The testosterone has arrived: big match season starts this weekend. Here’s how you can escape the SSC. Start with the art and jazz [festival](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E74bXzZVT/) — perhaps Fairway’s contrition for GLF. Then walk over the OGF for the World Press Photo [exhibition](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVLlHlZlKM%5F/?ref=examiner.media). For the evening, Tamil speakers head to a [comedy](https://www.instagram.com/p/DU5oyl4jIz8/?ref=examiner.media) show, others listen to the universal language of [music](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVFf6R4ktGa/?ref=examiner.media). 

Train your toddlers this Saturday. Good Market is [teaching](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ERwvnRhMn/) kids how to make tea so you can finally reap the fruits of your labour. Catch also the last day of Prasad Hettiarachchi’s ‘neighbours dance in my garden’ [exhibition](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G6tkyKDBj/). We thought the only reasons to brave Pettah were cheap home appliances, cheaper spectacles and Sri Suryas. Add history to that list. CHDM takes you on a memory [stroll](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVLdU%5FvEl%5Fx/?ref=examiner.media).

Uditha Devapriya has decided to give Martin Wickremesinghe a rest and [talk](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4OJNvXma%5FdFlEH2ViE-2zVblpb5-HBEhFdh4HeJ02kJ0ihQ/viewform?ref=examiner.media) to another author, Ajay Kamalakaran, instead. This Sunday they discuss Colombo: Port of Call. If wizards are more your thing, Lakmahal’s book club [discusses](https://www.instagram.com/p/DULMfAPjeZL/?ref=examiner.media) Ursula Le Guin. 

The week is for cinema. Bridgerton, of course. But if you finished it all already, catch a screening of ten [short films](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1bTHdcSBdi/) by female filmmakers and one [long film](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/641070348%5F18314110111269398%5F4096867942897056432%5Fn.heic?stp=dst-jpg%5Fe35%5Fs1080x1350%5Ftt6&%5Fnc%5Fcat=111&ccb=7-5&%5Fnc%5Fsid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmciOiJGRUVELmlnX3NoaW1fcmVhZC4xMDgweDEzNTAuQzMifQ%3D%3D&%5Fnc%5Fohc=sBN%5FF%5FMuc1YQ7kNvwH3fFI-&%5Fnc%5Foc=Adl3nf-dzwQCfJvJ4gstFlMYk%5Fv8tSBv9ZVGImtlVJNtt8ieZTLL0mWZ7oHarpZTSWSQElzWFJWJUVuwHgxbI7Cs&%5Fnc%5Fad=z-m&%5Fnc%5Fcid=0&%5Fnc%5Fzt=23&%5Fnc%5Fht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&%5Fnc%5Fgid=dCsuNvWvkDB4epFZEwEaUg&oh=00%5FAftrJ96wJgl1LQbJt7lMJSqno0Ij4-LnqlTH2DV0QWE5Eg&oe=69A5B959&ig%5Fcache%5Fkey=Mzg0MDA1ODM0MzA0NjYzNDgyOA%3D%3D.2-ccb7-5&ref=examiner.media), presumably by a turtle. Speaking of seas, the wildlife society is [exploring](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVKqbsvD9rh/?ref=examiner.media) the ocean through eDNA. 

Bawa Trust’s open house [festival](https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVIYuyVDtmS/?ref=examiner.media) is coming up in March, for you to enjoy a real-life pinterest board. As is the Mahler Society’s [collaboration](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18FyVeFEMG/) with WAYO - tickets are selling out fast.

*What to read*

Read up on Sri Lanka’s three [favourite](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/courts-constitutions-and-karma/824D7693132BCF5BF828BF4FC6EABA26?fbclid=IwY2xjawQM6BhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeP2IuZi6xSGBrzj0Q7WpbwWvHbMCv1d-zQDml-OSEaLcf2zLQCBBbT0jZgzc%5Faem%5F0ZGW8PWpg%5F7N5waI3Z1nlQ&ref=examiner.media) C’s, courts constitutions, and (C)Karma, in Benjamin Schonthol’s book on Buddhism in legal practice. And since the courts just take too much of everyone’s time, a [report](https://www.sdg16.plus/resources/community-mediation-in-sri-lanka-an-effective-and-scalable-low-cost-justice-solution/?ref=examiner.media) on community mediation. Or G.L. Pieris’ [analysis](https://www.dailymirror.lk/plus/G-L-Peiris-delves-into-Protection-of-Occupants-Bill-during-university-lecture/352-333738?ref=examiner.media) of the new renters bill. 

This week we wrote on how trade migration influenced food. Pair that with a [review](https://www.artra.lk/decentering-the-compass/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQM1L1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETIzZ3o1ZEt2WEo0YTdyWG5ic3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuJ90-mZeQAUeCjVyiqOv0gmvCcI9UhCMl0b0axr07bPvIHH%5Fy0HjTRONwXJ%5Faem%5F7dEshTH-VURikFWgtqnkZA&ref=examiner.media) of Pala Pothupitiya’s art which meditates on the same theme. 

Ganga Rajnee Dissanayake, meanwhile, [discusses](https://www.themorning.lk/articles/QjOr3V5d30BjIgyJHhgD?ref=examiner.media) stolen relics and artifact diplomacy. Udara Pieris [explains](https://www.ft.lk/opinion/Nearly-two-years-of-missed-inflation-targets-why-that-matters/14-788785?ref=examiner.media) why anchoring inflation expectations are important, and how two years of missing targets could put the bank’s credibility to sea.
