I remember the very day that President Premadasa was killed.. We were at home, not too interested in " May day" and the Photo ops that provide for the basted that ran and continue to run our country. They want to give out the massage... " look, we are among the people... , we represent them...".
(The fact that most the people were paid to be there, doesn't really go with the theme of representing the workers....but we will put that aside.. for the moment..)
May be he was after a quick flash of public approval .... may he was sadistic basted that killed a lot of people... or may be he was a man who according to some has a very clear idea of where our country should head towards. What ever the truth is.. I salute him as he was our president.. I dont agree with him. But I respect the law abiding tax payers who voted for him.
Why, you may ask.. a trip down the memory lane to talk about a man who has no bearing on the present situation ( I know,.... that is a questionable.. statement..)
Well.. I will go back to where I started.. I remember the day he was assassinated. Various reports came in with different accounts... I remember a man pissed drunk rideing motor cycle shouting
" keselwather Gorakaya Iwari..." ( if you dont understand, dont worry.. its not important..)...
UNP supporters claimed that he was unharmed.. and some other claimed he was blown bits.. some claimed the white handkerchief he was holding was sign that he felt threatened..
(yes, a voice in my head too.. seem to shout... get to the Fucking Point.. )
Point is this.....
They ( SLAF) have bombed the X-ray camp... which meant to be Prabakarn's hideout.. Is he dead? According to the Tamils community in "London".. which is quite far way from Killinochi, I might add.. he is alive and well and government is trying to spread rumors..
According to the government.. Prabakarans goose may well be cooked..
Who is right ? When will we know.. ? ....
Answer to that question is simple.. Some one I love and admire very much, by the name of Sherlock Holmes once said..
It is a Capital Mistake to theorise before we have all the facts..
We will wait and see..

Is it British to spell bastard as 'basted'? Anyways yeah we were in hiding on that day. I remember crying, cos I liked the guy. I liked his rhetoric and the fact that he penetrated the social hierarchy all the way to the top. He was an inspiring asshole. He was in no way suitable to be a president. A vicious and triangulating politician. Still he was very interesting. Kind of the way Hitler was.
