The Talking Mountain

I decided to sacrifice a few Sundays to sit face-to-face with my father to discuss and list down on our family tree. It came into my mind a long time ago. But every time I have the mood, either my father is away, or I have some other work. This time I had the perfect coincidence –I had my father by my side and I was free.  It was a tough battle to track down and put them into the correct order and sequence. Despite grueling hours of sitting with my father, unlearning and relearning past history, it was quite challenging to recall some names of some past generations who were lost long ago. Simply, few names couldn't be traced at all. We left it for some other occasions. I want to discuss the missing names and lineage with one of my cousins who has some ideas and background on one fine day. I also expect some other family members would definitely help us add and trace down a few missing names in future, as I would keep adding to the list.   Total Family Lineage of Dilumpa Rai [h...

Seven continents apart, one year ago, on this day I predicted the future of Ronald Koeman.  After Suarez's departure, Messi ruined the club. This is the power of how important Suarez was to the club and Messi. The club he worked for the past 21 years is now in ruins.  The club board has made a wrong decision. It shouldn't have happened that way. Although the idea behind releasing Suarez was to build a new team in the shadow of Messi, their plan had gone wrong. Koeman should have known that Barcelona wasn't only on the shoulder of Messi alone. Although Messi played a critical role for the club, but Suarez was equally important and critical for the Barca fans. He should have relieved him of his will.  FC Barcelona is undergoing a hard time, but I am sure the club will get back to their toe slowly after the Messi Factor fades over Camp Nau arena. It will take time. But Barcelona and fans have to survive and move on.  Although I am not a Barcelona fan...

Surprised by the facts written in the book, I was thoroughly moved by the analogy, story, reflection and insight. The book for everyone who wishes that life is merely empty –exist, or doesn’t exist.   This book has far more reaching views of one inner self, peace, vegetarianism, meditation, maroon robes and shaved head. The views written in the book don't mean to differentiate between different religions –people, race and background. It means to say that everyone is exactly the same no matter where one lives, eats, does, and preaches. Everything under the sun is absolutely the same and experiences the same cause and condition, no matter how small, or big are the size.    I liked the concept and logic shared to explain the difference between the beautiful and ugly –the concept of beauty and ugly however is very phenomenal and unique and very significant, but both are all the same in different eyes. The idea of Heaven and Hell is very much similar and resounding to wha...
