Sri Lankan National anthem sung in Tamil
PS
As a student at Hartley College, Point Pedro, in the early 1950s we sang the National anthem, in Tamil. Those were the days, long before the love for the nation, was hijacked by the politicians for their own despicable ends.

"I did not on this day forget,
The bitter years of oppression and of evil
But in a blinding flash I understood,
It was not I but you, who suffered and waited,
No, I have forgotten nothing,
But even the dead and the victims,
Will rise from the grave at your call;
We will all rise, and not I alone.
Bitter,all-forgiving, bright-
My motherland with the wreath of thorns,
And the dark rainbow over your head...
I love you - I cannot otherwise -
And you and I are one again as before"
Poem written by Olga Berggolts, Russian Poetess imprisoned by Stalin earlier, and released to help fight the Nazi invaders in the 1940s. From '900 days - The siege of Leningrad' by Harrison Salisbury
Irish Painter
email from JKS Weerasekera
A painter by the name of Murphy, while not
a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist.
Over a
short number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over Ireland were
coming to the town of Miltown Malbay, in County Clare, to get him to paint
their likenesses.
One day, a
beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo and asked
if he would paint her in the nude.
This being
the first time anyone had made such a request he was a bit
perturbed, particularly when the woman told him that money was no object;
in fact, and she was willing to pay up to £10,000.
Not wanting
to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the
house to confer with Mary, his wife.
They talked
much about the Rightness and Wrongness of it.
It was hard
to make the decision but finally his wife agreed, on one condition.
In a
few minutes he returned.
"T'would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus," he said "The wife says it's okay. "I'll paint you in the nude all right;
But I have
to at least leave me socks on, so I have a place to wipe me brushes."
Got to love the Irish!
