"War is a complex
mechanism that gives rise to various sub or regional cultures. 'Junction 69' is one
such subculture that has formed over the past two decades. At one time in my life I
was part of that subculture from which I have now distanced myself. From Colombo,
the so called 'center' of modern Sri Lankan society where war is more a 'media reality'
for media merchants and politicians, which is intermittently ruptured by bomb explosions,
I look back at my days at 'Junction 69' and I can see how war and violence defined human
space in alarming dimensions that are horrific and weird in one hand and sarcastic and
satirical on the other."
