THE CRACK

ලැබුවා වූ සිංහල හින්දු අලුත් අවුරුද්ද සියලු යහපත් ප්‍රාර්ථනා ඉටු වෙන, බතින් බුලතින් පිරි, case නැති, ගහ මරා ගන් නැති සෞභාග්‍යමත් වසරක් වේවා කියලා හැමෝටම ප්‍රාර්ථනා කරනවා.

මම සිංහලෙන් blog post එකක් ලියන්න ගොඩක් කල් ඉදන් හිතාගෙන හිටියත් අද තමයි මුලින්ම මොනවා හරි ලියන්නේ. මීට අවුරුද්දකට කලින් කවුද හිතුවෙ අන්තර්ජාලයේ සිංහල භාවිතය මෙච්චර දියුණු වෙලා තියෙයි කියලා. ඊලග අලුත් අවුරුද්ද වෙනකොට මේ තත්වය තවත් දියුණු වෙයි. මව් භාෂාවෙන් හැම දේම කර ගන්න පුළුවන්නම් කොච්චර ලේසිද?

මගේ blog එකේ මෙච්චර කල් හිතුන හිතුන දේ ලියලා අච්චාරුවක් වෙලයි තිබුනේ. අද ඉදන් හිතෙන වෙලාවට භාෂාවත් වෙනස් කරන්න පුළුවන් නිසා විවිධත්වය තවත් වැඩි වෙයි.

I have been to the top of hanthana several times and no need to say they are very nice memories. Two weeks back one of my room mates’ some friends arrived to our university to climb hanthana and stay a night there. I have never stayed a night there so I also joined them and here are some nice photos taken.

Yesterday I read a very unfortunate story about the high security zones within the University of Colombo. The article was in vikapla.org. Even though the article is published sometime back I got to know this yesterday so I made a little comment there. I just stated that we have the freedom to be in our university premises at any time and it’s unfair for the colombo students to make their university a high security zone.

Anyway when I checked it in the morning my comment has vanished. I don’t know what’s wrong with my comment but for some reason they have removed it. So I checked the site to see whether there’s a comment policy to find out the reasons but there’s nothing like that.

But the vision of vikalpa was stated like this. “To lead, by example, the creation of citizen journalism in Sri Lanka in all three languages, so as to enable progressive discussions on Sri Lanka’s future.” How disgusting! Is this called citizen journalism? What did you show by example? Can you call this a progressive discussion?

I don’t know how many other comments have been removed but all I have to say is that think twice before you make a comment there.

What is the first thing comes into your mind when you hear the word “students’ unions”? Protests, strikes, conflicts…? Have you ever heard of something other than that?

Actually students’ unions do lot more work but the media reports only the protests, strikes etc. So, I thought of writing some work done by our union. “Arunella” is one such annual program which consists of scholarship program, O/L seminar program and social projects. You can read about this on http://yasaruwan.gunathilake.com/arunella/.

Please don’t forget to say what you think because that’s very important for all the students of our faculty. Also I’d like to know what you do you expect and what you don’t expect from a students’ union?
