My dear grandma

I could never fully thank you for all that you did, all that you do and all the lovely things you taught me and our family. I would have to spend every moment of my life hugging you in order to do that. God has truly blessed our family with you, Grandma. You are so perfect in everything that you do. You love us unconditionally and for that we are grateful too. You are one in a million and we really mean it and everyone knows it. Our queen and one and only. You are always different and you never wanted to hide it. You are just amazing in everything you do. You wanted us to achieve and you were proud about it and your never giving up attitude motivated us a lot. We are very proud to say that we are your grand-children and people love to hear it. 

I can remember my mom and her siblings used to say that you did your best to raise them up, educate them and guide them towards the future they are having today. Because of your unconditional love and strength directed them to be better people and to guide us in the same way. I know that you sacrificed a lot in your life because of us and you wanted us to get the best in everything. I can say that all your dreams have come true. 

My thoughts on Halal Issue

Some people might think, I am crazy or may be some might disagree with my opinion, But I would like to share what I feel.

Halal Certificate is a validation done by ACJU to check is there any way that the food or the product has HARAM assortments (HARAM means strictly prohibited in Islam such as Lard, alcohol or any other related byproducts) and cleanliness. YES it is true this is only for Muslims but not for any other religion and also it is a valid point because of this 8% population why everyone else has to pay for this.

First of all, obtaining the Halal certificate is a voluntary initiation. If the company wants to get it, ACJU processes the application and follows the procedure. A monitory value is incurred in this process and it depends on the size of the business. For a small business and if that business has 1-5 products they only have to pay 500-700 per month (It means on average, (500+700)/2*12 = 7200 per annum). If it is a large multinational company and having more than 100 products to certify the amount is fixed.

All the promotions, leaflets and other campaigns are specially done to educate the Muslims and definitely rest has the total freedom to neither reject nor ignore these. Obviously if the companies do not want to obtain this certificate definitely the business will not report losses since the Muslim population is just approximately 8% of the total population.

Some people might think this amount might be a huge cost and can affect the profitability but for this the best example I can provide is, a Halal certified small businesses’ product and an established non-Halal multinational’s product’s pricing structure is similar. There is no significant variation on the product pricing and it is a very simple economic theory where the price increases the demand decreases. Therefore, if someone is arguing a business is reporting loss because of this Halal Certificate definitely the company’s management will think twice than the customer to remove the certificate or exit the business.

We all are the children of Mother Sri Lanka and I wonder why all of a sudden these conflicts arises and the ACJU certify these products since 1924 as an independent, non-political, non-governmental national religious institution in Sri Lanka and ACJU was incorporated by an Act of Parliament No. 51 of 2000, with a membership of over 3,000 Ulama.

Anyone can reject Halal products and they have total rights to do it since it’s not a must to consume Halal products for non-Muslims. But as Muslims we do not request alcohol, drugs or any other illegal products to certify. End of the day I wish Sri Lanka always to be a peaceful country with religious harmony.

One Evening

Dazzling rainbow rises in the sky

When the dark clouds are about to cry

Little Flowers are dancing to the wind

Because they know it’s the time to rain.

Tiny raindrops falling down

I feel like I’m in a fairy town

Birds are singing and flying far

Magical sprinkles everywhere.

It’s the time to croon louder

While having my yummy soup Chowder

Wildlife in Sri Lanka

Once an unchartered island connected by a mere thin strip of land to India, Sri Lanka was and continues to be known as one of the most interesting wildlife travel destinations in the world. It's no secret that this tropical island is home to a variety of amazing animals and plant life including an entire range of indigenous ones. From breathtaking birds to remarkable mammals, a number of species can be found seen when exploring certain parts of the island. Reptile and amphibian lovers too may find marshy areas of the wet zone to be ideal for spotting rarely seen snakes and lizards that call Sri Lanka home.

One of the most picturesque eco protected eco systems in South Asia, the Sinharaja Rain Forest is rich in bio diversity and facilitates life for many indigenous creatures. Boasting an endemism percentage which is well above 50%, this amazing rainforest is a treasured tourist attraction which is frequented by thousands of tourists each year.

Sri Lankan Cuisine

Sri Lankan cuisine is well diversified and mainly influenced by South India.
