Sri Lanka born Dulanitha represents Australia in Ultimate Frisbee – By Sajeewa Jayakody Dulanitha Mendis proudly displays her jersey while posing for a picture with her colleagues. Source  : dailynews “I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a country rich in culture and tradition. When I was just two years old, my family made the life-changing decision to move to Australia. We settled in Melbourne, where I grew up immersed in the vibrant blend of Sri Lankan customs and the Australian lifestyle,” Dulanitha shared. “Sports always fascinated me, but ultimate frisbee became my true passion. It combines soccer’s endurance, football’s aerial passing, and basketball’s continuous movement, emphasizing teamwork, strategy, and endurance,” she continued. Dulanitha’s ultimate frisbee journey began at John Monash Science School, where teacher Sarah Adolph introduced her to the sport. “From state tournaments to playing for Victoria and now for Terra, representing Australia is an incredible honour.

MasterChef – Savindri Perera Source : 10play.com.au Savindri Perera Age: 30 State: South Australia Occupation: Banking Consultant For Savindri Perera, or Sav as she is best known, working in a bank is a means to an end. Where she comes alive is in the kitchen, working to recreate the Sri Lankan flavours of her mother’s kitchen. Born in Colombo where she lived until moving to Adelaide aged 18, food permeates Sav’s childhood memories, growing up with older sister Chethanee, her late Mum Chandrika and Dad Chethiya. Citing her beloved mum as her food hero, Chandrika was an exceptional cook, and the family lived within a culture that valued both the act of cooking and eating together. Memories of eating from roadside stalls with cousins or unforgettable crab curry Sunday lunches are just part of what forms Sav’s “family food map”. The loss of her vivacious mother in 2017 left a void ...

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS AFTER ROGERS: 1845 – 1995 – By Ranil Bibile The villagers cower in fear in the darkness of their mud and wattle huts. The slightest sound outside their walls makes them quake. They have seen too many people killed by the towering terror that smashes through the flimsy walls of their huts, to trample men, women and children into pulp. The flickering light of the chulu* and the bottle-lamp are useless. The electric torch only further enrages and provokes the monstrous creatures. Firecrackers no longer frighten them. Eking out an existence is almost impossible. The crops are devastated by the marauders. Whether one survives the night or not depends on one’s karma*. It is akin to a game of Russian Roulette. We are just a few hundred metres from the village, lost and apprehensive in the midst of all this terror. Locked inside our vehicle ...

A time to ponder; a time for change? – By Aubrey Joachim More than at any time in the past those in whose hands lies the power to choose their leaders will also decide their own futures and that of their children – Pic by Shehan Gunasekara    Source : ft There has never been as important a period in the history of Sri Lanka as will be the next few months. The country is still reeling under the financial and economic battering of two years ago. As per the latest statistics the country’s debt burden has ticked over the $ 100 billion mark – including the backlog of interest. Meanwhile, a deceptive sense of calm and even spots of prosperity – for some – seem to prevail on the surface disguising strong undercurrents of turmoil.  This turmoil is more than just a single facet. One could debate which of them ...
