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....

There is no God. But still I Pray...

1. Who is God? Simple. God is an imaginary and cultural entity! No God in the world sprang up suddenly. There is a real story behind every God. Believe it or not...Gods too evolved and progressed, influenced each other... Story of religions is a simple example. For that I need to elaborate about the Gods of West and later East. The concept of "prophet" and "son of God" is an example. Judaism is one of the oldest of all religions. It is the first to introduce the concept of prophet/son of God. Moses liberated Jewish slaves from the clutches of Egyptian Imperialism. It is believed that he received ten commandments from God and he is a blessed one. And the concept of prophet/son of God starts here. Great culture of Egypt believed in multiple Gods, it is no wonder that their slaves believed in one God and expected a liberator an exact opposite to their master's belief. Now large number of Jews live around the world. Israel is a Jewish nation. Their important book ...

Shame to be a man

I have been always proud of being a man. I used to believe that as a man I am mentally and physically strong. I always had a strong male ego. I used to have the same mentality towards women like everybody used to have from my part of world. As everybody I was brought up in a way that made me believe that as a man I am above women. The flawed society in various forms like mass media "cinema" reinforced the concept again & again. Like most of the men I saw them inferior, sex icons, weak, dependent, less-intelligent...etc., etc ., The moment of realisation... I always proud of being a man till that very moment of realisation struck in my mind. This stuff is personal, but not really a personal one. Here is that very moment... My wife was carrying a baby baby. One night she told that baby is kicking... It is the first time she is feeling it so strong...I laid my hands on her stomach to feel the baby...my baby hit my hands...he was moving & shaking inside...I felt like cry...
