Did these people forget that the person who predicted the coming of electronic mail, and the launch of orbital satellites that would be used to make this world a global village, and so many other things including man stepping on moon – was in Sri Lanka? he’s 90 years old an yes, he’s Sir A.C.Clerk. and out of all countries sending an email to Sri Lanka is a BIG bloody thing! wow!

Yet with all these developments and millions spent on ICT I cannot send an E mail in our mother tongue Sinhala across multi operating system!!!! (eq windows 98 to Vista , Vista to any Mac etc etc)
This is my country; the taste of the parasite
