Aaa Sirla Nonala,
Come come sit sit we
talk we talk
I thinking thinking
what what this blogging meen
Che chee did I say bogging
Apoi no
I no want to kaapu
beepu thana bog
Them days in Ceylon, we Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol struggle
struggle to make ends meet.
Them Red Blue Green Politeesans come promise we givu you
moon we givu you sun.
We kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol always poor and them
politeesans made sure we remained poor so they can stand on stage and shout for
the saadukin pelena unge emancipation.
Sirimavo say she will somehow give rice to you sadukin
pelena poor pepol . She say she wil
bring rice even from moon. So we clap clap and whislte.
Dudley say he will make Goviya Raja and make Ceylon self sufficient with rice. So
we clap clap and whislte.
JVP say Wijeweera shaodaraya turn samajya upside down and
givu rich pepols houses to poor pepol. So we givu them money, gold chains, gold
rings as investment in the revolution.
Samasamaja say them will build luxury flats for we poor
pepol and flatten Pelihouse to create chilrens park for Kolonnawe Pelihouse
Lamai. Kolonnawe gaanu shout Jyaveva and bang on them raban.
Aney, we fools go put kathire hoping to get all that very next
day.
Huta, after that, we see them pepol only on TV. When one
parti win and other parti lose the winning parti supportas go kudufying
Kolonnawe kada and even setting Pelihouses on fire. Apoi, if one house catch
fire the whole peliya will catch fire no ? So we havu survival tactics .
I put kathire for UNP. Wife for SLFP .Son go do JVP Thappa
Viplawaya. Son’s wife put kathire for
Samasamja .
Elecson time we argue argue and our hosuses soun like parliment house evuri
day. Boruwata, boruwata.... wata pita minissunta ahennna. Then no matter who win
elecson, we somehow shapemuwa.
We poor pepol go poling at CWE to buy parippu. Them days CWE
had Illangaratna's kunu karawala. …taste bestma with Kasiya.
Them say Dudley sir good man. He Gentalman. He no collect
money for elecsons or pocket the comis money. He lived in Woodlands Borella . He died in Woodlands
Borella.
Sirimavo good lady too.When nowti JVP varsity boys and girls
try to take Govenment byporce she say me
too a mother no…I too have chilren …so I no order to kil them . She send them to Vidyodaya
university .
No no..not to studi
for degree…for punarththaapanaya.
Aaa but.. but.. later
they even study from prison and get Arts degrees
.
I thinking I thinking
about them days aanduwa declaring state of Emergency or even curfew as often as we kolonnawe pelihouse pepol havu a bath at the tap.
When them Samasamja
Communist rich rich sirla like NM, Colving go pelapali on May Days …we
Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol follow them …excitedly singing..shouting..” Saadukin Pelenaun dan ithin nagityaw”
And we throw rocks at
them showrooms of big big company buildings
When poleess come..them
rich samajawadi sirla slip out horengli to them luxury houses in Colombo 7.. We get
polees guti bata and kandulu gas and up in polees kooduwa.
Then the aanduwa declare Emergency.
It felt like everiday
is Emergency for Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol
Emergency when long
kiu for one latrin... pepol mustma run to the canal
Emergency when Kolonnawe Vije come soutin soutin..we run and hide in the latrin
Emergency when polis coming to Kasiya spot we all put hooray
run to hide in the latrin
Our lives in Klonnawe Pelihouse one continuous Emergency sir
Them Sirima Annduwa days, jesma like nowdays .
She leening leening on Chow chow en Lai implementing China
Policies with haal polu miris polu ito manage economi. She had the balance of
payment US$3000 in the black. Everibodies suffered almost equally then. Almost
goodma good real Sama Samajaya. Even
Parliment house canteen served rice only two days… other days mannokka or
bathala. No sheeni with plain tea…only
hakuru .
Then came open ekonomi.
Everibodies canma go
Dubai so Kolonnawe Pelihouse women go too. Them bring fans, washing masheens... all dutipree. Build
them 1 perch pelihouses up up up. So
everibodies happi happi.
I say I say sirla nonala…you mustma come Kolonnawe Pelihouse
shide…and see Kolonnawe Voje’s Yahapaalnaya.
To be continued…
