Jamila doesn't get to rewrite history. The Chabad on Green Path (Opposite Cinnamon Red) isn't a new structure that came up. Cinnamon Red now sits where the Great Synagogue once sat. The tiny Sri Lankan Orthodox Jewish community has more than a century of a footprint here.

With so many high-rise buildings coming up in and around #colombo, do authorities realise that the #colombofirebrigade has only a few aerial ladder trucks, and even those can reach only around 10 or 12 floor's height? How will we face a high-rise fire 🔥 in Colombo?
Today on my way home from work I found this kid in the middle of the road. I looked to see if he belonged to anyone, if he had other dogs with him... Nothing... He was alone and crying non-stop. We went to the vet, he didn't have a chip and so I decided let's be a family! We came home and I put him to bed...He's sleeping so deep, calm and happy. His first photo happy... And I want many more to follow. Thank you for coming into my life! Animals choose us.💝
