@Trinityter77 Whether we Chelsea fans like it or not, both of them were forwards for Arsenal. 😄

@TheDataHubX Seems New Zealand has quietly crossed over from Oceania to Asia 🤓

@stats_feed How come 4 from USA & 2 from Mexico, but only 5 from North America

While Sri Lanka spent over a decade planning a single new terminal at BIA, India increased its number of operational airports by around 90 during the same period. Unless we start executing faster, we can forget about becoming South Asia’s aviation hub. #SriLanka #Aviation

France are becoming this generation’s 90s Brazil.

Brazil reached World Cup finals in 1994, 1998 & 2002.

France: champions in 2018, finalists in 2022, and again looking like the team everyone wants to beat in 2026.

@nuuuwan I suggest to add Hercule Poirot and Eden Hazard 😌 to the list

Sri Lanka’s future may not lie on land…

But deep under the ocean 🌊

The question is:

👉 Will it unlock it?

Sri Lanka may be small on land…
But in the ocean, it’s MUCH bigger 🌊

And right now, there’s a hidden geopolitical story unfolding beneath the Indian Ocean 👇

#SriLanka #Geopolitics #IndianOcean

[Anuvinda Dissanayake @Anuvinda]

A practical solution exists 👇

🇱🇰 Security guarantee to India
🇮🇳 Economic participation
🤝 Joint development zone

👉 Share resources, avoid conflict

From India to Southeast Asia, April New Year is shared.

But only Sri Lanka follows nekath; a precise, nationwide restart of life at the same moment.

With Nonagathaya, even time pauses;
a rare “in-between” where the old year ends and the new hasn’t begun.

Repeated a question to ChatGPT after 3 years. The improvement is striking, faster, more meaningful, more refined. Makes you reflect on how quickly AI is evolving and where we’re heading next. #AI #ChatGPT #Innovation #FutureOfWork

I asked Chat GPT to write a poem about Colombo in Sinhala.

[Anuvinda Dissanayake @Anuvinda]

Many shops still don’t even have the displayed QR.

Why not send bank teams street by street to onboard vendors instantly? (At least for Urban and sub-Urban areas) Awareness + execution = real adoption.

In 1879, Andrew Carnegie took 4 hrs Colombo-Kandy.
In 1925, it dropped to 3 hrs.

As noted in Colombo: Port of Call @AjayKamalakaran

In 2026… still ~3 hrs.

150 years. Same journey. Same travel time.

That’s not heritage - that’s stagnation.

Modern city එකක් බවට යන ගමනේදී Colombo වලට තවදුරටත් ජලය වගේ මූලික අවශ්‍යතා සදහා limited sources මත රැදිලා ඉන්න බැහැ. Solar powered Desalination වගේ විකල්පයන් ට ආයෝජනය කල යුතුයි.
