More on Bedi and Murali - All Sri Lankan cricket fans
Monday, 2 August 2010 - 3:04 PM SL Time
|
Kudos to Mr. Lionel Rajapakse for his brilliant letter titled, `Bishen Singh Bedi`( 30 July) whereby he has rightly advised Muttiah Muralidharan to ignore Bedi`s adverse comments on his bowling. Mr. Rajapakse has also highlighted number of Bedi`s idiosyncrasies to expose the flaws of the former Indian spinner.
Perhaps it would not be out of context if I recall another `gem` of Bedi`s antics. In 1990, Bengal won India`s premier domestic tournament - Ranji trophy. After a week, the Indian Test squad for the England tour was announced, but no Bengal player featured in it. When a reporter queried about the indifference meted to the champion domestic side of the country Bishen Singh Bedi, the then Indian cricket manager, retorted that there lies no law stipulating necessary inclusion of a player in the national squad hailing from the Ranji-winning team. Three summers later, it was the turn of Punjab to lift the Ranji Trophy. In the subsequent tour to Sri Lanka, the Indian Test squad did not feature any Punjab player (Of course Punjab`s Navjyot Singh Sidhu was in the Indian squad but he did not play any part in Punjab`s Ranji success because of his national commitments). Amusingly, this prompted Bedi, then Punjab`s coach, to vent ire upon the Indian selectors and questioned the selection policy by pointing to the fact that no member of the champion team of the country finds place in the national squad! So, my dearest Murali, this is the real picture of our over-hyped spinner. By according different yardsticks for Bengal and Punjab cricketers, Bedi has proved that he is nothing but hypocrisy-personified.

HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES
The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: `I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,` she said proudly, `My sales approach was to appeal to the customer`s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.`
`Very good,` said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next:
`I sold magazines,` she said, `I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events.`

DPF suspends Praba Ganesan without suspenders for betraying party, Tamils
Friday, 6 August 2010 - 1:46 PM SL Time
|
The Democratic Peoples Front (DPF) led by Mano Ganesan has suspended the membership of parliamentarian Praba Ganesan who joined the government in a surprising move Thursday. DPF termed the cross over as one which has `betrayed` the party and Tamil people during `these trying times.`
It is a clear act against the principles consistently followed by us for the last ten years since the inception of the party. Praba Ganesan has today unsuccessfully attempted to justify his act of betrayal by talking about our party`s conflicts with UNP. Our stands in respect of the government and our issues with the UNP after the last general elections are two different subjects. He cannot undo our issues with the UNP by joining the government. It is the party position, a statement by DPF said.

The Sick Relationship Between Mahinda And Ranil
Sunday, 8 August 2010 - 1:45 AM SL Time

Kissing Politicians, photo taken in 2006 by Indi Samarajiva
What is going on with the UNP? Ranil Wickremesinghe has lost every recent election for the party and wasn`t even confident enough to run in the last Presidential, making it the first election in history that the UNP hasn`t contested. Still, he clings to power and is even negotiating with the government on one side while more MPs flee the party on the other. While he got Mangala Samaraweera to abandon his party of one and join the UNP, he simultaneously lost two Tamil MPs. Indeed, many of the heavy hitters in the current government from GL Peiris to Keheliya Rambukwella are former UNPers (tho they crossed at different times). One wonders how Ranil has the gall to negotiate with the government when he can`t even control his own party.

The government says it is going to make Sri Lanka the `Wonder of Asia`. The Rajapaksas for sure want their rule to be a miracle, that no previous government could match and no future government would dare compete with. Such aspirations however, sit oddly beside the antics of Mervyn Silva.
The latest on this is the appeal made by Buddhist monks who conferred at the BMICH to re-establish Mervyn as Deputy Minister and as SLFP organiser for Kelaniya. Buddhist monks especially from the Gampaha District queued up to sign an appeal appreciating the work of `Dr.` Mervyn Silva as deputy minister and requesting the President to re appoint Silva to his earlier position, to continue with his `good work`.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) guarantees to every citizen the right and the opportunity to be elected at periodic elections to ensure the free expression of the will of the electors (Article 25). Sri Lanka, as a party to this Convention has an obligation under Article 2 of the ICCPR to ensure that all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction are granted the rights recognized in the Convention.
