Especially when it's externally induced the synthetic aphrodisiacs have made me respond in 'Drunken gibberish'. I become too heady and subservient in a dramatized setting for the swooning of the opposite sex. These theatrics have only made me a loner and as for the part of feelings of love that was spontaneously generated in me, well they were all relegated to the confines of the domain of platonic.

One of it can be found in the premises of Ethkanda Vihara (a historical temple with religious significance) and the other is being kept under the guardianship of Muslim curates.Before proceeding any further on the subject of these two shrines an analysis of who God Gale Bandara is needs be considered. King Buwanekabahu II had been meandering in the streets one day with his retinue. Besides being a spirited character the King espoused the importance of being duty - bound from  his courtiers.At around the same time a beautiful damsel had caught his eye near a place called Asweduma ( the ancient title deeds outline the boundaries of this area as the land in fron...
