Demanding justice for the Eezham Tamils and international action against the genocide-accused Sri Lankan state, a social activist from Kadaloor (Cuddalore), Tamil Nadu immolated himself on Monday. Citing police sources, the PTI reported that Mani, a 41-year-old social worker of coastal Nallavaadu village in Kadaloor district, doused himself with petrol and set himself ablaze at the Collectorate complex, raising slogans against Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and demanding that he be tried in the International Court for alleged war crimes. Later reports said Mr. Mani succumbed to his serious injuries at the Kadaloor government hospital. Separately, there have been protests in Chennai against Sri Lanka in the context of the upcoming session in Geneva.

An elderly farmer was in the Emergency Ward having stitches put in his hand, due to an accident with a piece of machinery.

The doctor carrying out the procedure struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually the topic got around to Politicians and their role as our leaders.

The old farmer said, `Well, you know, most Politicians are `Post Tortoises`.``

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a `Post Tortoise` was?

The old farmer said, `When you`re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that`s a post tortoise.`

Each time I hear the term Sinhala Buddhist uttered in today`s context I can`t help but feel an uneasy sense of foreboding tingle up my back. To me it sounds like a time-bomb waiting to explode. As a Sinhalese and a Buddhist by faith I have every right to ask What on earth is a Sinhala Buddhist anyway? Is it a branch of the Sinhala race? Is it another nationality in Sri Lanka under the Buddhist flag? For I`m confused!

We are today nothing but a nation of dysfunctional lab-rats used by myopic and selfish politicians over the years. In their laboratory of politics they carried out their deadly political experiments by injecting us with various sociologically toxic viruses that generations of us have been carrying around and spreading, oblivious of its long term repercussions. These deadly political experiments commenced soon after we gained independence from the British and go on unabated even today!

Udurawana rushed back angrily to the grocery shop from where he had
purchased a packet of butter a few minutes ago.

`Where is my free gift?` he shouted at the shopkeeper. `But Sir, there is
no free gift on the purchase of butter.` The shopkeeper answered politely.

`Don`t fool me,` replied udurawana, `it is clearly written on the packet of
the butter `Cholesterol free` but you gave me only butter`.
