Curious case of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370-who White-vanned it?
Its day 3 ( dah! As you see. This post was written on day 3..now its day 16 or something…) and I’m convinced that we have a new flying Dutchmen, a very new modern age version to that matter...the all new Flying Malay…as the story goes to say the MH370, a Boing 777-200ER of the Malaysian Airlines took off from Kuala Lumpur heading for Beijing, seven hours away but never landed in Beijing no anywhere else, least to our knowledge.
Some say it crashed into the Ocean as the last known point of contact via comms and radar was over the Ocean. May be so may be not…but what seems to me is that the flight itself has become a Phantom. A flight that took off but never landed, 230 souls in flight, flying towards Beijing but will never land…on air, in flight eternally…never to land…the Flaying Malay…
I’m sure many of you have seen the pix on media of the oil slick that turned out to be from a cargo ship (btw, which ship was leaking a bloody 9km long trail? No wonder the Oceans are dying…) and then the floating something that the Vietnamese pictured…now , it looked more like an emergency exit of a plane, the sort that’s next to you when you sit next to an emergency exit that the crew tells you in quick 3 mins how to operate in the case of an emergency…I once sat next to it and when I was being briefed I told the air hostess it was too much for me and instead of following the procedure, I would simply scream out of fear hence she cannot expect much from me in the unlikely (as they say, in the briefing…now ask that from a MH370 guy…) situation of an emergency…guess what, till recently she was a facebook friend of mine , before I said good bye to FB. Enough with my glorious life as a high flyer so it seems what the Vietnamese saw and pictured was or is not a ‘door’ of an airplane…
Leaving aside the technicalities and the business of speculating about what really happened, I must say I was surprised by the reaction closer to home of the soon to acknowledge, for now on the hold, tragedy…MR has already said that with the opening of Kottawa to Kaduwela stretch of the outer Colombo circular road and the opening of Mattala Royal King Rajapaksha International Domestic Airport, people has no need nor has the money to take up air travel ,hence avoiding such disasters while Namal baby MP, denied allegations of MR family buying major stakes of Malaysian Airlines, which is losing its share price faster than the rising price of Dhal but confirmed soon to inaugurate Carlton Pilot and Aviation School in Katuwana will automatically send its successful and not so successful graduates to work for Malaysian Airlines and all required is a letter from Namal baby or Mrs.MR.
Leader for life of the Opposition, Mr.Ranil Wicramasingha, when heard about the soon to acknowledge, for now on the hold tragedy, has apparently told to media that the loss of flight MH370 will not affect the UNP and within the next few months there will be a change of Govt. and it will be a UNP led government that will lead Sri Lankan to the ruin but added he will still be the leader even when the messages of condolences are sent to families of victims for real, some day.
But the best statement came out from the Flower Road based, so called civil society of Sri Lanka…and it came in the form of a joint communiqué, signed by many organizations, most of which with its board members, donors and faithful numbering so much that all will fit into half dozen Three Wheelers ,let alone a Jet liner, including CPA,NPC and the plethora of NGOs fighting for ‘rights’ who went on to say they hope the Govt. of Sri Lanka will come out with the truth and demanded that the Govt. take responsibility for not following the recommendations of the LLRC be implemented etc ,thus setting the stage for losing of the plane.
Yes, I know …you must be wondering what’s got to do with dismal human rights situation and the thriving industry of talking about it overseas with the Malaysian plane, well…beats me too...but the likes of Mrs.Nimalka Fernando will find some minute link to connect their shameless criticism with whatever issue that will give them some cheap coverage.
On the other hand, CPA with its plethora of propagandists will come up with few well-placed articles on what’s called an ‘award winning’ citizens (??) journalism website (where only few, mostly expatriate, Colombo 7 types contribute and comment) detailing how the missing plane will help the Government to gather more Chinese support for its development programs and call for an international (read few western nations here…) action against the Govt. here and soon as they see readership going down, they’ll start shouting their web has been blocked, e-mails hacked and their made to pay more for their Gin and Tonic at the Cheers Pub.
And so there goes the story of MH370,the flight to nowhere…I’m sure for next couple of weeks, most of the Sinhala Sunday papers, well the regular bima and waya types will dedicate more space to missing plane stories ,thus diverting from the weekly doze of murder, rape , ghost and Ravana stories.
Mosquitoes are biting me and I fear more I go on, more boring this post is going to be and I don’t people searching the internet for the lost plane to waste their precious time, reading here while they could spend their valuable time, searching elsewhere…saving lives and securing the future of civil aviation, especially Malaysian Airlines which soon will fly to Mattala and will sport a Carlton (CSN) logo on its tail etc.

Panties and Suspenders Down..Its V.day Today (And I'm Back Too..)
So its Valentines day today and at this time of year it can be difficult to know the protocol..the day when many young people skip classes and head out to MC ,LP and Crescat and many other joints, hip and not so hip with their better halves , not so better halves and not so sure better halves and halves that they want to make better and some others,with fulls that they secretly want to make halves and better too...
Bloody 'ell.. even the JVP's into celebrating Valentines day ( funny ,Valentines day was a Pagen practice that the Romans took over and then the Church took it over and now.. its Mr.Somawana and Mr.Tilvin and Mr.Lalkantha taking it over.. whats next? or rather, who's next Halaal Council? ) and I'm not so sure why MR has so far stayed away from appointing a Minister of Love... now imagine that? i mean, come on...if we can have a Ministry of Crab (thats Kakkutta Emathi in Sinhala) , Ministry of Suger ( it'll be Peni Emathi in Sinhala) why not we have a Ministry of Love?
In the Absence of a Ministry of Love to proclaim all lovers in SL will receive Rs.200 worth of free calls and texts and other perks ,I Declare Today To Be The Day We The People In Love, Pull Panties,Bras and Suspenders Down And Down With The Elastic That Tights Us Down And Enjoy The Love And Freedom We Deserve!! (there you go...the statement by me, in the absence of a Ministry of Love...)
Enough with all this Love related rhetoric.. whats important is that you make sure whoever you love today gets something special..be it a FaceBook 'like' or a dirty text or may be a visit out to some dodgy rooms by the hour place and hey. ..let the love take over... ; while you want to avoid FM radio station cliches, St.Valentine will not forbid if your other half ( the better half) is the only one in her class (or Office/School/Camp,/Bank/Station/Bus or NGO to name a few locations where one can have a lover...) not to receive gifts/texts/emails and flowers (depending on your current financial condition and provided your not having issues with liquidity...) on today the 14th of February.
Thankfully, you can get her (him too but thats not my subject, if you know what i mean!) some cool Victoria Secret (btw, check this video ) stuff or Amante line of works.. after all even on a day like this.., its important to defy gravity as we all know... Love is in the air not on the ground...but remember and and try not to forget my proclamation too!
Have a great Valentines day dear all and make love like the Bonobo (Monkey) and get laid like there is no tomorrow!
Just one other minor detail..if you were recently (or not so recently) dumped... then, do get on with the spirit of the day and grab the initiative to wish you former lover : happy Valentines day, you jerk! ( a text message will do...)
Also pls refer to some advice on V.day planning ( V Day Wiki as some nerds and turds would say..) and how-to's,.. here...all thanks to GQ
In addition to that... you can also read my older posts on V.day and old glory days.. spoiler alert.. bit boring though...here's V.day 2008 and V.day 2011 wonder what happened to V.day of 2009/2010..

The King Who Rolled Me A Joint.
Mind you..I'm not racist but i don't want any monkey business ,even with a Royal Wife of a country where AIDS is more widespread in percentage than any other nation on earth (apart from Toilet Nadu-since they think they live in heaven,hence not even consider them to be a part of India!!)
Anyway, we (King and I) had a good time last night..as usual we hit the White Horse for some cheap drinks before we hit the 'The Bar' at the Dutch Hospital.funny, when i told the HRH Dude we're off to Dutch Hosp.,he inquired if we are going to 'do' some voluptuous Dutch blond nurses at the hosp., but then i dreaded for a minute not to hurt Sri Lanka's budding diplomatic relations with Kingdom of Swaziland and tell the guy the Dutch were long gone and what we may find there is Mahela's extra expensive Crabs (sure to make you crap when you see the prices of dishes there) and the Bar, the Bar thats becoming THE regular watering hole for Colombians of quite younger (and tender) age.
The HRH dude lit up like a Christmas tree mounted on the front yard of Last Chance showroom down Rajagiriya.
And then came the bombshell.. the HRH King just rolled a joint and passed it to me.. man i tell you this joint was like having ...err.. Swaziland Gold!
Yes, the more intellectual types here might wonder what the hell is 'Swaziland Gold' i talk about.. well pls read this here by Lydia Polgreen on New York Times of Today (see you wanker.. i read NY Times too! imagine that!!!) and you you'll be a world authority on Sawazi Gold.
What Daily News is not reporting is the fact that MR had not asked my mad the King about the details of his Ludzidzini Royal Village in Swaziland (because MR doesn't want such thing in Medamulana) nor any spicy details about the selection process for the Royal Wives (since MR already got a wife,he's not interested in any more-i guess!) but moi being the curious type got to know that normally around 50,000 young virgins (yako..Virgins!!! imagine that!!! 50 frigging thousand of them???) turn up for the selection gig ..bare-breasted and in skimpy traditional skirts.. i guess even if your not the King, it must be a spectacle more fitting than the London Olympics to watch 24/7 !!!
I read this blog article about the selection and to quote one candidate " "I want to live a nice life, have money, be rich, have a BMW and cellphone," summs up all the hype behind this selection.i mean, lets be serious ..in a country where ADIS is going to hit 100% within the next decade ( according to some UNDP doomsday report- but then, who will believe UNDP) its going to be a pretty good deal to be one of the 13 Royal Wives and thus not run the risk of going for an arranged marriage and end up like Freddy Mercury.

Mahindananda Aluthgamage,next PM of Sri Lanka
Of course without Nawalapitiya votes, EC can't announce Kandy District votes and without Kandy District votes he can't announce Overrall votes nor national list seats allotted to each party ,hence who ever won the election (of course its the UPFA..who else you dumb nitwit!) can't set up a Govt.but all that legal bollocks is irrelevant.
WE WANT MAHINDANANDA ALTHUGAMAGE AS OUR NEXT PRIME MINISTER AND WE WANT HIM TO SET UP THE NEXT GOVERNMENT.
For you folks who repeatedly doubt me and my two cents worth posts, here are some back gorund info on Hon.Mahindananda Aluthgamage ,our hero of Nawalapitiya.
According to wikipedia where you find the most accurate and upto date information,Hon.Mahindananda Aluthgamage is a product of the prestigious Royal College Colombo and according to Parliament of Sri Lanka's "Biographies of present ( 6th parliment that is..) Members " his religion is listed as 'None' (may be some sect or cult in Nawalapitiya, where our hero is from).Hon.Mahindananda Aluthgamage our hero of Nawalapitiya, has an Authorized Official Facebook Page and you will find 625 fans of him there..including Maradankadawala Yakadaya.
Respect!
