During my travels I have been in touch with Both Srilankan tamils and the Sinhalese. <BR/><BR/>The general consensus is that things are going to get worse once the army offensive in the North dies down. More suspicion on Tamil civilians, more suicide bombings, more suspicion, more funding from abroad and the vicious circle goes on. I wonder if these will ever end.<BR/><BR/>The only struggle I remember which came to an end was the Khalistan one. All others seem to carry on endlessly.<BR/><BR/>To compare the fears one feels while boarding a plane with a struggle that has spanned decades and claimed thousands of lives is not done.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a safe tripSoul Searcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332722802993607254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-78333535530915017812009-02-14T15:57:00.000+05:302009-02-14T15:57:00.000+05:30nice one maam.... btw, happy valentine's day !!nice one maam.... btw, happy valentine's day !!Ankur Kakkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16918103449487828085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-28638617468803435502009-02-14T15:37:00.000+05:302009-02-14T15:37:00.000+05:30Madam your article in today's deccan chronicle is ...Madam your article in today's deccan chronicle is very interesting.<BR/>Thank youNews Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747953080071928021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-13898012164504134602009-02-14T10:27:00.000+05:302009-02-14T10:27:00.000+05:30Quote "And frankly, Shobhaaaaaaa, you stink."Well,...Quote "And frankly, Shobhaaaaaaa, you stink."<BR/><BR/>Well, Umashankarji, you've to really wait till madam Shobhaa De ji revisits her blog to favour you with a response on your comment.<BR/><BR/>Nanda<BR/>http://ramblingnanda.blogspot.comThe Unadornedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010721483561440174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-89670264831578971592009-02-14T05:22:00.000+05:302009-02-14T05:22:00.000+05:30Have a safe and lovely trip!also, please consider ...Have a safe and lovely trip!<BR/><BR/>also, please consider taking the word verification off. it is a pain, because I have to type the word correctly nearly 4 or 5 times (!) before the system lets me through.

I probably will have to stay content with filling the forms...cause there has been no response from the authorities till now. Surprise & disappointment will have no place in my dictionary from now on, because I've realized that everything is a game. Elaborating on the security measures taken at the Mumbai airport, let's say, u, I & everyone else share the same story. I find it absolutely ridiculous to whine or complain, it makes me feel stupid. Again, everything is a game. Strangely, in this game, there are no winners & there are no losers.
