On Feb 5th, Ports Authority officials told the Galle Face isso vadai vendors they couldn't operate their carts along the seafront anymore. They say it's gotten crowded with unauthorised vendors but vendors with passes who have sold there for decades are also blocked. (1/6) #lka

Can the Sunday Times crossword please be a bit more family friendly? I don't wanna explain to my grand aunt born in the 1920s what a thong is or why it's a 'scanty underwear worn by women' 🙃

When I say 'I'm sorry I can't speak Sinhala well', I'm not apologising as A Tamil that believes they ought to know Sinhala. So don't come at me with your 'you have nothing to be sorry for'!

[Shamika Kulasingham @Shamika_25]

When I say 'I'm sorry I don't speak Sinhala well' I'm not apologising because I believe every Sri Lankan should know Sinhalese but I'm apologising because I would not be able to communicate with YOU as well as I'd like to.

Just taught my 94 year old grand aunt how to Google crossword clues on her phone, she's super excited! Downside- she won't think I'm smart anymore🙃

If your reason for migrating is 'Sri Lanka has no future', you are basically saying 'All Sri Lankans staying back have no future'. You are DISRESPECTING all those who choose to and have no choice but to stay behind!
Feel free to migrate, but don't disrespect the rest of us ✨
