T HE NEXT HUMAN ? H uman being has been evolving since millions of years ago. Our very old ancestor was Homo habilis . When we consider the Charles Darwin’s tree of evolution, great habilis is at the bottom. Homo erectus is on top of that. Homo neanderthal and Homo sapiens are more or less like cousins of the family. But H. neanderthal couldn’t survive to the environment. What had happened to him? According to the Darwin, he couldn’t ad a pt to the changing environment. Perhaps there might have b e e n some kind of a virus which swept out the brother neanderthal from the family. However, sapiens could survive from all these difficulties and he could pass all the tests which Mother Nature had examined. There were always tests from the beginning of the evolution process.  “Not most intelligent species, also not the strongest species, but the most adaptable species can be survived.” Why I’m telling these….?? Perhaps this might be the ...

𝟮𝟭.𝟬𝟰.𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 A year ago that morning was just like any other day; Little did we know that it would end in disarray. A day no one wants to remember, but no one can forget; That Easter morning, humanity was under threat. A scene of the wretched mockery of human life under attack; Never fading, for there are those who can never come back. Unabashed cowardice plunged us into depths of despair, Wrong questions being asked, human trust it did impair. We offer our tears to lessen the pain and heal; Our own sweat to rebuild what we lost, strong as ever, forged in steel. Because a year ago, that morning was 𝘯𝘰𝘵 just like any other day.

‘The King of Pop’  While everybody is under confinement in the time of COVID-19 outbreak, I could recall that I came across the popular music hit, ‘Heal the World’ several times in a row during the week passed. Therefore, I thought of doing some research about the exclusive voice giving life to the lyrics of the song.  Nicknamed the ‘King of Pop’, Michael Joseph Jackson was a multi-talented musical entertainer of the 20th century. Known to and loved by the music-lovers of the whole world, he was a best-selling American singer, songwriter and dancer. Born to a family of 10 children, all who made marks in the music industry, Jackson and his siblings were always supported by their parents, mother-a homemaker and father-a guitarist who had given up his musical aspirations to provide for his family as a crane operator. Identifying the talents of his sons, Jackson’s father was never hesitating to mold them into a musical group in the early 1960s which later was known a...

But we're already sick of being at home all the time, we miss our friends and relatives specially during awrudu season.

A Crisis within a Crisis “The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic is so far having little impact on the global food supply chain, but that could change for the worse and soon if anxiety-driven panic by major food importers takes hold” Stated above is the statement which was published by world food programme (WFP) in their web page on Friday (3rd). It has somewhat profound meaning that we never even feel yet. We are in front of a tremendous global economic and financial crisis other than Covid -19 itself. Due to the prevailing situation, the future ahead of us is very uncertain. But one thing is definite that is the world will not be the same as it was. I’m pretty sure that covid-19 crisis will fade away gradually. But at the time, the world will be in a doorstep of bunch of problems. Economic, Geopolitics and Health issues are major consequences of Covid-19. Out of above issues global food crisis will be the most critical problem that we need to tackle in near future.

Life in NHS and Pandemic Due to this pandemic people have become more interest in what happening around the world may be even if it is many miles away. The sole reason is that everyone is bound by the same question even though the answer is different from one country to other. Europe is hot topic as after the China Italy, Spain and England hardly hit by the virus. Therefore, I would like to share some of my experiences in NHS. NHS is the world’s largest public funded health system. It is the world's third biggest employee after Walmart in America and Indian Railway. It says 1 out of every 6 people in UK somehow involve with NHS as a service provider or as a supplier. It is one of the most diverse place to work as people from all corners of the world come to join NHS. After world war II people have realize how important is the Health Service and as result of that NHS founded in 1948. NHS has been helping to Sri Lanka for many decades to train their consultants and regularly ...

    When the first Sri Lankan corona patient was identified on 11th March 2020, people panicked and started to collect food and all the necessary items as soon as possible. From that day onwards, day and night all the members in the family eagerly gathered around the TV and watched news on how many got infected and how many recovered each day. Not only that, I’m sure each and every person who is reading this might have surfed through internet to search on whether there are any vaccines, how many deaths reported worldwide etc .  I want to ask a big question from all of you. Are you really interested about this now as were before? My personal answer is no. In our home, on the first 3 weeks, we wore a mask even when we step out to a simple matter. We washed our hands more than 10 times using sanitizers, hand wash, Dettol and all other fancy products which kills 99% of germs in hands. Surprisingly, my sister also got panicked and introduced a disinfection procedure which ...
