I am thanking you for your message. The president is very wise man. He is knowing how to separate the dog from the puppy and puppy from kitten.

Of course I will be performing standing up, but on the man lying down!

And I am always protecting the small man and the small woman but before protecting i am making them smaller. Then they are easy to protect.

And I am very humble person also. You can always be finding me at the feet of the president.

First of all I am thanking you for being taking your valuable times to write here. Now you are got promoted to a full minister of ‘Pubic Relations’ and something are you going to tell us the pubic duties you are hopping to perform? Are you going to be willing to be perform standing up to the person or lying down humbly like a real pubic servant? Are you hopping to be the protector of the small man and small woman? Why is the King always defending you like a puppy? That man said you go mad before God(s) punish you, but that man don’y no that you are a brave-heart person who don’t scared of the gods of their goons!

“Those whom the Gods want to destroy they first drive mad.”

Bad news for the Chef Thillak ????

I have no idea about how the kiribath was funded, with public fund or not. If public fund is inappropriately spent for the occasion, it is a separate matter, otherwise I don’t see any wrong of it, when the particular incident is taken separately.

On the other hand I don’t think it as a massive expenditure in regard to government expenditure. Expenditures of this scale are done even by small scale business units of this country, keep aside a government. Further, considering the explicit and implicit objectives of the event, my assessment is it is worthy of the purposes and going in consistent with the declared vision of the government, though I have no idea whether the vision is genuine or not.

The government declares that it aims country to become the “Miracle of Asia”. To achieve this seemingly high up goal, the country as a whole must have very high soaring vigour. The country and its people must have a high national pride. We must have national symbols to show to the world that we have reasons to be proud. Our cricket team showed this to the world with a massive expense. We spent much on our boxing players in international tournaments no other than this purpose. We sent Susanthika to train her in the USA. India is spending billions on space exploration projects while millions of their people are starving, and without having even the basic education facilities. I don’t think the vision, objectives, policies and strategies of a government should be simplified to a “simple equation”.

Rajapaksha may be wrong in all his vision, but what I have to say is making kirbath is not a waste and it is in consistent with his vision for the country. Uplifting National Pride is a first and foremost condition in any massive development plan of a country, that had/has a long backward mentality due to various negative attributes. If you have the right mentality, in my view half the game is won. Without it you will never achieve any.

Thanks!

Don’t be worrying the Chef the Thilak. He is only trying to break record. And he is not telling what is the whole record which is to be making big cake when there is big starving in the country. He is too modest-like to be telling the whole story.

The Sanjana, I am happy you are giving the figures about the UN feding the peoples. I am telling president this is very good but not enough. We must be getting UN to be feeding all the peoples in the country all the times so that we can have all the foods for making bigger cake and having bigger party. All the times.

This is wasteful! The issues of the IDP’s and all others who strive hard to earn a decent wage should be the main focus for all of us.

At least you made a pongal shoru instead of a kiribath.

Sanjana, thanks for the breakdown.

Spending counterfeit incentive
Wasting precious time and health
Placing value on the worthless
Disregarding priceless wealth
You can wheel and deal the best of them
And steal it from the rest of them
You know the score, their ethics are a bore

Eighty-six proof anesthetic crutches prop you to the top
Where the smiles are all synthetic
And the ulcers never stop
When they take that final inventory,
Yours will be the same sad story everywhere
No one will really care, no one more lonely than
This rich important man, lets have your autograph
Endorse your epitaph
