Eye to eye encounter
Sharks! No it is not a bloody attack but a curious peep at the strange looking “thing”, wondering what has invaded their world. Then a flick of the tail fin, off goes the inquisitive one, but not too far away, to be joined by its siblings and cousins.

INTERNATIONAL
What do Muslim women want?
When caricature takes the place of dialogue, everyone suffers - especially when it comes to understanding issues affecting women, who struggle worldwide against being silenced. Some right-wing American bloggers recently twisted an article that I wrote in a way that did just that.
EDUCATIONS
Is the education system catering to our job market?

SPORTS
Lankan cricket and 2011 World Cup
Getting knocked out of the Champions Trophy is not the end of the world. Just to sum it up the Lankan lads played the game as good any other on day one and faltered on a bad pitch on day two and followed it up with a very bad day in office on day three. This resulted in their demise and so the same happened to even hosts South Africa and India who are the top dogs in all kinds of cricket in the cauldron.

EDITORIAL
How do we care for them?

The race of the political tortoise and hare -Political Column
A parallel is perhaps Aesop's fable of the race between the hare and the tortoise. The speedy hare boasted about how fast he could run. The tortoise challenged it to a race. Half way when the hare fell asleep, the slow and steady tortoise won the race, goes the story.
Look for the right one-who’ll keep your promises -5th Column

Hi-tech teacher at their little fingertips
White and green, they are toy-like and handy, slightly thicker than the school-slates of old. At the touch of a button, attractive lessons with colourful pictures or other educational activity in the form of games, either in Sinhala or Tamil, light up the laptop screen, accompanied by lilting music.
