2009 Ends..

2009 has been a momentous year for Sri Lanka.. 2009 saw the end of a once thought an unending nightmare for Sri Lanka , the LTTE.hence in my view the best pix to describe 2009 is above..

The dead body of V.Prabakaran,the leader of LTTE laying with part of his head blown off symbolized the end of 3+decades of pain and suffering of all peoples of this country..and thus we walk into a new decade ..a new dawn for Sri Lanka, free of its cancer..

Good riddance 2009 ..good riddance LTTE ...

Remembering the Tsunami-5 Years on..

Google Earth image of Hanbantota town taken 28th January 2005,just over a month after the dreadful Tsunami of 26 December 2004..Sea entered the Bay and washed everything in its path all the way to the Lagoon..thus taking away many lives.. loved once..livelihoods...

My friend Granvil still wonders about his Wife and two Sons..day in day out he is seen trying to catch a glimpse of his two small Sons in the murky waters of the Maha Levaya Lagoon..time heals they say..5 years on.. Granvil is still a broken man..time stood still for him i guess..

Someone upstairs please bless this man to move on..end his suffering..

This is to you Granvil..

Wishing all a Peaceful and Happy Christmas...

Wishers coming from a long and empty transit hall of a South East Asian Airport..alone and tired.. dreaming of home.. saddened by lost connections and canceled flights.. angry over no visa's and restrictions ..dreaming of lights burning bright at home..

I hope you all are enjoying the spirit of the day wherever in Sri Lanka today..

Best to you all...
