Real Luxuries in Life

1. Living 10 minutes from work
2. Living 5 minutes from the gym
3. Having quiet neighbors
4. Having money left at the end of the month and investing it
5. Peace at home
6. Drinking coffee without rushing
7. Sleeping with a clear conscience
8. Laughing with people who truly get you
9. Traveling often for vacations
10. Waking up naturally without an alarm
11. Enjoying a home-cooked meal with loved ones
12. Having time to read a book in one sitting
13. Finding joy in simple daily routines
14. Having a pet that greets you happily at the door

These are the things that actually feel rich.

Observation about wealthy people:
I once worked closely with someone very wealthy, and what stood out wasn’t their lifestyle it was their restraint.

If their coffee came wrong, they didn’t send it back three times. They just drank it.
If a flight was delayed, they didn’t rant at the gate agent. They opened a book.

There was this quiet understanding that not everything deserves a reaction.
While everyone else around them treated minor inconveniences like personal attacks, they treated them like background noise. Temporary. Not worth the spike in heart rate.

It didn’t feel like indifference. It felt like perspective.
They weren’t rushing to win every tiny battle. They weren’t trying to control what couldn’t be controlled.

And I realized it wasn’t really about the money fixing things.
It was about security.
When you’re not constantly in survival mode, you don’t need to fight every inconvenience like it’s a threat. You can afford emotionally to let things slide.
And that might be the real luxury.

Unpopular opinion-
No one from the 96 team should be anywhere near this current setup.
None of them understand modern cricket.
I dont think anyone in sri lanka understands modern cricket apart from Sanga and Mahela.

[Kumar Sangakkara @KumarSanga2]

Not a great outing by @OfficialSLC against England. The planning and execution by the bowlers were in sharp contrast to the same by the batters. Hard hands, mishara’s lack of intent and not reading the game situ or pitch cost them.

[viranjan @leux987]

After 3 quick wkts for 20 you would think you're skipper would come out, face the fire and guide your team to a good position. Nope in comes your bowling all-rounder to face Archer. SMH

Excellent match for Madushanka. Bowled brilliantly in the opening PP,now closing out at the end. #slvsen

[viranjan @leux987]

#SLC is riding high rn. Which is a good thing in a wc. But the elephant in the room have to be addressed. Is the batting order capable enough to put a fighting score on the table, if Bradman goes out for a low score?

Tall glass buildings looks good until you start working in those.

Pathum Nissanka!!! Remember the Name!!!! #slvs

[viranjan @leux987]

Mendis missing the stumping to deny Hemantha back to back wickets. Could that be the turning point of the game? Superb over nevertheless #slvsaus

[viranjan @leux987]

Pakistan got the worst start possible with the bat. How do you recover giving Hardik a wicket maiden first over. Next up is Bumrah lol. #INDvsPAK

[viranjan @leux987]

@RexClementine That is why it was important to keep Asalanka as the captain. You just dont sack someone for going through a lean patch. Especially, 2 months out of a WC. Did India Sack SKY when he was going through it before the WC. No. They backed him to the hill & gave even more confidence.

[The Armchair Critic @DArmChairCritic]

Sri Lanka got rid of two PP bowlers and now have to bowl Hasaranga and Shanaka during the PP. It took Sana Boi just 1.5 years to destroy the team altogether.

[Aravinthan Arunthavanathan @Cricket_decoded]

Tonight is a harsh reminder as to why the additional batter-part time 5th bowler combination is a fantasy concept. We don't have a 7th batter who can outweigh the impact of a specialist bowler or at least an all-rounder. If tonight doesn't teach that lesson, dont know what will!

Arjuna Ranatunga was a leader in the truest sense. He literally put in everything on the line for Muralidharan, when Emerson called him out for his bowling action.
This goes back to 1995, when umpire Daryl Hair in the Boxing day test, signalled no ball and deemed his action illegal.
Fast forward to 1999, the same thing happened and this time Emerson was the one calling him out. Ranatunga had enough of this and asked the Sri Lankan players to walk off. Not many would have dared to do so, and not many would have thought that Arjuna would be so swift in taking such a call.
A few phone calls were made, time was lost but the match resumed. And Murali did get to bowl further in this game, with Emerson in charge, and from the same end where Emerson was officiating.
The match had its own share of drama, and Sri Lanka pulled off a brilliant chase, courtesy Mahela Jayawardene's brilliant century, but who hit the winning runs, the man in focus Muttiah Muralidaran.

No better day to discuss this, than 17th March, the day Sri Lanka won the 50 over World Cup, under Arjuna Ranatunga.

Favourite part of the little pre-Test ceremony for Dimuth Karunaratne, was his mother clutching his arm like a nervous parent dropping her child off for his first day of school.

You can play 100 Tests, but you'll always be their baby.

NPP winning the North, Nuwara Eliya and Central Colombo without a single alliance is nothing but Historic.

The people who voted have spoken - they want President @anuradisanayake to act on his promise of change.
