A dance performed to Carnatic music by pretty Chinese lassies


The song is a popular Tamil song about Lord Krishna - 'Brindawanamum Nandhakumaranum...'. I think that it is sung in Telungu in this video. Wait a few minutes for the video to load and click on the arrow-head with your speakers on. Videoo forwarded by Kamalini Kanapathippillai.

Vehicle ownership in Sri Lanka.

Every third person owns a vehicle in Sri Lanka
March 23, 2016, Island by Dasun Edirisinghe
Nearly one in every three persons owns a vehicle in Sri Lanka, according to a recent survey, Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva says. The minister said the country had 6.3 million vehicles at present for a population of 21 million. The minister was addressing a seminar in Badulla organised to educate driving instructors of Moneragala, Badulla, Ampara and Ratnapura Districts on Monday

Vehicle Ownership

      
 According to Wikipedia the motor vehicle ownership rate for Sri Lanka in 2012 was 76 per 1000 persons. If the Minister's figure of 1 in 3 is correct it should be 333 per 1000 persons. So the question arises if the Minister included bicycles and bullock carts also in his calculation !

       Some comparative figures for motor vehicle ownership per 1000 persons are as follows:
