Let's put a party!

The scheming group of villains has been defeated and its cunning and dastardly leader been killed ending a 25 year reign of terror. Their modus operandi may have been in the North and the East, away from the commercial hub of the country but their fear tactics were felt in every nook and cranny. When the images of the dead Wicked Villain filtered through the news the people couldn't help but cheer at the thought of being able to get onto a bus now without the fear of having to leave a body part or two behind.

And in true Sri Lankan style they celebrated with fireworks and flags and cracking open that bottle of Old Reserve to put a shot.

But amidst all this celebration a handful of Pseudo Intellectuals began stirring the soup. Now that the fighting was over they needed a new subject to write poetry or a new blog post on, so they got to work.

They patiently explain to us oblivious types about the nonexistence of freedom of press and progress, about one ethnic group not accepting another as equal, about the celebrations masking the real, bigger issues and even about a jubilant but shallow jayaweva on a Facebook status. It must be exhausting work to always have to consider the challenges of a nation. Zoltan sympathises with the plight of said intellectuals and commends their deep, encouraging and enlightening blog posts which are the only way forward to a better Sri Lanka. These Desciples of the Light are truly leaders we need to put our Hope in.

Zoltan thinks its too bad the intellectuals will miss out on the devilled beef and Old Reserve though!
