In a car park in the Thai capital Bangkok, green shoots sprout from the roofs of colourful taxis. Thailand's tough Covid-19 restrictions have left the city's hectic streets quiet, putting taxi drivers out of work. As fares dried up, many drivers left the city for their home villages, leaving so-called taxi graveyards behind. Now, one company has decided to use the roofs of the idle vehicles as small vegetable plots, which they hope can help to feed out-of-work drivers and other employees. ... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 18/09/21)

In the modern history of Sri Lanka no one stands taller than Anagarika Dharmapala.

It may look unfashionable or even indecent to write about Anagarika Dharmapala (1864-1933) in these days of ‘reconciliation’ politics. But that is due to the deliberate distortion of facts by vested interests. So I beg my readers’ indulgence. The Anagarika has been consistently misrepresented by antinationalists as a Sinhala supremacist, a Buddhist fanatic, and a propagator of violent nationalism. But the truth was otherwise; he was none of these.
