How can US have a normal relationship, when Hillary…

I don’t have any problem with any nation doing nuclear experiments as long as there intention is to use that technology to develop their country. I clearly don’t support US’s bully approach that they conduct against every country in this world. According to Clinton, US will never have normal relationship with North Korea. It’s not an exaggeration to say that US will never have a normal relationship with any country that challengers its views.

Sri Lankan government ended a 30 year old war. But US lawmakers like Hillary kept attacking Sri Lankan government by false allegation. And today US State Department once again made headline saying Sri Lankan government disobey the Human Rights Law during the war.

Who are we kidding; US State Department is Hillary’s office. Not a long ago one of Hillary’s biggest donor got arrested by FBI for Insider Trading. Raj Rajaratnam, donated money to Hillary’s campaign and his money came with conditions. Hillary has to do everything in her power to stop Sri Lankan government kicking LTTE’s rare end.

Hillary and her colleague’s voices made headlines every time people like Raj Rajaratnam dropped of a bag of cash at their door steps (bank accounts). I am very thankful for FBI, for what they did and they did it Hillary knowing about it. Now that she has no place to go, her office releases a report against Sri Lanka for violating human rights law. How did they get information? Not a single US representative was in the war zone during the war nor they have made an attempt to go over there after the war. Yet they make false accusations against Sri Lankan government.

This why I started saying, US will never have a normal relationship with any country unless they change their approach. We all know the ending of high school bullies right..? It’s never a good ending for them…

Attack the Moon, threaten rest of the world and still win a nobel peace award

I have nothing against Obama, but It’s really funny to wake up and hear that Obama won the nobel peace award. Also whats more funny is that judgers have mentioned that it was a unanimous decision. Judges decision really cracked me up. Then I realized only an American president can do that, do what? destroy the image of Sri Lanka while trying to fight against LTTE, cast the vote while you are on senate to send troops to iraq, keep on going war in Afghanistan, threaten Iran to shut down its nuclear research, last but not least attack the moon to find evidence of water and yet still win Nobel Peace Award.

Sri Lankan president brought peace to Sri Lanka by ending a war that existed for more than three decades. But why would the judges consider a president from a developing country when you have a president that fits the above mention activities that must have to win a Nobel Peace Price. All this time I thought it was really hard to get a Nobel Price but today I realize its not the case anymore…, ooh I just forgot I can never be the president of United States, so its still an impossible task.

Return the Baby Elephants to their mother

If you haven’t seen the story here is in the nut shell . Sri Lanka has the largest and well maintained Elephants orphanage in the world. Its called Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. Recently two baby elephants were taken away from their mother where all were happily living at the orphanage and given to one of the main temple in Sri Lanka. I am really ashamed of Sri lanka’s highest Buddhist institute. As the followers of great philosophy Asgiriya and Malwatte Temples had the opportunity to refuse the donation from heartless minister. But they didn’t. Load Buddha was person who understood the relationship between mother and child. He went further by putting regulations where a young child can not enter to a life of Bikku with out permission of their parents. Its sad to see a Buddhist Country like Sri Lanka taking away child from a mother. Yes, it can be an animal but I doubt mother love changes from humans to animals. Especially when you talk elephants who are extremely smart.

I am bias because elephants are my favorite animals in this planet. I have had many close calls, but I still love them, who couldn’t, even poets have written poems about elephants. My biggest frustration was President Mahinda Rajapaksha whom I thought would do the right thing went and officially handed over the elephants to the temple.

Hardly 10 people read my blog in a given day, month, or even year but if any one read this please put a comment requesting elephants to be return to their mother and I am planning to print all the comments and forward them to both presidents office and both the temples.

Back in Minneapolis…

Back in Minneapolis, and miss my family and friends. I had a great time in Colombo threw a surprise party for my parents 31st wedding anniversary. Only trade off is that I am back in states just in time to watch Lakers winning their 15th NBA championship trophy.

Live from Sri Lanka

After 24 hours of flying finally I am home and this time its special for the first time there is no war in Sri Lanka. Coward Prabakaran is dead, Sri Lankan Army Crushed them. From the time I landed in Colombo Airport, I saw in everyone’s face that there is hope. Hope that this country will be peaceful place and a develop country without no LTTE.

Also for the first time i was able to surprise my parents. They had no idea about my trip and I wanted to do this for their wedding anniversary. So far I am on track, they were so surprise that when I rang our door bell my mom thought I was a thief.

Shut your mouth: US Senators ask Colombo to alleviate humanitarian crisis

As usual US can never mind their own business. Don’t you guys have enough problems? If you have forgotten, I just like to remind, Economy, war in Afganistan, war in Iraq. So for a change why dont you go take care of those issues.

Sri Lanka doesn’t need some big brother to tell what to do. We have politicians that get elected from people’s vote, they will do that Sri Lankan’s ask them to do, and US, You don’t have to worry about us. Where were these Senators when US were shelling Iraq and killing thousands of innocent civilians while hunting down Sadham Hussain? A country that can’t finish a single war they started but try to advise entire world on how to do things, and if that country fails to listen what does US do? US hold on to giving away the funds, which I called chump change. At the end of the day, those funding goes back to US via all these NGO.

Biggest thing US can’t figure out is that “How the hell an Army from a developing country destroy worlds NO:1 Terrorist organization”? Bin Laden and gang is nothing comparing to LTTE, what does Al qaeda do, they hide in mountains and send rockets. LTTE, had the power from Land, Air and Sea, but we all saw how SL Army crushed them to death. So, as usual US can’t take it that developing country has a better military tactics than US. Both Obama and Hillary play the political game at their best. We all saw that, how did the LTTE based funding that Hilary got during her campaign started to make its headway.

Sri Lanka without a war…

For the first time in my life time, Sri Lanka is a free country from war. Every day I watch news and I see our brothers are fighting against LTTE Terrorists and my eyes get filled with tears. Simply because the sacrifice our Sri Lankan Army is making to save our country from these LTTEs. But today is a proud moment for every single soldier who fought this war. Because no more Prabakran and not more LTTE. Sri Lankan Army crushed the LTTE dream.

Sri Lanka’s second flyover is going to be in my suburb

Dehiwala is coastal town geographically somewhat similar to San Fran and highly populated, highly developed suburb in Colombo District. Recently there have been major additions to Dehiwala skyline such as five start rated apartment complexes. Galle is an internationally famous town in Sri Lanka and Dehiwala is a major town that connect South and Colombo. During Tsunami Dehiwala Coastal area got effected but fortunately it was minimal. There are thousands of major bus lines cross Dehiwala junction in daily basis and not only that if you are traveling from South to Colombo or Colombo to any part of the South you have to pass Dehiwala.

In the map below, follow the Hill Street towards to your left, and you will see how breath taking it is…

Happy Sinhala and Tamil New year

‘If there is any genocide in Sri Lanka it is by the LTTE’ says Lord Naseby (By: Walter Jayawardhana)

Lord Naseby, Conservative Peer and Chair of All Party Parliamentary Group on Sri Lanka said if there is any genocide in Sri Lanka it is by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who hold civilian Tamils by force as a human shield in the war.

“This talk about genocide is rubbish. The only people who are causing genocide are the LTTE who are holding the civilians as a human shield,” he said when a LTTE propagandist in the audience charged the Sri Lanka government of genocide. Lord Naseby was referring to the Tamil civilians who are being held against their will as a human shield in the current war by the LTTE and who are being shot at by the LTTE when they attempt to escape on foot and by boat.

The British House of Lords member made this public statement , at a Forum discussion recorded in front of an audience , mostly consisting of British Tamil Forum members , at a studio in the Media House in Central London and broadcast by Press TV of Iran. A sympathetic labour member of Parliament to the Tamil movement in London , Jeremy Corbyn was the moderator of the show.

Labour Party Member of European Parliament Robert Evans, Suren Surendiran a spokesman of the LTTE front organization, the British Tamil Forum and Douglas Wickramaratne , President of the Sinhala Association of London were the other members of the discussion panel.

Lord Naseby further said , during the course of the discussion, international pressure should be brought on the LTTE to release all those civilians. He said no international pressure is necessary , as Robert Evans suggested, to declare a ceasefire , by the government. He said the Sri Lanka government is an elected government and it is the LTTE who must down its arms and surrender to bring the military conflict to an end.

The show had an ominous start when British Tamil Forum’s Suren Suthanthiran, said that a main grievance of the Tamils is that Sinhalese being the only official language . One of the Sri Lankan members of the audience pointed out Suren Surenthiran was making factually incorrect statements. He said in Sri Lanka , the Sinhalese Language and Tamil language with English are being used as official languages. Immediately responding Lord Naseby said the cry about Sinhalese language is very much dated as both Sinhalese and Tamil are used as official languages. Then Suren Suthanthiran said he was speaking about 1956.

From the audience: Why are you going back to 50 years. Is it to hoodwink? The part of the discussion on the language has been edited out when this was broadcast on . Wenesday March 11 by the Press TV.

The British Tamil Forum member Suren Suthanthiran faced an embarrassing situation when an English woman in the audience questioned about Child soldiers by the LTTE. The British Tamil Forum spokesman, in reply, kept on repeating “to whichever religion one belongs to it is wrong for one to kill another person” unskilfully evading the question. When the embarrassed moderator of the show Jeremy Corbyn, whose sympathies have been with the LTTE in the past, asked him for a specific reply for a straight question he was coming out with the same repetition turning the show into a comic show, participants commented. When a pro-LTTE woman from the audience said why question about child soldiers when so many thousands of Tamil children have been killed the reply was broadcast. She was not substantiating the statement.

It was very significant that the labour party MEP , Robert Evans was suggesting a Kosovo- Montenegro like solution for Sri Lanka at a brief moment of the discussion. But the pro-LTTE MP who has been repeating LTTE slogans in the past did not say how the LTTE is going to form a state from a 50 square kilometre size area from which they fight now nor did anybody asked him that question. Its population , kept under the threat of gun, are constantly running away from the area at the risk of life, according to reports.

But Lord Naseby immediately reacted to Robert Evans by telling that the vast majority of Tamils living in Sri Lanka do not want a two state solution. And he said when the British were seeking a solution for Northern Ireland they did not consider a two state solution.

The British Tamil Forum spokesman said they wanted a two state solution for Sri Lanka ’s problem.

Sinhala Association President Douglas Wickramaratne said that it is ridiculous people talk about a Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka since 60 percent of the Tamils live outside the Northern and Eastern provinces of the country. He said over two thousand years, Sri Lanka has been one unitary country governed under one king.

He further said since1985 Sri Lanka has been negotiating with the Tamil Tigers. He said during this time the LTTE have used every ceasefire to rearm themselves and prolong the war . Wickramaratne said a duely elected government under a democratic system has every right to suppress terrorism hurting the people.

A paediatrician who did not announce her name and spoke from the audience said she has had personal experience of dealing with the parents of child soldiers who have left Northern and Eastern provinces just because they feared that their children would be kidnapped by the LTTE. She said children are being kidnapped for war by the LTTE as UNESCO reports very clearly show.

More than 50 Sri Lankans who expressed that they wanted to participate in the discussions by email did not even had the courtesy of receiving a reply. An organizer at the studio said there had been too many emails to be replied to. But all prominent British Tamil Forum members were there to be seated and allowed to ask their propagandist type questions. Ultimately, they did not make any results since neither the questions nor their representative’s replies failed to make any impressions. (EOM)
