Creatures of the Night














So I'm strolling home when I'm confronted by these strange things proceeding across a telephone line. I tried to get a good snap, and my phone showed an excellent picture of one of them silhouetted perfectly against the sky, but it actually snaps what comes a second afterward...sigh.

These are apparently pretty common, but I haven't seen them before. I've seen bats, but not these. However I don't think its time to open an X-file just yet...

Obama Hotel in Gampola



Well, what more can i say? Tucked away in a far distant town in the Hill Country....It was a pity the place was closed when we were there. Would have been great to check out the menu..? lol

Look for that Green Light..

After a late night out, the only oasis you could come across is a small “Night Kade” which would surely assure you a cigarette, plain tea and some instantly cooked street food. This is not about the obvious Hijra, Pilla, Billal or any other the popular night shop, its about those small shops or boutiques which stand in unfamiliar semi-urban landscapes catering to small groups of people ? Well, as you may have already realized, Look for the Green Light!, just observed several of those shops and the similar attribute was the large, green fluorescent light which stands out as a guiding beacon for those tired travelers who are in search of a refuge to rest in.


Disclaimer: not all places have Green Lights but most of them do (99%) because just yesterday i went passed one with only red lights
