Welcome to all of you teenagers who are reading my article this issue and even those few adults who are just eager to know what I am writing about this issue. As many of you know, there has not been a Teen section in Oru Paper for the past two issues as not a lot of you have considered to write for the paper. This time I have taken the time to write a few lines to get my views across to a wider audience. As many of you may know I have the tendency to write exactly as I may believe so if any of my writing offends you as readers I apologise for it in advance.
This issue I have decided to talk about MR.BARAK OBAMA. I remember the night of the election. My dad wanted find the election result he we up as early as 5:30am to find out the result of the election but when I asked him why he was so eager to find out the election result of a different country’s result he stated “if Obama wins that means we are one step closer to getting our part of our Eelam and getting a peaceful and rightful life”. And until this day I do not fully understand how that is possible. Yes we have got our first black president of America and a great man he is but I am simply failing to see the connection. Once upon a time Black people were put down by the white people and treated unfairly just as my people(tamils) in Sri Lanka are being treated now but if the black people get their freedom don’t you think it’s time my people also get their freedom.
As a young student living in a foreign country and looking down at the people who are living in my home land I cry with fear of lives being lost unfairly and in mass amounts. I fear that in a few years time there will not be a single Tamil alive in Sri Lanka after the Governments regime.

Hello everyone.

I just want to put something across to everyone and ask you the readers your views ...

As you all may know... we are in a very critical point in our nation's fight for freedom ... but how many of us actually believe that we would get our goal. That we would achieve what we have been fighting for, for many years. We have given up lives of many youngsters and adults for what? one dream. The dream of a freedom TAMIL EELAM... So why is it that when i speak to someone. they give me a whole reason why we would not get our eelam and the fact that we would have to live in these foreign countries forever...

Is dat true? Do you believe that these countries are our home land now? Is this where we belong and our children and our grand children???

u tell me and shed some light in my eyes...
