Jaffna College faces a challenge to blaze new trails in education |
|
By Victor Karunairajan
Jaffna College is not a mere Fortress Vaddukoddai or a relic of the past freewheeling in her past glory. Neither has any one prescriptive claim on her.

Agony of Wilpattu- the betrayal of a Nature Heaven |
|
By Hiruni Gunawardana
Openings of ‘Highways’ and sheer humane infidelity to an unpardonable massacre of lush green wilderness, a continual assault on a splendid Biological brainwave of Mother Nature, torment of Wilpattu National Park has been unendurable at the least and outrageous at the most. It is with profound distress that we are forced to report this tragedy that was revealed with contrary to the promised succession of a new era with the end of war. Promised or not, Sri Lanka or rather the Sri Lankan authorities seemed to have completely forgotten or more accurately chosen to ignore the many attempts, pleas and even mass conferences held by the rest of the world in feverish haste over the deteriorating greenery throughout the planet. |

Metrosexualman: to gay or not to gay, that is the question |
 Apologies to my homie Will for the title. Twas too catchy to resist, bro. Metrosexuality. Can a Sri Lankan man pull it off? Some guys just wear eyeliner and studs and shiny shirts for attention-whorage purposes. One doing so as a true fashion statement has been found to be very, very rare. |

Want to Take the Train with Your MP? |
 I read an article about a past MP in a Sinhala newspaper a few days ago. It's not my habit to read newspapers regularly, in any language, but I just happened to find this one. What struck me about this gentleman was how he had described the way he used to travel to Colombo by train to attend Parliament sessions. That sounded like a joke as we who live in this country today have never seen a parliamentarian using public transport even occasionally. |

Lets Talk About Sex in Sri Lanka |
 It is about bloody time we started talking about sex. Honestly, the way people approach the subject of sex in Sri Lanka, even on the blogosphere which we can safely assume to be a more educated liberated sample, is laden with coyness and guilt. It is no secret that to outsiders, especially Westerners, Sri Lankans appear sexually repressed. We do not talk about it openly without guilt or shame, and the resulting shyness and misplaced humour that it evokes makes it obvious that we do not accept sex as a normal human need that should be fulfilled irrespective of marital status. |
