'Voices of Peace', a book by Sarah Kabir, brings together stories gathered through extensive conversations over two years, of Sri Lankan military personnel and former LTTE cadres. A few interesting points raised by speakers at the launch: #lka #SriLanka

After the September 11 attacks in the US, Congress held hearings and questioned the heads of intelligence and many others of the defense establishment. These hearings were broadcasted live to the entire country. We the Sri Lankan public should demand something similar!

Can we please be careful about spreading names & pictures of people in clearly what is a time of incredible fake news. Sharing photographs that arent verified (not that the state is doing its due diligence) could lead to witch hunts & personal score-settling #lka #EasterAttackLK

I plan to join others in responding to the call below and making constructive suggestions , especially relating to item 4 of the Board of Inquiry's mandate. Do consider sending your productive suggestions and recommendations too

Saw a trishaw going in the opposite direction on Galle road, I guess things are getting back to normal.

Glad to see over a thousand fellow citizens stand in solidarity in Colombo today #srilanka #EasterAttacksLK

From being ogled at to now being seen with full suspicion. This feels like an upgrade? #cmbstreets #dynamicsoffear #harassment

Staggered by the realisation that at least for the foreseeable future, Sri Lanka will be cleaved into before and after the Easter bombings.

Rest in power, Dr Malathi de Alwis. What a loss. Malathi's work on memory and nationalism are vital to understanding aspects of Sri Lanka as it is today.

BUT THE RAILROADS

One of my dear teachers from Middle and High school just passed away. Mr. Siva Lokanathan wasn’t just a superb educator, but also a most generous gentleman who knew he was doing god’s work helping generations of young men find their paths in life. Please say a prayer for him.

Dr. Nadeera Rupesinghe did something unexpected yesterday. To a packed room full of historians and other researchers, she formally apologized for the inaccessibility of the Sri Lanka National Archives, in her capacity as its Director-General. Sri Lanka National Archives #lkahistory
