The image is a screenshot from a YouTube video by the channel WION. The main focus is a stack of documents, prominently featuring Sri Lankan passports. The scene appears to be indoors with a close-up view of the passports and related paperwork spread across a table. The passports have a dark cover with the Sri Lankan emblem embossed in gold, creating a contrast against the white and colored documents beneath them. The lighting is bright enough to highlight the details on the passports and papers.
The header of the video boldly states, "The economic crisis forces Sri Lankans to flee as they seek passport to a better life," indicating a discussion about the economic situation in Sri Lanka and its impact on citizens. A caption at the bottom reads, "Sri Lankan PM predicts food crisis in the country," highlighting concerns about a looming crisis. The key on-screen text "COLOMBO, SRI LANKA" provides a geographic context, suggesting where this situation is unfolding.
The image is part of a broader narrative on the economic challenges faced by Sri Lankans, pushing many to seek opportunities abroad. The neatly organized documents suggest a formal setting, possibly an office or government institution where passport applications are processed. The presence of numerous passports implies a significant number of people are involved, further emphasizing the gravity of the crisis.

Just doing some work. I think I'm coloring in these indexes for "corruption perception". Sri Lanka's a disaster rating. It's at 30s or something. It's been ranked 102 in 2021. It's scored a low 37 in 2021. In 2020 it was 38. Instead of "it", we can say, "she". But I don't like to do that. I guess, SL in 2019 was 38, in 2018 SL was 38, in 2017 SL was 37, in 2016 it was 37, in 2015 it was 36. This means, it was slowly improving.

I have to manually color in these boxes. I should be taking a break. To rest my tired eyes due to eye strain.

The locals, Sri Lankans, have a local interpretation of some words, some customs, some moral questions on right and wrong.

It is important to identify these, then, very carefully, avoid any further disrespect or contempt or problems that will arise.

I want 5 x Shiba Ino, 5 x Corgi and 5 x Golden Retriever dog breed families in our home.

Maybe 5 x Pomeranian and 5 x Basset Hound.

They will get along very well.

I think the golden retrievers can be trained to sniff for bombs or explosives, so they can be used for military security applications for our safety.

They can sniff guests, without suspicion, so it's good, a golden retriever is very friendly, a good leader and my favorite dog breed of them all.

I think it's more practical, to just have the Shiba Ino, Corgi and Golden Retrievers.

Mahesh Hirdaramani's son Parthiv had a Pomeranian called "Joy" who I liked. Jonathan Hirshon has a cool basset hound called "Fenris" that is 12 now.

We have a big garden, so they can hang out happily. I think they will be super happy. They can even go inside the bird cages. I love dogs and cats. We can get cats too. I don't know what kind.

I think our swimming pool, it is a rectangle box. It has 2 x ladders in the shallow and deep end. But I think that, I will change it, so that there is a way for the dog to slowly walk inside and outside.

We used to have 2 x star tortoise, but they both have gone missing and may have even died. I worry they have drowned in the pool.

I want there to be a way to train our dogs to swim, and then, to go in and out of the pool.

I think I like dogs with less hair, so we will do haircuts or trim their hair regularly. This is so it is nice and cool for our dogs in Sri Lanka's 35 degrees Celsius which is often 100 degrees Fahrenheit boiling hot!

When my dad had Paddy, a Saint Bernard dog, he had to keep the air conditioning on because he had so much fur. I would climb on top of the Mitsubishi Pajero that JR had given my dad to get a view from afar, as that majestic lion dog, would bark at me.

When the dog has a lot of fur, it will also attract ticks, which is very problematic. I think squirrels, lizards and other animals will eat those ticks. The dragon flies in our garden kill all the mosquitoes.

In this historical portrait, King George VI is depicted wearing formal Freemason regalia. The setting is a simple, indoor backdrop that highlights the solemnity and dignity of the occasion.

Favourite movies:

1. American Psycho. 97%

Christian Bale at his finest. A woman director. Mentions Sri Lanka. Better than back to the future, they mention Trump: approved by Ivanka and Jared. It's larger than life. I love the soundtrack. It exposes how flawed people are, how corrupt society is, and how, we are the psychopaths. I love the dialogue, I love the acting, I love the violence, I love the violence, I love the bloody violence. It's better than all the James Bond movies. It's more real than any other movie.

2. Godfather Part 1. 95%

Needs no explanation. A wonderful cast, with excellent chemistry. A story about how family, reality, it outweighs any bullshit in life. The message this movie delivers, even today, is haunting, this is why, I feel it deserves Oscars year after year because it shadow dwarfs new movies which have no soul, no meaning, except movies like Fast and Furious, that still don't compete with it. It's more meaningful than The Matrix.

3. Scarface. 94%

I love the message. The acting is exceptionally good. It's a lesson on how drugs are sold by very bad guys, and that legalization and being sensible, is the only answer. Just like Thilanga, even Tony, he demanded, that he will never kill a man when the wife is travelling, apparently, according to a rat Bada Mahinda who was probably inventing lies, but also to never kill women and children. The way Tony said he's got his word and balls, and he won't break them for anyone. It was legendary. Greater than what it means to be a man than Fight Club. This was why cinema was invented, it was just such a magnificent performance, like filming Jesus 2,000 years ago. Like filming Moses part the red sea, many years ago.

4. Pulp Fiction. 93%

Very well written. The poetry is beautiful. It's a work of genius. This one, it can easily beat 90% of the IMDb top 200 movies of all time.

5. Don Juan DeMarco. 92%

It's a masterpiece. It's the best performance by Marlon Brando.

6. Like Mike. 90%

The story of strong, black character leads, helping an orphan. The story is beautiful. It's an underrated masterpiece. The music is very good. I like the acting.

7. Zombieland. 88%

Double Tap!!

9. The Purge. 84%

Very exciting. Dystopia.

10. Shrek. 83%

Narrative structure is beautiful. I like the soundtrack. The music is beautiful. I like how the villain is the hero.

11. Jurassic Park 1. 82%

I never felt the way, I felt, when i saw those dinosaurs for the first time.

12. The Hateful Eight. 80%

The Ennio Morricone music. The foul racist language. The character arcs.

13. Sweeney Todd. 77%

The revenge fantasy. Justice. The black humor, meat pies. I love the music.

14. Charlie+Chocolate Factory. 75%

The character arc. The acting. The story of giving an empire to a good soul. Rewarding good character.

15. Jesus Christ Superstar. 72%

The music. Beautiful music. I memorized the songs. I love this.
