Welcome
I guess its a custom to start a blog of with an introduction about onself, or in my case myself -- But if you are reading this I would guess that you would have a greater idea about myself than what I would. I have no intention of explaining the unexplainable or try to cover the uncoverable (Or should be uncover the unfathomable). One thing I will say is that I straightways am sorry for any bad grammar or spelling, but it seems to be increasingly prevelant in how I write. Thus saying, I will be taking my time and thought in writing - as not doing so would show total disregard to the reader. One thing I have noticed is that people judge your level of english as your intellengence, which, though mine being of a poor quality, I don't mind because I suprise people even when I seemingly struggle to speak two words of english together. I'll generally post in English, though I'll post some articles in Sinhala and Tamil depending on the situation. Some people think I do it out of arrogance, maybe - but the actual reason is to hide what I want to say from those that I wish to remain unknowing. As it bugs me when people start in one language and finish in another, or mix it all the way through, I will try my best not to that. So what will this blog be about? And what is the Siyabala Express? Well Siyabala is the Sinhala word for Tamarind, which is a sweet and sour citrus-tasting-like fruit. An Express, in this case is a train that runs from one destination to another. Life has a beginning and ending, and it doesn't stop - and its sweet but sour. The fact I choose Sinhala and not Tamil is ironic -- It doesn't gloss well because there are two letter "l"s in Tamil, which is hard to describe in English. puLi = tamarind, puli = tiger - so a blog called the Tiger Express may give people the wrong ideas. But Yeah, its a blog that resembles somewhat my life. And without giving away my first post - I'll finish the introduction here.
