Rani Mukerji (Bengali: র া ণ ী ম ু খ া র ্ জ ী ) born on March 21, 1978, is an Indian film actress who works in Bollywood movies.

Making her acting debut with Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (1996), Mukerji had her first commercial success with Karan Johar`s romance Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), her biggest hit so far, and won a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in the film.

Alwaysalion : Government Dismisses Ltte `poll` At..
Sunday, 8 November 2009 - 2:01 AM SL Time
 

Sri Lanka snubbed moves by LTTE remnants to hold a `poll` in April next year to elect members to its so-called transitional Government, saying this was another futile attempt to revive the terror organisation.

Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama told the Sunday Observer that their declared government-in-exile was a myth and so is the move to hold a poll as announced on Thursday by the US based LTTE proxy Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran. If they try to perpetuate LTTE terrorism in the guise of various other front movements, this will also be countered by us, he said commenting on Rudrakumaran`s claim. The LTTE is banned in countries including the US where Rudrakumaran who is said to have taken over the diaspora activities of the LTTE, is based.

While our boys give their life to get rid of the terrorists, the son-in-law of the Commander, Danuna Tillakaratne profits from every bullet fired in the war. As exclusive agent of the Pakistani arms dealer and ISI agent Ahmed Nissar (who stays rent free in Tillakaratne`s flat in Central Colombo) he gets 2cents for every bullet procured and 20$ for every shell. Add up the numbers ans see how this young lad has become a multi millionaire overnight. Is this what our boys are shedding their blood for?

Aani : Professor Of What?
Sunday, 8 November 2009 - 1:07 AM SL Time
 
The guy was a minor operative of the Sri Lankan Intelligence, between 1984 - 1994. He was resourceful enough to use the material he collected during his work, and publish books on the Tamil militants. These are material collected by his colleagues, risking their lives. When the going got tough in Sri Lanka, he somehow ended up through a circuitous route, via USA and Scotland, in Australia. In 2001, the 9/11 incident gave him a god given opportunity to rise to the mainstream media. He became the toast of international media for a while, making bombastic claims and predictions. All the while, he was also subtly promoting his personal anti Tamil agenda, under the cover of academic professionalism, making claimns of LTTE links to every terrorist organisation in the world. But it is difficult to survive in the competetive world of Australian academia without having the real substance in you. He was found out and disgraced and went underground, in 2003. The world forgot about him. And with the destruction of the LTTE, he was fast losing his chance to rise to prominence again. The indomitable Gunaratne does not take things lying down. He has started his rise to prominence again, by smearing Tamil refugees with Tiger balm. By doing this, he is killing two birds - coming into world prominence and also giving vent to his anti Tamil bias. Only this time, he has added the title of Professor to his name. And the University: Nanyang.

Since I finished this post earlier than expected, you might as well be able to read it now.

It is not just in the USA and in Israel that people did not learn something from the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Did you know that the longest wall of shame in the world, also called wall of death in its country of origin, is due to be completed in a deafening silence and this pretty close to Sri Lanka? Here a few details to allow you to identify the place:
