A trip to Anuradhapura kept me occupied over the weekend. This time we missed our usual gang by three members though, we had our times together for a long time to remember. Enjoy the few pics I took long our way.




It was all new different landscape this time than I previously remember. The torrential rain had virtually turn the semi-savanna lands into lush green meadows and swamps.



The Mihinthala view was astounding. The air was so clear.



Locals say all the tanks and reservoirs were full upto this level after five long years.



Everyone was having their feast.



Usual back-lit Ruwanweli Seya with it’s former glory.

And finally my guys really had trouble with keeping the Mihinthala Rock in place.

I don't know form where on earth this fellow landed on my lawn.

Last Friday evening when I got home after the work my neighbours little ones were chasing this goose (or duck) with excitement. Neither they nor me could figure out how it had gotten here.

The fellow didn't seem to much bothered by the human sight. I know  they can rarely be seen in the Diyawanna Oya near parliament Site area two miles away from here. I am not sure whether they can fly this distance. Still wonder how it had travelled so far unharmed.

It seemed lost or attacked by a cat or a dog may be. And on the top of it children were harassing him with their curiosity. Asking little ones to spare him alone I took this shot and went in to get changed.

When I was back within a few minutes it had disappeared to nowhere and the little ones were asking each other "ko ko ko eya ne. Kohatada giye?"

Sweet, Goodbye, fly away safe you little lost duck.

We have born somewhere in this universe, in a frozen moment of time and Astrology says the moment can say everything about you.

Sounds wierd but remarkable. Truly I don't know how is this energies of the universe which science hasn't fully explored or discovered yet jot down the itinerary of your life literally at the time of your birth. The past and the future and the present. Heavy stuff.

I haven't given it a much thought though what do you think when these stars spell out your name?

I have had seen more than one occasion that proved me the astrology can be true. I do not know the science, the logic or the possibility behind this. But it seems a logical, pure sceince and math game which gives the resemblances of your profile, past present and the future, sometimes with precise details.

Given that you catch a Astrologer whos is genuine and knows the subject inside out. Sadly those are an endangered species. So my friend says, Astrology is like a torch, you don't have to follow it, but if you are going in the dark, isn't it better to have a light so you can see the road ahead a little more clearer? Well I guess he has a point. It sure is

Casually put how on earth you feel when you raise your finger tip up in the air those many a thousand cellular waves, TV/ satellite channels or radio signals go across your finger without making any sense to you. So what I figured was these energies are there for sure but unless you have the right senses (trained minds) you can never tune into these superficial senses. It is there only to be sense by a forth, fifth or sixth or some other diamention which we cannot have.

The Buddha's teaching says if you train your brain to be enlighten or "Rahath" “Maarga Pala” may be one day, you could see it all. The senses which normal humans do not possess. Then you'll start to see the energies of the universe, how they travel distances and how it controls/ effects the matter.

May be Buddhism has all the answers, science over the time may reveal some but as the human kind we will never be omniscient to know it all during our existence.
