March 5th, 2011 | Comments are closed I apologize for the long time without a word written. I’ve spent the past few months, taking a bit of time for myself for personal growth and some writing offline. Also I needed to figure out how best to maintain my blog so that it fits in with my own personal goals.
One of the changes I’m going to make is to use the blog as a way to express some of my personal philosophy while also continue to highlight the awesomeness in the world.
Look forward to any comments you may have.

November 5th, 2010 | Comments are closed Some inspiration from the very cool (and brilliant) Seth Godin:
Childlike makes a great scientist; Childish produces tantrums.
Childlike brings fresh eyes to marketing opportunities; Childish rarely shows up as promised.
Childlike is fearless and powerful and willing to fail; Childish is annoying.
Childlike inquires with a pure heart; Childish is merely ignored.

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
And turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen.”
Got to love the Franciscans.
October 28th, 2010 | My involvement with the Mosaic Institute in creating a set of Peace Dialogues about Sri Lanka remains one of my more important present initiatives. In addition to being election day, Monday also happened to be the day of our second dialogue, discussing the roles and responsibilities of the media to fostering peace and community harmony in Sri Lanka.
Like the first dialogue, this event featured Sri Lankan speakers who were acutely aware of the challenges as journalists and media representatives in the country. Panellists included:
- NIGEL NUGAWELA – Co-Editor, Groundviews, Colombo, Sri Lanka
- V.V. GANESHANANTHAN – Novelist (Love Marriage), Blogger and Journalist, Ann Arbor, MI
- ARJUNA RANAWANA – News Manager, OMNI TV Alberta, Edmonton
- MARTIN REGG COHN – Deputy Editorial Page Editor, The Toronto Star
Video and comments follow after the jump.
