This dessert is a work of art, so fragrant and delicate. Can't wait to dig in! Thanks to beautiful friends @rashidabadani and @muru_the_bearded_man for introducing me to mallai khajla.

How does a Sri Lankan girl, raised to sing classical music, make a career in hip hop? And what does she do when she outgrows the persona that made her so successful? In our final episode of #theFword on @pulse.lk @ashanthidealwis opens up about what it took to get her first album off the ground and to perform alongside Sri Lankan pop music legends like Bathiya and Santhush, why she then stepped away for five years, how her definition of success has changed and how she used innovative marketing during this pandemic to ensure her music academy now has students all over the world. To listen to her is to understand something about the courage it takes to reinvent yourself, how success is also about being pragmatic and strategic and why, in the end, humility is key. You'll find us on Pulse's YouTube channel under a playlist titled The F Word.
Peter D'Almeida is hard to put in a box. He has been at various points in his life a trade union leader, an activist, the managing director of a tech company and an actor. Peter's philosophy was shaped by his extraordinary mother and by the activism of legendary trade union leader Bala Tampoe, and in this episode of #theFword on @pulse.lk he speaks of how he's faced down great losses and great challenges with a rare equanimity. Whether he's talking about losing his father at age 4, ensuring his fledgeling company survived the 2008 financial crisis, returning for Koombiyo after 15 years away from acting, or even what advice he would give to his 20-year-old self, Peter is full of positivity and commitment to that quality he dubs 'social consciousness.' You'll find us on Pulse's YouTube channel, under a playlist titled The F Word.
