Ever-so Elusive Pride

You work hard for it & yet it can be ripped off of you in a matter of seconds.

Maya Arulpragasam, better known as MIA has done Sri Lanka proud. The Lankan lass became the first Asian to be nominated for the Oscar & the Grammy awards, the most covetous trophies one would give anything to put on display on a shelf at home!

Maya's nomination in the Grammy Award is in the 'Record of the Year' category for her single Paper Planes.

Her Oscar nomination is in the category 'Film Songs' for 'O Saya' in the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' along with A.R. Rahman.

As fabulous as the news sounds, her glory just had to be sullied by some irresponsible statements she had made in public in favor of the LTTE. Read the article published in the Asian Tribune & especially the readers' comments!

M.I.A. Paper Planes Diss By DeLon is an ideal response to the female vocalist in the woods!

His efforts are much appreciated, similar to which we really need
