Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

As usual Aani enterprises had eyes and ears in the corridors of power. This is for LNP viewers only. Don`t go by what ST and SF say. This is the authentic news.

This is in Sinhala (MR speaks English only with Hilary Clinton). One of our Sinhala brethren please translate.

This is the recurring nightmare of Ponseka`s driver!

Kural Venpaa

Thuthipporku valvinaipom thunbampom
nenjil pathipporku selvam palithuk kathithongum

nimalar arul kanthar sashti kavacham thanai.

Kaappu

Amarar idar theera amaram purintha
kumaranadi nenjeh kuri.

Some one said it is for keeping Bush (and the Republicans) out of the White House.
But our also ran Dr. Mahinda Ji shot himself in the foot by denying visa to the Swedish FM:((

Our love has changed
It`s not the same
And the only way to say it
Is say it..it`s better

I can`t conceal
This way I feel
For all the times we spend together
Forever just gets better

Seem what I`m try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it`s better

I stand by you
If you stand by me
I think it`s time that I reveal it
Cause I believe it
It`s better

Seem what I`m try to say is

Life is short. Lest we forget!
Be kind while you can...

Beautiful song and words.
Don`t know the singers, music director and actors.
And could someone translate please for the benefit of our Sinhala brethren:))

See this film if you can. It will change your hearts.

Today is Vijayathasami.
It is a time for renewal, regeneration and revival.
It is a day of new beginnings. It is a day when tradesmen start new ventures with their tools, farmers sow their fields, and people start their kids on new learning projects, including teaching to write.
Let us hope that as a nation, we can leave the past behind and move on, to a new era of peace, justice and equality.
The series of clips is a cartoon depiction of Ramayana. Enjoy:))

EVANESCENCE LYRICS
`Missing`

Please, please forgive me,
But I won`t be home again.
Maybe someday you`ll look up,
And, barely conscious, you`ll say to no one:
`Isn`t something missing?`

You won`t cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn`t something missing?
Isn`t someone missing me?

[Chorus:]
Even though I`m the sacrifice,
You won`t try for me, not now.
Though I`d die to know you love me,

With so many Veerayas armed to the teeth and asking for kappam in Jaffna, this could easily have been Jaffna.

But I am not claiming that this video is that of a Veeraya tormenting a Jaffna shop keeper.

Dear Laptop,
We know you did bad things. But we are willing to forgive you, provided you hand in evidence of war crimes.

You were embedded with the soldiers and we know that you were privy to many atrocities. You probably have photographic, video and other recordings of the activities of the soldiers that have been unseen thus far.

You have also made friends with many soldiers in the front line. We know that the soldiers carried cell phones and many have made recordings for their private circles.

Rambukwella threatened channel4 with legal action. Then the Veerayas staged demonstrations against the TV station.

But look what channel4 has done!

Then the PM has the Guinness record of being the only PM ever, to be fingerprinted and detained while in office. And the foreign Secretary (of all people) has his visa rejected.

What is the Junta`s response: Kohonne threatens the EU! Next they will send Mervyn to channel4, like they did to Rupavahini and Sirasa.

The noose is tightening. Thugs beware!

Beautiful song.
English subtitles explain the lyrics.
Don`t ask me the film, singer, lyrics or story.
:))

Twenty years for writing. Probably better than death (like Lasantha).
There was another guy who gave VP a 250 year sentence! He was eliminated by his own kind. Then we have a CJ who loves to play Bon Jovi (BJ) in his car but bans the showing of a movie about incest.

The Court orders the petrol prices to be capped and the President over rules it. The Court orders the dogveerayas to vacate the so called `High Security Zones` which were in fact many villages - and Ponseka refuses. The Court orders the IDPs to be released but the Junta don`t budge.
