Directed by George C. Wolfe, ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ is based on the play of the same name, by August Wilson, who was often referred to as the ‘theater’s poet of Black America.’ The eponymous play was first staged in 1982. The film focuses on Ma Rainey, a real life blues singer and her group of blues musicians, coming together to record a few songs on a hot summer’s day in Chicago in 1927. Produced by Denzel Washington, Todd Black, and Dany Wolf, the film stars Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman, with Glynn Turman, Colman Domingo, Michael Potts, Taylour Paige and Dusan Brown in supporting roles. ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ is currently streaming on Netflix.
The majority of the Air Safety experts and all experienced pilots in Sri Lanka say that the potentially hazardous concrete wall at the Galle Road end of the Colombo International Airport Ratmalana should be removed and replaced with a fence capable of arresting an over running aircraft, if necessary. When the possible hazards were highlighted to the three ‘owners’ of the said wall, it was the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) that declared first that as there was no war situation at present, that they had no objection for its replacement with a fence. This was stated by none other than the present Commander of the Air Force himself as representative of the SLAF at the Policy Development Office (PDO) at the Prime Minister’s Office at Temple Trees. Regrettably, the Civil Aviation Authority was procrastinating at that time.

Just So Stories and
The Jungle Book. All of those informed in some ways, I think, who I wanted to write for and my style but the thing that marked me most is when I rediscovered all of those books reading them to my children.
C.S. Lewis used to say that “No children’s book that can’t be enjoyed by a fifty-year-old is a very good children’s book.” I now get what he meant by that. What he means is unless that book has some eternal reach and truth that can not only touch the child in their youth but touch that child when they’re older it really isn’t a great piece of literature or worth very much. So, I’ve always tried to write with an eye to the young person that’s reading today and the young at heart who might be reading it again later.
