This song used to make me cry for the longest time "Far Away" This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you I have loved y...
a girl is, as you put it, 'easy', then why would you take advantage of that? It's almost an emotional state... probably the result of being treated like crap in a previous relationship. End of rant! I agree that men should not take advantage and yet they do .... think about it this way .... if I am...
This country is truly in my blood. Colombo is divine! From the 2 lane Galle Road, Colombo's equivalent to SZR to its secret treasures like Barefoot (art gallery, bookstore, cafe in one) and The Library (the library by day, nightclub by night) Colombo has no equivalent. A most intoxicating mix of mos...

Funny about your story Noni ... I had a similar experience. I was very close to my grandfather and when he passed away I was quite distraught. He lived with me for 3 years. I was laying in bed in the afternoon 10 days after his funeral, reading and I heard his footsteps in the corridor. I recognised...
I've had the most horrendous weekend. I've had to catch 4 different flights and all of them have been delayed. I thought perhaps it was just an Emirates thing, but then this morning my 15 minute Gulf Air flight from Bahrain to Dammam was also delayed and we ended up sitting around on the tarmac for ...
The Girls from Overseas This is a good read. Its an interesting look into the lives of 5 foreigners married to Indians and living in Dhera Dhun. Some lovely visual discriptions and an entertaining yet sobering insight into the dilemmas faced by Westerners who try, with various levels of success, to...

Hilton ... the views are great ... but personally i prefer Transasia .... gorgeous pool side, The Library is great and the ambience is a lot more casual
