India is watching.

Wonder where the money comes for this? Taxpayers, tighten your belts. I read this sign today which says, "TAXPAYERS MONEY AT WORK, SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE". Although I am fully aware what it really means, the signboard tells us the grim truth.

If we can keep him there without return, tax payers' money well spent.

Trehan Munasinghe Thursday, 22 November 2012 08:29 AM

No fuel is used it is run with sky rocketing c.o.l. And the engineer has no idea where the rocket will end up

This is because of the name CHANDRICA. She is always late.

One small step for the rajapakses, one giant leap for the cost of living!
