    demographic dividend - rage rage burning bright.

  2. The Sinhala language also (see last post) used to contain more Pāli words, but has drifted back in the direction of Sanskrit, which is intimately tied to Hinduism, because Sanskrit is viewed as a prestigious language. For example, Sinhala says vidarśanā instead of vipassanā.

  8. [Sigihiri Graffito no. 193; 8th century; yāgī metre]

    රකවාණැ නාල් ගී
    පිරිමි බැණැ ලත තමහට රවල බැලු දික්නෙත්

    ගලකළළතිරිබැව් බෙයන්දහි රන්වනුන් දන්නෙය්

    Rakavāṇæ Nāl gī:
    Pirimi bæṇæ lata tamahaṭa rava-la bælu dik-net
    Gala-kaḷa-ḷa-tiri-bæv beyanda-hi ran-vanun danney

    "The song of Rakavāṇæ Nāl:

    When to her
    men
    speak out


    scowling out
    the long-eyed one
    looked at them.

    It should be known that
    the golden-coloured ones
    on the mountain-side
    have the condition of
    women with hearts
    made of stone."

  10. CW: painted nudity; heights (acrophobia)

    repeated old post:

    Sigiriya, the Lion Fortress of #SriLanka.

    (My dissertation was partially concerned with the graffiti found on the Mirror Wall at Sigirya, much of which is addressed to the painted frescos of women.)

  14. I caught one of the best solar halos I've ever seen in Oregon this morning in the coast range. It happens when sunlight hits ice crystals in the atmosphere, and I usually think of it as a winter thing, not something for late April. The boundary was this clear and sharp in real life, like a portal opening up in the sky, then fading a few minutes later.

  18. More importantly it made me aware of Richard de Zoysa, a beautiful, formidably intelligent man whose homosexuality and political convictions threatened the regime so much that they had to kill him. May his memory be a blessing to queers of color everywhere.
