After a while

Location: Noble Park, Melbourne, North Vic.
Mood: Sorta between bored and depressed.

first apologies for the long absence. I've been touring the city of melbourne with my dad. Its been mostly a holiday for him. And I'm glad for him. I can't wait to get back to Adeliade. Being here is great, but I somehow don't feel connected and sometimes feel awfully neglected. Maybe its just my reasoning.
On Sunday I went out to visit S and D. Met them in Oakleigh and then proceed to Melbourne city. We stopped in Crown for lunch and then in central for a movie at Hoyts. I told my dad that I would be back by 7.30 ish max. and by the time the movie finished it was 9. I got into rouble coz ofr one thing it was late and for another my uncle couldnt come pick me up since the road in front of his house was closd for roadworks.

Thankfuly my cuz manged to arrange a ride for me, and I got home by 10.45 ish. Got blasted. It was wrong of me for sure but it made me realise how much I missed Adeliade. If I was there then I would not have transport probs and on a day like today I'd be chilling with my frnds. Not bored to death writing this.

Today...met up wit Aunt J. gosh. I wouldnt wish such relatives on anyone. Not even if they claim to be my enemies. left a sour taste in my mouth. Now I'm off...cant stay too long on the net. LOL

Promise a more chirpy posting soon. rite now I need a lifeline. Ciao.

TiMe to get Political

Inevitable. I have no choice. No matter how much I ignore it it won't go away. Today a hospital has been bombed...tomorrow? I don't know where..
The best part??? The hospital HAS not been shelled! Yes thats what our govt is claiming now!

Confused? So am I. While watching news today there was a report of an attack on the Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital located in the northern Wanni region by three seperate artillary shell attacks. The ICRC (international Commitee of the Red Cross) initially claimed that at least two people were killed and at least 5 others wounded in the first two attacks and many more in the third. (The New York Times, Daily Mirror)

So there we have it. Now however the MCNS director is claiming that the said hospital was NOT attacked and all the reports were simply rumors (according to the Daily Mirror report today)

Wonderful ain't it??? Its ridiculous beyond words. And the worst part??? Its the INNOCENT civilians who are the casulities.

Politics has become the rising stench in our country. The rubbish that Politics has bought into the once clean waters of justice and equality is unfathomable. I don't know if maybe I could be repimanded for writing this but I must write what I feel.

The solution lies with God. There's never been any other answer. Everything that could be done was done, every trick played. Now there are no more cards left to play. The blood of the innocent bear witness to this.

But what do I know?? Me sitting confortably and safely here in my desk in Colombo. With all the security and comforts. Im merely a spectator. All I can say is that
I know:
Innocent lives are being taken
THe war is costing our economy
There are high casualties on the part of the combatents.
The rising cost of living is squeezing the poverty line. The gap betweenthe rich and the poor is rapidly increasing

And that PEACE will not be a reality until we learn to FORGIVE. and FORGET.
