MaWWWWWH

Ever heard a Cow howl in agony for the loss of her calf ?? That’s something I just cannot bare. Coupla days before, similar thing happened. There’s a repairing of a culvert going on close to my place. Throughout the night, with the aid of Spots illuminating the whole area, work goes on. The “BRRRRR” sound of the generator and the noise of the trucks are deafening at times. One night I heard a different noise. I knew it, yes it was a cow.

This time, it had lost its way. Since the construction is going on no one can cross that area. Only a dangerous, one foot wide pathway is available for people to carefully walk by. This innocent creature was searching for the road which treads on so frequently, not aware of the construction, or the existence of the small pathway, the entrance to which was partially blocked by a huge truck.

I dunno what happened afterwards. I sincerely hope it found its way using another road. Who knows it must’v been hungry and wanted to get home, or worst case, looking for the calf. There was no way someone could guide it through the narrow pathway, or ask it, what the problem was. Have we created hell for animals who are equal owners of the earth. Only difference I know is that Human Beings have a conscience.

The Last of It

Hell I was tagged again. This time by the Lady. This is the last of it. NO more Tags on me. Last time Miss Darwin tagged me I was furious and almost swore at her. Now yoooo.... GRRRrrr....FffWthokrFkgHrrrr.... u.. I hate the tags.

Anyhooo....

1. I believe I was put on this earth for a purpose (which I still haven’t figured out) and I would like to leave this place as a better person Than I was when I came to it.

2. I love the great out-doors. Yeah Nature…. and Camping. Out in the open, in the jungles and under starry skies is a feeling like no other. Those are experiences of a lifetime. Recently, an Elephant charged at us while observing them at Kaudulla, Habarana. But it was fun.

3. I have a Temper. Would shout, scream, be aggressive….. and get myself injured. Heh heh….But after that, its gone. NO Poison Trees. NO hidden bad feelings in the long term.

4. Pests annoy me. Simply because I need the peace of mind of being alone at times. Seeking Solitude !!

5. NO one special. Everybody means something special to me in their own special way.

6. Women…. Yeah generally attracted to Slim, Fair, Smart chicks. Not strictly though.. Flexibility is always an option as far as the inside is beautiful. Errr…. I mean the personality.

7. Don’t party often, if not at all. Not a necessity to take a shot. Only at precious priceless moments. I’m an ordinary man, and the common drink of ours would do. (Reserve, Reserve) Wouldn’t mind a prestigious shot though if offered.

Well… I’m not gonna give anybody trouble by Taggin ‘em…. Will end it here. Sorry Tagger-maniacs..... Aaaand Sloth, Darwin, Spectral, Child, Definition, Rasti, Dilsiri. Thank me for NOT tagging you......... you’re Welcome !!!!

History....Re-think ??

First time I'm posting two at once. Maybe due to the drought of posts in the recent past. Anyway here goes....

I heard an opinion on how our country got to the state we are in. Supported by statistics, It is clear that since the British left, the exchange rate (take US$ and GBP for instance) increased with sudden rises in the 60s and 70s. Basically the people who ruled the country ruined it because of their greed for power, ego and money. All of them. It is a fact that our country was ruled by a few wealthy high class families. Still is (maybe not the current leader). And all the booming businesses were handed to the relatives, friends and associates. Our grand parents’ generation would have led a quality life as they enjoyed the immediate good quality of life left by the British, even an ordinary citizen who worked in the civil service. But not the current generation of ordinary people. (I’m just unfolding this opinion, I’m yet to agree with it but the facts are true.)

It goes on to say that our struggle for freedom was not the one that brought about our freedom. But since the British had no reason to stay here after giving independence to India, they left giving independence to Sri Lanka as well. Which makes Mahatma Ghandi the orchestrator our own independence as well. This is alarming but if it is the truth, its damning. Even the rebellions that came along were a single person’s objective (dishonest of course) actioned by the youth who believed the leaders were genuine. Our country seem to have a fine line of traitors (most of them in the higher planes of society at those times) who changed their religion(for individual and political gain), who betrayed the kings and also tipped off the ordinary people’s rebellions such as Weera Puran Appu, Gongaley Goda Banda and the brave Buddhist Monks, to the British.

Enough for now I will continue this discussion in future as there are so many strings attached to this. Also it goes on to rethink our history. I kept it very brief as I'm stuck for time. I’m definitely gonna research more on this.

Say What U Wanna Say

Have this happened to you or am I the only unlucky soul experiencing this. I say what I don’t wan’t or should not have said, sometimes the total opposite of what I had in mind. Terrible communication problem. Has lightning struck my wires ?? Thing is, thoughts don’t come quickly to my head. So to keep the conversation going I say something. Hell, I can’t look blank. Once, I was asked what my hobbies were. I eneded up uttering some crap although after some hours I realized I’ve got some interesting hobbies (including Blogging) and should have mentioned those. Creepeeeee…Spookeee…

Then the eventuality, People get the wrong impression about me. (Like I can stop it.. heh heh….) That’s something I hate. But I feel I should not give it so much mind. Just be myself. Its tough to be myself sometimes. Worst part is if they think I’m wiered. The fact that I stick to my guns most of the time makes me a bit different and might add to the weird notion. Awww…. What the…

I don’t get to scan the blogsphere very often like I used to. I miss it because I miss the freedom and the carefree, commitment free atmosphere in it. Say what u wanna say, just like that. Even if I utter crap, no issues.

Long Time

Its been quite some time since I last put up a post or did a bark in any of the blogs I normally visit. Man I must’v missed out on a lot of happenings. Reasons being, Had Exams, found a new Job and the usual work at home. So there were the usual procedures of resignation and starting with the new and of course drilling a hole in my stupid brain to pour in the subject material and the calculations because, I have this habbit of going completely blank in exams. Good thing it didn’t happen this time to a large extent. Phew!! Not to forget the daily chores at home and also providing security to my cousin’s at the moment building, upstair house.

Well that was what kept me occupied and OH!! My wretched PC gave trouble and was at repairs for more than a week. So it’s with a new Mother Board and won’t believe only recently installed Windows XP!! How pathetic is that???? All this time I was on Windows 2000. What a crime!!!! Anyheehaww, I may not be able to be posting regularly as I used to because the new work could be pretty demanding. I’m not in a hurry to stop posting as its quite a jolly feeling to be in the blogsphere.

Hope everyone’s keeping well and happy no matter what problems there may be. Let then off the mind, at least for a while. I’m telling ya people, its easier said than done, but believe me its worth it !! (hey, hey don’t forget to address the issues after you come down to planet earth from the blogsphere) Damn hard isn’t it, to tell yourself “everythings gonna be alright, everythings gonna be alright “ I dunno how Bob Marley manages to say it with such ease. Great song though “No Woman No Cry” yeah eyah….

I was going through a souvenir my father got from a sing-along session featuring the Gypsies and Mariazelle. It had the lyrics of all the old time Golden Chimes. Home on the Range, Country roads, a load of Jim Reeves Classics and of course my favorite Popular Sinhala songs (Lo Ada Nindey, Sanda Wata Ran Tharu, Sala Lihini Kowul etc….) and Baila. Must ‘v been awesome to sing along. I saw the tickets lying at home but did not pay much attention. Now only I realize these souvenirs were for that event. And here’s one of my all time favorites,

“Swing Lo Sweet chariot ……
Coming for to carry me Home……
Swing Lo Sweet chariot……..
Coming for to carry me Home………

I looked over Jordan and what did I see ……
Coming for to carry me Home……
A band of angels comin’ after me……..
Coming for to carry me Home………

If you get to heaven before I do ……
Coming for to carry me Home……
Just tell my friends I’m comin’ too……..
Coming for to carry me Home………”

Going to heaven ?? with friends ??????.... hmmm…..

monawa unath….

One more…. One more….. !!!!
