If you find yourself in Kandy, a charming four-star hotel awaits you, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a delightful spot to unwind and enjoy warm, courteous service – the Oak Ray Regency Hotel in Getambe.

Hello viewers, I am exploring a city in the hills of Kandy, one of the most stunning locations in the central hills surrounding the town. Before you reach the city along the Colombo-Kandy main road, there is an exciting suburb called Getambe, where the Mahaveli River bends behind one of the most convenient hotels, which I call the Hub Centre by the river Mahaveli.

The hotel I affectionately refer to as the hub centre is the Oak Ray Regency Hotel, situated on Deveni Rajasinghe Mawatha. This delightful narrow road runs alongside the picturesque banks of the Mahaveli River, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is conveniently located near the famous Buddhist temple, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and exploration!

The Oak Ray Regency Hotel in Gatambe, Kandy, is a luxurious 4- star establishment that combines contemporary living with natural beauty. This hotel features ten spacious banquet halls ideal for hosting conferences and events, enhanced by stunning views of the mountains and the gently flowing Mahaweli River.

Accommodation The hotel offers 50 Superior Deluxe Rooms designed to provide guests with a comfortable and memorable stay. Each room has modern amenities, including air conditioning, a mini-bar, and a television, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout their visit. The rooms’ decor is airy, featuring light linen and rich wood, and many include private balconies that overlook scenic views.

  • Facilities: Spacious Restaurant overlooking the Mahaweli River. Lunches and dinners are buffets, but you may request any favourite dish you desire.
  • Rooftop dining with lounge pool available
  • 10 Reception halls- for functions, weddings business conventions Well-equipped gym facility with a trainer Plentiful parking with valet service.

Hosting conferences and gatherings. So, the next time you visit Kandy for a holiday or business trip, this is the hotel to select, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre city.

I reckon you’ll adore this place. Farewell for the time being. Goodbye

In Memory of Pearl Jennet Fonseka

As the hyped up Ashes series gains momentum, and the gloves are off for a feisty battle, this series definitely has the trimmings of a blockbuster as cricket mad Aussies gather to meet England's challenge and matching barbs with the Barmy Army.  Much has been written and debated about the clash of cricket's titans which will remain unrivalled in terms of the game's origins that will continue in its entirety.  While pundits and analysts decipher the intricacies, I take a different approach to my assessments and predictions about how this series will play out. Statistics and predictions on past performance has no real relevance in this case much like picking a Melbourne Cup winner. Looking at the two combatants, I see two potent bowling attacks that will prove pivotal to deciding this series pretty much on the proviso, the key bowlers stay healthy.  Both teams have batting that reaches deep, but here is where Australia hold a decided whip hand.  Australia has an influx of talent that is available to be tapped into, England not so deep. Therein lies the possible advantage to the Aussies apart from home conditions that the tourists will take time to adjust.  The evolving methods of pitch preparation gives England no advantage in strategic planning,  but Australia may have some inside insights as most home team's do these days although there's no guarantees in this game of uncertainty.  Pushed in to the domestic program has given the Aussies time to assess playing conditions and the nature of the pitches in the five Tests before the big dance. Australia's dilemmas, if it is, focus around getting the batting and team makeup right, more so the batting order because of the injuries to key pacemen , skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood which makes it intriguing and let's England in with a chance. England for their part, are projecting an air of cool confidence having already finalised their battle plans. But that facade could well hide their innermost feeling of uncertainty against a known adversity that is drilled to not buckle down. No matter what.  My prediction rests on Australia's batters led by stand in skipper Steve Smith and a line-up that runs down to number eleven to tip the scales in Australia's favour.  It will be the hinge on success or disaster against an England attack that is as potent as Steve Smith's men with Joffer Archer, Mark Wood and skipper Ben Stokes's spearheading an attack that has plenty of variety in a closely talented duel between cricket's greatest rivals. Mitchell Stark leads a fiery Australian attack and although missing Cummins and Hazelwood, is still potent with Ben Duckett, Scott Boland and Michael Nesser to choose from. If Duckett and Boland are both selected,  it will be a landmark decision of two indigenous players representing Australia for the very first time.  My prediction is Australia 4-1 or 3-2 but the contests will be riveting. Can't see a draw in excellent Aussie conditions
