​

Statistically speaking an average Sri Lankan's quality of living is better then an average Indian's , So it is Indians that live pitiful lives... not Sri Lankans!

Averagely.

Any way if Sri Lanka is better,
we are fully contented.
Thats what has happened to Sri Lanka.
We deceive ourselves.

As someone asked
show us some Sri Lankans exceled in International fields.
Perhaps cricket is the only field..
with worldwide match fixing
that too has lost integrity now.

When others are becoming better,
we find a way to console ourselves that we are better.
THAT is pitiful.

I never said ours is excellent, If I say that then that would be deceiving... I'm saying ours is better than an average Indian's.. that's a FACT!

And facts are facts... Now I wonder why on earth with all those resources and brains they got, they still cannot get it up pass this small island!

May I ask you which International Sri Lankan Cricketer got caught with Match Fixing?

Although we know what happened to the ex-Indian captain Mohommad Azaruddin!

Yes you are right with Match fixing... even from all over the world very few have been caught... So we have to conclude that it does not exist... only unbelievable miraculous results to guess.
Since you take averagely, you can be console yourself that average Sri Lankan life is better... That too are statistical assumptions... Who can check it.

[retrospect]

well i posted the thread for the sake of information

but we have comments that prove that some of our EK ians are compulsively myopic and tend to see ghost behind every bush

prof Cyril Ponnaperuma yes he was a famous NASA scientist

so for all the people who just hate the Indians( for no particular reason, even though they played an important diplomatic role siding us last few months in particular) i think the feeling probably is mutual

but anyways guys thanks for all the comments however myopic they are its still your right to comment.
