Inspiring role GoldQuest seen exiting.....
Known for his long and distinguished career in theatre and on the screen spanning many decades, Henry Jayasena could well be described as a living legend. Yet ask him about his most cherished memories over the years and it is a measure of the man that it is not the accolades he has received as an actor and director that come first. “The day I got married…the day I had my son,” he says.
Sri Lanka’s garment industry says it needs exchange rate stability and the rate of inflation brought GoldQuest, the controversial multi-level marketing firm, is considering selling its majority stake in Ferntea after company chairman Anura Fernando quit following an ongoing dispute with other shareholders.Anura Fernando, who resigned on October 5 and went abroad the following day, is a nominee of GoldQuest which on July 2006 seized control of the company, earlier .....
   
Heart first at LRH No drinking, smoking scenes on TV
The tiny babe's eyes are wide open. He puckers up his face and opens his mouth in a wide yawn. What 18-day-old Nipuna Nethranjana Tennekoon, tenderly being cradled in the arms of a nurse of the Lady Ridgeway Hospital in Colombo, is oblivious to is that he is .....
Some television channels have begun following to the letter, rules pertaining to advertising and promotion of alcohol and tobacco – much to the annoyance of viewers.In recent weeks, MTV and Sirisa have blacked out drinking scenes or cigarette-smoking saying, in a notice that ran while the dialogue was on, “We are abiding by regulations in the Alcohol and Tobacco Act.”

President skips National Sports... Some democracy some election!
The 33rd National Sports festival will get underway at the Sugathadasa Stadium and fourteen other centres tomorrow as the elaborate arrangements to host the same at the D.A. Rajapaksa Stadium, Beliatta failed. There are some things I never seem to figure.

Generation (WH)Y The conquest of Ruhuna
I belong to Generation Y, as most of you who would read this probably do also. Generation Y is a term – and now a cliché – that has been used in popular American and European literature to loosely describe those who were born in the 80’s and 90’s. I can't be sure whether it is used to describe Sri Lankans, but I use it anyway.
The Tamil Adhikari commander met an enemy army, marching towards the hill-country. Having seen this commander, they tried to dodge. But as he happened to see the enemy, he gave chase. The enemy forces entered the Mahapabbata of the Ratmal mountains. That was their camp.
