Ramoshan Canagasaby’s saga is a tale of tears, turbulence, travails, troubles, and triumph, traversing through Jaffna, Moratuwa, Chennai and now in California. Born in Colombo, Ramoshan had his early education at Hindu College, Bambalapitiya. His father was attached to the Ceylon

An unlikely destiny but a very happy karma caused my American mother and North Indian father to make Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) their home shortly after their marriage in the USA. My parents regarded Sri Lanka as the home of their hearts, if not that of their birth. At the age of 23, my highly qualified mother found herself the Principal of Visakha Vidyalaya, probably the youngest Principal EVER to head a school in Sri Lanka.

For the longest time, to me, BBQ was just marinated, grilled meat with some salad on the side at a cousin’s birthday. Don’t get me wrong, those BBQ meals were amazing. But I didn’t know what BBQ was supposed to taste like until I tried real BBQ.

For a species that once wrapped itself in loincloths and called it a day, men have come a long way in fashion. Or have they? In 2025, we’re living in a world where men’s closets are bigger, sneaker collections are sacred, and grooming kits have their own PR reps. Yet, a few persistent myths still shape how men dress—and not always in the most liberating ways. This month of inclusivity, I wanted to discuss gender and what not directly. Let’s pop t

This week served up frothy freedom, secondhand embarrassment, and one very soggy reminder that safety still isn’t a national priority. A man in Assam celebrates his divorce by bathing in milk. Trump butchers two diplomatic letters in one go, managing to both misgender and misspell world leaders (including ours).
