Tell me Whitney
who took your life away from you and your loved ones?
Name the murderer,
is it Cocaine, Marijuana or Ganja?
lets build a school of music in the name of Whitney Houston other than building a sta
I began my day,
little later than usual. After listening
to my sister’s usual this and that talks of every morning other than the ‘TEAAAAAAAAAAAA’
command, took me this far of my thinking, keeping a question mark in a one side
of my mind on building statues
So after listening
to all what she expressed today morning, I picked my today’s topic that is ‘STATUE’,
Statues in memory of the LIVED
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
( > = sign of
the continuation in the paths of the sansara, personal to me)
Why one should
build statues or expect others to build statues in memory of their names?
I think that is because they expect to be
sustained in the hearts and minds of the living even after their dates of expirees,
that is what I believe
I have not heard
of such though the normal situation is different, about the people those who
have written their last wills, mentioning the wills of building statues in memory
of their names
I know that my
sister was teasing me and sharing a bit of sense of humor with me in order to
refresh my morning YET I thought there is a lot to think within in what she
shared with me and expressed to me
I think building a
statue in memory of a lived is not a big task yet I think my sister should live
like a woman that others can remember without taking any efforts to remember her
name
Normally it is a little
difficult for me to convince things for her because she often shows a little
that, ‘what I say is right’ kind of a personality
I have observed
the statues built in memory or in remembrances of the huge personalities of
this country we live and the fate and results behind the idea of building statues
in the names of the lived
What I say is not
applicable to the dear and near ones who follow such procedures as a family
tradition or as a customs, norms or as values
I know any one who
arrange official tours in and around of cemeteries must have noticed some of
the things that I essay here, today
I remember reading
few articles written exploring the cemetery in Borella , famous, the place that
the most the famous’ , tall and huge personalities have decided to relax in
peace
I know and have
heard and read about the tomb of the H R Jothipala the singer of the hearts of
people.
The tomb that have
built in memory of him examples many things And it shows how he understood and measures
the size of a heart, wallet of a poor lover that don’t have the financial ability
to build any Taj Mahal or buy BMW, Diamonds or pearls for the lover
He is H R Jothipala
pardon me if the idea belong to the lyrists
‘
Taj mahalak thanawanna beha mata obey senehasata himi
His ahase gewenna tharamata hee seyak
bandimi
I can’t build a
Taj Mahal in the name of your affection, love
But
I can build something
that reaches and touches the empty sky on the day of your departure
I like that song
Essaying songs or
analyzing songs that I already have heard and love is not the vision of my day, today,
let me move on to my topic of the day ……………………..
I have few questions
in my mind, after building statues who reaches to venerate or salute those
lived, the living, the friends or the relatives?
Who visits the
statues not daily but at least regularly or often, the statue crafter or the
ones who build such using the money of the public?
I believe that they
some, or one of the near and the dear visits such places only on the days of the
death anniversaries. That is the biggest insult that one can do to the ones who
lived somewhat good or totally good in the country serving their people,
honestly but so memorably in the hearts and minds of near and dear
Just take your mo-
bike guys and gals and have a visit to the places of statues and just observe
the fate of such ‘look what has happen to them can they rest in peace, who
think of cleaning the dusts and pisses of the animals? If you plan to visit
such places, you may also get chances to observe the broken edges of some of
such statues
Who should do
clean and take care of them?
Are there anyone
in the name of dust because I hear some kasu kusu about dust during my on and
off of the opportunities get to hear the conversations of my benefactors, well
wishes
Oh! Bad me, did I ever
think of thanking them for their strategies of convincing what they have heard
or read from the others, who ever
Let me take this
opportunity to THANK my benefactors who have been supporting and helping all
these years opening the gates and doors for me
Thank you ONCE
AGAIN
Oh! My topic of
the day, I mustn’t forget
What I ask the
authorities and the loved ones who do not think of building statues here and
there in order to seal the names of the good ones in the hearts and minds of
the people of their area or in that area in the villages or in any of the
global territories, or in towns or in cities, do something heavier and can be
easily measurable that is to mark or to seal the name of the service provider. I
guess such might shows the real weight of the service rendered to their service
gainers, benefactors
What we should do
is to try to build something within the hearts and minds of the people, expecting
something total to happen in the future, aiming some benefits to achieve for
the beneficiaries, country members, and village members other than building
anything concrete
Concrete or
establish something better than a statue
I have seen the
statues of late president Mr. R Premadasa in some of the areas of the country
for instance in Mawanella town, if my memory is accurate
I can’t talk of the statues in the other territories
or the statues in the madame Tussauds Museum, London or about the statue of
Charles Dickens with the children around him listening to his story telling
i know there you can see the statues looks so live built of some specific wax ? most the ones are of the living
I can talk about
the personality of the heart of the students Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali , the
founder of the scholarship scheme ‘ MAHAPOLA SCHOLRSHIP’ I guess the statue
looked alright I observed the statue from a distance
You need to take care
of your things now that the state (?) or the foundation has built such statues
your foundation has to take the responsibility of maintaining without really
insulting them
I guess any
government or the state has plenty of things to do , I don’t mentioning this as
a major task of a state what I suggest and my question is ‘ why build statues’ ‘why
not something sustainable in the name of the good ones
Ok why build
statues? Is it because that is the tradition or the custom so far followed not
only here in Sri Lanka but also in the world?
Thank goodness that
OUSL authority has taken a decision to prohibit smoking in the zone of OUSL by
noticing it to the visitors, students professionals ‘
So ‘NO SMOKING’
Thank you for the
Decision taken SIR
How to find money
to build too many statues for the deaths happening faster than the normal due
to too much smoking
Oh! Who will build
my statue, the ‘Cigar COMPANIES’ for essaying such things?
Not worthy right?
: - )
I can’t remember
the name of the person or the incident totally, I have read that one of the
daughters have file a case against a ‘Cigarette Company one or two decades back
not here but somewhere in the globe because her father used to smoke only a one
particular Brand ever since her father started smoking and finally suffered
from Cancer and died
If my memory is
accurate, the daughter who filed the case against the company, cigar won and
was eligible to gain ‘compensation’ from the company
I guess that is
the one and only incident reported in the entire field of court systems of the
world
I am not quite
sure whether she built any statues using the money granted or taken from the
company, I suppose she didn’t
So in memory and
respect of all the suffered and troubled or lived happily and totally I like to
suggest ‘don’t ever think of doing something against what your heart evidences
says or proves
Leave all the statues
alone, should I write that way?
NO I should say ‘
Let the Living or half dead the way they like without trying to spoil their
living agendas I guess for them it is no easy to bear
Forgetting building
statues how about thinking of charging some fines against for the ones who put
all heavy garbage in to the drainage systems in the towns, that is to avoid the
worries of the townies and floods during heavy rain also to maintain the
accuracy of the town needs
Thank you for reading
me my dear friends!
