Yes, it indeed wasa fantastic trip to the island nation. Few things notably came out namely
a. There was a distinct Indian presence: tyres, commercial vehicles, mobile phone companies, hotels, fast food joints, energy drinks etal. As I joked the other day, even the ocean is Indian.
b. The city of Colombo has recently come out of unrest. hey seem to have done so well in building the city economically and infrastructure-wise; clearly indicates teh sense of pride which each citizen must have taken in building the city. I am sure if this continues, this city would be on the global map much before a decade from now.
c. The cleanliness of not only the city lanes and sublanes but that of the country sie also attracts one.
d. Another thing Indians ought to learn is the sense of security that pervades in the city; we checked huge showrooms of Samsung, Nokia open just with a lock on a glass door at 1 AM. I cant imagine the same in India even 20 years from now.
I am planning to post a thanks letter to the Presient & Ambassador.

Another thanks!
Amidst the regular chores of the day, we tend to take many things for granted. It is not that we do not know the importance of these things / happenings but the pace that we live with seldom leaves us moments to pause and ponder about these things
1. One would have heard many a spiritual and wellness gurus speaking of feeling and controlling the breath. This is THE most important miracle with the touch of the almighty. It goes on to prove that every instant the common mortal is connected with the un-explainable. It proves every milli secon that one is alive and is complicating the already existing chaos on earth
2. All our further senses like sight, smell, taste et al; we all seem normal. We follow after the mundane objects (read material things) and have the habit of passing gory comments on things which do not like or detest. Just imagine the plight of a blind / deaf / dumb / handicapped who is also alive like us but is unable to feel the same like us
We cannot give others beyond a particular point. All that we can do is to thank God for our present state of affairs and for creating all the wonderful moments, beings and things around us.
