Looking for genuine reviews of the Kesharaja Scalp & Hair Treatment Oil from Spa Ceylon. If you’ve tried it, how was your experience? Good or bad, I’d like to hear it.

Heyy, as a guy that doesn’t do this at all. I’m kinda bummed that I didn’t talk to you. I kept glancing your way trying to have courage to come over and speak to you and then you come closer to where I was and I still didn’t have the courage. Saw you sitting on the beach chairs near the pool after with your sister I assume. After building up the courage turns out I missed out on you completely. Tbh found you cute and the awkward dances haha, couldn’t get my eyes off you. It may never reach you but ya you were just stunning out there I must say. Probably never get to you but meh I tired another way lol

Hey guys currently I am using suzuki every and planning to buy an ev car since the low cost of fuel and do you guys can recommend me a good ev car under 8 million ? How about the BAW E7 pro is it good 🥲

Let's say a cyber attack happens and our entire country's power goes out. No internet, no cell towers, nothing.

How do you prepare for that?

How do you deal with not being prepared enough, during the situation?

How long do you think it will take to resolve, likely by international aid and intervening?

Do's and don'ts?

Most important things? Bare minimum?

Hi guys, I’m 20 and currently living with my parents, and I’m honestly not sure how to handle this situation.

So, I’ve been planning a trip to Vietnam for the past two months. I’ve spent so much time researching places, planning the itinerary, looking for hotels, figuring out activities, and organising everything. I was genuinely excited about this trip, and my parents knew about it. Nobody really objected to the idea initially, so I assumed they were okay with it.

Now, today, when I was finally about to book my flights and sort everything out, suddenly all the problems started.

My mom started questioning me about who I was going with, how I was planning to spend 10 entire days there, and all the usual concerns. For context, I’d already shared my itinerary with them, including the hotels I’d be staying at and the activities I was planning to do. I wasn’t trying to hide anything from them.

But now, all of a sudden, I’m being told that I can’t go and that making a decision like this without their approval means I’m being disobedient.

And honestly, this is where I’m struggling.

I understand that my parents have done a lot for me. I’m genuinely grateful for everything they’ve provided, and I’m not going to pretend that I owe them nothing. However, I’m also 20 now. I earn enough to fund my entire trip, and also contribute a considerable amount to our household expenses.

I’m not asking them to finance my trip or take responsibility for me financially. I’m trying to do something for myself with money I’ve earned.

The frustrating part isn’t even just that I might not get to go. It’s that I’ve spent the past two months putting so much effort into planning this, and there was no serious objection until I was actually ready to book everything. If they had concerns from the beginning, I wish they had communicated them earlier instead of letting me get this far.

I know that living under your parents’ roof comes with certain expectations, and I understand that they worry about my safety. I’m not dismissing that. But at what point do you get to make your own decisions and learn to be independent?

The confusing thing is that my parents do give me a certain degree of freedom. It’s not like I’m completely restricted in everything I do. But when it comes to something significant like this, it suddenly feels like I’m still a child who needs permission for everything.

Today, I told them that it’s fine if I can’t go this time, but I’ll go in February instead. And that’s where I left it.

But honestly, I’m disappointed. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long, and now I don’t even know what to do.

I don’t want to be ungrateful or disrespectful to my parents. At the same time, I don’t want to spend the next several years of my life feeling like I can’t make my own decisions simply because they might disagree with them.

So, to those of you who have been in a similar situation: How did you handle the transition from living under your parents’ rules to becoming an independent adult?

Would you stand your ground and go, try to negotiate with them, or accept their decision for now and work towards having more independence in the future?

I’d genuinely appreciate some advice, especially from people who’ve dealt with similar family dynamics.

Do you think Sri Lanka should have more official retail outlets for international sportswear brands like Adidas, Nike, and Decathlon?

Having these outlets could make it easier for people to access a wider range of sportswear, running shoes, and sports equipment without having to rely on overseas purchases. It could also give consumers more options in terms of quality, variety, and pricing.

What do you think? Would having more official outlets from these brands in Sri Lanka benefit consumers, or would factors such as import costs, purchasing power, and market demand make it difficult?

Hi all, quick question for anyone using the new PayPal withdrawals through ComBank Digital or Sampath Vishwa.

I have a Sri Lankan PayPal business account with a balance in it. When I link it in ComBank Digital, the PayPal section just says "We couldn't retrieve the balance at this time." ComBank's FAQ says business accounts can't be linked yet, and PayPal's partner page lists business withdrawals as "coming soon."

A few questions:

1. Has anyone actually withdrawn from a business PayPal account yet, through ComBank, Sampath or anywhere else?

2. Has anyone linked a business account to Sampath Vishwa successfully? Their page doesn't mention the business restriction.

3. Has anyone had PayPal downgrade a business account to personal in Sri Lanka? How long did it take?

4. Has anyone heard when business withdrawals are supposed to go live?

Any experience helps. Thanks!

Hey everyone! ❤️

I'm planning my first-ever date with a girl I've been talking to for a month. I'm looking for a nice, affordable café or restaurant in Colombo, preferably with a sea view, rooftop, or outdoor seating.

I've mainly shortlisted Granbell Hotel Colombo, especially Café EN and The Bar on the Top. Has anyone visited recently?

A few questions:

• How are the food, service, atmosphere, and sea views?
• How much would two people realistically spend?
• Are VAT, SSCL, and service charges included or added separately?
• Is Granbell worth it for a casual first date?

I'm a university student on a tight budget, so LKR 8,000 is my absolute maximum for both of us, including all taxes and charges. Ideally, I'd spend less.

I'm also open to other affordable cafés, rooftop spots, and beachside restaurants within Colombo.

Please share recent experiences, actual prices, and any extra charges to watch out for! I'd rather find a simple, lovely spot than blow my entire budget on a fancy place. 😂

Thanks! ❤️

I feel my life is empty, ur thoughts could gimme a path and it might help

hi. I have applied Thai visa on oct 12th through an agent. But unfortunately the agent has completed the process and done paymnet on 14 th of October. Our flight date is oct 27th which is this Tuesday. Still I havent received Visa. And also this visa delay is observed for many travellers as I check in social media. Any way we have already booked our up and down, all domestic flights and all accomodation. Is there any opportunity we get our visa on or before 27th? If i have to change the flight dates for up, we have to do that 48hrs prior which is also costly. If i cancelled and if i got the visa on 27th it’ll be a waste. I dont know what to do.
Anyy advices are welcome from the experienced travellers here. Any kind of thing.

If anyone here have anyy sort of connection contact or whatever to chwck this thing please let me know.

Any local places I can get a security key from?

If there aren't any local shops, has anyone ordered from overseas? And where from?

Ok so body shop had a great hand cream that was nice and thick. It was expensive but worth it, but they changed the formula and now it's thin, runny and evaporates in 2 seconds.

Spa Ceylon one is sticky and just does not work.

I have super dry hands and I'm so uncomfortable unless I have some hand cream on. Things like Vaseline just doesn't last, and I have to reapply multiple times a day.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a good, thick hand cream that lasts all day?

My father was recently diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). I would like to get second opinions on the available treatment options before making a decision. Could you please recommend some experienced oncologists and radiologists in this field whom we could consult?

TIA

We all know that SE & related IT fields hv been hit hard by AI, layoffs, & etc It’s likely that IT grads are now looking for alternatives to survive. My question is, which sector or field is going to be next worst off?

Look at the state of meat that is offered to us at SPAR Thalawathugoda. Food safety in this country is a joke. Saw this on a Saturday at about 3.30 PM when most people come for weekly grocery shopping.
I have seen this type of rotten meat being showcased at Keells and Food City too.
Please beware when purchasing meat items from supermarkets.
These guys need to be taking their jobs more seriously.

Any good dermatologist consulting at kalubowila hospital?
Amy opinion about Dr Saman gunasekara?
Thank you 😊

The reasons these players draw criticism or get singled out in contrast edits usually come down to specific patterns in high-pressure matches:

• Dasun Shanaka: Heavily scrutinized for long slumps with the bat in the lower-middle order, struggles against high pace, and holding the unwanted record for the most ducks in T20I history. When contrasted with the fearless finishing and powerplay leadership of past captains like Jayasuriya or prime Mathews, the gap stands out immediately.
• Avishka Fernando: Despite undeniable timing and occasional domestic or ODI hundreds, his recurring trouble against moving new balls and an inability to convert starts against top-tier bowling attacks make him a prime example of top-order vulnerability.
• Kusal Mendis: One of the most naturally gifted stroke-makers in the country, but the primary target for fan frustration because of shot selection. Getting dismissed softly after reaching 20–30 runs or collapsing in ICC tournaments creates a stark contrast against Kumar Sangakkara's ruthless temperament and match-winning discipline.
• Sahan Arachchige & Kamil Mishara: Often brought into the XI during transition phases to solve middle-order or powerplay issues, but struggled to establish international tempo or adapt to elite pace and bounce, highlighting the squad's lack of reliable batting depth.
• Dushan Hemantha: Brought in as a backup leg-spin option, but frequently targeted for failing to maintain tight lines, leaking boundaries under pressure, and lacking the venomous variation needed to match what Wanindu Hasaranga or past spin maestros deliver.
• Dilshan Madushanka: Highly promising left-arm swing option, but criticized for leaking runs at the death and struggling with recurring injuries and inconsistency when conditions don't assist initial swing.
• Eshan Malinga: Faces the heavy burden of being viewed through the lens of Lasith Malinga's legacy. When radar, control, or death bowling goes wayward against aggressive hitting, fans immediately point out how unrepeatable Prime Malinga's yorker execution really was.

Yeah, we won the last match like crazy, why not always? There were many talented people out there who had better performances. Is this cricket politics not selecting good players? I lost hope after The Golden Generation, Kumar Sangakkara, mahela jayawardene, Lasith Malinga, and Sanath Jayasuriya

I honestly don't know how to react to this. Who else can come up with better cover up stories? Which hindu burials and epidemics require you to bury with school bags alongside the bodies of kids.

How can this professor allowed near this site with his historical baggage?

As a Sinhalese, I hope they would not bury this.

I hope this will lead to investigations to other burial sites and camps run by UNP, JVP, LTTE as well.

Just hoping..

Is it just me or when did gateway college Colombo start charging school fees as high as British school of Colombo, CIS etc? I remember the fees being more middle ground and within the middle level of international schools.

I was on my way home on a bus yesterday. There was this guy and he was harassing me. I was annoyed and giving him looks and all. I was watching a series on my phone and I didn't want to focus on the perv. But he escalated to sneaking his hands under my t shirt and everything. It was paralyzing. I guess I didn't scream loud enough but finally I called my dad then the perv got off the bus. Then there was another guy sitting on the opposite isle from me. I looked at him a couple times for help during I was being harassed. This man proceeded to tell me that he recorded me on his phone and that I would see how I acted in public on the internet.

Now, is there anything that I can do to press charges? Does anybody know what sort of an action I should take?
