"Unnath ekai Malath ekai

Athath ekai nathath ekai
api hamada somiye innawa
deiyo dani api nodani
marena dawasa kauru kiyanawa........."

seems to be what's going through some of the Sri Lankans' minds. Certainly goes through my mind. The uncertain days are here again. I get out of the house not knowing whether I will ever see home again. There could be a bomb in the train. But we don't seem to be vigilant about it either. Can't look at all the people in suspence. However, there are moments of peace as well. All dispairs dissappear when we pass, along the rail track, the heavenly abode in Mount, with the see on the other side, not only for me but for many, where you can find solace. It drives the pains away.

Last Friday there was a rumour that there was bomb close to our work place. Nobody including myself seem to be bothered. Everyone was laughing saying "Dhhho...ng.... Dhhho...ng... Api mala". There were Army and Police personell with dogs running all over the place. The frequent hearing of the ambulance's siren is back. A man who sat next to me in the bus was telling me "Oya thamai Mahinda Chinthanaya" on hearing couple of ambulances passing by. (I think he was drunk) However I am positive that these times will pass and will not last. But who knows ??

It should not have happened this way.
It should have happened some otherway.

Democracy ? Freedom ?

The Oath of Allegiance that the soldiers take upon joining the British Army goes like this,

Those who believe in God use the following words:

"I swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors and that I will as in duty bound honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, her heirs and successors in person, crown and dignity against all enemies and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors and of the generals and officers set over me."

Others replace the words "swear by Almighty God" with "solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm".

I believe that the option given for believers and non believers portrays Democracy and Freedom. Do other countries have it? I have no idea. But this is a fine example. There may be certain shortcomings in implementing a perfect system. However, the commitment seems to be genuine.

Guess Who ??

I never knew that Woody first appeared in an episode of Andy Panda. more... I am a cartoon fan and there are no signs of stopping. Kids nowadays are addicted to Wrestling. they do not seem to watch cartoons. So we, the wannabe kids watch them,I try not to miss the Woody Wood Pecker Show on weekdays on ART TV. There are loads of other kids stuff that we watch. Some of the Sinhala versions like Soorapappa (Asterix) and Kawdaboy (Lucky Luke) are real fun. I also have a friend who can laugh like Woddy "Guess Who.. Heeee Hawwww...Heeee Hawwww"

Clay -MORE ??

The last few days saw the Claymore Mines taking their victims numbering over 50. Sounds like no point of De-mining as Re-minig seem to be happening at a faster rate. The Sri Lankan people have seen enough bloodshed due to the conflict. We've witnessed war for almost all of our short lifespan. We can coexist. Its the leaders who are greedy for power and a few brain washed maniacs who can't coexist. Why build fences around us when we all are human beings ? Are humans born to self destruct ? We would not face another tommorow if not for the brave souls who gave up theirs in the name of freedom. It'll take ages when we realize that "Front Towards Enemy" is actually "Front Towards Friend,Brother,Sister, ......"

"They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old,
age shall not wither them nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them ..."
