First Tamils,Muslims Next,Now Hindus SriLanka

Sri Lanka seems to be in a self destruct mood post LTTE.

They first targeted Tamils,divided the Muslims of Indian origin from the Tamils,Then started attacking Muslims, including the burning od Mosques.

Now it seems that it is the turn of the Hindus .

In a comedy called History a joker has been publishing articles that the Tamils were Buddhists and Jains first and late became Hindus!

"Tamil Saivites who believe that Tamil and Saivism are inextricably intertwined are troubled by suggestions that Tamils were once mainly Buddhist and Jain before Saivism took root after the seventh century AD as the Thevaram Period began. Many Saivites whose ancestors converted at the time think Tamil Saivites who converted to Christianity in European colonial times are traitors."

This merits only laughter.

For I understand that this as natural , if coming from a man descended from a Lion!

But from a Tamil who is licking the boots of racists?

Is this guy Raj Narain or a Lalu Prasad Yadav to shower jokes?

At least they were/are harmless buffons.

“Dogs Are Buddhists

I am always surprised at people talking a lot about Parenting.

I recall an instance when a leading school invited me for a Seminar as Faculty on Parenting organised for Schools and Parents in Chennai, around 2009.

Knowing my views and quirkiness in addressing a meet , I politely declined.

The Correspondent of the Institution where I was Management Consultant insisted I attend and confirmed me as a participant.

Being a good friend of the Correspondent I attended.

There was a lot of talk and discussions on parenting

When my turn came , I spoke thus,

'Ladies and Gentlemen,

All of you are assembled here to listen to a talk on Parenting.

Animals, and even lowly Life, beget children and they bring their children up.

They do not attend a seminar.

That's my talk.

Thank you"

I am always surprised at people trying to study parenting!

They leave children to baby sitters and attend seminars on parenting!

Now the story beats even this.

Digs are replacing children in Hong Kong and Singapore.And worse dogs are being declared as Buddhists.
