email from Leslie



 We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...
The best kind of friend,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!
May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message
To those people who mean something to you,
To those who have touched your life in one way or another,
To those who make you smile when you really need it,
To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down,
To those who you want to know
That you appreciate their friendship.
And if you don't, don't worry,
Nothing bad will happen to you,
You will just miss out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's life with this message




Beyond Prejudice - Sri Lanka's Unique Rehabilitation Effort

 Beyond Prejudice – Sri Lanka’s Unique Rehabilitation Effort

Imagine a situation a hardcore Al Qaeda terrorist allowed to live a normal life in the U.S. after a quick rehabilitation. Even Jim McDonald, the head of Amnesty in the U.S. would rebuke such move, calling it a grave threat to the society.

How about a rehabilitated Hamas suicide bomber allowed play for an Israeli national football team? One would say “not in this world”. Existing prejudices do not permit such imaginations.

In Sri Lanka such imaginations are not only possible but also made a reality. Sri Lanka has become the first country in the world to rehabilitate terrorists.

Look at the pictures below. Once they were members of the ruthless terrorist outfit that invented the art of suicide bombing to the world. Today they are made guilt free through the rehabilitation process enabling them to change.

This is what discriminatory Human Right campaigners like Amnesty do not want to believe.

The mind of an Indian - email sent by Kirubs


Subject: The mind of the Indian....

Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for
two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that
the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian
man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front
of the bank.

He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer
agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's
president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for
using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are
very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked
out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we
checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What
puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000'" The Indian
replies: "Where else in
New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and
expect it to be there when I return'"

Ah, the mind of the Indian...
