This website is intended to provide a platform for news analysis of GLObal and loCAL (Sri Lankan) issues, for interaction of new ideas and approaches to contemporary issues, in the belief that only such interactions will promote and catalysis new thinking that can promote solutions to modern problems. It is designed to make people reflect and express themselves and ensure cross fertilisation of ideas rather than allow people to blindly accept so called solutions. It is grounded in the belief that solutions or the seeds of solutions can not only emerge from policy makers and governors but also ordinary citizens,  thought leaders, thinkers and intellectuals.
