											 I went out with a friend over the weekend, and we had a nice time. He’s Brazilian and I met a few of her other Brazilian friends. One of his friends asked me “Are you Sri-Lankan?” I replied, “No, I’m Tamil.” His reply was, “isn’t that a language, not a place.” And, I told him, I do not identify as a Sri-Lankan, and I’m from Tamil Eelam. Now, explaining this to someone who is out of the loop in terms of current events is a bit difficult, but I feel I get into this conversation every time someone asks where I’m from. I gave him the short answer that I’m from Tamil Eelam, and that is the traditional homeland of the Tamils before it was unjustly colonialized by the British and then wrongly handed it over to the Sinhalese majority. So I asked him back, where he is from, and he said he’s Canadian (even though his parents are from Brazil).  |

											 went to work the other day, and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how they want to see Alice in Wonderland. (I don’t know if it was because of the childhood memories it brings back, the attraction to Wonderland, or the fact that Johnny Depp was playing Mad Hatter.) Regardless, I wanted to see it because of Wonderland. But there was one things so missing in this versus the book by Lewis Carroll, the obsession with time, the white rabbit and the obsession with time. I won’t ruin it for you, but some of the coolest characters from the book were cut out.  |

											 I’m not a believer in luck, I believe in studying and hardwork. But, I do believe that Friday’s Jackpot, Lotto Max is $50 million. I will be playing the lottery, with that small chance and hope of winning. The only thing, instead of one person winning so much money, I hope many many people win parts of it, especially during a time where so many families are struggling to make ends meet.  |

											 The death penalty, yes, a widely disagreed topic. This is the debate, whether capital death punishment is a good thing, or not. Before I tell you my opinion, let’s weigh the pros and cons. What do you think, is capital punishment a good harsh punishment, or is it too final?  |

											 Did you know that during World War I, an organization entitled, Order of the White Feather got men to enlist in the British Army by telling women to present men do did not enlist in the army with a white feather, that symbolized cowardice? Because it became shameful, and embarrassing not to enlist many men joined the army, and the government had a problem managing them all in the beginning.  |

											 You watch them all the time, when they air, you’re glued to the television, for a good 45 minutes. Yes, soap operas, a guilty indulgence. As humans, I think we are not only concerned with our lives, but we are so interested in the lives of others, otherwise, reality shows and soap operas wouldn’t be so popular. I think I could have classified myself as a soap-addict before, but like all bad habits, I realized it was bad for my health and left me on the edge.  |
