The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself ~ Chief Seattle #lka#blackleopard
A calm nervous system changes the way you experience life. When you live from peace instead of urgency, everything carries a different energy. Your words become gentler. Your decisions become clearer. Your relationships become deeper. You stop rushing. You stop forcing. You stop needing to prove your worth. Instead, you move at a pace that feels true to you. You begin to trust that not everything has to happen today. You learn that things can wait... And everything you do becomes an honest expression of who you are. That's what peace gives you. A life that finally feels like your own.
Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.

This is some politically loaded take.
Sri Lanka has had governments that protected corrupt and incompetent political appointees for YEARS despite scandals. Many never resigned at all.
Here the court ruled, accountability followed and the official stepped down.
That is LITERALLY how functioning institutions are supposed to work.
Tried to buy this week's අනිද්දා newspaper and was told it's temporarily out of print for last three weeks, probably due to financial pressures, as it also doesn't run on ads. This is probably our best Sinhala national newspaper, critical coverage with a left slant. A loss...
@himalkk Sometimes non-intervention is the Midas touch! 😅
Policy was never our problem! It was always the "intervention" part that reigns havoc.
You know damn well why the revenue went up right?? 🤔
Under RW, a lot of customs revenue and income tax would have never been collected!

Nine years ago, when we first started, this was the dream. To be recognized internationally and to have the opportunity to be a voice for my nation to the world.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been a part of our journey and helped us build our platforms over the years. This is not only a significant personal milestone, but also a meaningful moment for travel content creators in Sri Lanka as we break a glass ceiling and help pave the way for many more to come.

Nuwara Eliya feels like a little piece of England in Sri Lanka. Cool weather, tea estates, old bungalows.
Then you find the Sita Amman Temple linked to the Ramayana and everything shifts.
Not just a pretty place. A story you experience.
@officiallahiru@NalindaJay Posting something without any credible source that could trigger public alarm, and then asking for clarification to avoid alarm. Contradictory.
