		<title>EXPOSE: Why Mahela REALLY gave up the captaincy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I'm sitting in at Talk Leadership: Colours of Courage (11 June 2010) and Mahela Jayawardene is speaking. Pre-empting the question, he promises to reveal to the audience why he really quit the captaincy.

I'm paraphrasing here, so don't sue me:

		<title>The human voice &amp; the power of personal publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of choral music. Not being able to carry a tune in a bucket, I always admired how people could create such powerful art with their voices. Then again, being somewhat a philistine, perhaps I&#8217;m just miscategorising some of my favourite music. Mainly, my favourites have been the likes of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Those wobbly first steps&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So there&#8217;s this little segment on radio called &#8220;The first step&#8221; or something of that sort. It involves a particular phrase being said in all three main Sri Lankan languages &#8211; Sinhala, Tamil and English. It&#8217;s a good thing certainly and most of the phrases are likely to come in handy. Except that since I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have noticed the lack of unstructured Sinhala poems (Nisadas) on this blog; I used to work at Vesess. Prabhath (the uber-designer) blogged at Nidahas. Venushka (the uber-coder) blogged at Adahas. I wanted to blog as well &#8211; lack of talent notwithstanding &#8211; and tried to come up with a name [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dear Dulan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year you&#8217;re sixteen and you&#8217;ve only just got on the internet. Some chap from a Bradby playing school (where at some charity walk you will win the voucher to get you internet access) has tagged me to write to you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wimmulder/ / CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 No of course not, that link doesn&#8217;t work &#8216;cos [...]]]></description>

		<title>The worm&#8217;s eye view &#8211; Muhammed Yunus and Grameen Bank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had the opportunity to read Banker to the Poor - the story of the Grameen Bank by Muhammed Yunus. While you can easily find out the story of Grameen at its Wikipedia page, there are some points of interest in the book that don't make it into Wikipedia.]]></description>

		<title>And this is why I should buy a diesel vehicle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Passing along the highlevel road, I thanked my stars that the tank was full. Although, I might&#8217;ve just as well been better off with a diesel vehicle&#8230; The vehicles belonging to these good people were probably the same ones parked along the road right upto Police Park. Clearly, LIOC was doing better off than these [...]]]></description>

		<title>WordPress.com goes mobile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not long after my serendipitous discovery of MobilePress, I wondered how cool it would be if all the WordPress.com blogs that I visit via Achcharu/Kottu were more mobile friendly. Especially since I spend more time reading up on the blogs via mobile browser. Turns out that WordPress.com has taken a move in the right direction. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steel toed, high heeled, dancing shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fairly sure there must be some kind of demand for these things. With a heel of variable height, straps to hold the shoes in place and other features depending on the lady&#8217;s taste and enough protection to ensure that those delicate toes are well protected. It&#8217;s either that, or there&#8217;s gonna forever be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pot calling the Kettle Black</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I really shouldn&#8217;t get hung up over this, but it just beggars belief. See my post on how Daily Mirror has no clue about copyright, or even the Creative Commons licensing terms. Now read what they have to say about the PTI allegedly copying their stuff: The Colombo based reporter for the Press [...]]]></description>
