Friday Feels: What is a small act of kindness from a stranger that you still think about?
We often think of “impact” as something massive, a grand gesture or a life-changing motivation speech. But more often than not, the moments that stick to our heart and keep us warm years later are the tiny, quiet ones. They are the moments when a complete stranger saw us, even for a second, and decided…

Creative Chronicles: Pauses We Forget To Take
CHAPTER 06 Some of us say that we’re tired the same way we would say hello or that we’re hungry. It’s become a statement we utter very casually, no need to make such a big deal about feeling tired all the time – it’s only expected. ‘I’m tired’ ‘It was an eventful week’ ‘Didn’t get…

ROTALLIANCE
Rotalliance was not just a day out it was a moment of beautiful fellowship between the Rotaract Club of SLIIT and the Interact Club of Richmond College.

The Magic of Being a Woman: A Love Letter for International Women’s Day
I’ll be honest, when I was growing up, I spent a lot of time wishing I’d been born a boy. It didn’t take long for my younger self to realize the world felt like it was “built by them, for them.” While we were being conditioned to be “well-behaved” and face the music for every…

What I Wish People Understood About Cerebral Palsy: Different, Not Less
When people hear the words Cerebral Palsy, they often picture limitation. They imagine difficulty walking, difficulty speaking, difficulty moving through the world with ease. What they don’t immediately picture is a comedian delivering a powerful TED Talk. An actor on one of the most acclaimed television dramas of our time. An athlete competing on the…

Creative Chronicles: The Melodies of Our Mother Tongue
CHAPTER 04 A Sri Lankan Reflection on International Mother Language Day Every year on February 21st, the world celebrates International Mother Language Day. For many, it may be just another date on the calendar. But for us, as Sri Lankans whose mother tongues are Sinhala and Tamil, it feels like a quiet return home. Because…

World Day Of Social Justice 2025
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King Jr. How would you feel if us Sri Lankans didn’t have free education? Would many of us even be here? What would the country, the world be if Education is only available for Elites? Wouldn’t we all vote in favor of having equal…

Friday Feels: Which Movie Title Describes Your Life As A Student?
Welcome to the fourth issue of Friday Feels! If student life had a movie poster, it would look like a messy film festival where every genre is playing all at once. And honestly, that’s basically what being a student feels like. We asked students, “Which movie title best describes your life as a student?” And…

Avenue Committee Meetup 2025
What was supposed to be a neat, organized Avenue Meeting somehow turned into complete chaos, but to be honest, it was the best kind of chaos. After waiting for a while for this day to arrive, it finally happened, and from the very start, it was clear that it was never going to be a…

Friday Feels: If you were to describe your current chapter in life, what would it be called?
Welcome to the third issue of Friday Feels! If Life Were a A Book, What Would You Call This Chapter? If life were a book (and honestly it always feels like one), this wouldn’t be the dramatic climax. Right now, this feels more like that chapter you almost skip but later realise it mattered more…

The 13th Installation Ceremony
It’s rare to find yourself in a moment that truly feels like a scene from a movie. Yet, there I was on October 24th, 2026, at the 13th Installation of the Rotaract Club of SLIIT. Standing on that stage in the grand, theatre like auditorium, my eyes drifted up to the exact seat I had…

International Holocaust Remembrance Day: The Echoes of “Never Again”
On January 27, 1945, Soviet troops finally entered the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. To call what they came across as a nightmare is an understatement. It was a horror movie etched into reality: 7,000 ill and dying prisoners left behind by the SS. They had actually forced 60,000 others onto brutal death marches just days prior.…

Kindle Voyage : A Journey Where Learning Crossed Borders
What if education didn’t stop at borders? What if a simple notebook could travel miles to reach a child who needed it most? Kindle Voyage was born from that very belief. Initiated by the Rotaract Club of SLIIT (RID 3220), this international service initiative was more than a project—it was a journey of hope, friendship,…

Welcome to the second issue of Friday Feels! The landscapes of our beautiful island are slowly beginning to heal, but for many of us, the internal map of our lives has been permanently redrawn.
