striking  contrast

So all is not well at the club that is gym-khana.. Following our insight last week in this ole rag many a member of yore was heard grumbling that the club at one time the pride of colomboites is today a joke.  And the rumblings say that they throw stones only at trees laden with fruits. how true is this saying in the gymkhana context? To vote folks write to us wild asses at this ole rag.  Dear! Dear!

One of a kind

That dear ole boy Vaas certainly has a penchant for traversing the blue skies.  After having convinced the prez to sink six billion bucks no less in a budget airline that is anything but... the man now a main contender for the southern polls was flown at state expense down to Hiniduma.  Not that we folks are begrudging the man a chopper ride now and then - but the least he could have done was inform the Central College at Hiniduma before depositing his belly in their playground. Not stopping there he went to Galle way to meet with some saffron robed kind and distributed green backs to them for their support. Manners ! Manners Sir! 

miracles galore

But here's the Biiig miracle. Our brand new ministering angel of tourist kind is one smart alec. Doing away with small miracles he pulled a gem out of his hat. Scoffing at the 17.2 million smackers spent on the promo of the 'small miracle,' he challenged that the Biiiig miracle promo could be completed in a better way for less than a mere one thousand smackers! So, Mr. Prez square peg in a round hole ain't he? Make him Minister of Finance and we wont need IMF, ADB et al. Annual budget will be Rs. 120 thousand. One thousand for each Ministry! Smart eh?

Divide and rule

Talking of the Uva polls with Prince Shashi leading the ruling campaign, people are amazed at the Chief Exec's ability to divide and rule even within the family. So skillful is he, with complete plans for launching his royal offspring Na-mal for the big national contest next year, all other palace guards and princes have to compete at the lower levels. And that's exactly what young Shashi will now do, staying at the provincial level! After all he is only a bally cousin no?
