Guardians of the Night: The Secret Life of Sri Lanka's Frogmouth
When dusk falls across the rain-soaked forests of Sinharaja, a low, rasping call echoes through the canopy—neither frog nor owl, but something eerily in between. It belongs to the Sri Lanka Frogmouth (Batrachostomus moniliger), one of the most secretive birds ever to inhabit the island's forests. Its strange croak seems to rise from the mist itself — an ancient whisper from the treetops.

Denial of an ethnic problem: issue purely terrorism
Mahinda and Gotabaya's war marked a regression to a time before the 1987 Indo-Sri Lanka Accord, when the existence of an ethnic problem in Sri Lanka and the need for a political solution to it was routinely denied by Sinhala politicians. The country's ethnic conflict was reduced to a “terrorist issue”, and all Tamils were labeled terrorists. This was the justification for Black July - the anti-Tamil pogrom of July 1983, in response to the LTTE killing 13 soldiers in Jaffna, that ignited the Eelam War.

Wijetunga calls a general election and my first time in Parliament
I had several meetings with Ronnie at his home in Charles Drive and he agreed to join Wijetunga and the UNP since his \"bete noir\" Premadasa had left the scene. With Anura and Gamini on his side Wijetunga was trying to add to his winning streak by inducting Ronnie amid much appreciation from the party and the media as a unifier after the inter party conflicts which marked the earlier regime. He also recruited Rajitha Senaratne who had left Vijaya-Chandrika's Mahajana Party after it decided to ally itself with the revitalized SLFP, now virtually led by its former chief CBK.

The reality of daily events at Gaza from the eyes of a 13-year old
Every day, I see videos and photos from Gaza that linger in my head. Buildings that used to be joy-filled homes are now piles of wood and concrete, nothing stands in place to tell all the memories made. Streets are filled with dust and weeping families. I see children with blank faces standing in the middle of chaos, not knowing where to go or who's still alive, completely lost in the midst of a raging war.
