My 19 cents on 2019. A THREAD> 1) SAVE. Start with Rs.1000/- a month. More than 1000 is welcome. Put it in a separate account. Put that the first thing when you receive your salary. Do this simple thing for 6 months. You'll love the new person forming.

For privileged, Aragalaya is a spectator sport. They want to on and off it when it suits their way of life. Fair enough. But for majority of Sri Lankans who are actually on the ground risking their lives, seems to want more. They are sick of manipulation.
