“We are dying in the styles shown on TV’s and newspapers”

The manner the hangings took place have been revealed:
In the past week in the Kadigawa village in Eppawela, two sisters and a former dismissed Commander Soldier of the Police died by hanging themselves on top of a large Margosa tree in the premises of the two sisters. This tragedy shook the entire village. The story was heard in many Medias in the country as shocking news. By now certain secrets of the killings have been unearthed.
The two sisters still school going had lived with the former Police commando as married couples. The mother by name ‘Kawamma’ could not bear seen them together and had decided to earn her own living and had dwelled in a relative’s house nearby. The mother of the two daughters had made a complaint in this regard in the Police. The ex Police commando, Ruwan had got scared that the police may arrest and that he be remanded on the orders of the court.
Before the deaths Ruwan had threatened to kill all of them, but in a different fashion. The in the manner shown the television and what he had read in newspapers. The suicide had been committed with the help of a nylon rope for the entire village to see. As expected after the killings the entire Media focussed attention on the deaths.
The Mother ‘Kawamma’ had made desperate attempts to take the two daughters away with her. As all her attempts failed she had left her home reluctantly.
The day before the incident the 15 year old younger sister had bought a nylon rope 17 metres in length from a nearby boutique. The rope was cut into 3 equal pieces and was kept near the huge margosa tree. In each rope a loop had been to make it easier to hang. The Mother had said earlier only the younger daughter could climb trees. The rope had been initially thrown to the top of the tree. The elder sister had been taken to the top of the tree perhaps with the aid of the nylon rope or through Ruwan’s assistance. There had been on the ground near the root of the tree an aerated water bottle they had drunk before alighting to the top of the tree. Ruwan had manipulated the operation of hanging which had been done simultaneously.
After the bodies were brought to ground there had been two letters in Ruwan’s trouser pocket. One letter was one to his Mother and the other to his Brother in the army. In the letters he had pleaded for the mistakes and asked for apologies. It had been said the 3 of them had committed suicide and no one should be suspected for their deaths. This tragic news shook the entire village with terrible unbearable grief.

THE FEVER OF “WHY THIS KOLAVERI DI”

The absolute 
craze of 
“Why THIS KOLAVERI Di” 
in Sri Lanka:

Have you heard South Indian film star Danush’s song “Why this Kolaveri di”? Although it is a South Indian melody with the song, why there should be restrictions in it crossing all borders across the globe? This song has already been able to attract and erupted music fans over the world. The reason has been found that it has spread like a virus among the younger generation. The CNA radio channel has already placed this song as the best in 2012.
The song was officially released on 16th November and has already created a record among ‘U’ Tube viewers as up to last night 298 lakhs of people had viewed and listened to it. In Sri Lanka too it has gathered the same momentum in the internet and private radio channels and has become tremendously popular.
This song has been composed and sung for a Tamil film to be released. It is a Tamil-English composition and is called ‘Tanguish’ and is sung in both languages.
“Why this kolaveri Di” has been questioned as to why it is so astonishing. The reason is perhaps the melody and very absorbing lyrics. In the film the song is sung by a drunken person in sadness having lost his lover. Hence it has Tamil and English combined words and this combination sounds better with a good flavour to the ear. Another feature is that when the song in sung certain words are have been dropped and are unheard probably  as it sung by a drunker in a pain of mind having lost his love. At certain parts the anguish nature is well elaborated. It is the reason for it to become very popular among the younger generation. The lyrics of the song has been written by Danush. The music score is by Anirudh Ravichandra. He had done it to the style of ancient South Indian music, it is learnt.
He is the son of the best film award winner 2011 in South India. He is married to the daughter of famous actor RajiniKanth’s daughter Aiyshwarai RajiniKanth. She is the director of the film. The women’s version had been sung in this film by the Gidad group and the song has been hailed and acclaimed.
Accordingly “Why this Kolaveri Di”has been produced and released. The little son of Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam sings the children’s version also appreciated by many.
