Police are still baffled by the recent escalation in crime in Pelawatte. Just last Saturday, the 29th of November this correspondent had gotten up earlier than usual, 3.30 a.m. to be precise. While pondering on what she could possibly do that early in the morning she heard a huge thud. Frightened out of her wits she immediately looked her room door. Fearful that thieves could have broken into the house. Later she learnt that thieves had in fact broken the window of a neighbor’s car, and stolen the entire audio setup system in that vehicle. Further inquires reveled that several other vehicles too had been attacked in a similar manner.
One car’s entire dashboard had been ripped apart in the attempt to remove the stereo system.
Police had fingerprinted the vehicles and even used sniffer dogs…the suspects are believed to be still at large.

Manju celebrates 21 years
It was an awesome get together. Four old friends meetingup after a long time apart. One had finished her A/L's, another her O/L's, the next on her summer vacations frm Uni and the last had returned recently from working in Dubai.
My sis, Manju, Sharon and I enjoyed our time chatting, later we went out to KFC, half way through the heat got the better of us and we stopped at Manju's Aunt's place for water. Returning back Zara joined us for lunch. What this day was memorable for was the news I heard. Zara is getting engaged later this month, Sharon will be officialy getting engaged next year and I'll be in time for both. So happy. ~urs truly.

Of traffic, tiring journeys and tempers
Today, this writer experienced first hand a few of the hard ships undergone by Lankans daily, while commuting. Its not only bad that locals have to wait hours for buses, then wait hours for the buses to leave the stands. They have to face frequents check points, impatient bus drivers, horrible traffic congestions, incessant polltion now its made even worse by constant road blocks when parliament is in session.
This of course causes tempers to flare and can turn even the mildest man into a hardened cynic. It is expected that this "discomfort" will continue untill the war is over (and when will THAT ever be???????)
