தமிழ் தெரியுமா?

I have told my 5 year old daughter to speak தமிழ் as much as possible , when at home. Also, I told her to always reply in தமிழ் regardless of whether a question is asked in English or தமிழ். Recently I gave her a task to rip one page at a time (from right to left) on a notepad. She ripped the first one nicely.

Me: பேப்பரை சரியா கிழிச்சியா?
Reply: கிழிச்சிட்டேன்.

I was impressed to get an answer in தமிழ். She tried to rip the second page and it was a disaster. The page did not come off nicely.

Me: Did you do it the right way?
Reply: செம்மையா சொதப்பிட்டேன்.
Me: ?!

Terrorists attacks Srilankan cricketers

Alright, it finally happened. All along every cricketing nation was hesitant on traveling to Pakistan and we now found the reason why. Srilankan team played brilliant cricket in the series and it's unfortunate that Mahela's farewell series as captain should end this way.

Here's what Rameez Raja said when asked "On whether this threatens Pakistan's chances of co-hosting the 2011 World Cup:"
I also think it will be very unfortunate if Pakistan is the only country that is targeted. I know that this is a horrific incident but let's not forget that the entire subcontinent is caught in this wave of madness and this unfortunate incident can be replicated anywhere else. In fact there have been examples in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and in India recently so no place is safe.

It's the most idiotic comment you could ever expect from anyone. While it's true that every country in the subcontinent had some incidents recently, but that does not mean that every country is almost as insecure as Pakistan is. Even after the horrendous 11/26 attacks, India did manage to host England cricket team without any incidents. India did tour Srilanka recently without any security hiccups.

Imran Khan, back in December 2008, lambasted Indians when they decided not to tour Pakistan and even went on to say "Sportsmen are in absolutely no danger from terrorist attacks, I've always maintained that, Remember terrorists rely on public opinion and winning the hearts and minds of the people. They want to be considered freedom fighters rather than terrorists. If they are perceived as terrorists by the masses, then they have lost." Where is he now? Any comments Mr.Khan?

This horrible incident proved everyone who supported touring Pakistan wrong. Kamran Abbasi summed it up perfectly in his column "This is the end".
