We are all living in our dreamland. Only we know where it is. Lanka land of Buddhism which politicians public clearly and know it since years ago somehow it turned out of to be land of hell since 2956. Many disappeared msny moved away. Many moved lived fine in foreign lands but not everyone. Country need new vision
