Actually, I live in a small nice village called Batadwa , 15 minutes from Galle town on the south coast of the beautiful nature island. On my way home, seeing many wonderful things, many different sorts of people, I make a nice conversation with some and quiet chat with the neighbors, trying to playing with the kids, joking all the time with those who seem sad and not happy.
On my way home, I visit the beach side of Galle town, seeing the old boats leaving slowly to the ocean, how the fishermen cooperate together to hold the boat, saying "Harry Harry " laughing and drinking, singing, screaming. Nobody can prevent them to live and enjoy the rest of their life.One time I was speaking to a fisherman. The first question often to all the foreigners in Sri Lanka is, YOU ARE FROM SIR!?
I said to him, I'm from Palestine.
Ohhh Pakistani, very nice country! You look like it from your beard.
I repeated in a high provocated voice: Palasteeeen, in a different pronunciation
OHHHH Palasteen ...Arafat country-
Yes, yes -
!!! Always suffering from the Israeli -
? Sometimes, tell me what you know about Palatine -
Palestine is a small country in the Middle East, president is Arafat, occupied by the Israelian and the American-
-Hahaha what you said first is right, but we are occupied just from the Israelian, as far as I know !!!!?
He got little bit angry and after that he said: Man, not only those who occupied the land are the occupier.
Explain more please?
-I'm a very old poor man son, but my experience in life made me know many things, knowing how to think clearly, how to discuss and argue with those who are different with me, and judge the people.You seem a simple man; you need to know much more about how to evaluate the things in your own surroundings.
Don’t think my son that you can only see the fish in the ocean. You can see small fish in the beach, but if you dive in the deep regions, you can see many creatures, not just the fish, and your vision will be clear after this. What’s your name sir?
William -
Nice to meet you, I'm Shandipan. William, listen, you don't have to see an American soldier on the Palestinian ground to say that the Americans occupy Palasteen, like Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran after 10 years.
The Americans are more clever than that, and also they have all the resources and the wealth to do all the bad things against the people who do the opposite of their thoughts. All of these things they do under some things called defeating terrorism. They are all the time supporting what is called Israel, supply them with the most technological weapons, bombs, for what man ...how many martyrs fall down during the whole period of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?
How many wars did Israel make not just against the Palestinian, but with Lebanon, Iraq Syria and Egypt...don't tell me that they were fighting alone, hahaha surely not!!! The Americans were behind them in all the ways. -
William you have to know that the first enemy for the Arabic person is the other Arab.
-Could you Shandipan explain to me how we are enemies as Arabs to each other, I don't think so?Hey man.. I worked in Saudi Arabia for 3 years, I know how many difficulties the Arab face in their second home and how they hate each other, this time called business time …if I don’t take benefits from you, why do I have to keep you man or help you !!
And the last question and the most important one HOW many Arab countries can you visit William without visa …just to visit L
The conclusion of my speech is that, we live under the jungle rules, those who own the power and the money eat the weaker ones, they always says human rights , human rights and i want to say we have to demand the animals rights first...because in the final consequence the world start to lose its conscience "when do we have all to walk up man man !!!
Time of "maloo, maloo" fish in sinhala ,we have to feed our children ,nice to speak with you ,come again if you are interested to know about our nasty reality .
