History says that about 320 Ceylon school cadets at the ages of 16 to 20 years had volunteered to fight alongside the Allied Forces in the Great War from 1914 to 1918. Royal, St Thomes, Trinity and Kingswood sent ...

At its centre are three extraordinary Sri Lankan women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. The Taste of Mango, Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature, is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgently personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence, and love. At its centre are three extraordinary Sri Lankan women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. Their stories, by turns difficult and jubilant, testify to the entangled and ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love. Drawing on ...

Australia produce the unthinkable to stun India in the World Cup final. Bowlers do a superb demolition job on star studded Indian batters. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor). The cricket God’s said India at home, but the God that matters said otherwise as Australia defied all odds to win an unprecedented sixth Cricket World Cup. Ahamedabad was renowned to be a slow track but Australia challenged the myth to run down India and break the hearts of a fanatical nation at home to reverse what happened in 2011. The shock win with seven overs to spare proved the validity of self belief which Australia are renowned for. Travis Head 137 off 120 with 4 sixers and 15 fours, and Marnus Labuschagne a sedate 58 off 110, saw Australia stave off an Indian challenge at 47 fo 3 adding 192 for the fourth wicket. India went into ...
