Peaceful Protest - Perplexing Politics

Debate continues as to whether this action was constitutional and if the decision will hold once a Parliamentary vote called.

October is a less-than-ideal weather month in Colombo, when monsoon season is most likely to impact the city. The sunsets have been lovely when the skies are not overcast, and though it's still very humid, the temperature is bit more moderate. Evening thunder and lightening storms have been frequent, and we experience occasional rainbows.
