Us & Them ...(part I)
[I started a new section called "Us and Them". Us is the opinion of a common man like me. Them is the rest of the community]
Them: A newspaper report says Ban Ki Moon, UN Secretary General, wants probe on Sri Lanka War crimes committed against innocent tamils.
Us: Yeh, right!!! Were you sleeping when artillery shells, cluster bombs, phosphorous bombs, etc. were used by the SL govt. against their own citizens? It's almost a year now since the massacre has happened and the local government already did its best to coverup the issue. It's saddening to hear from someone who is the secretary general of United Nations to bring up this issue now. Let's say even if you set up a Jury and the the Jury did prove all the malicious activities of the SL government, what power do you think you have Mr. Moon to take actions against SL? Do you think China and India will allow you to act on your will? Also, if Sri Lanka is charged with the first degree crime, then a bunch of other countries has to be charged as well for 'aiding and abetting'. Do you think this can be done? I really doubt it. It is a sad fact that no major powers like to give their support for the tamils in Sri Lanka. Else, the war would not have tragically ended the way it was ended. When the situation was very intense and more than 10000s of people were killed, I still remember what a permanent security council member told in an interview: "....the situation is devastating. The reports say more than 100s of people were killed if not 1000". This tells how UN tried to underplay the situation. UN do not even have the guts to admit the truth "at the moment". I completely lost my trust on UN during this war situation. I'm sure anyone who follows the SL situation will agree with me.
Them: A newspaper report says India plans to set up a new embassy in Sri Lanka
Us: Of course, now that the China is becoming a close ally to SL, there never was a better time for India to help SL even more. I'm sure few hundred millions of dollars of Indian tax payer's money goes north to Afghanistan and a similar amount goes south to SL under the name of "strengthening the bilateral relationship between two countries". But the sad fact is that there are more than 5000 villages in India where people are still living without electricity.
Them: Pakistan's foreign minister said in a newspaper that India did not demand arrest of JuD chief Saeed.
Us: Ha ha. Mr. FM... we have sent more than 5 dossiers of informations about the 26/11 questions that you asked. Saeed's name takes the lead during all our communications. Every common man who knew about 26/11 knew for sure Saeed is one of the perpetrators and we want to at least interrogate him. When the world around you is as informed as this, it is sad to see your statement. You guys repeatedly talked about having talks yet no tangible solution comes out of it. When I see what happened post 26/11, I must say your Govt. succeeded in handling the situation the way you wanted!!! Our diplomacy failed as expected!!!

பொய்யில்லாத அன்பு?!?!?
அன்பை என்ன தான் பூட்டி வைத்தாலும் கண்ணீரே காட்டி கொடுத்து விடும் என்றான் வள்ளுவன். அதே சமயம் அந்த அன்பை மிகைபடுத்தி கூறும் போது பொய்யை தவிர்க்க முடியவில்லை. இருப்பினும் அந்த பொய்யை கேட்கத்தான் எத்தனை சுகம்!! காற்று உள்ள வரை காலம் இருக்கும். காலம் உள்ள வரை அன்பு இருக்கும். அந்த அன்பு உள்ள வரை பொய் இருக்கும்.

Animal Kingdom...
[Forwarded email from a friend..very funny and true about research scholars!!!]
Once a man went to a Veterinary Doctor and said:
Doctor I have come on vacation for a month so that I can get myself treated fully within this period.
Doctor: I think you should go to the Doctor opposite to my clinic, see that board.
Man: No, Doctor, I have come to you only
Doctor: But, gentleman I am a Veterinary Doctor. I am an animal specialist. I do not treat human beings.
Man: I know, Doctor very well and that is why I have come to you only...
Doctor: I can not, because you speak like me, think like me, talk like me which means you are a human being and not an animal.
Man: I know I am a human but listen to my complaints first:
Doctor: OK. Tell me.
Man:
I sleep like dog thinking about my work load whole night.
I get up in the morning like a horse
I go to work running like a deer
I work all the day in my lab like a donkey
I keep on planning for new projects and thesis like a fox
I run around for 12 months like a bull without any holidays.
I wag my tail in front of all my superiors
Doctor: are you a Research Scholar?
Man: Yes !!
Doctor: Instead of telling this long history you should have told me in the beginning itself that you are a Research Scholar. Come man, no one can treat you better than me.
