අපි ආදරය කරන අයගෙන් අපිව අත්කරන්නට ජීවිතය තැත් කරයි. බොහෝ විට එය සිදුවන්නේ අපගේ සිහින හෝ අරමුණු හරහාය. එහෙත් අපි ආදරය නිසා අපේ සිහින අමතක නොකළ යුතුය. එය ජීවිතයේ කොටසක් යයි සිතා අපි යායුතු ගමන තනියම හෝ යායුතුමය.

2025

Image
Last night, I met some of my closest friends – people I love; people who have made me feel loved. We talked about our new year’s resolutions: fitness, travel, meeting more frequently. We talked about more personal goals. And I don’t know if it was the wine, the setting, the general gaiety of the season, but I was just so happy. And that happiness is, to a great extent, still with me, even as I spend the afternoon by myself, my mother off having lunch with friends and our cats and dog enjoying a post-lunch nap. And this seems like the perfect time to reflect on the year that was 2025. I don’t know if this serves any purpose, but it feels like such a natural need: to look back at the year you survived as you step into another. I wanted to see what I wrote in the past few years but I seem to have skipped a recap post in 2024 and 2023. I don’t know why, but it could be because most of both years were spent being careful. They didn’t feel like real years, much like those covid years did...

Make a drop- add list

 The Nation Everyone is so busy getting ready for 2014, or the future, that they have forgotten the year that just flew by us all. Before you make your list of New Year resolutions or buy a planner for the New Year, it is also important to look at 2013 or the ‘Old Year.’ What did 2013 mean to you? Since we are all making lists anyway, here’s one more you can and should make. Divide the paper and label one column as good and the other as bad. However, this is not where you list down all the good and bad things you did this year. Instead, write down every good, or happy memory, and then the unhappy memories. Maybe you found a new job this year. Met some amazing people. Read quite a number of good books. Spent quality time with your family. Managed to work but also have fun too. All the events you attended; concerts, meet ups, parties. Add all the memories to the list. It would be easier to go month by month. What happened in January, February and March and so...

Religion (a non finger-pointing post!)

Two subjects that must be avoid in most conversations are religion and politics. Since my knowledge of politics is as vast as my knowledge of French Cuisine, I will avoid it. Instead, religion! On a forum I often visit, a discussion that interested me was, "Do you belong to a religion?" Before that I had thought about religion, but never asked my self what was expected of one. So this won't be about God or god or gods. My belief or rather lack of belief in a higher power needn't be discussed here. Instead, the general idea of a religion. What is really expected from a religion? Comfort. Religion is that blanket you feel safer with. It may be hot, and you maybe sweating and yet, you need that blanket. It gives you an odd sense of comfort. That feeling of jumping from a high place knowing a safety net will catch you. Answers. What is life? What am I here to do? What will happen to me after death? Religion answers these questions. If you take a dictionary, ...
