"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."

Reflections

"...The tie between information and action has been severed. Information is now a commodity that can be bought and sold, or used as a form of entertainment, or worn like a garment to enhance one's status. It comes indiscriminately, directed at no one in particular, disconnected from usefulness; we are glutted with information, drowning in information, have no control over it, don't know what to do with it...The computer is an answer to the questions, how can I get more information, faster, and in a more usable form? These would appear to be reasonable questions. But now I should like to put some other questions to you that seem to me more reasonable. Did Iraq invade Kuwait because of a lack of information?.. Does racism in South Africa exist because of a lack of information?.. Here is what Henry David Thoreau told us: "All our inventions are but improved means to an unimproved end. And here is what Socrates told us: "The unexamined life is not worth living."" Neil Postman in Informing Ourselves To Death, 1990

Tamil Diaspora - a Trans State Nation

A Tamil Mother, Wife, Daughter and a Refugee writes from Ottawa, Canada: What can I do? - Sharing my thoughts with the Tamil Diaspora "The plight of our people has been steadily reaching newer levels of pain and suffering. And, after being an observer with a hands-off approach, I decided to do something about it. I became proactive - in small ways. As a mother of two young children living in Ottawa, Canada and having many commitments, it was not easy to change my inaction - but I did. I firmly believe now, that if we all do our little part and started working towards a common vision, that vision will and must materialize. I realise there�s spiritual element to this as well, and of course some people are skeptical when it comes to these things. But I still wanted share my simple suggestions at the end of this article, with other ordinary people who, like I used to be, are a bit lost when it comes to how they can help..."

... together with Comment by tamilnation.org "We are privileged to publish this article by a Tamil Mother, Wife, Daughter and a Refugee in Canada. During the many years that tamilnation.org has existed we have rarely received a more authentic, touching and moving call for action from a Tamil in the Diaspora to the Tamil Diaspora. We publish also an easily downloadable and printable PDF version of the article - because we truly believe that every Tamil in the Diaspora will gain much herself/himself by returning to read this article from time to time.

Reflections

C.N.Annadurai"...It is claimed that Hindi should be common language because it is spoken by the majority. Why should we then claim the tiger as our national animal instead of the rat which is so much more numerous?... ...A man had two dogs - a big one and a small one. He wanted his dogs to go in and out of the house freely without him having to keep the house door open all the time. So he built two "trap doors" - one big trap door for the big dog and one small for the small dog. Neighbors who saw these two doors laughed at him and called him an idiot. Why put a big door and a small door? All that was needed was the big door. Both the big and the small dog could use it!.. Indian government's arguments for making Hindi the official or link language of India are as ridiculous as the need for a big door and a small door for the big dog and the small dog... Why do Tamils have to study English for communication with the world and Hindi for communications within India? Do we need a big door for the big dog and a small door for the small dog? I say, let the small dog use the big door too!.." C N Annadurai, 1962

Victor Rajakulendran writes from Australia On the APRC, President Rajapakse & the International Community together with Comment by tamilnation.org "Mr.Rajakulendran is right to trace the history of the ARPC and President Rajapakse's twists and turns to survive in power. Said that, we ourselves continue to hold the view that the international community is not so foolish as to be 'fooled' or 'hoodwinked' by President Rajapakse. The international community is not stupid...The actions of the international community need to be understood in the context of the "International Dimensions of the Conflict in Sri Lanka" and in particular the international community's present concern at the JVP-Chinaward tilt/dependence of President Rajapakse. Today, the international community's actions are directed to pressurise President Rajapakse to fall in line with IC interests in the Indian Ocean region. And if and when President Rajapakse's own left of centre Sinhala nationalist political constituency (which is his power base) permits him to fall in line with IC interests, the international community will be content to allow President Rajapakse to perpetuate Sinhala rule of the people of Tamil Eelam through mechanisms such as the 13th Amendment..." more

Reflections

"...A thousand years ago, Sun Tzu remarked that all war is based on deception. Today, 'liberal democracies' who go to war, extend that deception to their own people as well. Faced with the need to secure the consent of their people, they set about manufacturing it. Partial truths, and on occasion, outright falsehoods are put out for public consumption so that public opinion will be supportive of the action taken by the ruler. Usually, many years after a war is over, classified documents are released into the public domain - and journalists and historians dig up the facts. The cynicism of real politick is then admitted, and even condemned - until, ofcourse, the next time..." Nadesan Satyendra in Nato, Kosovo & Tamil Eelam, 1999

We understand their tactics, we haven't underestimated their strength either... Once the fire of freedom is lit, there is no turning back; sacrifices are part of this decision, and our people fully understand this...We have to have a clear view of what diplomacy means. Whether Sri Lanka allows diplomats to visit, or when Sri Lanka stops diplomats visiting Vanni, they are trying to achieve the same objective. That is to find ways to advance the self-interests of Sri Lanka and the host countries of the visiting diplomats. It is wrong to think that allowing diplomats to visit Vanni is in the interest of LTTE; we should not entertain such delusions..." more

Reflections

Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - Jayalakshmi Satyendra�Do not seek the Guru outside you, in hermitages or holy places. The God in you is father, mother, preceptor, and friend... Action is spiritual practice, when it is done as seva. The service attitude is most beneficial to the person rendering it as well as to others. Service is the best use to which the body can be put. In fact, you are not doing service to others. You are doing it always to yourselves, to the God in you, the God who is equally present in others." - Sathya Sai Baba

"Changing discourse within which something is thought, spoken of and acted upon is a very powerful approach.." Professor Galtung

Tamil Nation Library: Conflict Resolution - Revisited

Solving Tough Problems: An Open Way of Talking, Listening, and Creating New Realities "...Increasingly we face issues for which hierarchical authority is inadequate. No country president can resolve intractable political stalemates that stand in the way of national development... Faced with this reality, we see everywhere a growing sense of powerlessness and an increasing reliance on force. The former reflects awareness that the big issues are generally getting worse, not better; the latter, a desperate response to this awareness... Adam Kahane's book poses a third option: a transformation in our ability to talk, think, and act together... While this third option is commonly dismissed as idealistic and unrealistic, Adam's belief in this possibility has been forged in the fire of some of the world's most complex and conflicted situations....We are unable to talk productively about complex issues because we are unable to listen... Listening requires opening ourselves. Our typical patterns of listening in difficult situations are tactical, not relational. We listen for what we expect to hear...We measure success by how effective we have been in gaining advantage for our favored positions. Even when these motives are covered by a shield of politeness, it is rare for people with something at stake truly to open their minds to discover the limitations in their own ways of seeing and acting. Opening our minds ultimately means opening our hearts. The heart has come to be associated with muddled thinking and personal weakness, hardly the attributes of effective decision makers...When a true opening of the heart develops collectively, miracles are possible. This is perhaps the most difficult point of all to accept in today's cynical world, and I will not try to argue abstractly for what Adam illustrates so poignantly. By miracles I do not mean that somehow everything turns out for the best with no effort or uncertainty. Hardly. If anything, the effort required greatly exceeds what is typical, and people learn to embrace a level of uncertainty from which most of us normally retreat... It is about discovering how to act in service of the whole, not just in service of our own interests..."

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Wittgenstein - the aroma of coffee
"why can't we describe in words the aroma of coffee?"

"...all the propositions of logic say the same thing, to wit nothing. To give the essence of a proposition means to give the essence of all description, and thus the essence of the world. The limits of my language mean the limits of my world...What can be shown, cannot be said.There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them - as steps - to climb up beyond them. He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it. He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright.
