New look Sri Lankans lead the way in Zimbabwe BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Rangana Herath and Upul Tharanga eased Sri Lanka’s worries about leadership potential in their ranks by piloting the Islanders to a clean sweep of the Test and one-day triangular series in Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka embarked on this tour sans regular leaders Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal and their main strike bowlers, Dhammika Prasad, Dushmantha Chameera and Shaminda Eranga all out injured but found enough depth to rout the Zimbabweans in the two Test series before going on to win the one-day tri-series also featuring the West Indies. ...

Srilanka – why should it be the next Big Bang? A layman’s analysis BY Alok Das For the last many years the economics and business world have been obsessed with topics like China and India, China versus India, BRICS (the alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). Heads of governments, international agencies, big corporates, and media keep talking about these topics and we – the commonplace people – keep listening to them. Without going any further into these discussions, it is a fair statement that we keep forgetting about the potentials of other counties. One of the countries that have high potentials is Srilanka. Why? So you look at me with a suspicion? I can tell you why I believe so. Now allow me to set the tone of the conversation here. I am not an economist or an expert of anything for that matter, and that is ...

The statue had been garlanded, apparently. It’s impossible to tell if those who passed by knew what it was all about. We can’t tell if those who pass that junction on a daily basis know whose statue it is if indeed they had even noticed it. That’s how it is. Time passes, monuments once new and people once fresh in one’s memory, blend into the landscape and into the long history of a nation respectively and they are no longer noticed or remembered. The man thus commemorated was Lalith Athulathmudali. To put it all in perspective, even I who knew him well, had no idea that such an ...

Read More →“ROAD-SAFETY” by Desmond Kelly ‘The Star of eLanka’ In comparison to many Countries around this World of ours, Australia has some of the BEST roads, available for drivers of motor vehicles, anywhere. It is true that “unmade” Country roads may pose the odd question, but most major roads are a pleasure to drive on, maintained “mainly” as they should be, and, provided the nuts in your tyre-assemblies are not the “nuts” behind your steering wheels, we should not be faced with the problems that we do, in this day & age. Why is the road-toll in Australia SHOCKING! ?. Why are more people dying as a result of road trauma than even those who go to war?. Why are the hospitals always overcrowded with victims severely injured on our roads? . Why, why, why,?. We ask these questions a million times and still cannot find a satisfactory answer. I have ...

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR NOVEMBER 2016 This is a great poem that reminds us to always be mindful of our words and actions toward others because the moment we let them go, they will have an effect on someone else either good or bad. Hope you will be blessed by this poem and remember to be mindful of the pebbles that you drop in the water of life. Enjoyed this poem for many reasons but mainly because it reminds us that our words do not end when we finish speaking them, but they go on and on to either bless or discourage someone else. What you do for one person will not end with that person but will be passed on to others, just as you passed a blessing or kind gesture on to someone else. ...
Read More →Most of Sri Lankan type of food can be cooked by saving nearly 60% energy by Dr Hector Perera: London Direct heat cooking is applied mainly in Asian type of cooking such as rice and curries. One of my concern is to find out how to save in energy and to stop any cooking aroma getting on them while cooking. If the people are not really careful in saving energy in cooking, they have to pay for whatever the energy they used, apart from that they pollute the atmosphere with polluted gases. Back home in Sri Lanka they used firewood stoves in cooking but now things have changed for better with modern facilities such as with modern gas and electric cookers, ovens and with extractor fans. They cannot use any more firewood stoves unless they are in remote areas or in villages because now they live in apartments. Unlike in ...

“THE MINISTER’S CALL” by Desmond Kelly the “Star of eLanka” This is presently very much in the “news” on television at the moment, but for those of you who are not aware of it, “I say what I mean,& mean what I say”. This tragic drama occured in Geraldton, a little mid-west town of Perth,Western Australia, in 2014, and what should have been a “true-life” love story, ended as a “true-death” sentence for this young male doctor (Athukorale), who was bludgeoned to death, (as he slept), by his Sri Lankan wife, (Liyanage), also a doctor. and quite a popular one, in Geraldton too, I believe. Two young people with everything to live for, “obviously” in love, but covertly in a marriage that was fraught with abuse both physically & psychologically, , suffered by Chamari Liyanage,at the hands of Dinendra Athukorale, her husband,(it has to be noted by non Sri Lankans ...
