Hã sanyogã viyoganthã - 'Every meeting ends with a departure _Lord Buddha


Hã sanyogã viyoganthã - 'Every meeting ends with a departure _Lord Buddha 



Dear All,  we know that we cannot  bring back the lives of very dear and near members who departed our lives. And i know that it will not be easy for all of us, entire world to forget what happened yesterday in Sri Lanka.   Even though this was something very unexpected, hereafter what we should do is to pay our, civilians' attention to our personal and country's security more than yesterdays, and years, decades gone by and try and support the security authorities to maintain peace and harmony in every way. 

footpath wish to thank every International community who stayed with us in these sorrowful moments since the moment we faced the issue. And for sending us your sympathies condolences and show your respect to our people in a very warmth and heartiest ways.  

footpath wishes every family who lost their dear and dear ones quick recovery. i pray and i hope soon, the wounds of the wounded be healed  and  fill their inner hearts and inner minds with peace and harmony!

Also the footpath wish to thank every individual who stayed calm yet supported from the bottom of their hearts and minds, the people affected by the incident and take every possible action to send them to the hospitals and for saving the lives of the wounded every possible way and every person who donated blood and staying with the members of the families hurt. 

The hon. priests, fathers, brothers and sisters who tried to calm people even though  the incident happened on the holy day hurt them a lot. Also the media who were not only reporting the incidents clearly and accurately but also took careful action to calm people at the very same time.

The French are Revolutionists.


Take our strength to raise your Strength

Take our smiles to wipe your Tears

Take our courage to build your Courage

Collect your skills to paint your Art

Take some pain to paint your Craft

Take our hopes to re-build the Heritage, the sacred church.


Yes, loosing something vital is a tragedy. What had happened
 cannot be undone. 

But rebuilding is a must and is necessary. 

The revolutionists and innovators like you it is something very achievable, I believe.


Wish you success!

Rehabilitation programmes and post-rehabilitation mechanisms

Every country has certain mechanisms established to deal with social or otherwise issues, persons affected from social etc. issues, enhance or improve moral values etc. 

Imprisoning is one of the ways that the law and order of a society punishes wrong doers. Rehabilitation programms are one of the ways to re-correct people or persons or groups mislead by a group or a person etc or persons involved in any types of offenses described by the law.

My argument is that though there are plenty of punishments described and established to punish persons, individuals to readjust or re correct persons involved in any activity to break the peace and harmony of the society, there are not sufficient mechanisms established to cater the needs of the success of pro-rehabilitation mechanisms. 

For instance if imprisoning is a punishment what would happen to the person after completing the period of imprisonment. He or she comes back to the same society that she or he was living before. If the society that they were living earlier hasn't change, he or she will not change or it is not easy for them to change or follow what they were taught or advised in the prisons. 

Therefore no authority can expect 'total rehabilitation or fully rehabilitate a child, teen or young or an adult corrupted or spoiled by the society. 

we need to have a better, efficient and effective pro-rehabilitation programme/s to establish peace and harmony socially, economically or politically or culturally. 

I do not think that the persons imprisoned earns enough money making or sewing shirts or pants etc. they should be given some financial support to start a business or cultivation or a job to live a peaceful life in pro-imprisonment period.  

Other than the authorities's methods follow to monitor some after releasing them for very specific reasons they follow no such methods to monitor released persons until at least certain period of time.

Depending on the effectiveness of the program designed to address the need; 'rehabilitation' or the content of the rehabilitation program, the society will be able to pluck the fruits and objectives of the rehabilitation programs. if the programs are or were not effectively designed, the society will not be able to achieve what they expect from such programs.

a better method to change the negative perceptions established in the minds of the groups chosen to rehabilitate is required and important. 

i.e. providing psycho-social support is important in a more practical and efficient way. 

within almost of every person imprisoned there are negative thoughts cultivated by both self and by the others of the society or sometimes by the prions officials, when handling or dealing with them. some often treat them not as humans but as hogs or as pigs, i have read. Those negative thoughts should be erased during the rehabilitation period. in order to implement a better efficient programs both not only prisoners or persons but also the officials should be addressed effectively.

Acquiring pro-livelihood plans during or at the latter stage of the rehabilitation programs, from the persons using the facility is important i believe. The authorized team must ask the abilities and capacities and capabilities they have to reach their target, social or economical or even political, cultural, before they leaving the centre . then the authorities can develop a better mechanism to fully rehabilitate any person who follows the rehabilitation programs implemented to address the needs of the society, west or east.

i think i have thanked many persons and friends for supporting me and encouraging me in very many ways on every birth day of footpath yet, except you. 

i strongly believe that you deserve my respect and gratitude  for introducing me to the world and i think this is the best day to thank you for creating such a beautiful innovation, allowing millions and trillions people to link with each other and to bridge people across continents regions without sticking the term 'globalization' into word but turn those ideas into actions. 

If you have not created and invented and implemented this, the blogging culture, i won't be able travel across continents through my imaginations and to share my ideas with the world community. 

Thank you once again, sandika was and is still a tiny creature who is trying to do something via internet without misusing what you have innovated and designed. 

I like to ask the rest of the persons, students etc. who wish to start a blog page, to use it for the betterment of the human world and like to tell you that i learned many things through the blogging exercises, you all too can learn many things as well.

wish you happy birth day G MAIL!
