To my story: a last-minute deal put us on a flight to Sri Lanka with two weeks to plan all the accommodation, transport and most importantly the camera bag! My travel photography planning really kicks only after flights are booked. Before that, there is the inevitable chicken and egg, doing mini research into places, weather conditions, daily costs, flight availability etc.

Lanka is a 2011 Indian drama-thriller film directed by Maqbool Khan and produced by Vikram Bhatt under BVG Films associating ASA Production and Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.The film stars Manoj Bajpayee, Arjan Bajwa and Tia Bajpai in the lead roles. It was released on 20 October2011.
The movie "Lanka" begins in the present day Mumbai with Anju narrating about her past. Jaswant Sisodia is the don of a small town in UP, India called Bijnor. He rules the place and the police and politicians support him. He is in love with Anju, a doctor. Her father is the Chief Medical Officer of Bijnor. Anju is actually sexually exploited by Sisodia. Every night after taking drinks, he comes to her house and sleeps with her. She tries to commit suicide but her father stops her. She tries to run away but the house is guarded by Sisodia's men. Her father tries to meet the cops but they don't want to entertain him. Also, we never know how Anju became Sisodia's mistress.
The story takes a turn when Chhote enters Sisodia's house. He is Sisodia's mentor's son and Sisodia loves him like his own brother. Chhote sees Anju and from the very moment gets attracted to her. He asks Sisodia who she is, but he gets no reply. Later, Sisodia tells him to take care of a property near the town. When he goes there, he is beaten up the nearby villagers who claim the land is theirs. Wounded, he fights back later at dawn, killing seven people. Sisodia slaps him for the murders but then loves him and sees to it that he is left off by the court as innocent. Because of this, the villagers and the local cop, Sr Supdt of Police Bhup Singh start making a plan to kill Sisodia.
Meanwhile, Anju goes along with Chhote for her master's exams. After the exams, she requests him to kill her but he tells her that one needs courage to live and not to die. Slowly he starts to fall in love with her. With an inner fight between the right and the wrong, loyalty and empathy, he leaves Sisodia's house and comes and stays at his place. Sisodia, drunk and hurt comes to meet him, fights with him and when he's about to leave, he is shot by an assassin (sent by the cop and villagers). Chhote then protects Sisodia from the firing but gets shot in the back. Sisodia saves his life by taking him to the hospital and vows to take revenge.
In the meantime, Anju who works in the same hospital starts to fall in love with Chhote. Also, Anju's father has now joined hands with a crime branch officer of Lucknow Tyagi and files a case against Sisodia. Then Sisodia starts taking revenge by killing all the people involved and it ends by Chhote, who is discharged from the hospital killing the SSP in front of Sisodia.
Sisodia learns that Anju's father has filed a case against him. He along with Chhote takes him to a brothel and warns him to withdraw the case otherwise he'll make her into a prostitute and sell her in Dubai. Chhote is shocked to hear and Anju's father, who is unable to bear the shock and grief, commits suicide after reaching home.
Chhote, realizing that he has seen enough, goes to the crime branch officer Tyagi and files a case against Sisodia. The crime branch officer tells him that he would be termed a traitor by some and righteous by others but whatever he's doing is correct. Sisodia learns about Chhote's change of mind and in the night as Chhote and Anju are leaving Bijnor on their mobike, he confronts and stops them. Chhote tells him that he is wrong and needs to leave Anju. As Chhote turns and moves towards his bike, Sisodia shoots Chhote. But after shooting him, he realizes his mistake and goes towards Chhote. Chhote dies in Sisodia's arms. Sisodia then looks upwards to see that Anju is pointing the gun towards him. He begs her to shoot him as he cannot live without Chhote. She shoots him to death.
Lanka opened to mixed response from critics as well as public. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama rated it 2/5 and added "Lanka has some shining moments." At the box office, the film had a poor opening, as it faced tough competition from other strong releases The Dirty Picture and Ladies vs Ricky Bahl.\
What a lovely surprise I received in my Facebook inbox last week! Suranga Katugampala provided me with a short film of his, which acts as a form of test for his upcoming feature film. Aesthetically, his work looks more than promising and I thoroughly enjoyed the 18 minutes in his world.
The event, which is organized by the Asian Studies Program of UNLV's College of Liberal Arts and sponsored by the Nevada Humanities Committee and the Sri Lanka America Association of Southern Nevada, is free and open to the public.
Fonseka wrote and directed "Uthumaneni" ("My Lord!") and acted in it as well. This award-winning film depicts the plight of a female rape victim and her family in the male-dominated justice system of Sri Lanka. Fonseka tackled this sensitive subject long before politicians in Sri Lanka began dealing with the issue.
On June 6, Fonseka will be honored with a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to Sri Lankan cinema for the past 40 years. The award will be presented in Los Angeles by the Lanka America Cultural Council.
He began his film career as the third assistant director in David Lean's Bridge on the River Kwai. He also served as an assistant director on Rekawa," a film by Sri Lankan director Lester James Peiris.
Fonseka quickly became a matinee idol after making his acting debut in the film Sandesaya. One of his best performances came in the film Nidhanaya ("The Treasure"), which recently was selected as one of the best 100 movies ever made in the world and became part of the collection at the International Film Archive.
In later years Fonseka became involved in politics, serving as deputy speaker of Parliament and as the governor of the North-Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. He recently retired from politics and now serves as the director of Maharaja Organization, a multinational corporation.
Whenever I travel, it's rarely without my vintage Richo film camera. There is something about the finality of not being able to check and then re-take a photo and also going out to develop the physical copies of the photos which is quite special.
Last year, I went on a 3 week holiday to Sri Lanka with a friend from uni and my brother. We had an incredible time and ate our body weight in rice and curry. Our itinerary took us from the capital Colombo then up to Dambulla; where we climbed up Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rocks.
We travelled onwards to World Heritage city Kandy and visited the breathtaking Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya. Our next stop was a challenge for our driver to reach but the amazing AirBNB we stayed in on the edge of the Knuckles ranges made the steep climb worth it. The hike to the top of Knuckles (1852m) is not for the faint-hearted, with plenty of leeches and jungle climbing to satisfy the inner adventurer.
Our final stop was the costal town of Hikkaduwa for some rest and relaxation. A side trip to the Galle, proved a fascinating journey through history. The fort was built by the Portuguese, before being altered by the Dutch and then utilised by the British during their colonisation of what was then known as Ceylon.

Perhaps the classic Sri Lanka-based film, the 1957 David Lean directed World War II epic featuring Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins and William Holden, tells the story of a group of Japanese prisoner of war captors forced to build a bridge over the River Kwai that once completed will help the Japanese connect Thailand and Burma (Myanmar).
Today, visitors come to Kitulgala less for the big screen memories (though a trail leads through the forest to the site of filming) and more for the white water rafting, jungle trekking and bird-watching.
Perhaps the finest home-grown Sri Lankan film of recent years, The Road From Elephant Pass recounts the civil war years and the battle for the Elephant Pass, a narrow strip of land that links the Jaffna Peninsula to the rest of Sri Lanka.
Not actually a Hollywood movie location, but definitely the Sri Lankan hotel of choice for a string of royals, diplomats and Hollywood and Bollywood A-listers, the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo is one of the classic colonial-style hotels of the sub-continent.
