Murali DIES!!!!

Its a sad day when one of your role models pass away. Murali Was a prolific actor that lent his tale ts to over one hundred films over his vast career. Arguably his greatest performance was his debut film, Aadharam where he burst onto the scene as a legitamate star than can carry a film through the summer months, as those are notoriously the hardest months to get attendance up in theater due to the scroching sun and the apparent lack of air conditioned cinemas in the country. Murali was also known for his charity towards the city he hailed from, chennai. He routinely made sure that his whole neighborhood was fed during the various festivals throughout the year, making sure stomachs were full and the children had toys to play with. Even though he was a Hindu, he made sure the local Tamil was treated as well as the others in the community. Murali was at the hieght of his career when he made the film Thalolam. This piece of cinematic art is by far one of the most underrated Tamil films of all time in my opinion. What hindered the accolades of the movie probably had something to do with the fact that it was considered very contreversial at the time. The political thiller was not critically acclaimed because of the stance it took against the current prime minister's advisors, most particularly Lenin Rajendran; who was known for imtimidating the press and making sure there were no damning articles that tarnished the reputation of the government. After some time to let the mesage sink in, it is know widely accepted as a classical examaple of film noir.

The official cause of death was attributed to a heart attack that put him into cardiac arrest. He was not known to be either a big smoker or heavy drinker, and was president of the chennai tennis club for seven years, from 2002-2010.

Murali has an unreleased movie that is due out in the winter, entitled kavna. Historically, films with dead actors in it usually do well in the box office, like how Heath Ledger made the Batman: Dark Knight a blockbuster hit. Arguably it could have been a hit without the death of Ledger; but one could argue that his death helped contribute to the success of the movie as a whole.

Dangerous development in Sri Lanka to build 1-GW nuclear power plant .

Who is going to assist Sri Lanka to acquire Nuclear technology ?
This is an absolute dangerous development in Sri Lanka given the close close associations of the GOSL and the first family with unreliable and rogue regimes like Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, and Libya.
Pakistan and China who provided both legal and illegal weapons to Sri Lanka to finish off the LTTE Tigers have all the nuclear technology to build nuclear plants which can also produce nuclear weapons.
China has deep pockets to develop such secret projects without even international supervision.

The President has already snubbed the western powers last year as confessed by the Editorial in the Island, whose editor is well known to be close to the administration of the GOSL. There has been no retraction by the newspapers no denial by the GOSL or foreign ministry that the President avoided phone calls from the State Department, British Government, EU officials, Norway and snubbed India.

There are already elements of the Sinhala extremist in the Cabinet and government. Those who were members of the rebel group the JVP. One of their leaders of the 1971 insurrection and who was jailed was a cabinet minister, until last year, when he was injured in a bomb incident in deep South, near Hambantota. What type of elements of the radical Sinhalese would be in charge of the GOSL in 2030 when nuclear technology would be fully availbale among them? Already the radical JHU member is the minister of Power in the current cabinet.
These are absolutely dangerous trends the international community should take notice and nip it in the bud.
The International community shouldn't forget that GOSL has become a virtual puppet of China, Pakistan and Iran. What would be India's reaction to this dangerous development?

Sri Lanka to build 1-GW nuclear power plant by 2030

COLOMBO, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka is to have its first nuclear power plant within the next 20 years to generate cheap electricity to draw large investments and boost its post-war economy, a top government official said on Monday.
"We have received government clearance to set up a nuclear power plant of 1,000 MW," M.M.C. Ferdinando, the secretary of the Ministry of Power and Energy told an investor forum in Colombo.
Ferdinando said the government would begin feasibility studies soon for nuclear power in addition to coal, and hoped to get safety approval from the World Atomic Energy Authority.
"You have to have the plant and safety measures for disposal before starting the plant by 2030."
Ferdinando did not elaborate on the cost or whether Sri Lanka would get help from Iran, which has been a staunch anti-western ally of the island nation and its main crude oil supplier.
Investors have long complained of expensive electricity and poor infrastructure, neglected during a 25-year war that ended in May last year, had deterred potential investors.
The $42-billion economy, which currently depends 60 percent on diesel power and 40 percent on hydro power, is in the process of building a 900-MW coal power plant with a loan of more than $1.3 billion from China and a 500 MW coal power plant with an Indian loan.
Sri Lanka plans to cut its diesel power dependence to 20 percent of total electricity generation by 2017 once both coal power plants have started full operation. (Reporting by Shihar Aneez and Ranga Sirilal; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)

Rehabiltation of Karuna from a Colonel to a Sinhala band singer
" The government’s dirty tricks department played its due role break the TMVP on his return. Karuna soon became a minister and one of the joint Secretaries of the President’s party SLFP."
by Dr Paddy Silva(September 19, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The video clip below presented with this news will confirm the transformation of one time buddy of the LTTE leader Velupillai Pirabakaran to a drunken singer of Sinhala baila songs.Karuna’s transformation has been rapid since he severed his links with the LTTE. Past six years have been very testing time for him and his fishing expedition has finally landed him as a Sinhala singer and dancing minister of the President Mahinda Rajapakse’s rule. When Kauna left the LTTE, he was nowhere to turn. He crossed over to India and aligned with ENDLF lead by Paranthan Rajan. Soon he left the group and lived a private life with his wife and children. He wanted his children to do well and sent his wife and children to the UK. He then moved to Sri Lanka form his hideout in India and formed the TMVP with the Chief Minister of Eastern Province Pillayan.During this time with the help of the Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse, Karuna entered the UK with a false diplomatic passport issued in Colombo. He was soon caught and sentenced to six months imprisonment in the UK and thereafter deported to Sri Lanka. The government’s dirty tricks department played its due role break the TMVP on his return. Karuna soon became a minister and one of the joint Secretaries of the President’s party SLFP.With the ministerial job came about lots bounties. Liquor and attractive women completely alienated Karuna from the cause he stood for and also distanced him from the Tamil people.He soon abandoned his wife and children to enjoy the extensive luxuries provided by the government. His marriage irretrievably broke down and according to information Karuna is adopting a ‘I don’t care’ attitude towards his family members. He attempted to destroy the political life of Pillayan, but could not do so. Since his appointment as minister in the new government, Karuna has gone further to enjoy the bounties offered to him by the government. It was reported, he was found drunk and crawling on the floor at a reception of a foreign mission is Colombo recently. With his new ministerial job, he is said to be attending public functions with his guitar. He went one step further in the bending process to appease his leader Mahinda Rajapakse to become a Sinhala musician. Karuna must be having a lot actions wrapped in his sleeves. Will it be his public music and dance with his Manike holding a bottle of Mendis Old Arrack will be the next? Or will it be a dance with Mahinda or his brother gota? We are all waiting to see. Karuna and Misnister Mervin Silva will keep the hilarious part of the government going whilst the Dirty Tricks Department will carry on with its dirtier tricks camouflaged by the maverick goons.
