Bag full of tricks Conjure up at the fall of a hat Fumbles desperately Scraping the bottom But nothing is left in there When one is needed most. Cheerful and vociferous Specially this time of the year Happy to lay eggs in another’s nest So it will has more time to be Happy and chirpy. Cave or Condo No matter where one lives Throwing seeds around and far The only thing The evolution ever failed to tame.

We all want to believe that none should be above the law. This is good only on paper and some are always above and beyond the reach of the law. Some rulers get away with even murder and not even get a knock on their wrist for their crimes. But unfortunate others end up in more troubles than one could imagine. There are two things that we can do in this situation. Because believing in that law is impartial and has the power to reach at anyone is just another fallacy only. The best thing is to stay out of troubles, if you have no way of joining the elite club of those are above and beyond the reach of the law.

Now the World Cup Cricket 2015 has entered its Super 8 stage and all four Test playing Asian teams are in the Super 8 stage. The fans and money is in the Asian region and I am sure it will be a big boost for broadcasters. Seeing thousands of fans clad in their favorite team’s attire swarming into ground, I could not help asking aloud the above question. Most of them are either first or second generation Aussies, but clad in their former place of domicile (or of their parents') team's attire and supporting the team (when it is pitted against their present host country) is not amounting to breach of their pledged allegiance?

Misconceived Notion of Some Tamils By Sasanka De Silva - Sultanate of Oman It is a common and general misconception that the Tamils in Sri Lanka took arms against the Sinhalese because of the discriminatory practices by the latter against the minority Tamils. There are two types of Tamils in Sri Lanka. One is the Sri Lankan Tamils and the others the Indian Tamils. The latter were brought to the island by the British to work in Tea plantations. They comprise 5.6% of the population. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan Tamils whom the LTTE terrorists claim that they are duty bound to liberate and are calling for the Eelam are 12.6%. Out of which, 6.5% live in the Northern part of Sri Lanka, 2.7% in the East and the rest, 3.4% live in the other parts of the country. If the discriminations against the minority were so prevalent then the numbers would have drastically been different.

Finding cure for AIDS, Ebola and or cancer Would be like climbing an ant’s hill Compared to Finding cure for Hypocrisy, which is of Himalayan proportion. Nalanda, Bamiyan, WTC Sydney and Peshawar too Sadly have joined the list now. The list getting longer And no cure in sight At least a respite? Unless we call a spade a spade And take the bull by the horns.
