Dying for Nothing

I used to watch Eelam war from my school days. I used to study all the war news of Srilanka published in Tamil, English news papers and magazines. I read about history and politics of Srilanka to understand Eelam struggle. I knew all about Sinhalese chauvinism and righteousness for tamil self-determination. I knew all the historical events that led to offshoot of violent struggle from non-violence. All these made me a supporter for Eelam cause from my college days. I did support LTTE because there is nobody there to fight for the Eelam in reality. Against my inner self which told that violence cannot succeed on it's own, I too believed that Eelam can be completely achieved by armed struggle. Without any doubt the Tigers too believed it. But they made a mistake. They believed it too much. Whatever obstacles they came across they used arms to shatter it. This led to a single historical mistake which changed the course of eelam war. I can simply say that when Rajiv Gandhi was killed by them at the same minute the hope to Eelam also died. The defeat happened at that moment not now. By killing him they lost the support of India and very very importantly Tamils in India. They also did a second big mistake they never took any steps to kindle the passion of Tamils in Tamilnadu. Or atleast I will say when they were militarily superior they might have tried to forge an alliance for peace talks. But they always believed in arms. They are powerful and ideologically oriented superbly. But they are not able to sustain as a conventional military force.
Whenever any news comes about a dead Tiger it makes my heart sad. Whenever I hear a Tamil civilian is killed by Sinhalese army it makes me depressed. Till now in the war more than 30,000 Tamil Tigers has lost their lives. It brings me tears... The dream of Tamil Eelam is at end...It's no more a reality practically... A 30 year armed struggle seems to be in a dead-end.... With tears I ask the god.... Did all the Tamil Tigers and the Tamil people who gave their lives fighting for the Tamils died for nothing ?! Answer me....

Identity crisis...Are you a Tamil ?

Are you a Tamil... then you are a terrorist... First I will tell you a story. There was a Srilankan Tamil in Colombo. He had a high post in Sinhalese government. He is educated abroad and from wealthy family. He never felt that he is a Tamil. He stayed apart from Tamil politics. During the 1983 riot every Tamil family in Colombo was attacked. The Sinhalese mob had voter list in their hand. From voter list they found Tamil names and the address. They killed thousands and raped hundreds like this. Our highly educated pro-government guy was also attacked. He pleaded to the rioters that although he is Tamil he always worked with Sinhalese. The rioters did not listen. They stabbed him and molested his wife. The moral of the story is even though you did not identify yourself as a Tamil, the enemies will consider you as a Tamil. The moral is not just a moral. It is very real. Do you know why the Srilanka navy shoots Indian fisherman? Do you know why the Pakistan navy never shoot Indian fis...

குழந்தைகளின் புன்னகை பூ....

[I dedicate all these below poems to my kutty papa Jagan.

" "காரணம் சொன்னார்கள்... கனவில் தெய்வங்கள் வந்து ஆசிர்வதிக்கும் பொழுது குழந்தைகள் தூக்கத்தில் சிரிக்குமாம்... ... குழந்தைகளை தெய்வங்கள் ஆசிர்வதிக்கின்றனவா அல்லது தெய்வங்களை குழந்தைகள் ஆசிர்வதிக்கின்றனவா?!"                                                           - ராஜேஸ்  (Children talk to themselves; And play with themselves; like this universe; which created itself; from void by a bing bang) (Life makes us doubt; close relatives and dear friends; but c...

Mind has its own mind...

Mind has its own states. We can say that it has its own mind. (Like body has its own body... wound heals itself, digestion happens on its own) For example when we are in a problem and know the solution to it... Then we say to ourselves that this will be solved by so & so... But it is obvious it will not make your mind happy... Mind will keep on worrying about it... still it exhausts itself or problem gets solved... So mind has its own mind... The logical mind is not its controller... So what to do...don't let down... Keep your logical mind instructing your emotional mind... Then emotional mind will start to obey after some time... because mind has it's own mind :-)
