Congratulations to Rajaguru Mallie, Shalika Nangie and Kids
Our heartiest congratulations to Rajaguru Mallie, Shalika Nangie and Kids for their brand new home in Kandy which, I say, is a grand palace in every sense of the word.
This wonderful get-together we had last week virtually eight years after their visit to our home when we were in Dubai is something we would cherish always.
Beautiful is not the word for the house which is aesthetically very nice with refined finishes in addition to the subtle combination of luxurious furniture and light fittings.
Latha and I felt their profound sincerity during our stay with them.
We sincerely wish them all the best and good luck for all of their future endevours.

Thanks to Upul, Niranjala & Kids for the Generous Gift to Our Home !
A very big thank to Upul, Niranjala and kids is already over-due for months since our coming home for good in February this year in connection with their precious gift of “ONKYO” home theatre set presented to us when they were leaving Dubai after their short holiday.
In fact, Upul gave us an envelope saying it a thank-you card appeciating the modest hospitality we provided to them but to our surprise it is not only a thank-you card but also a paid voucher for us to collect a beautiful, high quality, very expensive home theatre set.
As a matter of fact, I need to say one more thing here that Latha and I do not know how to thank Upul in our life time for what he has done to us because without him, we wouldn’t be what and where we are today.
It is great pleasure to say “a big thank to you, Upul” in gratitude for our long stay in the Middle East for more than fifteen years where we were able not only to become economically independent but also to help many others in many ways in addition to the life experience we added to our lives.
Upul, it means a lot to us !

General Fonseka is Absolutely Right

The Centre for Policy Alternatives has issued a communication saying that they do not approve the personal views of General Sarath Fonseka which are exclusively within his own perspective based on his personal judgment.
It is none of CPA’s business or anybody else’s to interfere with Sarath Fonseka’s fundamental right of expression of his views which has been guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution of Sri Lanka.
Right from the colonial days, Tamil politicians have been communal minded and chauvinistic by designating all their political parties with the word ‘Tamil’ up to this moment, whereas the Sinhala people never designated their political parties as ‘Sinhala.’ For example, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, the United National Party, Jathika Hela Urumaya, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, etc.
A tragic situation has been created in the country by institutions like the CPA where Sinhala people cannot say that this is the country of the Sinhala people depriving their birth right despite the fact that Sinhala people are naturally humane and rational to accommodate all the other minorities to live in this country in harmony. In addition, the constitution of the country provides civil liberties and justice to every citizen alike without any discrimination.
The radio does not play Nanda Malini’s song Me Sinhala Apage Ratai now. Why is that?
Prof. Sunil Ariyaratna’s lyrics in that song are his honest thoughts and Nanda Malini really meant every word of it when she sang it although she does not sing it now, possibly due to some personal restraints.
Can anybody deny the fact that the traditions of our country, the name of which is Sinhale as stipulated in the Udarata Agreement signed with the British in 1815, were inspired by the Sinhala Buddhist culture of over 2419 years?
We should be able to open our mouth and tell the whole world that this is the blessed country of Sinhala Aryan people. It is a fact. General Fonseka is absolutely right.
