We need to stop determining how good or bad a person is though the religion he or she associates. There are good and bad people in every race and religion. Remember "humanity before religiosity." You are no good to your religion or God if you're not a decent human being first.
The Ceylon Electricity Board has issued a special advisory requesting rooftop solar panel owners to voluntarily switch off their systems until 3:00 pm today.
The CEB says the unusually low demand during the ongoing disaster period requires this step to ensure the stability and reliability of the national power grid.
The public’s cooperation is greatly appreciated.
“If Ranil can read in the ICU, with a trial ongoing and the threat of jail time hanging over him, what’s stopping you?” I ask myself, as I sit down with my book this Sunday afternoon, lunch cooked and house in order.

Abusive parents blame everyone else for their adult child going no contact. No curiosity. No self-reflection. Yet, as their story unfolds, it often becomes clear they're not upset about losing contact with their child, they're upset about no longer controlling the narrative.
Happy birthday to a boss who encourages, inspires, leads by example, and constantly pushes us to push our own boundaries & grow! @harshap
Here’s wishing you more strength in all you do as you continue to dream big, innovate, and leave your mark in all you undertake ✨✨✨
I'm conducting a research study for my masters on how creative arts activities influence employee performance among Software Engineers & QA Testers in SL.
Please take the time to participate in this quick survey.

Quite pathetic (and ridiculous, really) when people get so pressed about other people’s sexual orientation.
Firstly, it’s not your business.
Secondly, they are not in your bed.
Calm yourself.
The country voted for change. But I hope you know that this means we as citizens need to change too. Corruption isn't just at the top. We need to stop it in the tracks & discipline ourselves. It's as simple as don't little the road & don't give bribes. It starts with us!
Congratulations to @Dr_HariniA on your appointment as Prime Minister. I hope your appointment will inspire women of Sri Lanka to bring their talents, strength, and vision to the forefront.
Harini Amarasuirya becomes Sri Lanka’s third woman prime minister, with the title held previously by Sirimavo Bandaranaike and Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga.
@munza14 People should just let it be. The people vote & we got the answer. Maybe Sajith would have won if Ranil didn't do what he did. But does it even matter now? It's good to give the underdogs a chance because what did the elite parties do? So maybe, let's give them a chance 1st.
@Itweetbollocks_ The only reason you think this way is if you believe you're perfect. We are continously learning & enhancing our capabilities. So I really don't see what's wrong with what he said. Unless you think he is a magician. Country is not gonna just change in 1 day. Just like we don't.
Really liked the fact that the new President spoke about gaining the trust and goodwill of the people who didn't give him the majority votes (ie the North & North-east) in his inaugural speech. A pleasant deviation from the usual racist rhetoric.Good luck and God speed to him! 🙏
It is my fervent hope that Sri Lanka’s new President Anura Kumara Dissanayake succeeds in leading the country towards true recovery, reconciliation, & prosperity for all while eliminating corruption & impunity. If he fails, we all fall. May God bless him. Onward, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
No empathy = no progress. This is the problem with most of the privileged. Because they have everything, they don't even stop to think about others and their feelings.
No one is born a racist. It's humans who make them. Just like it's humans in Israel killing babies in Palestine. People say it's religion, but it's humans justifying and finding a glorified way to hate someone in the disguise of a religion.
To automatically believe that Muslims are just not good. Being Muslim means you're following a religion. It doesn't mean that we are not human or don't feel the same way as Buddhists, Christians and Hindus.
We have the same blood, heart, hands and legs.
I want to be able to be a Muslim peacefully without these questions & certainly without this judgement. And certainly not from a 5 year old.
A girl can dream.
