Elections, the former due by end 2024. Meanwhile, President Ranil Wickremesinghe has kept his ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – COME AS YOU ARE – By Charles Schokman “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”. – Matthew 11:28-29, NIV More About This Verse—Its meaning:— This is an invitation by the one and only Jesus. If you’re tired and struggling, He can give you rest. This also describes the path to God the Father, but it is not one of labour and hard work. Following Jesus frees us from carrying the burden of our own sin because He has already done that work. All we need to do is put our faith, hope, and trust in Jesus. To take His yoke is to commit to Him and put ourselves under the protection and authority ...

An Outstanding Mansion: “Regina Walauwwa” become “College House”-by Yomal Senerath-Yapa Yomal Senerath-Yapa, in Sunday Times, 8 May 2022, where the title runs thus: “Enduring Symbol of Colombo University” … with a sub-line reading “A new coffee-table book maps the beginnings of the country’s academia in 1921“ Source:Thuppahis The majestic College House down Thurstan Road – a whimsical marriage between an English country house and a Maharajah’s haveli with its conical roofs, turrets and slender carved wooden columns, is for the historian a relic of a bygone age. Originally called ‘Regina Walawwa’, in time the house would be renamed College House and become the icon of the Colombo University. Prof Sandagomi Coperahewa Dr. Shravika Amarasekara Built by Thomas Henry Arthur de Soysa for his wife, she would sadly never preside over the mansion or walk down its sweeping staircase, as she died before the building’s completion in 1912. It was in 2017 that Sandagomi Coperahewa, ...

When I was your age…BY R.S. KARUNARATNE Source:Sundayobserver Every time I asked my father for 10 cents to cover the bus fare to school, I would get the standard reply: “When I was your age I did not get any pocket money. So, I walked two miles barefoot uphill both ways.” Listening to him was a kind of torture when he started criticising the wimpy generation I belonged to. I believe my father too had to endure the same verbal treatment from his folks. They also would have told him. “When I was your age we did not have three-wheelers or a regular bus service.” With this knowledge comes the strange satisfaction that I will be able to treat my children in a better way. Admonitions When you become a parent or a grandparent, you are in a position to build up an arsenal of admonitions tailor-made for the ...
