If the US embassy in Sri Lanka is going to make a radio announcement tomorrow morning, saying “Apply for Citizenships; first come, first serve; only ten citizenships are available.” Guess what would happen?Gotabaya will find out tonight, and Rajapaksas will start assassinating each other to make the line tomorrow morning at the US embassy. All the cabinet members will be dead before dawn! No revolution needed! All problems are solved. This is not a joke; it will happen; just wait and see!
Before I write this article, I need to thank the commenter called “Bruz.” Bruz,thank you my friend; you are the only one who got it; I just woke up after a nap and read your comment on my previous article; Humor and wisdom are as rare as Kalunika these days, especially among Sri Lankans; I doubt that you live in Sri Lanka, both from your elegant writing style and cohesive presentations of your thoughts and arguments. Please contribute to this website—Colombo Telegraph—and tell us more about you, especially who you are. I genuflect to your wisdom as well as humor. Please see my last paragraph for more on this subject. Bruz, please give us the wonderful privilege of knowing you and entertain us with your humor because I cannot do this alone anymore; I need more help. To use a euphemism in a humorous way: Bruz, please come out of the closet. Professional journalists have inflated egos; an amateur like myself has an ego, too, but just a tiny one, like a tiny ant.
I recommend “And Company,” a very popular Sri Lankan TV show. If you get a chance, watch it, because it is hilarious. These actors and actresses are brilliant; of course, the accolades also go to the producers and directors as well. The day “And Company” shows “Chinthaka Sabapathy (Mahinda Rajapaksa)” and makes fun of him, it would be the first clue that would demonstrate that Sri Lanka has gained its press and media freedom. So, watch it! In “And Company,” they do not even make any allusions to Gotabaya; I can come up with a plethora of names for Gotabaya. If you are interested please let me know; I will even write the script for this role. The epithet “Vitra” would not be a bad one. “And Company,” please give Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe a break; I do not agree with him, but he is somewhat decent, compared to the other clowns. The actor who plays Ranil’s role is excellent, like the rest in that show. It is time to focus on Mahinda and Gotabaya. Come on, are you guys afraid of these charlatans? Some Sri Lanka Teledramas have figured out how to make fun of Mahinda by using people who are pretending to be lunatics; finally, they have figured out how to make fun of these megalomaniacs. It is very clever. Watch the TV drama Suravimana, the last 3 or 4 episodes: Mr. Walisundera, pretending to be a lunatic, making fun of Mahinda, a brilliant move. We need another character called Gotasundera or Podisundara. Read More
