udurawana

no sri lankan blog is truly complete without reference to one of it's famous sons, udurawana. the easiest way to explain the remarkable dude is the fact that in his previous birth he was a blond. here's a sampling of his antics as sent in by junior.

Udurawana bought a brand new Maruti and decided to drive down from Kandy, where he lived, to Colombo to meet his friend. He reached there in a few hours. After spending a few days there, he decided to return, and called up his mother to expect him in the evening. But he didn't reach in the evening and not the next day either.When he finally reached home on the third day, his distraught mother ran and asked him "What happened, my son?" Udurawana got out, obviously very tired from the long journey, and said, "These Maruti car people are crazy!They have four gears for going forward, but only one for going back!”
