Subject: The Path I came All The Way......!!! A Lankan Tamil Story...!!!
By Shan Nalliah.....Norway
(I dedicated this to my friendly batchmates at University of Peradeniya,AGROS/1978-82 who are living around the World as respectable Tamil citizens with dignity/harmony)

I TURN BACK! AND SEE MY PATH WHICH HAD GOOD AND BAD , HAPPY AND SAD MEMORIES! INTERESTING OR BORING AS ALL OF YOU HAD IN YOUR LIFE!!!
I FOUGHT THE STRUGGLE IN THE REALITY WORLD! AS WELL AS IN MY FANTASY WORLD
AS A PERSON AS A TAMIL! I DID MY DUTY WELL!! I WON FINALLY!!!

I ENGAGED IN OUR LANKAN TAMIL POLITICAL QUESTION!
MET PARTY LEADERS,PMs,FMs,Ms,MEDIAS,NGOs,MPs AND HR/HV DEFENDERS!
TOLD OUR STORY!!! TAMIL PEOPLE'S LONG SUFFERINGS!!!
MY POLITICAL EFFORTS IN NORWAY! TO MOBILISE VIPs
TO SEND AN ENVOY FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE!
STARTED ON MY ARRIVAL IN 1986
AS I DID IN 1981 WITH MGR/CM/TN.

I TRAVELLED MANY COUNTRIES! SAW WONDERFUL AND HISTORICAL PLACES!
TEMPLES!DIFFERENT PEOPLE!! ENJOYED TALKING WITH THEM!!!
ABOUT THEIR WAY OF LIVING,POLITICS,ECONOMICS,RELIGION AND CULTURE!!!

AS A GIFT FOR ALL!!!AS A COURTESY OF ALL!!!

I LEARNED A LOT FROM MY FAMILY AND SOCIETY: TOLERANCE,LOVE,FRIENDSHIP,DUTY,JUSTICE,HARMONY,ENGAGEMENT,HELPFULNESS,
AHIMSA AND RESPECT FOR ALL!!!
I LEARNED NOT TO BE RUDE,ANGRY,JEALOUS,GREEDY,MONEY/POWER HUNGRY
OR DO ANY HARM TO OTHERS!! OR USE HARSH WORDS!!!
A TRADITIONAL TAMIL WAY OF LIVING!!!THIRUKURAL WAY OF LIVINGS!!!
I TRY TO EDUCATE/INFORM OTHERS! OR HELP THEM IN ANYWAYS TO PROGRESS!!!
