Expect the opposite from what the met dept says

Yes hopefully victory day celebration will never be held, this will aggravate the current reconcilliation effort. Beside it is obvious even the military personnel are not at high spirit as it was when the war was over, so whom are we trying to glorify?

Well in time for the so called "Victory celebrations".

Friday, 11 June 2010 09:31 AM

it was very hot and there was no rain for some time. No sooner the govt decided to have the victory celebrations its raining. Nature is punishing us for keeping the general behind bars. Please Please release him and you will see no rain and floods.
