Wesak Rains

Summer generally sees some rains in Sri Lanka. This year was not far away. Wesak; which happens to be the Sri Lankan festival of lights has the myth that, it shall always be followed by rains. This year, the myth turned to be true yet again. Not only was it true, also it saw tens of thousands becoming homeless, organisations closed, transport hampered and a huge pit on one of the Lankan main roads. This time it was not a rain, but a 40 hour continual storm flooding most of Colombo!

After all, mother nature has her way of passing the message. We are not living our lives to her satisfaction. I guess the war, corruption, disgraceful deeds are all to blame. Its time for the long awaited change for a better future both for us and our younger generations.

I am ready for the change.....are you?
K!
