Happiness and Peace
orpheus perera
Happiness and peace. Those are really the prime issues in human existence. That is what all of us are seeking. This often is a bit hard to see because we cover up those basic goals with layers of surface objectives. We want food, we want money, we want sex, possessions and respect. We even say to ourselves that the idea of 'happiness' is too abstract: "Look, I am practical. Just give me enough money and I will buy all the happiness I need". Unfortunately, this is an attitude that does not work. Examine each of these... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 20/03/10)

A Birthday Tribute Statesman,Legislator & Lawyer -Ranil Wickremasinghe,The Gentleman Politician.
By Dr.Levins T.C.Rajaratnem
PATRIOT It is a fallacy to think that only a selected few can be Patriots. We have had great many patriots from the UNP. The first in independent Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was then known) was Rt.Hon.D.S.Senanayake. Then, Dudley Senanayake and  the others who defected and formed the SLFP. The then UNP did not accuse the defectors as Traitors and unpatriotic elements.

It was celebration time at the country’s maximum security prison here, as 28-year-old Madvan Ranjani tied the nuptial knot with her former LTTE cadre heart-throb who is serving a 15-year sentence there. Apparently a determined Ranjani decided to wait long enough to marry her schooldays’ boyfriend.

Ranil – the incurable sleep-walker

Ranil Wickremesinghe’s entire political career is comparable to that of a man who takes a strong dose of laxative after dinner and then takes a sleeping pill before going to bed. Needless to say, the mixture of the two ill-conceived and contradictory prescriptions invariably ends in total disaster.  For instance, he agrees to take a dose of peace by swallowing the Norwegian laxative packaged in the CFA and then he takes the worst kind of sleeping pill of lulling himself and the nation into a false sense security before going to bed with the sworn... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 19/03/10)

Tamil Tigress in UN exposed

Introduction  The United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Navaneetham Pillay has been infiltrated and influenced by the LTTE operating under the guise of Tamil human rights activists. To sustain its anti-Sri Lanka government campaign globally, the LTTE has also obtained the services of Mr  Bruce Fein, a US lawyer, Bruce Haigh, a former Australian diplomat, and other foreign nationals.

The Tamil terrorists are a nasty bunch of tribal misfits who chase and shoot innocent civilians who run for their lives; who creep in the dark to enter adobe huts and chop the sleeping villagers to death; who pluck infants from their mothers arms while they are sucking their nipples for their feed and dash them on rocks to crack their skulls like cracking coconuts at their Hindu Kovils; who perfected the art of suicide bombing and the body pack that all other terrorists around the world are copying.
