Had an interesting chat with Amandeep Gill, a founder of the Farmers First Foundation, Indian Foreign Service (been in Sri Lanka for a while) and a fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford. Check them out.

Diya Rakusa, lit. "water demon" (translation from Sinhala). A nickname earned - the hard way - in water polo. Back in Sri Lanka with an MBA and undiminished idealism. Should be an interesting ride.

Lahore violence against Sri Lankan cricketers
What a cruel blow to Pakistan and cricket fans everywhere. Just a couple of hours ago I left a speaker event on Pakistan with optimism for its future. My Pakistani classmate Osman Khan emailed me, the first I knew of it, saying "I am sorry about what happened in Lahore today. It is sad that my country has come to a point when friends of Pakistan are being attacked. When no one was ready to tour the country, the Sri Lankans came-and this is what happened."
A dark day for all concerned.
