2018 Jan 1
2018 is finally here, and everyone always wants something special for The New Year, be it a gift or hopes for the future! So we decided to ask around and find out what some of your favourite people from Colombo want for 2018!

Every Christmas I do ask for all the fancy stuff, but I got to terms with the fact that Santa is just faking it.
The season changed for me in 2010 when I lost Mummy just 10 days before Christmas and since then I have learned to love more, hug more, and find more reasons to smile.
So for 2018 if I can always laugh/smile, play the fool, and still buy 20 Timberland shoes, I’ll be happy.

I want all the stakeholders of our country to understand the real challenges and be honest and direct about their own weaknesses and make a call to address them with their utmost honesty and accountability, to create a better environment for 21.5 million Sri Lankans to acquire and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.
Adrian de Silva
I hope 2018 will feel like we are all 18 again – young with ambitions stupid enough to make rational decisions that in the end have got us where we all are now. Also that it will not be a trial year for the third time in a row again! Have a good one all!
Harpo Gooneratne
Peace, Love, Unity & Respect!

All I want for 2018 is a highway from Colombo to Kandy, as I spend a lot of time on the road between Colombo and Kandy. Less traffic and a shorter travel time would be nice!
Melissa Dharmadasa
All I want for 2018 is my very own pimped up tuk tuk with a super cool horn and plenty of real grapes instead of the fake ones.
Ishan De Lannerole
All I want for 2018 is to lose weight, to be in a spaceship which I am generally in, a day between Saturday and Sunday, and possibly a holiday between Wednesday and Thursday!

2018:
Don’t be defined by your past, our past is our tutor of the present and always preparing us for new experiences. Forget about disappointments or any past mistakes that is keeping you from moving forward and remember it is never too late for a new beginning.
It is very simple as long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits and most importantly as long as we have love, today is beautiful.

In 2018 I wish we all accept and unify all people of any ethnicity under the One in Sri Lanka. It starts with all religious leaders sticking to what they are supposed to do, preaching the words of peace and goodness.
