One blue sees red, the other steals the show

So Meryvn Silva was at it again. This time around, however, it was a close home-and-home encounter of the blue kind that saw a top Cabinet minister see red and fretting in front of an amused crowd.

This was at the gem and jewellery exhibition at the BMICH and the chief guest invited to cut the ceremonial ribbon was the Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion Minister Dr. Sarath Amunugama. While the minister was waiting for the auspicious time to cut the ribbon, in stormed Silva from out of the blues into the exhibition area from another entrance and damn with protocol, before leaving with a broad smile on his face.

And while all this was taking place the Chief Guest was still waiting to cut the ribbon as the man from Kelaniya scored another first.
