.... and enjoy life a bit more.
I do hope the higher-ups would awaken from their long slumbers and celebrations.. and take notice, now that university students seem to have added daggers to their study kits; now that the people of SL seem to have resorted to taking the law into their hands... everyday the newspapers bring us fresh news of stabbings, shootings and murders; where the others take the initiative (maybe in the absence of acceptable laws) and the suspect is killed...
What about all the university students turning to stabbing each other (or trying) with daggers and swords.. veritable fencing schools they have turned into... We should offer education at a prize (yes, I know it's a loooong standing argument) maybe then they will learn to use their time more profitably.
What about the suspect who was killed by villagers, coz he killed his wife and in-laws?
Heard about the prisoners turning against the government and starving themselves, just coz the army was asked to check them extra hard?
How about the Staff at Cancer hospital refusing to hand in transfer forms when the Minister threatened to transfer them coz they were on strike? What about the patients who may seriously have only a little more days to live??
How about our ministers arguing (it was on radio today morning) about what sort of sword it really was that disappeared (is it a sword, a dagger, a walking stick???) and not what they should do about finding it?

No offence, but I do think Lord Buddha, Jesus and all the others TOGETHER, would have a hard time putting our people right!!
Well, so we won the war... so now what? Do I have to peek around trees in Col. 07, hoping I won't be another poor victim of a university student clash??
And the roads are still closed almost every day, whatever the newspapers may deem to inform you....
On a better note, I caught a young traffic policeman petting and talking to two dogs near Police Park =) Some hope reins at least .... **sigh**

lol, you know everything is going to the donkeys when a minister says that it's not a sword but a '125 cm long dagger'! hehe :D
and as for the art faculty students having a go at each other, it's quite entertaining to watch it on TV... the boy on the newspaper programme on Derana today made some really good remarks about how students and especially student monks behave and should behave...
good to see a blogpost from you after a long time TSC! :D have they unblocked blogger? *fingers crossed*
yey!! yes, they are unblocked now... =) thks for yr comment, I always look forward to them
Yep like Chavie says good to see you back in action! =D
And ya that's a terrible situation in Lanka. Didn't know about roads being closed n all but I saw the commotion on TV. Geez.. I wonder what their brains are made up of.. the Unis should get rid of all peace brokers and open its doors to the poor intelligent kids who might wanna study there for real, without becoming a burden to their parents and the society.
Hopefully things would change for the better.. ne? =D
