I shifted rooms this weekend. With my siblings no longer living at home, I decided to relocate myself into the best room in the house! It’s actually the smallest room (where the architect-sister dumped all her building models) but the view out the windows is gorgeous! Well… mostly tall yellow and green bamboo trees, but … Continue reading
Avurudu treats for sure! Hope you had as much avurudu kalivi as your sweet tooth could handle. Since koha’s are symbolic of the Sinhala and Tamil New year, I painted this… Happy Avurudu folks! Since I’m a bit handicapped now that my right big toe is missing a nail, I’ve confined myself to my bedroom … Continue reading

Notice how the head of my DP is in the clouds? Get it? No? *deflates* Spent a while on Facebook browsing through friends’ profiles in search of creative cover photos. I was a bit disappointment I didn’t come across any; except for @Rushda_’s cover– her’s was cool. From what I did notice, about 90% of … Continue reading
… to bake! I’d given up on baking. The last time I baked was a few months back when my cousin’s birthday came up. He would constantly remind me that I’d never cooked or baked anything for him and so I decided to bake him a batch of chocolate chip cookies for his birthday. Unfortunately, … Continue reading
I checked out Sri Lanka’s first 3D cinema last week. While it might have been that Three Musketeers was shot in 2D and rendered 3D later- it just wasn’t all that brilliant. Sure, seeing famous actors pop off the screen is pretty neat (it feels like a theatre performance) but somehow several scenes still felt … Continue reading
