A New Era

We are glued to TV sets last few days watching for updates from what used to be the war front. Hopefully this is the end of a book rather than just a chapter. We are disappointed at the response from some western countries that keep tying to force another ceasefire. This may be a rare case where military can offer at least a beginning of a lasting solution to a problem that lasted generations.


What has unfolded is an immense human tragedy but we expect it to be mitigated soon. I remember the prediction of calamity in Sri Lanka after Tsunami that did not happen. The recovery of Sri Lanka after Tsunami was swift even compared to Louisiana after Katrina. Hopefully, we can repeat the same performance.


We are thinking of sponsoring an orphaned Tamil child and a child of a soldier to help heal the wound of this long conflict.

  1. Hi Machang,

    What's up - I mean other than what is on your blog.

    You won't believe what is happening here in Toronto, with Tiger supporters blocking major highways and using women and kids to prevent police from attacking them. The are trying their best to save Praba. Anyway, I hope this comes to an end soon.

    Cheers,

    RL
