Bravo Asitha ADVERTISTMENTS
Who would have ever guessed that a childishly scrawled 'Do Not Erase', across carefully taped monster movies would one day transform into the title of an award-winning film. But with an inherited propensity for storytelling and the drama that goes along with it, the child's warning was perhaps prophetic.
 
Power of Mahathupa
Poring over the Mahavamsa, some aspects of the information in the Great Chronicle of Ceylon, intrigued and aroused the curiosity of architect Shereen Amendra.Whereas the establishment by ancient kings of many stupas across the island had been recorded with the basic information of where they were built and by whom, the Mahavamsa written in the 5th century singled out one for special detail.
 
Wild images
From Yala to the home of the Maasai in Kenya, the images are interspersed. Right next to elephants grazing lazily at sunset at Wasgamuwa is a panoramic image of two African elephants against the savanna. Leaf through a few more pages and you'll come across rosy-hued Lesser Flamingos at Kenya's Lake Nakura side by side with a flock of Greater Flamingos at Bundala.
 
Spice tour
Sri Lankan cuisine is hardly known in the US. Featured only among the Sri Lankan expatriate community, the average American has no idea of how unique or diverse the food can be.

Beauty queens on the ramp
Getting several international beauty queens to grace the Colombo catwalk is quite an achievement and the Rotary Club of Colombo East in association with the Sri Lanka Tourist Board is proud to present a bevy of international beauty pageant winners at ‘Fashion Statement 2007’, a gala fashion show on February 24 at Waters Edge, Battaramulla.
