Hello there,
This blog is named after the old Greek word for Sri Lanka, Taprobane. Uncut - the way it is. Uncensored, complete, raw, whole, unexpurgated, unedited, plain truths, blunt facts, and most of all its virgin beauty. Hence the brand name Taprobane Uncut (TU).
Sri Lanka’s extraordinary history is intimately tied to its geography. A meeting ground between the East and the West, it has always been an invader's paradise. Independence came at great cost. Sri Lanka’s history since independence has been marked by disunity and intermittent periods of virtual chaos.
We witnessed a bloody war that left us with little time to celebrate our Srilankan-ness. But i'm convinced Post war Srilanka has much more to offer the world.
Remember this blog is a tribute to this land that i call my own. Needless to say I hope to promote Sri Lanka through this blog. I may not update this blog regularly. Sorry. But life is such - too little time to focus on life's real pleasures.
From this blog will you hear, see, learn about the virgin beauty that is Srilanka. Well you can fall in love with her if you wish.
Be it business, tourism, marriage or string hoppers !
It’s all here, Uncut. Welcome to Taprobane Uncut.
