Pigeons and Religion
 
This was an email I received

Pigeons and Religion

Yes we are all human being first and then religion comes next.

How many fanatics will understand this?

In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on the roof top.
 
When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby.

The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.

Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a face lift.

All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place.
 
They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby.
 
The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily.

It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted.

All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.
 
One day the pigeons on top found some communal  clashes below in a market square. 

The baby pigeon asked the mother pigeon "Who are these people ".

 The mother replied; they are "Human beings".

The baby asked, "but why are they fighting with each other".
 
The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.
 
The Baby pigeon asked, "why is it so? 

Look, when we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons.

 Similarly they should be called just '
Human beings' wherever they go".
 
The mother Pigeon said, 'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.

These people are yet to experience God.
 
Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other".

Reflect!

Average Meeting in CEYLON, a Ruse for a Feast in the University

 

Average Meeting in CEYLON 

This piece is to make some critical comments about our way of dealing with Public Meetings.

1. There is lot of Time Wasted on Lighting the Traditional Oil Lamp.
 
We have to burrow one.
Components include:
Lamp with a 5 wick tray
Bundle of wicks
Coconut oil
Matchbox and a candle 
 
We have to purchase oil, wicks and the ornamental flowers.
 
I was involved in lighting the lamp only once in 15 years. 
 
May be after the tsunami tragedy. 
 
I did not fancy getting coconut oil on my finger tips. 
I have stopped using coconut oil on my head hair. 
My mother used to anoint me, on daily basis as a kid with traditional fragrance added to the oil. 
 
I had a big bush of hair, then. 

Coconut oil is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal and is the best oil on this Planet. 

As at present, I believe in natural head hair oil of mine. 
However, it is drying up with age.
 

Next time wasting involves Greeting the Invitees. 
 
One has to have a list in hand and make a tick as one greets each invitee with the invitee raising his or her hand.

I banned my name to be included in that list.

I sit on the last raw to see how things progress without disturbing the progress of the meeting. 
 
I did not like the meeting to drag on beyond the schedule.

Lately, I introduced time limit for each speaker and saved time for type of "Round Table Conference" in the middle.

The third is the Thanking Ceremony.
I have no problem with this. 
Since the main meeting is over one can thank till cows come home and everybody who is nobody is leaving the place in rapid succession. 
 
Some time, there is nobody left except the organizers.

My major concern is to clean up the place on the same evening so that the auditorium is ready for another session.

I banned using it for Meditation Sessions.

Thinking Ceremony 
No accommodation for Professor De Bono's Thinking to Think Mode.
We have no capacity to think. 
 
We are gullible listeners.

I left the most important thing to the last. 
This is something, I learned from Professor B. N. R. Mendis.
 
Throw a Party, in the middle when Round Table Conference is due.

Feast with the slightest opportunity was our moto.

That all depends on the money left.

Cake for the occasions is invariable.
The menu I decide.
 
Good Cup of CEYLON TEA of my choice.
 
Sweets, pastries, milk rice and banana,  kokkis and oil cakes if available.

One third is supplied by the Dean's Office.
 
Rest is by the staff members.
 
I even added chocolate to this list.
 
We were poor to dish out cashew nuts at lib but at least the milk toffee had few pieces of cashew embedded.

දං ගෙඩියට ඔලුව තැබීම

දැන් දංන් ගෙඩියට අපරාධ කරුවන් යවන්නේ නැත
දං ගෙඩියේ කුරහන් අබරන කාලයක් එළබ ඇත 

චින්තකයන්,

සත්‍යපාලයන් 
රට පාලනය කරනවිට, මෙවැනි සංසිදීයන් විය හැක 

මේ නවලෝකයේ ධර්මදාස නම් නෙවෙයි.

ඒවකට‍, හිර ගෙදරවල්වල්  මිනී මැරුවන් ගෙන් පිරී යනු ඇත.
රතු තීරයෙන් පන්නපු ආයුධ ටික මලකඩ කන්න දිය නොහැකිය.
දැන් යුධයක් නැති නිසා 
ආයුධ පුහුණුවට තැනක් ස්ටාපිත කළ යුතුයි.

හොදම තැන හිර ගෙදරය.

හිර ගෙදර වූ අමනුස්ස ගාතනය කෙනෙකුට දැකිය හැක්කේ එවැනි පසුතලයක් මතය.

හිර ගෙදර තදබදයට වෙන විසදුම් ඇත්තේද නැත.

ඇමතිතුමා කටගානට බි්ල හිටියේ මෙය වෙන බව දැන දැනම සිටිය නිසා වෙන්න ඇති.
 
මට කියන්න ඕනෑ වෙලා තිබ්බේ, ලංකාවේ දේශපාලනය කිරීම දං ගෙඩියට ඔලුව තැබුමක් වැන්න කියලා.

නමුත් ඒ වහරේ, වටිනාකම අලුත් ආණ්ඩුව වෙනස් කරමින් සිටිනවා විය හැකිය.

Sand and Cement to Rock Solid

Sand and Cememt are the basic ingradients of our Building Industry.

I have no idea of how these elements are manupulated in Ceylon.

When we built our house on a narrow strech of land these items were very cheap and Bank Loans were easy. 

I took only one loan before the age of 55 and I could not settle it as intended with my paltry University salary.

Besides, my salary in the University was paltry. 

Since, I loved teaching and I continued to serve the University but nevertheless I fought hard against Mahinda Rajapaksa to change our salary scheme. 

Chandrika did nothing even though I had not joined University during her tenure. 

I was in Private Sector doing odd jobs but my plan was to join the University at the first opportunity.

1. Cement was under Rs. 100/=.
Current Price Rs. 2500/=

2. Sand was between Rs. 300 to 500/=. Prices are high during rainy season.
Rs.30,000 to Rs. 50,000/=.

3. Metal or crushed granite 
Rs. 400/=.

Current depending on the size and quality 
Rs.15,000 to Rs.25,000/=.
Granite Sand (ගල් කුඩු ) Rs. 20,000/=.

During the period of construction of our house,  all the items went up in price specially the sand.

While this was going on I was having Fish Tanks nearing 20.

I was interested in seasand for my ornamental tanks.

I built my own cement fish tanks from my childhood so I was not alien to sand and cement.

I quickly did a mental calculation and realized using granite sand was a good option and cheap, even though lot of cement is consumed due to poor adhesive quality.

In the long run I saved money.

Of course, the Retaining Wall was my own physics design. I think and believe that, there is no other like it in the entire country.

By the time we finished granite price also went up steeply.

I have gone through the mill and my comments about sand mining in Mahaveli River are contextual.

There is another enlarged piece under floodplains.

The irony is now we are away from Ceylon and it is a wise decision.

Constipated Opposition Politics in Ceylon

Constipated Opposition Politics in Ceylon


Constipated Opposition Politics in Ceylon
I should write something political today.
Having had an extended sleep, I woke up fresh with new ideas, for the opposition parties (U.N.F), so that they can to pull up socks and have a coherent opposition strategy to save democratic norms.
We are heading the path of Myanmar and Un Suu Kyi’s defense of army is not an acceptable norm in politics.
One should not mix religion with politics which is happening daily in this land of many religions.
Politics should be divorced from all forms of religions,
Especially because monks / (priests in other religions) are forgetting Buddha’s teaching (other teachings) and acting in divisive politics including having four or five sectors of Sasana based on caste system (there is no caste system in Buddha’s teaching, it is borrowed from our Tamil Kings of yo).
I have no qualm for monks taking a political stand but once they take that stance they should drop the saffron garb.
It should be a knee jerk reaction of wisdom. 
They should not do both and lead to conflict of interest in legal terms.
 
Opposition
Regard to the opposition they should form an organization like Unite Nations Organization and unify minorities.
If we do not protect the minority rights to have a political voice, we are going back to the past of trauma and human right violations.
Taking Buddhist monks into the fore of this organization (U.N.O) is a political liability.

It should be named as United National Organization.
United National Party should be a party within that Organization.

The name front (U.N.Front) is inappropriate since we do not see the back end (in other words, the motives or vision) of that front.

Coming to power is not the only motive.

Organized opposition is mandatory and J.V.P is practically dead if they do not join this Organization upfront.
In opposition parties disintegrate, not if they are organized.
We must prevent a monk becoming a President one day.
That is their political motive and NOT to spread the word of Dhamma and Wisdom.

Constipated Post of Presidency and Constitutional Conundrum
I was following the “Attempt to Impeach President Trump” who was elected electorally (not by the number of popular vote cast - but by the bizarre system of electoral colleagues of USA).
Having listened to the democrats, I was emotionally constipated and switched off CNN telecast.
To begin with President Trump was an astute businessman, fabulously rich (he does not need any remuneration from US Government for his survival except the status of pomposity extended to any individual with empirical narcissist ideology) with powerful twitter control of his emotions.
I do not mean he is narcissist but upfront capitalist with some good ideas (NATO sharing responsibility-swipe at France and German leaderships and withdrawing troops from Afghanistan) and some bad ideas (meddling with Iran and Middle East and one state solution for Palestine).

One of his twitters can stymie a month of deliberation in the house controlled by majority democrats.

It is pretty obvious it is not a constitutional issue but a constitutional (political) conspiracy to oust an opponent, bringing a constitutional conundrum albeit veracity.
It is a foregone conclusion that attempt to impeach will be rejected with full force of the Senate.
Spending so much money and time with Christmas bells chiming is an absolute waste of human resources.
It is time that American public realizes this precocious and precarious entanglement and take control of the public funds and divert them for better outcome like education and health care.
We also have a similar post here and ever since it was instituted and fully established we became poorer and poorer and our national debt extend up to 100 (steps of 40, 60, 100) years, now.

Every sworn in President promised to abolish it but did sweet nothing for over 38 years!

I have a saying that if we “Abolish The Post of Presidency” (real white elephant) for 10 years, we can improve the transport system including introducing a few domestic air lines, for people in the North, instead of giving India our air space to drop Mysore dhal (Parippu) in a crisis.

War and Peace

Real Polities and WAR

War and Peace 

Let me be forthright from the very outset.

I am writing this as a simple Buddhist who is totally against any war anywhere on this Planet Earth.

Hatred begets hatred.

Loving kindness brings harmony.

In Ceylon we had over 35 years of political hatred under JRJ (UNP) and Sirimovo (SLFP).

These two parties and their collateral, ruined Ceylon. 

The breakaway offshoot parties from these two parties still carry hatred in Ceylon including LSSP, CP, MEP and JVP.

There are 80 odd registered parties in Ceylon and one is headed by a monk.

According to Buddha monks should not take part in politics or should not give advice to Kings, Queens and Presidents.

The latest in this development are Wira Wansa Associate Conglomerate and Champaka's new party of descent (Hate). 

These two are offshoots of the old JVP lead by Wije (Wira) Weera who started a armed revolution in this country when there was no need for such action.

Then there was no racial animosity in existence.

He started hating India to begin with.

It is believed North  Korea was instrumental in creating this party of descent who used killing opponents in broad day light, as a political stunt and tool.

Now, I believe, India created both JVP and DJVP. 

Less I talk about LTTE is better and it was a party of HATE from its origin and it systematically  exterminated, all the other Moderate Tamil Parties.

TNA is the remnant collateral.

I have nothing but admiration for Mr.Sampanthan for his political stamina.

He is no more.

By the way, I do not understand how the Tamil political parties evolved in the North. 

They were obviously created in India to begin with.

Muslim parties analogy is simple.

When two dogs fight, the small dog steals the flesh of politics.

Here is the entry point for CIA.

CIA used Indian RAW as its collateral in creating descent in Ceylon just like in Ukraine 

 India hated Ceylon and feared Ceylon would supersede Singapore as a power keg of the Indian Ocean.

USA was eyeing Ceylon as a military base.

I know it as the first hand information by coincidence since,  I protected the satellite in the surgical theater as a piece of surgical equipment not willingly but unknowingly.      

It was hidden as a surgical equipment when the previous doctor in charge was the head of the clinical unit. 

This doctor fled to United Kingdom fearing recrimination from the DJVP.

I was hanging around without a job during trouble times and I gladly filled his place. 

India created DJVP (second RAW creation and the earlier creation was LTTE) in 1988-89 to scuttle the launch of this satellite.

Indira Gandhi was the architect of the first but I am not sure of the second, may be Rajiv Gandhi.

Only difference in Ukraine was it armed the Neo Nazis and Bandera in Ukraine for over a decade (equivalents to JVP and DJVP).

Both Republicans and Democrats without exception helped to create Russophobia.

CIA and MIC (Military industrial Complex) were direct beneficiary but they have now met their nemesis called Russians who withstood Nazis, during the World War II. 

I have sympathy for average Ukrainians who are refugees in Poland and EU countries.

Of course, historically Poland had to stomach spill overs.

Coming to India and Indians they did not provide refugee status to Ceylonese Tamils.

In fact,  there is step brotherly treatment of Tamils of Ceylon but Indians gladly take their dollars.

The typical Political Duplicity of Indians.

Currently, India while buying cheap Russian fuels and selling them back to EU countries 3 times the stock price is asking for a seat in the Security Council.

It is the real Geopolitical Duplicity.

Pakistan and the rest of the neutral countries should oppose double dealing Indians, and there should NOT be a place in the Security Council for India.

China obliterated Tibet.

Dalai Lama is a lame duck. 

China fought two wars with India for a narrow stretch of land and should not be given a seat in the Security Council.

Instead South Africa deserves a place in the Security Council.

WHO is a colossal waste and should be abolished for the reason, allowing CIA to operate lethal viral laboratories in Ukraine to kill President Putin. There would have been over 22 experimental laboratories over there. When war broke out, the first thing Russians did was to take over these facilities with tell tale evidence and WHO is numb and dumb about these experimental laboratories which they have probably authorized, in the first instance.

One need not do anything to resurrect USA and UK personnel who suffer from radioactive injuries that they may have acquired while handling the Depleted Uranium. 

Let the guys/girls who masterminded these operations die of lethal cancers.

France should be allowed to have Nuclear Plants in every city but they should not be allowed to buy Uranium from outside sources, at all. 

They should dig and mine Uranium in France.

Not in West Africa.

No gas and fuel from Russia or any other country to France and UK until all the Depleted Uranium is utilized in the War Zone of their choice. 

Above points are raised to show not only India but all except a few EU countries are Duplicity Giants.

This piece is not complete unless I make some references to Israel and Muslim conflict. 

Both religions are essentially similar, 

God based. 

One branch arise from a legitimate child and other branch from an illegitimate child from same father. 

The father was called Abraham.

Their God, I think was an intermediary by creating another hybrid child for humans and gods. 

I am a guy who believes in, that the God has no relationship to human evolution.

If there was a hybrid child it would have been from an alien species who visited this planet millions of years ago having had sex with an evolving primate species.

By the way, the age of this planet is not 7000 years as according to the Bible and Quran but this planet is much more ancient and revising these texts according to at least the Sumerian artifacts, if not scientific is mandatory.

By the way, these two texts have many editions and are constantly changing with time.

Archaeologists and writers are born liars except for a few.

This comment applies to Bagawath Geetha, too.

I have a request for President Putin.

We took 35 years to end our war of attrition and we are totally bankrupt. 

He should end the War (attrition till next Presidential Election in USA is prudent) soon, on his own accord with a Strategic Bomb (ideally no Nuclear and that is how we finished the World War II in Japan). 

But here it is to avoid the World War III which is annihilation of all and sundry, near the border of Poland or on the head quarters of the Military Alliance of the EU, lest Russia too, go bankrupt with Esoteric Missiles of mass destruction.

Otherwise, MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction!

Postscript

Please note, I am not in Ceylon currently and if I post this post in a local post I will be categorized as a terrorist.

All Ceylonese are by default born terrorists thanks to our robust constitution.

I think Ceylon should not have a constitution but let our monks deliberate Security Council Debates, on monthly basis in every village in Ceylon and the UNO should fund these rabid monks.

By doing so, (debating security) as rabid dogs,  fighting each other, they will exhaust their inbuilt anger and spent up steam, while the rest of the citizens can exercise their free and democratic rights only in their residential domains, if they possess any of their own but not rented out.

According to proposed amendments to the constitution tenants are terrorists with no legal rights.

In the alternative each monk should be provided with a Steam Deck and Drive with a big overhead TV to play "War Games" in preparation of the Security Council Debates.

By the way, Steam Deck iso was out just today. 

It cannot be installed on a PC.

I have another proposal!

The rent for University Students should be raised by three times the local prices.

By doing so, we can reduce the number entering the Universities drastically and then having more dons than undergraduates in every university that fails to function with perennial strikes.

These perpetual strikes were created by NPP/JVP

The dons themselves can create creativity perpetually without students asking valid questions.

Trigger Mechanism of the Crisis and our Industrioal Action

 Reproduction

 Trigger Mechanism of the Crisis

Because of our industrial action, I have decided not to share publicly, except privately, any humour, anecdotes and many amusing stories, that crop up when we do not Care for Work, like politicians, take a real vacation even though, it was premature by 6 months and enjoy the life as if there is only a few days to live in a year when the World is predicted to end as predicted by an Oracle.

But the focus was only on the Strike in spite of many obstacles.

Telling all my near and dear do not get depressed but try creativity which politicians lack and teach them a lesson, even it is not the time and the midterm of a aimless regime except glorifying and consolidation of the power base.

I was of the opinion that midterm was the best time to take industrial action since one can get a sleeping, lethargic and partisan administration to change its ways and be responsible and responsive. 

There was no pressure for those in power politically in midterm and extract what ever it may be desirable.

Equally, one can “Test The Mentality” of those in power and their corrupt officials giving them wrong and ill advice strategically.

I also warned them that it will  eventually take a political trend which I am technically or strategically against but not morally though, since there are many who will piggyback on US and take political mileage.

In a democracy if we remain silent and passive partners, the the cradle of democracy will crumble.       

It crumbled since Tamils were silent when atrocities were enacted on them from both sides of the divide..     

It is going to crumble if Muslim and Sinhala communities remain passive participants. 

Thank god Muslim community has realized it even very late.

They are been globally and systematically suppressed by American and British engineered propaganda which France is cohesively and covertly participating.

All due to OIL but nothing but OIL, the energy crisis looming.

I also told when politics not policies takes precedence, the final outcome is dicey and it will be a long drawn out and painful “Industrial Action” for both sides of the divide.

There is no Win-Win outcome.

The longer it gets into the deep end of the rotten and muddy pool of politics, the worse the outcome is.

Slowly and surely the bureaucrats have muddied the pool. 

All my predictions have come true except a viable solution.

This long preamble is to explain the newly coined name of our newly adopted grandson who is a squirrel who even had not opened its eyes. 

Again the full story will come after the strike is over and one has to wait.

We have kept a diary of him and that will come out when we are back at work, academically.

I need some diversions from the main stream to wear my creative hat in full gear.

After I have attended to the emergency need half with my wife’s help, I was out in the town enjoying the new found Freedom.

I let the tiny one relax and go to sleep since my wife had frightened it so much, only sedative I could assure was dark room conducive for sleeping. 

I went to sleep myself and when I got up, the next thing was to name it.

GO was vital and I had decided that it had to GO when he is ready.

I won´t get attached to it.

TRI is that it had to survive the from CATS, and my DOG and Ants.

It also has stripes not three but many on its back.

I made a note on a little notebook for my daughter to attend and again went back to town to find a suitable pen.

Quite by accident the name ringed on my mind, the way we handle Reconciliation.

We are like CATS, DOGS and SQUIRRELS,

They cannot live in one house or in a restricted pen. 

We are so deeply divided, this country will never prosper.

TRIN-GO reminds me, the election results of the TRINCO, too.

Without any amendments the new name was endorsed by the adopted family and the poor  squirrel family has to be satisfied one minus but soon the juvenile will be roaming on rooftops and trees.

The question is why cannot we enjoy our new found Freedom?

Why it is only for One Dominant Party?

Why there is no reconciliation but only power politics?

Political power when absolute takes away prudence and cohabitation.

We are worse than CATS, DOGS and SQUIRRELS.

In spite of the oddity in nature they somehow survive near human habitation. 

Only rarely one has to intervene.

When one is young, blind or injured we have to help.

Soon he has to be released to the mother nature.

That was my resolve and no attachment.

One should not get attached to Power, too.

Even our Buddhist monks are deeply entrenched in this Power Game. 

That is the sad part and we do not have philosophers to take their place.

Even the philosophy of live and let live is hijacked by the modern Buddhists. and their political leaders.

Why?

I do not know.

The Story of the Squirrel

 

The Story of the Squirrel
It is fitting to finish this book with this story.
In fact this story hastened me to write before other books that I was planning for sometime.
Fortunately, if happened during the prolong industrial action and I could record the story briefly for posterity with the help of my wife and my daughter.

Family Crisis, TRIN-GO the Trigger Mechanism of the Crisis

TRIN-GO was the newly coined name of our adopted grandson who was a very tiny squirrel who even had not opened its eyes.
We  kept a diary of its progress not with any intention of including it in this book but the unexpected events that unfolded had made me to do so, and in fact hastened writing this book.
After, I had attended to the emergency need (half of the rescue work by my wife) I let the tiny one relax and go to sleep since my wife had frightened it very much, the only sedative I could assure was a dark room conducive for sleeping.
I went to sleep myself and when I got up, the next thing was to name it.
GO was vital and I had decided that it had to GO when he is ready.
I won´t get attached to it.
TRI is that it had to survive from the CATS, and my DOG and the fiery Ants.
It also has stripes not three but many on its back.
I left a little notebook for my daughter to keep the records and again went back to town to find a suitable PEN.
Quite by accident the name rings on me the way we handle RECONCILIATION.
We are like CATS, DOGS and SQUIRRELS,
They cannot live in one house or a PEN.
Without any amendments the new name was endorsed by the adopted family and the poor  squirrel family has to be satisfied one minus but soon the juvenile would be roaming on rooftops and tree as bird.
We are worse than CATS, DOGS and SQUIRRELS.
In spite of the oddity in nature they somehow survive near human habitation.
Only rarely one has to intervene, when one is young, blind or injured.
Then, we have to extend some help.
Soon he has to be released to the mother nature.
That was my resolve and no attachment.

Diary of the Young Squirrel

Few pages of the diary are here with very little editing.
Day 0ne-1
Friday the 21st of September 2012.
TRINGO is a bundle of energy.
He climbs up to the rooftop of the hurriedly made and fabricated playpen.
He takes only 3 drops per feed.
Last feed was at 11.50 A.M make and some fresh milk needs to be prepared at at4.30 P.M.
He has not passed water / urine and appeared very dry.
His stools are dry like squashed, parboiled dry rice.
Day Five-5-Tuesday 25thSeptember
Opened its eyes and may be about five weeks old.
Day 9 -Saturday, 29th September
Weighed 20 grams.
Day 11
Barely able lick milk on the anatomical snuffbox of the dorsal aspect of my hand.
Day 12
Able to reverse backwards,
Day 13
I made a mess while feeding and his under belly and tail was soaked with milk which I attributed wrongly to his urine.
Tiny drop of urine on my hand but very concentrated.
Gives a signal before voiding bowel which were soft and yellow.
Still weighs 20 grams but 21 grams after a feed.
I had to spend over two hours since he was very active and won’t settle down in the pen.
First jump when left on the bed on its own.

Tears down my dog’s eyes

Why?
I was playing with the new guy.
Yes, for three days he had tears in its eyes.
Are you neglecting me because of this new guy?
That was the message my dog planted in my eyes.
Able to nibble at soft banana but not able to swallow but takes the juicy part and still not ready for solids.
Needs coxing and guiding.
Unable to find food on its own except milk.
Loves fruit yogurt.
Very active won’t go to sleep.
Climb up and down and wonder away and not able to define its sphere of activity and returning to the base.
All together  two and a half hours play time and no winder my dog felt sad for himself.
Very well settled down. Grooms and talk to self and listen to external sound attentively.
Day 14-4th October
Becoming independent.
Able to find food on a tray but goes into panic mode when feeding is discounted.
Grooms on its own but not not the tail.
Self assured and no wondering in the pen aimlessly.
Tail still not straight or fully formed.
Alert to the presence of me or my daughter.
Has not gained weight probably due probably to its hyperactivity.
Teeth growing but unable gnaw guava which was hard for its teeth.
Loves ripe banana.
Day 15
Sleeps well when he has had a good meal.
Feeds more in two sittings.
Loves fruit yoghurt.
Day 16
Very talkative.
Say no and able to refuse food.
Loves to wonder around aimlessly.
Day 17-7th October 2012
Teeth visible.
Feeds OK.
Voiding OK.

ගහපු බෙරේකුත් නෑ, බෙරේ පලුවකුත් නෑ

 

ගහපු බෙරේකුත් නෑ, බෙරේ පලුවකුත් නෑ 

අනුරටයි, ටිල්වින්ටයි, කරදීනල්ටයි කියන්න තියෙන්නේ ඉහල උපමාවයි.


ඔඋන් කරපු සද්දෙට, මුළු ජනතාවම රැවටුනා.

අරගලය කියන්නේ පල්ලියෙන් ගහපු කෘමන්ත්‍රණයක්‌ යන්න මගේ වැටහීමයි. 

හැබැයි බෙරේ පලුවක් නෑ.

නමුත් කවදාවකත් චන්දෙයකින් දිනන්න බැරි රනිල්ට පොඩි පොට්ටේ චුන් එකක් ලැබුනා.
 
මාර පිනක් ඒක.

ලංකාව අසමත් රාජ්ජයක් වීමට හේතු බුත වූ කාරණා

 

 ලංකාව අසමත් රාජ්ජයක් වීමට හේතු බුත වූ කාරණා 

ලංකාව අසමත් රාජ්ජ්‍යක් වීමට හේතු බුත වූ කරනා එමටය


1. පරිපාලන ව්‍යූහය පැය 24කින් ඉන්ගිරිසියෙන් සින්හලට වෙනස් කිරීම 


2. සුදුසුකම් නොමැති අයට උසස්පෙලේ තනතුරු පැවැරීම 


3. අදිකරණයෙ මුලපුටුවට නේවිල් සමරකෝන් සහ සරත් න් ද සිල්වා වැන්නෙකුන් පත් වීම 


දෙන්නම ලෝගුව දාගත්ත කපටි උප්පර වැට්ටි කාරයෝ. 


ඉතිහාසය විසින් ඔඋන්ව හරි තැන පෙළ ගස්වනු ඇත.


5. "සුර සේන, පුග්ගලයා නඩු තීන්දු දුන්නා වගෙයි" යන මගේ ප්‍රස්ථා පිරුල මන් මැරුණටත් පසුව, ජිවත් වෙයි කියලා, මට නිකමට හිතෙනවා.


අපේ අසාර්ථක බව හෙළි කරන කරුණු පෙළ සියයට වඩා දැන් වැඩිවෙලා.


කවුරු හරි නාමාවලික් ලෙස එය සකස් කළ යුතුයි.


දැන් ගොඩ ඒමට අපහසුයි.


අනේ අනි්ච්චන්.
