DBSJ,

Do you remember me from the mists of time at ICES?

Neelen was special as he in my limited view was possibly the only true renaissance mind of our contemporary Sri Lankan history. He was above all humane and engaged without ever becoming a bigot. He had an inspirational vigour to the pursuit of his beliefs and passions that was truly infectious.

We have had men and women of as good intellect but rarely with the moral fibre to stay authentic, or as accessible and committed to the exchange of ideas as opposed to the theoretical waffle or egocentric and often intellectually dishonest or compromised agendas of our intelligensia.

What happened to the draft on Equal Opportunity Commission -can this be resurrected ?

Shehara de silva(nee Parakrama)

DBSJ RESPONDS:

Of course I remember you well Shehara and very glad to hear from you. If you please send me an e- mail to dbsjeyaraj@yahoo.com and/or djeyaraj2005@yahoo.com I can get back to you. Hope everything’s ok with you and my regards to your brother Arjuna

Pandiathurai- 25

Thanks mate, I got the money.

Both 39. Amirthakaliyan and 46. shankar underestimated you. You had training under our Athimethau Thalivar. I mentioned about these two guys to our Thalaivar. Thalaivar assured me Pottu will take care of them. Just matter of time, you know, we don�t forgive and forget Thurokis.

We need more money. MR asking our Thalaivar to pay back all the money that was given to our Thaliavar as gift for boycotting the president election in 2005. I am sure you can help Thalaivar with this.

By the way, Don�t read too much DBSJ… you know he is RAW.

Pandiathurai-comment 25 – I am telling you again. Do not trust
46. shankar who looks like KP’s man. Maran is Nediyavan’s first cousin. I know Maran personally becos we went to school together. He is a fraud. If you send money to my account I will see that it reaches VP definitely. I promise.

We need more people like you who are willing to financially contribute to the cause instead of writing lengthy comments here. This is the problem with Tamils. All talks and no action.

Pleasesss! What is your e mail address? The more you contribute the more you will ripe from Tamil Eelam Kaapagam.

LTTE did more harm in the long run to the tamil cause than anyone else.

So we should unite to get rid of smuggler KP.

He was indeed a great loss to tamils, it was one of the worst thing LTTTE did. However, there is a lot of LTTE/VP bashing going on here. Let’s just be real, everyone talks like LTTE is only bad guy and everyone else is pure angels. Give me a break, where do I start? For the record, the biggest terrorist and evil of all is the SL goverments and its military. Each goverment were mainly consisted of racist, fascist and even some criminals. The military, bunch of thugs who burn children and women alive. Let’s not even go to the so called former tamil militant groups who became ‘democratic’ and joined the government. What a disgrace for these criminals? When I was in Jaffna during the IPKF time, these EPs were abducting teenages right off the street. That was so scary. Let’s not even talk about the attrocities and terror these groups unleashed at their own people. Criminals like Douglos are much worse than VP. And don’t forget the butcher of Sri Lanka Honorable Premedasa. and the IPKF criminals.. man what a messed up country that we are from. Everyone has blood in their hand, so don’t just bash on VP or LTTE.

I remember when I used to be a corporate lawyer in Mumbai (India) over eleven years ago, whenever any work had to be referred to a Sri Lankan law firm, Tiruchelvam Associates was the first name that came up. I don’t think Tiruchelvam Associates’ reputation has gone down even after the stalwart was brutally assassinated.

Neelan was a gentleman of the highest order who won the appreciation of even the most hardline singhalese. It is tragic that Pirapaharan was allowed to destroy so many tamil intellectuals. One can’t imagine the time, money, education spent to make a man like neelan, and it just shows that the LTTE did more harm in the long run to the tamil cause than anyone else. The road junction where he died is still decorated and is a constant reminder of the great man.

I still remember the day Neelam was killed by that
megalamaniac. I was discussing this murder with a very good Tamil friend of mine and his eyes were brimming.
So many good people were killed by idiots like VP in the past.
Neelam’s death was a very sad loss for the whole of
Sri Lanka,

I notice that there are lot of people coming out of
wood work to bag VP now. Couple of months ago,
he was a hero who sacrified his life for the Tamil cause.
According to some writers, now VP is the worst
traitor the Tamil community ever had.
Therefore, getting rid of him is a good thing and
MR & Co. and those fine young Sri Lankans who sacrified their lives should be thanked for that.
