On Buzz with Danu today, we’re celebrating a brand that feels deeply Sri Lankan not just in fabric, but in spirit. Common Folk is not just about handloom. It’s about heritage, innovation, and keeping the true essence of Lanka alive while pushing it confidently into the future. In a world where fast fashion moves quickly and traditions fade quietly, this brand has chosen to do something brave protect our craft, honour our artisans, and still make
Sunlight settles in deliberate squares across the floor. Iced lattes bead with condensation. Someone leans forward to adjust the angle of a croissant before taking a photograph. At one table, a group debates the recent cricket match with the seriousness of policy analysts. At another, a bride-to-be scrolls through wedding hashtags, testing how they look in lowercase.
This week isn’t about light drama or internet nonsense. It’s about power. The kind that drops bombs and redraws borders. The kind that wears a cricket jersey and asks for patience. From global leaders being eliminated in airstrikes to our own cricket system asking fans not to lose faith, the theme is the same: accountability hits differently depending on who’s holding it. Let’s get into it.
If you have been in the fitness space for over a prolonged period of time without realizing it, fitness stops being something we do and starts becoming who we are.
House moving is a very important activity, as it determines the prospects and aspirations of the occupants. This is influenced by the kind of energy they bring with them during the relocation, as well as by the fact that the space itself exerts an influence.
We are trekking in the Knuckles Mountains of Sri Lanka, and on a small, unmade mountain track some 2,000 feet above sea level. The road leads to a tea estate and some basic houses. We are joined by a village dog who acts as a guide for the rest of the day. How we pay him is unclear. On the track, a cricket match is going on between a bunch of local Tamil boys.
For the first time in Sri Lankan theatre history, a West End smash hit is coming to our stage and trust me, this is not just another show… this is a cultural moment. Today on Buzz with Danu, I sit down with Dilip Mudadeniya. A man who believes that Colombo deserves the world… and the world deserves Colombo.
Ageing in most Sri Lankan families reveals itself through small routines rather than big conversations. A new tablet appears beside the morning tea. A clinic visit is pencilled into the week. Someone asks about blood pressure, someone else about sugar levels. Gradually, the body becomes the centre of attention. What receives far less discussion is the emotional experience of growing older.
What if I told you that the place many of us go to become healthier, to stay fit, and to become strong can also quietly harm our mental health?
There’s something undeniably special about the bond between women and dogs. Beyond wagging tails and loyal eyes, dogs become steady companions offering protection, comfort, and quiet strength. For many women, a dog is not just a pet but a source of reassurance in a fast-moving, often overwhelming world.
Koneswaram was one of those mornings where I didn’t go with a plan; I just went with the intention to breathe. And honestly, that’s the first thin
So let me start by saying this: when you’re a Jaffna Tamil, walking into Cinnamon Grand Colombo for something called The Jaffna Table comes with exp
Let me tell you something. Some places don’t just welcome you… They emotionally adopt you. That was my weekend at Uppuveli Beach by DSK.
