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...

The Happiness !!!

I got overwhelmed to find what is the meaning of happiness when I walked through the Pub street of Eindhoven in Nederlands at 12:00 clock Saturday Midnight. People... People Everywhere... Sound of Disco drums in your ear buds... Puffs of Cigarettes fly around... Smell of fermented wine and Beer invades Nostrils... Under the shades of New Moon and Darkness colorful lights of Dance bars wheels around... Girls and Boys... Ladies and Gentleman... Grandmas and Grandpas... (sparing kids and minors) Dressed exposingly blatantly people walk around... Its so crowded... And then came the obscuring sight... In the pub street at the Centrum stands the magnificent jaw dropping church of 18 th century... A golden Cross sits at its top... Its majestic brick towers shines in moonlight... And the weirdest scenery is the big group of drunken people dancing on the courtyards of church... Its vulgar or normal... I cant tell...They are boozed and drugged (Drugs are legal in many cities of Nederlands)... Th...

The Balance - my stand on God

Is there God exists or not? Do you believe in God? These are common questions. These are political questions too. People who believe in God used to think that atheists as immoral people and atheists think the theists as irrational people. If you ask me the same question. I will tell I don't care whether God exist or not. I worship him, If I encounter any personal problem. And I reject him if "God" causes any social problem like a Tsunami or an earthquake. And also whenever people fight in name of God, I reject him vehemently. I believe religion is nothing but politics. Yes, It is an indirect politics. I believe in spirituality. I believe in saints and sainthood. But I don't believe in Religion. That is because an organised religion has all the power to make people behave and think bad. It can make them to kill people of other religion. My views might be confusing. If you think that I am a atheist, you are wrong. If you think that I am a theist, then also you are...
