Freaky Road

Last Friday some of my friends and myself went to visit buddy in Maharagama. I should admit that I am not familiar with the roads in Maharagama, so looking for the turn off to our friend’s place was quite a tedious affair. Nevertheless, after we went in circles we successfully reached our destination. On our way back I waited patiently to turn on to the main road from the Elhena Road. As soon as I got way I turned on to what I assumed was the road. To our horror there was a thud (loud noise) and the car bumped up and down, before I managed to bring the car to a halt. I assumed that I had hit a rather biggggg pothole; coz what else can you expect in the middle of a road. But, to our surprise we figured out that it was barrel drain. The barrel drain was covered with concrete slabs in the middle of the road but, one was dislodged and for my bad luck the car had hit the one dislodged. I don’t see why such issues are not reported and attended to by relevant authorities; because if it were

Unexplainable Miracles

No doubt nowadays mobiles phones have become a cant-live-without accessory to many of us. I myself make sure to keep my phone somewhere in the vicinity wherever I am so that I wont miss any calls or SMS. Thinking back I find it quite amusing that once upon a time I didn’t own a mobile and my life was just perfect with out it.

Yesterday, while driving back home with a friend I told my friend hang on to it while I drove. My phone was the last thing on our minds as she rushed to catch the bus. A little while later handsfree beeped. “Now how in heaven did my hands free get disconnected” I thought to myself and instantly looked around for my handbag, as I assumed my phone was there. I was at a

Superstitions part 1 - The Veil

“When you get married be very careful as to who raises your face veil. Make sure that, that person is not a widow or a divorcee or a childless lady” he rambled off to me a few days ago. “What’s the big deal?” I said. “It is very bad for the bride coz most of the time, she ends up with some ill fate. Like her marriage will go on the rocks or she won’t be able to bare children or something bad like that” He said. “All rubbish, I don’t believe in all that jazz, whatever that’s meant to be will happen. We can’t change our fate and besides it’s not right to treat people like the plague just coz they are a widow, childless or a divorcee” I said. “Your very head strong” He said. “Que Sera Sera.... whatever will be will be” I remember saying and wrapping up the conversation. ( Que Sera Sera … are the words off an old vintage song ) Are you a superstitious person??? I don’t know about you all but I sure don’t believe in such superstitions even though many of my relatives are quite superstitio
