Sigmund Freud would have had something to say about this. On November 23, 2001 and living somewhere far away from Sri Lanka, I must have been in a strange and nostalgic mood or someone must have slipped a mind-mending drug into my cheap drink, because on this day I wrote a highly sentimental, cringe-worthy and embarrassingly silly article for my web page.

In recent months Wellawatte South where I live has had water supply failures very often. My complaints to the National Water Supply and Drainage Board have brought no permanent solution, but water bowsers were offered. There is in fact a serious situation arising. The UDA is best equipped to initiate and monitor action by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) to avoid such a crisis.
