– An ode to a certain ape
What Martial Art is teaching me about Dance – a completely unscientific perspective
This is March 2023, I first set foot in a dance studio to try partner dancing 18 years, ago as a 19 year old. The first 4 years it was on and off due to uni and being new to the workforce, but it has now been 13 years since I went in deep, almost […]

A note on Sri Lanka
July 15, 2022
As I look back from afar, glued to the TV every day, I can’t but feel the pain of helplessness, the guilt of not being there suffering with my school friends and relatives, and hope and pride about the tenacity of my people. A reminder that the lion of the lion flag, the battle flag […]

Cheesy gnocchi flat bread
May 10, 2020
This was a collaboration, and I believe another successful lockdown experiment. We had left over gnocchi dough from dinner the night before but were too lazy to make gnocchi again. So we did this, using mostly supermarket procured, cheap, bulk and canned food. There are two parts to this: the bread and the sauce. First […]

Cheesy Sri Lankan style fish filled roti
April 17, 2020
Depending on your perspective on life, this could be a cheesy roti filled with fish, or a cheesy fish empanada, or both, or neither. Either way, it’s a fishy variation of the coconut roti I made for breakfast a while ago. Except replace the filling, and replace the coconut with cheese. Again, a breakfast food, […]

Sri Lankan village style potato stuffed coconut roti (Pol roti)
April 17, 2020
I made this vegan beauty the other day, taking just under an hour, for breakfast. It was a work day, but I suppose that’s a positive about working from home. I’ve been craving this for a while, ever since my Sri Lanka trip in July 2019. I went back for my brother’s wedding, but dragged […]

Reflections on my Annual Zouk Holiday
February 13, 2020
Now that my brain has had some time to process things, it’s time to reflect on my thoughts about this last weekend, and also about a related milestone. Life is busy, expensive, and has many competing priorities. Having a hobby invariably adds to this mess, but it is good to have one nevertheless. Whatever this […]

2019, A year (and decade) in review
December 30, 2019
And here we are again… It has been a long time since I did one of these reviews every year; it has been a long time since I blogged regularly full stop. But hey, it’s the end of a decade, so I think it’s worth a few hours of my time to sit and reflect. […]

My thoughts on MJ…
March 14, 2019
I like his music and dance, always did and most likely always will. I like the music for the messages they tell, the beat boxing, the complexity, and how they really make you visualise a story. His dancing is genre defining. I didn’t know him personally, just through the music and (factual and false) information […]

Basics, Beginners and Dancing Bliss
October 10, 2016
You may have heard from your dance instructor at some point that it’s good to go back to basics once in a while. They may have tried to instill the importance of perfecting fundamental techniques, and encouraged you to focus more on connection and ‘basic moves’, and less on complex, extravagant moves that might cause […]

Sri Lankan Cashew Curry (My Style)
April 1, 2016
Okay, so A. I haven’t blogged on my own blog in a while and B. enough people have tried, liked and want to know how I make my cashew curry. Therefore maybe it is time I shared it. Its quite easy, even if preparing cashews is a bit time consuming. However,this wait will be vindicated […]

The Ape
Okay...I am horrible at describing myself, and doubt my friends will either, atleast not very effectively. For reasons unknown, ladies and gentlemen, I cannot blow my own trumpet. And given that this blog mostly contains random ramblings and only occasionally an article disecting a serious issue, most probably the trumpet need not be blown.
