US / Russia / Georgia

I am not anti US: but I am anti idiot Bush and his camp which attacked Iraq and the aftermath, Kosovo, Darfur, and I can go on.. I am with Russia on its support to the breakaways. Perhaps one reason I love Russia is because it can say f*** of to idiotic Bush & co.

Despite my love for Russia, it sickened me to see how some Russian soldiers robbed from an innocent man, at gun point after been shoved to the floor at gun point.  I wish the Generals had instilled proper conduct on the soldiers: some, seem to be just thugs; that’s all. Given the footage, I would love to see them prosecuted. No sovereign, or representatives of a sovereign should be allowed to engage in criminal activities against civilians of any country. Period.

Some old great friendships must end

People change. I have changed. My old friends have changed. The relationship (friendship that is) after been mothballed for a while seem to have lost its colour. The silence has grown quite a lot, and the attitudinal change and mutual respect seems to have withered quite a lot. Its just life and how things are. So the relationship moves from an old – very strong one – to a rather weak one, only perhaps to be reactivated if someone is in deep shit and shouts for help.

August Rush

A brilliant movie. Simple story line, beautiful, brilliant acting. The key voices (when they spoke) too was just melodic. Boy, I still get goose bumps when I think about the movie.

A must see… You can watch the Trailer here.

Dialog Reduces Tariffs?

Checked the Dialog website and it says about giving a discount for calls with a longer duration.

I sincerely hope LKR 477 is only a one time charge. Its a pleasure to see them quote the LKR 477 all inclusive, wish they did the same for the call charges too!

The beauty of competition. Communication tariffs seem to be the only commodity under the influence of gravity in Sri Lanka – everything else just keeps on going up.

By the way, should this price reduction have an impact on the share price?

Ambivalent about this weekend

I want the weekend just to relax after a rather tiring (and interesting) week at work, a weeding, dinners and a bachelors party (which had only alcohol and food).

Sad because one of my closest friends have already left the city, and the other will leave the country within a few weeks. Time, fortunately or unfortunately waits for no one. So it goes both ways. We will all meet again “soon” after about 1-1.5 years. So far, neither of us have any plans to migrate…

Its really funny how the three of us (and my other close friend who will leave in about one year) met. It was all a coincidence. If samsara is true, I am pretty sure we would have been one big clique of robbers / Generals in our previous lives. Non of us are childhood friends – we met well in to our late teens, early twenties, and got quite attached to each other during a short period.
