After RFA reported it, Indian news outlets like The New Indian Express & The Tribune amplified it. India should realize that the day it crosses a $10-12 trillion GDP, the U.S. will likely fund anti-India narratives too. US hates economic rivals.

I am on my 1200th km here, and I havenโ€™t spotted a single pothole so far. How is this even humanly possible man? That too in a country where the monsoon rains are at their peak. What quality are they using? I shouldnโ€™t have come here. More than enjoyment it is saddening me. Wtf.

One thing I truly admire about Sri Lanka's Ministry of Health is making ๐ŸŸข๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ”ด Color-coded labeling of sugar, fat, and salt mandatory on every product in 2019 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ It makes making healthier choices so much easier and people know what they are buying

sri lanka uses a mandatory color coded traffic light labelling system on packaged foods. It's red for high sugar, yellow and green...plus there are health warnings about sugar causing diabetes...

But seriously, if you think Sri Lanka is โ€˜mini Indiaโ€™ you couldnโ€™t be more wrong. Generalising of course but Sri Lankans are delighted to see you. Also the rubbish pollution is comparatively non-existent. Cant wait to get out of here.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Unpopular Opinion : Abolish the maximum 4 floor height limit in this city and let real estate developers in to build high rise apartments. To save land, designate one high-density zone and only allow highrises there. people love owning property within a colder climate.
