Might be many a month before a Menike journeys passing Kadugannawa. Repair work is ongoing but at a pace that may see completion somewhere in 2027, possibly. Sense of urgency is in short supply. Monsoon is just weeks away.

🇱🇧 Lebanon has declared tomorrow a national day of mourning for the 254 victims killed in today’s horrific attacks across the country.

It shocks me how people can see pictures of our planet and not immediately hate borders
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

“In Palestine, in Easter, the churches stand
With crosses raised by faithful hands
On Easter, prayers rise through the pain
For peace, for home, for returning again”

This Easter confronts us with a painful truth: many Christians have turned away from the way of the cross. Instead of following the crucified Christ, they align with the empire that crucified him—seeking power and influence.

On Palm Sunday, as we commemorate the entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, we remember that the Christians of Palestine, the most ancient Christian community in the world, continue to be persecuted, harassed, killed, bombed, imprisoned and denied prayers at their holy sites by Israel for over 77 years:

Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”

Today, for the first time in centuries, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem was prevented from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, having been stopped and turned away by Israeli Police.

Something amazing happened in 🇱🇰 athletics today. Rumesh Tharanga threw 89.37m in the Javelin. This is the best performance by a 🇱🇰 athlete ever, in any event (pending ratification)
This would have been a medal in 19 out of 20 Global level championships, including all 7 Olympics.

Pap smear is a simple test used to screen for cervical cancer in women.
In Sri Lanka, women over 35 years can get a free Pap smear at the Well Woman Clinic in their MOH area.
Yet, despite being free, only about 18% of eligible women actually go for the test...
Showing how much more awareness & encouragement are needed.
Consulted Dr Diluk Senadheera yesterday (thanks to @dick0li rec) & learned that women should do pap smear at 35, again at 45. When I wanted to get one done before 40, I was told no need 👀 Finally did one yesterday, costs 10k at Lanka Hospital.
🔴PSA: Free at Family Health Bureau

And just like that... Iran has ended the Age of Dollar Imperialism.
So it begins. Indian oil tanker was allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz after paying for the oil in Chinese yuan.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading claim: the vessel is an LPG carrier, not a crude oil tanker. Its Hormuz passage came via India–Iran diplomacy in March 2026, not yuan payments; no evidence links Indian transit to currency deals. reuters.com/business/energ…
