The gentle west wind hums/ As it blows in from the lake/ Over the fields and swaying palms/ The soul songs of the waves.

The Sri Lankan situation
A friend forwarded to me an interesting article titled ‘Chinese billions in Sri Lanka fund battle against Tamil Tigers’ by Jeremy Page from TIMES ONLINE dated May 2, 2009.
I believe the initial offer to develop the port was submitted to India, by the Sri-Lankan authorities, but may be due to lack of fore sight , or due to the Sri -Lankan ethnic conflict angle or due to short sighted political views and pressure from a few or other factors, our govt turned down that golden opportunity.
