Howzzat!

         I do not endorse the method LTTE chief Prabhakaran chose to protest against the crimes against his people. Neither did the Srilankan military. That’s how the 2009 Eelam war came about where several thousands of innocent Tamils were killed. A war, of course, claims lives. But nothing explains the photos released by channel 4. Death by accident is clearly not what killed Balachander. The eyes of the 12 year old sitting in the bunker having a snack, only to be killed in cold blood in less than 2 hours, haunted us more than we could bear (I couldn’t help but cry for 2 hours straight) and have caused this uprising in Tamil Nadu by students and public alike, though three years too late.       The indifference to Srilankan Tamils is what formed the radical group LTTE in the first place.

A broken previous marriage (and heart) for him and a called off engagement with childhood friend, Sohrab Mirza for her, they eventually got married a day before. Let’s take it sportive , guys. M.F.Husain – Quatar nationality conferred, ah! at last! Let the most controversial artist spend his twilight years at peace. And finally, Chidambaram - Being the home minister doesn’t come cheap. Often being reduced to tears; constantly pressed for resignation; blamed for anything and everything that includes a dead man and a gun is the price he pays for it. Give the man a break, he really is...
