Zionism and the Bible

Both Bible and Zionism are man made myths.

The God has created special  people called Jews and Zionists and the rest of the humanity is subhuman in the name of Bible.

These theories are created to perpetuate discrimination.

It sucks.

I believe in humanity.

It does not matter, the  ethnicity, race, religion or region we all are equal on this planet.

We all are subjected sickness, disability, disease and death.

War and Killing people for any of the above reasons is not acceptable in this century.

We all are equal and the god who has selective affinity is a sick god.

Zionism sucks.

Bertram Russell on Zionism

Anti-Imperialist.
Pacifist.
Nuclear Disarmament.

In 1970 the day before he died (98 years old) he wrote a letter condemning Israel's aggression in the Middle East.

Bombing Egypt was criticized.
War of attrition!
He compared it with American bombing of Vietnam.
Call to withdraw to pre six day war borders (bombing raids).

He read it out in International Conference of Parliamentarians on the 3rd of February 1970.

The last phase of undeclared war in the Middle East was fought on (false foundation) profound miscalculation.

Bombing raid deep into Egyptian territories will not persuade the civilians to surrender but stiffen their resolve to resist.

This is the lesson of ariel bombardment.

Vietnamese responded not by capitulation but by shooting down more enemy aircrafts.

In 1940 my own fellow countrymen (British) resisted Hitler's bombing raids with unprecedented unity and determination.

For this reason present Israeli attack will fail in their essential purpose.

But at the same time they must be condemned vigorously throughout the world.

The development of the crisis is both destructive and dangerous.

Over 20 years Israel has expanded by force of arms.

At every stage of this expansion Israel had appeared to appeal to reason and suggested negotiations.

This is the traditional role of the imperial power.

It wishes to consolidate within these difficulties, it has already taken by violence.

Every new conquest becomes the basis of the proposed negotiation from strength which ignores the injustice of the previous aggressions.

The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned. Not only because no state has the right to annex foreign territory but because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate.

The refugees who surround Palestine in hundred of thousands are well into the third decade (70 years in total) of their precarious existence in temporary settlements.

The tragedy of people of Palestine is their country is given to a foreign power (this is real occupation by force ) for creation of a new state (called Israel).

The result is thousands of people made homeless and with every new conflict their numbers increased.

How much longer the world is willing to endure this spectacle?

The bottom line is British created Israel and the Americans maintain it.

The tragedy of humanity is everybody expects to be treated equal but nobody reciprocates!

Unity in Diversity is a Total Myth.

For survival (not of the fittest and the strongest) the vulnerable has to diligently move through the thin line created by the above two putative conditions.

How Indians Ruined Cricket

I love cricket.
West Indies and Australians brought cricket to limelight whereas, English cricket administrators doing their best with the help of Indians to ruin it.

These comments, I have picked up from 80 year old Ian Chappel with my own insinuations.

Just look at a 1970 and 1980 cricket games  West Indies against Australia.

Even captain Andy Roberts would play a hard game to run three runs.

There are occasions they have run 4 runs under scorching sunshine.

It was not a bollywood game played by actors and actresses.

1. Long time ago, Cricket grounds were big.

Indians made cricket grounds smaller.

2. Scoring a six was difficult on those big grounds.

Indians made cricket grounds so that six is normal and boundary is rare.

Three runs the rarest of all!

I think Indian must get the Bollywood girls to play on these small grounds.

3. Just look at Vivian Richards.
They used to work hard running between wickets and they were very athletic.

Given current small grounds Vivian would have scored twice as much.

In other words, each run is worths twice of todays runs.

Each six today is equivalent to four runs those days.

Only exception is Glen Maxwell.

4. These guys were not interested in statistics.

They play the game by merit.

5. They never made cricket grounds to suit the guest country.

Getting a team out under 100 was rare.

Getting 300 was rare then.

6. It used to be a male dominant game and balls and bats were made according to a tradition.

7. It is rare to see a wicket cartwheeling!

So me not watching Indian Cricket is a natural phenomenon.

8. I was pleased when India lost.

9. That is what happens when cricket becomes politicized.

10. I want cricket becoming an Olympic Game and a Global Entity.

11. Do not make cricket a bookie game for
Sumathipala, Shammi Silva, Ranatunge and Wijedasa family game.

12. Above all do not make cricket a lady's game!

Darker Side of University Education in Ceylon

It am 7 years off from the university education and this piece is only a reflection.

We used to have Inter University Sports Events in the past and now we see Inter University Events on the streets.

These events are organized by a hegemonic union.

I will start with a real event, I reported to the university administration long before I joined it.

I had just returned from New Zealand and I noticed unauthorized guys entering the university from its back entry.

Little investigation revealed that guys were taking drugs to the university.

I reported this to the university authorities and they only erected a metal door and they did not not do a proper investigation, fearing the local mafiosi.

For that matter, I managed to help the Police in New Zealand to round up a gang of young drug offenders and dealers.

Only later, I got to know that there are over 50 members of Ceylon parliament (both sides of a aisle) who are dealers including female members.

My only other, interventions were to introduce an attendance list and each student had to sign it (not tick it) and we increased the percentage of attendance to 80% from earlier 60%.

If the guys want to do politics, they are free to do it full time outside of the university setup and displacing an academic entry point to another deserving guy or girl is criminal.
University spend a hugh some (free education) on each student and for a medical student the expense is massive.

If I remember correct there was student of mine who failing in his academic work but a bright guy. I advised him to do law which he successfully completed. He was politically active full time and when I did a follow up I found him in prison.

I am not sure whether he is dead or not but I am sure he was brainwashed by the J.V.P.

It did cause, (attendance list) a few dropouts and we had a sort of semi assessment program, in the name of English Intensive Course.

English was a requirement and was not compulsory.

I initiated a course called "Academic English" and almost all students could not define the word define at entry point.

I am one who believes in that, a proper interview should be undertaken by each faculty to recruit its prospective candidates.

The failure would lead to catastrophic events.

My analysis was we needed only 25 dental students a year to fill the vacancies in the department of health.

Of course, the faculty increased the input to 75 and I was not worried being a Medical Guy.

That is their problem!

We had only 4 medial guys in the entire faculty (recruited another one on a different criterion). All of us, one by one retired and I was the last one to (I was the youngest) retire.

Two of them, I believe either diseased or incapacitated.

This is to expose a virulent disease called Faculty Rivalry.

I won't reveal the details, only the sketch to hide the identity of the individuals and many of them have left the country for good.

A certain medical student got hitched to a dental student. I believe there were other prospective clients.

We used to have a Medical and Dental Dance at Queen's Hotel to deal with these extracurricular activities including finding short term and long term partners.

All the faculties were under one umbrella and the Veterinary Faculty departed first and the Dental Faculty, later.

On the day of the annual dental event the medical faculty guys crossed the Peradeniya Hospital (Medical Director would have been sleeping) and entered the Dental Faculty premises with sticks and poles for a major onslaught.

The police station was on the other side of the Faculty of Dental sciences and they were very slow to respond.

This happend on a Friday.

To my luck, mother in law fell sick and I excused myself from the event and went home after lunch.

I came to work on the Monday morning to see that the  hospital (pathology division was on the clinical side) was closed and went down to the faculty section to see the wanton  destruction of our property.

University was closed for 6 weeks as usual and without leave I could attend to the funeral of the mother in law and subsequent religious events.

We had an emergency meeting soon after the reopening and the consensus was to identify the individual students and suspend them as per university regulations  and per public disturbance ordinances of the government.

Luckily for us we had video and photo evidence (poor quality).

Nobody wanted to go to the Faculty of Medicine and as usual I volunteered.

I went there and made an appointment to see the dean without a topic.

He was not in his seat when I went there.

Police was making an investigation on their own.

For my luck he was a Colombo graduate and now in the Peradeniya University Staff, I genuinely expected him to be neutral in his investigation.

One the next visit, I told him I have photo evidence and I wished on behalf of the faculty, I could look at the record books of the students and identify them.

He declined and I told him in that case we may provide the police with tell tale evidence and they will come with a court order.

He knew I meant business and I said he could call a special faculty meeting and decide.

I said when these guys become doctors, good luck for the patients and I came back and reported the outcome.

In our meeting we decided to informally dissociate with them and break all formal ties until a global apology is made.

In fact, we independently developed our resources and for our luck J.IC.A was there to finance.

Since then, I never went there to visit my alma mater.

I even boycotted the 75th anniversary.

No wonder many guys pass me as a dental guy!

I am a medical guy but fully retired.

Dissolution of Parliament of Ceylon or Military Government

Let me deal with the Post of President to begin with since he or she is the one who has the executive handle.

It is humanly impossible to remove a president, even if he or she is the Acting President.

Only after an impeachment or by a resolution of misconduct passed by the majority of two thirds of the parliamentary membership (151) that the sitting president can be expelled.

This is impossible since members can be bought by the sitting president during an impeachment and this had happened in the past.

In any case, one who was noSilcted by the voters can also become the president by wheeler dealer methodology.

After an election the voter is made impotent for 5 years.

That is an irony!

The change of this post can be brought about by many ways. Few of them have actually happened.

1. Assassination

2. Death

3. End of two terms

4. Resignation

5. Impeachment

6. Mental and Physical incapacity.

Last two methods are humanly impossible. Even a president who has gone bonkers can stay in power.

The Prime Minister and Speaker who are next in line cannot evict a president who has gone insane.

The parliament would stay put for solid 5 years, even though, the president could dissolve it after 2 years and 6 months (it used to be after one year).

No parliament member would like to dislodge the privileges that he or she is bestowed with.

The present Acting President, I believe has no intention to dissolve this parliament and he cannot declare presidential election and he will have to drag on as the president until 5 years minus the left over period of GR.

Of course, the Election Commission is  vested with powers to conduct the presidential election.

I come to the belief that Novel Revolution was a staged drama.

It looks like it was preplanned by Indian interests.

For example India had some underhand interests in the Easter calamity.

India wants to destabilize Ceylon!

It is not current but a long term plan of RAW.

For some reason India wanted to bring in RW because he was a willing (vulnerable,too) participant and GR was getting unpopular, in any case.

What role MR had in this power change, it is difficult to guess. He will hang on to his parliament seat to avoid persecution.

Hiding behind parliamentary robe and saffron cloth is his ploy unless he decides to resign on health grounds.

His plan is probably to bring his son and family into the forefront.

It is a wishful thinking!

In this scenario the Supreme Court judgement is of paramount importance.

I believe, rest assured neither parliamentary nor presidential election would be held before the due dates.

Voters and Citizens are zombies in this electoral process, however vociferous they could become.

They are only pawns and paws!

Only SOLUTION, I can think of is having a regular Election Cycle as short as 3 years like in the management systems.

I think if the cycle is 4 years the fourth year will be used for illegal dealings.

5 years is too long and in that scenario, the last 2 years are invariably used for absolute corruption.

The current regime is entering this Corrupt Cycle.

The wheeler dealing is already taking place.

The chance of a military government is unlikely but plotters of the so called New Revolution or "Aragalaya" were ready, for even a military takeover but there was no guy who was willing to put his neck out.

For some of them becoming a Presidential Candidate would have been the easy option.

I have noticed a few new developments and would like to make an animalistic analogy.

The current guy is like a Gadawila or an earthworm!

He is residing on the stinking pit created by the S.L.PP.

His shoddy actions are an indication, of how deep this pit is.

The police and the army are deep in this pit.

Some old soldiers on retirement are already campaigning on the N.P.P. ticket.

My concern is this.

If the next government that comes to power comes with an absolute power the outcome in spite of absolute economic distress would hold on for sometime.

If there is lot of division among the prospective parties and the army guys get a sniff of this, they might even think of going for a coup.  

In 1962 J.R.J.tried it but failed.

In 1968 Felix Dias Bandaranaike tried and failed.

A section of these retired military guys are already in the N.P.P.

In the event of hung parliament guys on their side might give a dead rope to the military section of J.V.P. and may entice them for an unorthodox power grab.

Military coups are generally of the Right Wing Type.

There are already a few guys who are outside the N.P.P. and  probing this scenario and some of them might come out as legal presidential candidates.

BEWARE!


Political Thugs


Sirimavo and N.M., Kolvin and Keinaman

1971
I was in the University.

At least 6000 to 8000 university students were killed.
How many JVP killed not recorded.

Victor Ivan was in the JVP!

Under J.R.J. 1980 to 1984
Kalu Lucky or Laxman Fernando

He used him to threaten Judges by throwing stones at their residences.

Ranjan Wijeratne was the Minister of Law and Order.

He is supposed to have ordered to kill Wijeweera!

One my teachers (Dr. Pinto) had given his house for rent to Wijeweera (he was disgusted ) and he could not (suspected of JVP guy) get his VISA.

He went to Australia with his wife and 5 children and never returned.

Then, Ranil Wickramasinghe was a Minister of Youth Affairs.

I was abroad during this period and did not know these incidents except the bogus referendum.

1988-1989
Period of Policeman Udugampola
Extra Judicial killing may be 30 to 60,000.

Lalith Athulathmudal and Gàminie Dissanayake were killed.

Indian RAW created the DJVP.

Sotty Upali of Colombo Central was active.

I have witnessed at least 15 of the victims at Digana Village (supposed to be killed by Army).

The vegetable vender who provided provisions to me was killed by JVP.

One of my patients (girl) under 3 years died due to lack of medicine for asthma.

Richard Zoysa

Black Cats, Yellow Cats and PRA.


1994 Under Chandrika

Baddegana Sanjeewa

Chopped Hair of a singer.

Violence in Kurunegala.

¹971 by JVP
Unknown number was killed by the JVP and I was in the University  and many rounded up the Army never resumed their university education.

1988 and 1989 of DJVP organized by RAW.

Indirectly, RAW of Indian wanted to kill me by their proxy.

I was 4th in their list.

Rape, Attempt at Rape and Illegal Complaints

I was a medical man but I am a civilian off Legal Entanglements for the past 23 years.

I can talk like a citizen.

1. Legal system should NOT be biased.

There should be equal opportunity for parties both accused and the complainant especially, if the complaint is false and a cooked up story created abroad.

2. Accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.

3. Complainant has the burden to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

4. In a case of rape accused should make an immediate complaint to the police and the police should subject her to medical examination as soon as possible to obtain vital information and specimens.

5. It is the duty of the doctor (expert  witness) to examine quickly and preserve productions and give a duplicate sample to the victim for independent examination.

6. I have caught a few paedophiliacs in England as part of my duty.

There was a English Prime Minister who was an ace paedophiliac.

There were 37 paedophiliacs in the parliament during my time.

I left UK long time ago and my last case was a policeman.

7. Attempted rape is a ploy to get compensation.

It is always dicy for the complainant.

8. I represent the innocent who are accused wrongly.

This is a political game politicians use to hoodwink the voter.

There are over 50 criminals in our parliament and stupid voters have voted them in.

Voters need not be sent to prison since their life in Ceylon is a living (hell) prison worse than the Palestine under Zionists.

Transgender "Cow Boys" Destroying Women Sports

These "Cow Boys" are born with a man's body and is a disgrace to sports.

I am one who is against Woke Culture of Biden.

Equality and Equity do not apply to transgender guys.

They are genetically males.

As a medical man I say one has to be diagnosed genetically not phenotypically.

I think most Sports Administrators are homosexuals and got confused in the process of identifying their own sex identity and orientation.

It is a very bad thing in administration!

Bed Head Ticket and Diagnostic Tips

This is just to expose the duplicity of medical wheeler dealing in public and private hospitals.

1. Blood picture is one of those tests that can discover many underlying diseases and rarely requested in present day setup.

Coulter blood count is almost superfluous and rarely diagnose disease in early stages.

Whereas, a simple blood picture (by a competent guy or girl) can diagnose liver diseases, kidney diseases and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (advanced stage of  shock).

2. Blood count does not help except in an advanced stage of leukaemia.

There is a cell called Natural Killer Cell in the blood picture.

This is the cell that eliminates cancer cells and gives a clue to underlying cancer.

During D.J.V.P. insurrection, I used to go to the laboratory secretly, during lunch time and examine (preliminary screening) all the blood films.

There was a blood film of a GP on the tray.

I examined it and found a lot of Natural Killer Cells (simple staining) and I wanted to talked to the surgeon (our PR guy).

I told him this guy has a prostate cancer and did you do a PR.

He said NO.

He asked how do you know?

I told him you have to put your foot in.

He got the message!

This guy (GP) had been coming to the hospital for nealy 9 months and nobody had considered an underlying serious condition.

He did have a prostate cancer and I did not explore anymore.

It brings me to the next topic.

4. Next important thing for me is the Temperature Chart.

This guy who presented with underlying cancer would have had a consistently elevated basal temperature.

His presentation was PUO or Pyrexia of Unknown Origin.

There is a standard procedure for PUO.


5. Next important thing is ESR.

Things were bad under Sirimavo and NM time.

I did neither had a MLT nor a Microscope at my Base Hospital.

I did not have any facilities and ESR was the only test.

I managed to get a stock of capillary tubes.

ESR had to be mounted everyday by 8AM.

I come to ward at 9AM.

I look at the serum and diagnose hepatitis and I confirm that with the sclera.

Hepatitis was endemic then.

Cholera was sporadic.

Careful examination above the serum would indicate the platelet status (low or high).

Malaria had to be diagnosed with the temperature chart but I took several blood films and sent them to the MRI for confirmation.

List can go on but let me stop here by saying that every test has to be supported with BHT records.

Otherwise, it becomes a hapless routine!

Reliability of the tests is fundamental to the diagnosis.

Specificity and Sensitivity are the key components.

None of the current tests is specific nor sensitive in the 21st century.

I can kick the bucket now in peace and I won't  subject to any of these tests except at the Border Zone of a country for a VISA application.

They are only interested in Tuberculosis which is very difficult to diagnose.

In closing, I must state, one of my aunts who was a nurse was diagnosed as a cancer but she died of tuberculosis.

Everybody missed it!

I was never consulted but duly attended the funeral.

"Rare manifestation of commoner diseases are commoner than rare diseases" is a catch phrase in medicine.

She did have all the tell tale signs and a few symptoms.

Perhaps, she would have hid the symptoms to the five girls in the family (fairly well educated).

Uncle I reserve my comments, perhaps he may have had some grudge with my father.

My father of course neglected us and cared for them until they were fully employed.

From them, I have not received even an extra nib for my pen that got me to the university.

Once I made it a point to state that fact emphatically.

He blushed.

I used to love Parker Pens and I still have one as a souvenir.

Thambi Mudhali or English Spy Agent

Point No.1
andyan Convention was NOT signed properly on the 2nd of Match,1815.
At least two signatures were forged.

Point No. 2
Wariyalpola Sri-Sumangala probably did bring down the British Flag in front of the Maligawa.

No monks were present at the declaration.

Point No.3
The British never kept the promises.

Point No.4
They managed to bribed the Colombo centered British stooges.

Point No.5
Forced Conversion to Christianity.

Script was written by
John D' Lyly
Sutherland
Ahelepola
Kapuwatte Adhikaram
Molligoda Nilma

It was never signed but declared at Magul Maduwa and not at the traditional Maligawa Patthiruppuwa.

They (British) were not allowed to alight Maligawa by the monks.

Supposed to be signatories are;

Molligoda is the Kaputa.
Kapuwatte acted like a vasalaya.
       

Kappetipola                       Uva

Ratwatte                            Matale

Kapuwatte (2nd).             Sabaragamuwa

Kada Bandara                   Udunuwara

Pilimatalawwe                  Satara Korale

Pilitathawwe.                    Utinuwara


Not Present and not signed.
Ahelepola
Monarawila
Ellepola
Ekneligoda

All the subordinates refused to bow allegiance to English.

Same evening Ahelepola fell sick and John D' Lyly had bloody diarrhoea.

Browndrigg also fell sick.

No mention about a document until 1962.
Tennakoon Vimalananda started doing research on the document. He was given a putative copy from the London Museum copy.

This document is a fraud.
In any case English did not consider a tuppence to this so called document.

When you look at the signatures it is evident and they do not match.

1. Signature of Ahelepola
Does not match

2. Molligoda
Does not match.
He was a double dealer.
He was the one who gave names of 18 Keppetipola associates to English.


3. Pilimithalawe or Kapuwatte
Signature does not match.

He was a balanced peron but subordinate.

4. Hatara Korale Pilimithalawe
He tried to kill Rajasinghe and failed and was in hiding and sought protection from English.

Pilimithalawe's son.


5.  Kappetipola
His signature was definitely forged.


6. Ratwatte
Does not match.
One signature is in Tamil.
He was a British stooge.
Just like Milligoda he named Kappetipola's associates.

7. Galagoda
Signature does not match.
He joined Kappetipola.

British have trained us how to forged signatures and showed us  how to get away with it.

It is most likely Molligoda forged all the signatures found in London Museum copy.


Furthermore, it was very difficult to collect them in one place since most of them were not living in Kandy but in far away places.

Some of them were hiding and plotting against the English (Ahelepola and Eknaligoda) and while some were expecting the English to handover the crown.

The pertinent point is without the blessing of the Sanga and a vow to protect the Sacred Tooth Relic in the document, it automatically becomes none and void in the minds of the people in the upcountry while the guys and girls in Colombo became Vasalayas of English.

Furthermore, people did not work for English in their states.

Threy have to get labour from India.


Include;

Senanayakes

Bandaranayakes

Wijewardanes

and

Wickramasinghes

This is the real nickname for J.R.J's grandfather who was an English Spy agent.

Thambi does not mean Muslim but Thombhi (Receiving Grafts for Spying) or Spy Agent.

He is the one of those who undermined the King of Kandy.

He became a rich Halawatha (Puttalam) Vasala Mudhali Nilame after having acquired the confiscated land of Herath Seneviratne (Mudiyanselage).

Other double agent was Pilimithalawe Muhandhiram.

English Governors I can remember are;

1. Frederick North

2. Thomas Maitland

"Anangaya" or Love (Bond) Bird Governor.

Seduced an underage low caste (Rhody) girl.

Mount Lavinia Hotel came into existence because of his love exploits. There supposed to be a secret tunnel.

1. Pilimithalawe was later killed.

2.  Succeeded by Ahelepola.

He was another double agent.
He organized an uprising against the King.
To begin with he was the Prime Minister in modern terms.

He was expelled.

3. Molligoda becomes the PM and a English stooge.

Molligoda suppressed the uprising by Ahelepola .

Ahelepola joins the British spy agency. English Spy Network was reorganized under John D' Oyly.

Ahelepola joined John D' Doyly.
Thambi Muhandhiram also joined in.

4. Eknaligida
Another who was vying for power.

5. John Wilson becomes the temporary governor.

6. Robert Browndrigg

Thambhi Muhadhiram was an associate.

Malay Muhandhiram Asana another associate.

Thambhi Muhandhiram planned and helped 5 entry points to invade Kandy.

King escaped to Meda Mahanuwara.

Haragama (currently Gurudeniya) was the tunnel that helped him to escape. Having escaped from Kandy they allowed the British to enter the tunnel and it was flooded to kill all the British Soldiers.

There is still an underground waterway that connects to Mahaveli River and Heen Ganga.

It looks like Palestinians are using a similar strategy to hoodwink Zionists.

The British got the help from Dias  Bandaranaike Family to capture the King.

Felix Dias Bandaranaike former Finance Minister under Sirimavo comes from this family.

7. Keppetipola Uprising in 1817

First Freedom Struggle.

Thambhi Mudali gave a list of 18 names to the British.

They include Madugalla, Monaravila and Ellepola.

Deals with Local Collaborators after the capture of the King.

Thambhi Mudiyanse collected certificates for his service to the British Empire. Some of these documents are still available in the British Museum.

When I went to England, first thing I did was to go to the museum and perused them.

A few of the members of our family killed by the British were recorded there.

Colonel Henry Steel Olcott was the one who helped us to gain true independence which is being ruined currently by our politicians.

Playing Games on Linux Distributions

Linux can run Windows games using Wine or Proton.

SteamOS is a game dedicated Linux distribution.

Sparky Linux Gamer is another distribution.

Nvidia graphic cards have proprietary drivers but most new Linux distributions have compatible drivers in their kernel already incorporated. 

AMD and Intel GPUs support Linux and one need not worry about the drivers.

1. Search for Steam iso and install it.

2. Proton layer to support games.

3. There is also GE Proton for incompatible games.

4. Epic Game Store.

Needs official client launcher called Heroic.
Download and install heroic.

5. UBSOFT or Origin
User defined script is necessary.
Lutris game manager is used.

6. Battle Neck and Blizzard Games

7. GOG

8. Tools

Science (Practical) Education in Ceylon

Current President started as a Education Minister and his Boss, the Political Fox of Ceylon are the two guys who ruined our education in general and science education in particular.

J.R.J. thought by giving educational books free to students he would improve education in Ceylon.

He thought by ruining public schools and universities he could start private (fee paying) learning institutes.

They (private partners) were interested in only Medical Schools, so that the rich people have easy passage to medical degrees.

This did not include dentistry.

This lead to protest and students forming students unions.

For over 30 years school books were never updated.

Global Knowledge Index Ceylon is 91st out of 133.

This piece is mainly on use of microscopes.

Most students have never seen a microscope until they enter a leading university.

Most of them have never seen a telescope.

I do not think we have an Electron Microscopes (not a necessity, anyway,) in Ceylon.

When we were students in Peradeniya we had one and it broke down within one year.

I was fascinated by simple microscope as a school kid.

I did spent my own money to by a digital microscope (student type) for my own research work and it is still in working order.

Our students only look at enlarged pictures of microscopic features at school and expect them to see them under a simple microscope.

When they cannot see those features they become confused and agitated.

They have never seen a blood film let alone a malaria (somebody in the internet say malaria is a virus) parasite.

They cannot identify a macrophage, lymphocyte, basophil, eosinophil and a neutrophil.

Laboratory technicians I have trained in Private sector are better than an average doctor in Ceylon.

When I was working in the Dental Faculty we managed to get 25 microscope from Japan and after 25 years none of them are serviceable!

That is the status of higher education in Ceylon.

Regarding advance level practical examinations were cancelled them in 1969 under Education Minister Iriyagolla.

Nanda Matthews and Cyril Matthews ruined our education.

Please do not confuse with Angelo Matthews!

Except the King, I am older than Putin and many of the Western Prime Ministers.

They were born well after my graduation.

I do not intend to volunteer any advice in education reforms including politics.

I am a fulltime Debian user and I do test Linux distribution for making a general (not critical) comments.

I am a Puppy Linux and Knoppix fan.

I have not tested a linux distribution for the last 9 months (on full holiday) but had been doing political comments (Novel Revolution) on events in Ceylon.
I even boycotted the Cricket World Cup.

There are few other distribution that wirth mentioning.

1. Emmabantus is an amazing Linux distribution packed with lot of utilities.

2. EndlessOS is similar.

3. Star Linux of Russia is superb.

4. Sparky Linux has many varieties and it has a Gamer Version.

5. Knoppix on a persistent volume is the one I carry in my pocket when I travel abroad.

6. I love Tails but I am not a paranoid guy.
I might use it during Elections in Ceylon.

7. Unfortunately Debian cannot be carried on a USB stick except Live Versions.

8. If one has an old computer with little RAM Puppy Linux might activate it.

9. There is Gnoppix a derivative of Knoppix and last Knoppix release was in 1991.

10. I am into Intel NUC and intel now support Linux by default.

11. SteamOS is the gamers paradise.

12. One should not buy a new computer or laptop and waste money unless you are a game fanatic.

13. 4M Linux is an amazing small linux distribution to play games.

Beg Bugs, Leeches, Snails, Cockroaches and Vali Gowwas

This piece is not about insects but about political parties in Ceylon.

I am a naturalist like Darwin.

I love nature and they are inhabitants of our nature and these species have adapted their physiology and anatomy for survival.

All these politicians are by default and nature are animalistic in their actions and behaviour.

Now it is evident that N.P.P. is heading in opinion polls, the guys and girls who were dormant for over 4 years are now resurfacing in broad day light.

My advice for the clever citizens is to be vigilant and not to be off guard.

1. Some parties are like snails.
They are putting out their tentacles and are having a go at the available seats.

2. Bed bugs are the ruling party U.N.P.
Having sucked out the economy they add new taxes to bleed the voter fully dry.

3. Leeches are the cohorts of the ruling party who have a meal once a year and then go into hibernation.

4. The cockroaches are the banks and subservient businesses (Milinda Moragoda type).

5. Newts or the Vali Gowwas are the one without an anus. They are the local mafiosi who gobble every bit of remaining economy and get bloated.

6. Mad Gowwa or Newt is the larval stage of dragon fly.

The Mada Gowwa party is the S.L.F.P.

7. Kala Madiriya or the firefighter party is the Ranatunge Cooperative Cricket party which is throwing flash light with empty cricket rhetoric.
.
7. Silverfish parties are the new parties that are supported by Chandrika and initiated by Kumara Welgama.

They are many new coalitions that are coming up like mushrooms.

They do not look like rainbow parties.

I am running out of insect species to describe the 186 parties at fray in Ceylon.

Do not get caught to any!

Singapore Now

1. It is very expensive.

2. Singapore airline fees have gone up by (6) six fold.

3. Duty free are expensive and very poor selection.

4. Buy your wine from the wine stores outside not at departure lounge.

5. It is very crowded.

6. Airport Hotel for overnight stay is always booked.

7. Sleeping on an armchair after missing a connection flight is not pleasurable.

8. Food at the airport is expensive.

9. Books in bookshops are expensive.

10. Underground train is always crowded.

11. On one of the occasions I had 10 days of delicious English Treats.

They had just opened a new City Hotel.

My luck came indirectly.

I have only one meal a day when travelling since I hate public toilets.

Hotel toilets are reasonable.

Hotel breakfast is ordinary and I love garlic bread (Macdonald type) and they never made a good one in the hotel, I stayed.

So by 9AM I come out for Window shopping.

Also look for a single good meal.

Bananas are my favorites.

Morning dosai at Komala Villa are nutritious and delicious.

I HATE rice.

This hotel made a Open Display" of morning/afternoon English and Italian food in a street corner.

They were expensive until 1PM and after that they sold the balance left, at cut rate to close the shop to save overtime for salesmen.

This was a bonus for me and the items were fresh.

I bought them in bulk for the full day and the next morning breakfast.

For 10 days I had Super English Meals at cut rate and on the 10th day I was flying back.

Regarding drinks, I have a favourite yogurt milk in Singapore (not Greek yogurt) and  tea and coffee I made myself from the hotel stuff.

No alcohol at all!

Cake and the Crow or Kaputa Saha Keju Kella

This piece is about my Singapore Sojourns.

I was working at Negambo and on Friday night I go to Singapore and come back on, a week Monday morning for morning work.

I was working at Sath Samudura (father) creator's Dispensary as a hired hand.

It was running at a loss and his son who was a Lecturer  in Physiology (MRCP U.K.) in Colombo, University did not know how to manage the place with a big nursing staff.

I took up the challenge with an understanding that he should fire any staff member who does not fit in with the system.

I came home on Friday evening having named two

1. Matron

2. A Labourer who was sleeping on the Operating Table of the small OP Theater.

VOG
I noticed all post op cases had a nasty wound operation and V.O.G. was the culprit.

I had a little tussle with him and told him if he is arrogant to any of my staff, I would blacklist him and he cannot come after that.

I made the same threat at a Colombo Private Hospital to blacklist consultants who were arrogant and late in their appointments.

I did reverse ventilate the OP Theater and bugs were removed and no more infections  during my time, there.

Within 3 months we broke even and by the time I left to Zew Zealand it was running smoothly and profitable with full bed capacity.

I was studying for NZREX Examination of New Zealand which was held in Singapore while working, there..

I managed to diagnose a case of Histoplasmosis, which was passed as leukaemia by several consultants.

It is called bird fanciers diseases and pet shops and aquarium are common there.

I had over 40 pet fish tanks at home and was trying to breed zebras and pearl gouramis.

I was the only one out of 25 candidates from Ceylon who passed Stage I and II of the 4 part examination.

Part III and IV were held in NZ.

I hated New Zealand and came back after 2 years.

Read the piece here on New Zealand.

In Singapore, I used to stay at a particular cottage hotel off Sarangoon Road.

It was cheap and was run by an Indian Indian (Not Singaporean Indian).

Bed bugs, cockroaches and houseflies were worse than in Ceylon.

I cannot believe, Singapore has come up so quickly and my last stay there in a different hotel was very expensive and I came back home after 5 days.

Mind you,  rebooking is expensive on Singapore Airline and you could guess how much I saved by coming home early.

Coming back to Singapore and Kaputa Saha Keju Kella, I visited an Indian lady in Singapore on her invitation for a dinner.

One of my young relatives was staying with her and I made it a point to see him every time, I go there.

He knew better places in Woodlands for cheaper shopping.

I only knew Musthapa and Sarangoon road.

Orchard road was like London Reagent Street and bookshops were my only attraction, there.

This lady put a garden party for us.

On that very same day, she coined a nick name for me.

Kaputa was that nickname!

That's the only Sinhala word she picked from me.

I may have said, "I eat like a Kaputa" (her food was nice and spicy with lot of chillies) and I did not pick the hot stuff.

She had some land in Malaysia and promised to take us there and I could not  make it, since my work in New Zealand was heavy.

My other nickname was Singapore Charlie.

That came after a bizarre incident.

My postgraduate roommate who was a distinguished professor met me in Singapore, one day.

He was staying at an expensive hotel and was paying the hotel bill from his meager allowance.

I told him, he could join me and save some money (besides he should learn few tricks and save some money for a bottle of good spirits).

Of course we had a bit of a gossipy chat.

He was coming home on the same flight and university vehicle was waiting for him for the return journey.

I could join a free ride.

The understanding was if he gets drunk I would drop him at home, and if I get drunk he should drop me at home.

So we consumed a lot and onboard alcohol was free those days, unlike now.

We were almost dead drunk and when we were about to land in Colombo, an Italian guy who could not read English asked me to fill the disembarkation slip.

I said OK but my fee is Free Alcohol he gets onboard.

So we had a Top Up.

The name Singapore Charley was bestowed on me, on one mistake, I made in my entire married life.

My wife and daughter were waiting to pick me home.

I instead I jumped the University Van.

Half way through, when we were having hoppers at a joint (hoppers are my favourites) I realized the mistake (no cellphones then) and I had to prepare for a "Big Onslaught" of my life.

Came home and told my mother in law, my impending plight, the next day.

Of course my wife had checked the manifest at the airport and verified  my landing and went to Negambo Private hospital with my daughter to sleep.

I did go to sleep knowing very well, I may not be able sleep for two nights.

Yes, the onslaught went on for two days and I did not utter a single word.

My luggage was full of presents and we never had a fight after that.

Lessons learnt!

1. No drinks on flight.

2. Teetotaler now. 

3. Never forget wish list and presents.

4. Kaputa changed to Singapore Charlie.

5. Never plan short holidays.

Parliamentary VISA Application

This is a simple request from Speaker of the House.

It is very funny in a democracy speaker cannot speak.

Since he can write and my request is simple.

Better still he could publish this data on a web page.

He has to fill only 225 (including himself) VISA Forms giving the following details.

For example he can use Wira Wansa as a model case.

This should be published on or before the 1st of January, 2024 which is our election year.


1. Name of each parliamentarian.

2. His aliases like Loka Hora, Podi Malli, Harak Kata, Boru Wansa, Putta Pul Boru Yaka, Nalla Thambi, Sinna Thambi

3. His birth date and birth certificates.

4. Forged birth certificates.

5. Sex

6. Sexual orientation including Woke Culture.

7. Spouse and spouses of spouses, old and new.

8. Illegal dealing like prostitutes and massage parlours they frequent so ordinary citizens could avoid them.

9. Number of ID cards and Passports old and new.

10. Dual or Triple Citizenship.

11. How mamy criminal offences from birth  listed, decade by decade.

12. How many bank accounts.

27. Name of their Thug Groups and Buvallas



This is like a revolving door and list is expanding.

I will stop at this level, for the time beings.

Level of Snooping and Government Surveillance

Every time one hits the web browser, you are exposed to the algorithm of Government Surveillance.

I think best surveillance is in Russia.

The worse is in America.

Ukraine is in between.

Everything Ukraine does in monitored both  at physical and digital level.

There are Linux playbook answers to penetration testing but Kali is the worst Linux distribution.

Python is the longest but most exposed system.

This is not about hacking but a summary of a Linux Guys activity.

Hackers, privacy experts and freebies are trying to address this issue.

Number one caution is do not buy a second hand laptop. It is already hacked that is why somebody has dumped it in E-Bay.

Just think of son of President Biden's plight. His laptop was hacked, I believe by a Chinese guy.

We will not hear about this ultimate saga for another 20 years.

Outcome

Biden is the first in US history who could not run for a second term.

I think former President Trump had to pay his legal team a lot for his defense for his simple negligence, not necessarily the foul mouth.

Freedom of Speech is ingrained in American politics but F.B.I infiltration is known from J.F.K. regime.

Even Mafia is not immune but their ploy is termination (their legal term for brutal killing).

Please note I am not a hacker.

If my government (Ceylon) tries to snooze on my computer, I would lead them astray!

What is the perfect laptop for hacking?

1. Hacking is 80% human.

2. Hacking is 20% machine.

3. A Linux Gamer needs a greatest and latest but a Linux hacker can do that with a USB stick.

4. So do not let a guy or girl use your laptop when you are having a conversation with a friend or having a lunch break.

5. The computer should go to security mode within few minutes.

6. Build your skill set on a cheap laptop to begin with.

7. By the way, Maru Sira's web site was hacked by an amateur!

8. CPU is not critical except password hacking.
Investment in CPU is not a good investment for hacking.

9. GPU is necessary for complicated password hacking.

So invest the money on the GPU.

10. Linux tools are light weight.

11. Penetration Testing and Hacking are not simple processes.

12.   RAM is important.

13. Multiple Virtual Machines needs lot of RAM.

14. 4G is the minimum and more is better.

15. Good WiFi adaptor for wireless hacking.

16. Rubber duckies and WiFi Pineapple are not all that important.

17. VM Ware VM Ware Work Station.

18. Virtual Box is free but VM Ware are expensive.

19. The paradox of hacking is illegal but your government does it on daily basis on nano second intervals.

20. Does not matter the host system

Windows
Linux
MacOs

Every Unit can be hacked.

21. Some Hacker applications are incompatible with Apple and Windows but Bare Metal Linux can accommodate them.

22. For a Training session Kali Linux is OK.

23. Parrot Linux is another but I have never use it.

24. Dragon OS is not listed in www.distrowatch.com.
I do not recommend it.
By the way, it is Debian derived.

One should notice Linux developers are colossal guys and girls and we do not encourage illegal mechanisms.

25. Cloud can be used for Penetrating Systems.

26. There are other B.S.D. derivatives for penetration testing.

I started my work with an old B.S.D. to erase my laptop of Windows.

27. TrueNAS

TrueNAS is a Network Attached Storage system which stores files, blocks and docker containers.

It is a WEB File Server platform that supports Linux, Windows and Apple files.

It has Free version and Enterprise version which include hardware.

It has both Linux and B.S.D. components.

Anthrophobia, Androphobia and Power Clan (JUNTA)

I am not a political scientist but a political analyst (I see the trends as in Statistics).

Dr. Dayan Jayathilka is a political scientist.

A guy who has read Dr.Dayan has presented YouTube discussion in Sinhala.

This is a brief summary of that presentation  in English.

My belief was that the Coronavirus Pandemic was a natural event but this guy discusses it as a global conspiracy.

Conspiracy theorist can question any global event!

When we listen to Bill Gates who wants the global population to be reduced by 96% so that white supremacist, rest of 4% neocolonial "jim band" of the right wing Nationalists would  dominate the world.

Far Right Populism.

I have realized this for a long time and their first aim was to destroy Russia.

It failed and now the Middle East Conflict is an extension of this Military Industrial Conglomerate Action Plan.

Next stage is Taiwan and China.
It is temporarily on hold due to next American Presidential Election.

CIA plan is on a Wet Wicket since JFK murder plan is exposed and doctors on death bed are giving evidence to the contrary of Warren Commission's conclusions.

It is called dying deposition in medical parlance.

I am of the opinion Americans never went to the moon.

Bart Sibret has questioned it.

See his films and web displays.



Coming back to this Charmera Guy.

Master Plan

Master plan is to induce Political Insensitivity in the general public.

This is what it is and one cannot change it scenario is built in the public conscience.

1. Pandemic death is passed as natural event.

Vaccine induced deaths over 20 million is passed as consequential.

Bill Gates population plan fits in here very nicely.

2. Easter Sunday Disaster was preplanned to win election in 2020 soon after putative pandemic.

I of course suspected this from the very beginning.

BBS was of course the Gota Plan with Kaputa doing the string pulling.

Muslim Division was created as a prelude.

Thousid Jamal Organization.

He says advice has been obtained from Zionists.

The Post Conflict  Homeland Security Structure.

Zionists use this plan.

Create two opposing groups.

1. BBS

2. Thousid Jamal Organization

3. Leader who comes has no sympathy or empathy.

HATE philosophy and totally against Buddhist Avihinsa.

4. Next stage is to bring economic strangulation.

No gas, no food, no fertilizer

5. Give temporary relief before the next election.

That is the plot.

6. Scarcity of Medicine
Let the patients die attitude.

Karma Concept in action.

Minister is changed after having created the big scenario but the deaths due to lack of medications continue unabated.

Passed as natural deaths but these guys and girls are dying prematurely.

7. Artificial Drug Price Hike

8. Plan is to shorten the Life Span.

Bill Gate Strategy!

9. Terminator Plan

Increase TAXES and VAT.

10. Relief for debtors and indirect tax on masses.

Tax the masses and pay the debt.

What a master plan?

11. They want to make the entire country a cemetery.

12. Intelligentsia with money leave the country.

Brain Drain.

13. Happy Birth Day Party with the Junta (Power Clan).

14. Then the bombshell from the Supreme Court comes and name a few individuals as responsible for the economic mismanagement.

Now the tendency is to lump all the claims of misconduct on one family and forget about other culprits.

There are lot of other guys who aided and abetted with the regime.

The plan is to scapegoat one family and the  rest of the other culprits are let scot free.

My stance is for global clearance of the administration of undesirable guys and girls, that include almost whole of the parliamentarians.

Total sanitization is necessary!

Dammika Perera and Dilip Jayaweera are of course are part of this big cohort of corruption.

The plan is to make black money white and all candidates get tax concession and they will invariably bloat the election expenses and get massive tax concessions.

This is where The Election Commission should not behave like a "Sitting Duck" during and after the election.

15. Androphobia

Hiding behind Buddhist monks.

16. Asking for Justice

Nobody has gone to prison.

17. Distraction Technique

Cricket was the distraction.


18. Analogy Mad Modi in India.

19. Breakdown in Education

20. Breakdown in Transport Service

21. Politicians Need a corrupt Police Service for survival.

That includes government prosecutor especially the delaying tactics.

22. They do not represent the people.

23. Anarchy

24. Needs Revolution in Thinking

25. New Liberal Junta is created.

26. Time for Elections

27. Stranglehold of  Corporate Capital / I.M.F.

28. Give the Leadership to the people

29. Politics is a difficult process.

30. Aragalayata Jayawewa

Big High for Novel  Revolution!

31. As regard to the global south BRICS is emerging as a new economic cooperation and this guy missed that big point.

On that point alone it looks like this presentation is financed by  ?N.P.P. and not an independent view.

I stand to correction.

32. I try to remain neutral but has a soft corner for Russians and their culture (not particularly President Putin).

This blog site has a number of  pieces on Leo Tolstoy, Maxim Gorky, Lenin and Trotsky.

Sports Fitness and Injuries

Let me start with my own story.

Peradeniya university has a model gymnasium and sports facilities except a swimming pool.

No problem, there is a nice stream that flows to Mahaveli River from Hantana range.

(There is a swimming pool now, but not maintained properly).

We used to have a dip in this stream and on Saturdays, I used to take my car up and have a dip with my kids.

As an undergraduate, I used to do the military drill round the athletic track before, I play at least 90 minutes of hockey.

When there is an invitation cricket game like Kehelgamuva playing against, a foreign team we used to climb the trees to watch the game with a panoramic view.

Then I used to go to the gymnasium and play some TT or badminton.

Last thing was to climbing the rope.

I never did weight lifting or any muscle exercises.

Simple reason is "all build up" muscles disappear within 6 months.

More pertinent point  was I knew my limit and tolerance.

I only had muscle cramps twice.

Once in first year and second in the fourth year after Inter Faculty athletic meet.

I think I did 9 events (6 was the limit) including 3 relays.

If one takes the military drill it amounts to 10 or decathlon.

What kept me fit was the military drill and climbing the wall was the most difficult part.

It gives the overall balance and my glycogen store was in trim condition since the food in the halls of residence was better than at home. Muscle glycogen is released during anaerobic metabolism and each individual has a certain capacity to store glycogen.
That is the limiting factor.

There are two types of muscle fibers.
Type I slow type of fibers are seen in long distance runners. The glycogen store is released slowly and hence the endurance.

Type II fast type of fibers are seen in sprinters. They are depleted fast.

Of course fatty acida are also utilized during work load.

I think coconut pol sambol, fish (I stopped eating beef) and beef liver at home were enough to keep me fit.

No vitamin supplements, at all except Vitamin C and a glass of beer on Saturdays with a good friend.

My friends used to change every week lest I was identified as a homosexual.

I have an aversion for homosexuals especially if they are politicians.

We have plenty of homosexuals in Ceylonese politics and in our National Cricket.


Injuries and when to Retire

I have had only three injuries all my life. They were minor injuries but one needed stitches.

1. One on my forehead as a kid hit by a makeshift hockey stick made out of a tree branch.

By the way, I used to make my own cricket bat out of imported wood.

I made several and donated to my cousins and friends.

My father never helped me but may be once he made a table tennis racket which I never used.

2. One injury was on my shin when a guy who never played hockey put the stick around my leg.

We did not have a referee and he was immediately thrown out and I continued to playing after an Elastoplast patch.

3. Third injury was when I was 35 or 37.

I had come home from UK and we were playing a softball cricket game at the university hockey grounds.

We did not have 11 players and I was in placed deep mid wicket.

I got a chance to run out the batsman.

By the way, I was bad both in batting and bowling but my only asset was catching and fielding.

I took the aim and tried to throw hard and I felt a tear coming in one of my upper arm muscles (I have forgotten the name of the muscle) and I decided NOT to throw, in midway process.

I was more concerned about the injury than the run out.

Besides, I would have missed the target due to the impending tear.

It was bit painful but I immediately retired and never played a game again.

Fortunately, the tear was not bad but left a stricture and I cannot shampoo my back of my the chest, at at a particular level.

But I make it a point to stretch the torn muscle every time I have a bathe.

The bottom line is when the time comes one should retire.

Of course that injury did not interfere with my snooker and billiards.

I think with so many crush injuries to his hands I think our Sana (Sanath Jayasuriya) cannot beat me in a game of billiards.

I am joking!

If I meet him, I would offer him a cup of excellent Green Tea with a pinch of Cider Vinegar.

This combination is supposed to be good for scalp hair and I am bit like him with silver grey hair.

My advice for him, if anybody requests him to join cricket administration he should flatly refuse.

Current sports minister is a crook and S.B. is an ace crook.

"Nivan Sapa Labewa" to Cricket.

"Death to Ceylon Cricket" is the English translation.

Diplomatic Immunity

I had diplomatic immunity for one year in 1989.

Nobody wanted to join this institution but I volunteered.

The doctor before me ran away to UK.

Only one guy told me to go ahead and accept the challenge and my family was ambivalent.

The guy who said YES is an alcoholic now but I tried to help him but could not.

I never managed to wean him off from alcohol.

Alcoholic is always an alcoholic!

I will deal with the alcoholic part later.

My attraction was sports.

There was a swimming pool and I was in charge of it.

My job was to keep it free of viral hepatitis.

I did it with chlorine and the cost of one treatment was Rs.500,000/=.

My pay was tiny fraction of chlorine!

We had a tennis court and a squash court and I could play neither with those huge guys.

I did play table tennis and badminton.

After Peradeniya University that was the best sports academy, I ever worked.

Peradeniya did not have a swimming pool, then but I did managed to complete the swimming pool project as a seconded officer.

I was sports president, then and we managed to collect the first Rs.100,000/= and placed it in a fix deposit.

I trained the swimming pool guy to do the chlorination for our safety.

I never had a dip there.

I think it is in run down state under Ra Nil (blue toddy guy). They never reimburse the money for chlorination.

But my forte was the billiard table and I used to beat all the white guys at the table.

My charge for winning was only a glass of beer.

Now I am teetotaler but I was not then.

To add to that problem I was in charge of the Bar, apart from supervising the restaurant and the barbecue menu.

Good foreign alcohol was in short supply then.

The bar tender used to break the seals and adulterate it with Pol Arrack.

My clients got the sniff of it and asked me to take over the store.

Gladly, I did.

Key was with me.

The bar tender had to open the seal of each bottle in front of me and record each tot.

The payment is made at the end of the month.

It was similar to University "Water Hole"  the money was debited from our salary at the end of the month (we used to drink on credit).

I told him I will sack him if he adulterates even a peg.

I always had my favourite wine never above 2 pegs since my snooker cues go berserk beyond that level.

The guy mentioned above who said I joined the unit used join me for a drink since rest of the places were closed. I do not think I made him an alcoholic.

He could not play snooker.

There was another guy whom I cannot remember (may be an accountant) used to come to the club and trained him to play.

He picked up the game and I use to beat him in the last five minutes.

Being a good sportsman, I let him beat me in the last game (the place was unceremoniously closed) since I owed him a beer for joining me.

Besides, he can brag about that I beat the doctor in the last game.

If I remember right, I took home all the sticks, jumpers and stands home.

It was sad to realize when I was in New Zealand the Mason Basses had used them to do thier work of lining and my mother in law did not intervene.

Hockey sticks were safe.

There was no billard marker. He lost his job.

It was open on Poya Days, too (for me and the foreign guys).

On, one Poya day a policeman on duty came for a drink and he wanted to take a bottle away.

I said NO!

He can drink any amount on my account but he cannot take anything away.

My security was supposed to be guaranteed but I never trusted him.

Billiards prevented me from becoming an alcoholic!

Indians Outside of Cricket

Kenyans call Indians Black Jews.
It is nothing but true.
I agree with Kenyans.

I have never met an Indian in Ceylon but met a lot of them in UK.

Followings are factual events.

1. Indian Post Office Woman

Long time ago we had to take American Travellers Cheques as foreign exchange.

Government gave us only 50 dollars as allowance.

I took $35/= as travellers cheque and the rest as cash.

I finished $15/= in no time mostly for stamps to apply for various posts advertised in the BMJ.

I was in Hounslow near the Heathrow airport.

On a Saturday, I went to a nearby post office and filled the form for cashing the travellers cheque.

I mentally calculated the amount in pounds and I felt I was short roughly $5/= dollars.

I told her you cheated me 5 dollars and I am good in my mental arithmetic.

Furthermore, I am not an Indian and a Ceylonese.

Without a do I got the exact amount in pounds and pennies.

She never apologized!

2. On another occasion, I went to buy some spices and a few food items for my "primitive cooking episodes"  to an Indian boutique.

He did not give me a receipt.
I demanded a receipt.

When I checked the receipt I found items which I did not buy included in the receipt.

I had big argument with the guy and told him I will report you to the police.

He did give me the correct balance and the correct receipt.

I never went to an Indian shop in my entire stay in UK.

3. Our entire family went to India on a pilgrimage.

I declined saying Zimba our dog need somebody.

The reasons were already  mentioned above for me not going to India.

I hate Indians who cheat me.

4. One day I was stranded in Bombay Airport since I missed the connection to London.

I had stay overnight and there were Malaria Mosquitoes in the airport lounge. I cannot remember how many mosquitoes, I killed.

There was no air conditioning and it was pretty hot.

The meal receipt had to be encashed, since I was  hungry and almost half of the meal was placed in a bin nearby.

The Tea was horrible.

There are many more accounts but I would be brief.

I am sleepy after watching the Cricket Final.

Hearty "Congratulation to Australians" and the thrashing of Indians was pretty good.

Rest of the piece would come after 8 hours of sleep.

5. I was in charge of JICA project where doctors from Nepal, Bhutan and India were invited.

I said to J.I.C.A. I would only do the introduction and the rest should be done by Dental Guys.

As a part of the introduction I made a go round display of 25 slides and few mounted Museum specimens.

With the Indians around I was doubly cautious.

When they went for their lunch I did a survey and found a few things missing (where the Indian was placed).

In the next session, I said few items (did not name the items) were missing and unless they are replaced no more classes.

I left the laboratory and told my senior technician (he is no more) to recheck by the next session.

Items were returned and this Indian guy never came back but others did.

6. This piece should conclude with one simple comment.

I do not agree caste segregation of Indians and Tamils.

I stand up with Ambedkar and harijans!

My batched had a harijan from Jaffna.

He was discriminated and he gave up medicine.

I took him home in Kandy and helped him to get through the M.B.B.S.

He did join the government service and was killed by L.T.T.E in Batticolow few years later.

That is my personal grouse with the L.T.T.E.

Next President of Ceylon

L,T.T.E is creation of Indira Gandhi and R.A.W.

D.J.V.P. was a creation of R.A.W.

This happened in 1989.

I will have a piece on Indians very soon, I wish to call Indians as Black Jews.

This is how Kenyans call them and is a Topical True Statement.

I delay my Indian piece until the cricket final is over.

This is a bombshell before that!

The NEXT President should be none other than Sarath Fonseka.

He is the only one who can take India head on militarily.

He can get help both from Pakistan and China.

He should keep his vicious mouth shut until election is declared.

If he is asked about his probable candidacy he should flatly LIE.

Political lies can win elections and good examples is Rajapaksa Clan.

He should be paranoid about his security especially from Batalanda Man.

Sutra Puncha is good in using people and dumping them afterward, including killing.

It is time for us to dump him for GOOD!


Who should sponsor S.F.

1. It should be N.P.P.

N.P.P. can muster at best 40%.

S.F. has a score to settle with J.V.P.

They sponsored him for presidency and he was Put on Jumpers.

If S.F. keeps his mouth shut and lets Anura Dissanayake does the talking for him that extra bonus 10% is a cakewalk.

2. J.V.P. should declare that they will not put a candidate forward for presidency.

3. N.P.P. will get only 80 seats, if they contest alone.

Turin Silva should work hard to get 100 seats.

The extra 20 seats should come from a few good guys from S.J.B. and U.N.P. dissenting.

4. N.P.P should not antagonize Tamil parties.

At least Douglas Devananda should be on their side.

Historically 50% of the Tamil Community live outside Northern Province.

5. Now the bombshell.

Only S.F. can destroy the Rajapaksa Clan.

This is a wishful thinking!

I do not carry a brief for N.P.P.

D.J.V.P of R.A.W. proxy put me, fourth in the list of killing. I worked with diplomatic immunity and they saved my life.

As for S.F. I have no connection except he was a soldier who could carry a gun in defense and attack.

All the other parties, Black Cats, Yellow Cats and J.V.P. carried illegal arms.

Both Rajitha Senaratne and Kumara Welgama should support S.F. while keeping their party roots intact.

Chandrika at best can muster 25% and her plan is to bring her son into political arena even though she denies it.

She can lie at any moment especially when she is high on alcohol.

I have worked briefly  (on her request) with her knowledge in Negambo, when she was in power. Gamoaha and Negambo are her bases.

Unlike Rajapaksas she always respected professionals and I quietly slipped out and joined the university.

6. I keep the most important part to the last.

I hear that homosexual Ratana is trying to build a Bombshell Saffron Party with the help of another homosexual monk from the Anuradhapura district.

7. Maru Sira will be booted out from Anuradhapura.

He should invest his money there building Modern Hopper Joints with Kheels (Indian)  Chicken Joints for the Buddhist pilgrimages.

8. Monks are prohibited by Buddha to engage in politics.

They should disrobe moment they declare political intentions.

9. No Diyasena Kumaraya

NO saviour would not be born in Ceylon for Million Kalpas!

10. S.J.B has no options left if they oppose S.F.

11. Champika Ranawaka has no place with J.V.P for undermining them in the past, just like Wira Wansa.

12. I wish, NOT to be Born Again in Ceylon.

Indian Bookies, Drug Dealers, Prostitutes and Ceylon Cricket

It is obvious Indian Bookies, Drug Dealers and Prostitutes are involved in match fixing.

At least 18 of our cricketers are involved in this racket, starting from 2006.

ICC knows about these dealing and it is for them to declare these shoddy deals.

If not we have to believe even ICC guys are also bought by the Indian bookies.

Mohan Silva had made a written complaint in 2006 without naming the names.

No proper inquiry was made.

That is how Indians operate in Ceylon.

Not only cricket they operate in Politics and other affairs.


BEWARE!

One Shot Doctor of Ceylon Cricket Board

I am no longer registered in any country as a doctor for nearly 25 years.

I go as an ordinary civilian and I have the right to criticize doctors.

Sanath had a tear on one of the intercostal muscles and I told him it takes 6 to 8 weeks of normal healing time.

He was probably waiting for a local injection.

It was related to his bowling and I told he is more important as a batsman.

I told him it would worsen the injury.

I was doing some work on management for Navaloka Hospital related to National Quality Award (they got the award in 1994 or 1995).

I hired a guy to write the protocol book for Navaloka while attending  3 months course conducted by the government quality control unit.

The lady who conducted this unit died of a cancer related to chemicals she may have used in chemical analysis.

It is mandatory if females are used in chemical industry they are warned of consequences including liver damage.

I forget the name of the institute.

Standard Bureau of Quality Assurance or something like that.

Air Force attended this course.

I did work at Navaloka Hospital and I just happened to meet him (I did not ask him why he came to Navaloka).

Sanath was a simple man and listened to my simple advise and broke the Brian Lara record next time round.

It is the player who knows the gravity of the injury and not these "One Shot Doctors".

I hear there are 30 odd guys who drain the cricket board's money.

Faculty of Dental Sciences is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

I have to remember at least 3 Japanese.
I was involved with them from laying the foundation stone.

Dr. Yugiro Handa

He is now bit flabby and I cannot remember him wearing specks but he does it now.

He is now a professor and I can remember him saying he would be going to Africa.

I told him he is better as a ambassador but he choose to improve health and more importantly Treatment of Tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

Dr. Hagiwara

This lady was the one who managed the documentation and probably statistics.
She was bit stingy and did not give me a copy of SPSS for my research work.

This lady may be now in Ghana and trying to improve Child Health in African continent.

Through Professor Asoka Ekanayake I got her to install a copy of it in the Computer Unit of the Faculty of Dental Sciences.

I managed to find a pirated copy used by the Engineering Faculty Students.

My Microsoft Windows was not pirated and I had 42 odd 720MB floppies.

No wonder I turned to Linux.

It was one of my students Sanjeewa Kandegedara who game me my first working Linux copy.

He is now a good Maxillo Facial Surgeon.

I was involved in recruiting 45 young dental surgeons to be sent for Training in Japan.

Only two of them came back and only one paid back the security and resigned properly from the university.

Of course, none of them can joined the university again and they are blacklisted for life.

I think I was the only one who did not ask for foreign sojourns and I did my research work in Ceylon.

By the way, one of my parallel advanced level (bright guy) students from a different school did NOT get through medicine but got a scholarship in Japan.

He tried a scholarship in UK but failed.

He came back to settle his dues in the university and got married to a Japanese lady.

I told him, Japanese are very bad in English and start an English school in Japan, jokingly.

He took me seriously and opened an English Academy in Japan.

I have not seen him since.

Professor Ama Mia
He was a retired Professor of Oral  Pathology  and I gave my room for him to share.

His English was poor but sure enough he managed to learn English in six months and he made a presentation on special staining techniques.

He dissected a hampster and manually showed the technology to our technicians.

I preserved the skin coat of the hamster and kept it as a souvenir until my retirement.

I made his presentation into a booklet for our technicians to use.

My interest was Microscopes with a video display for students. My video microscope never aligned and what I focus student could not see (no synchronization).

99% of students who had never used a microscope in school were not interested in histopathology.

All of them I believed discarded from schools but working OK after through check up and alignment.

I of course put my own money and bought a digital microscope used by students in America.

Just forget about Electron Microscopy in Ceylon.

Total Quality Management in Education (at least in universities)

R.W our current president (shoddy deals)

We developed a streamlined University Education protocol for all the universities.

R.W. came in and sacked the UGC chairman and destroyed the whole project and appointed a political goon.

Please do not believe him in his educational reforms.

His intention is to destroy our universities and instal private institutions.

He is hell bent on this!

He destroyed the Quality Control of Education in Progress in the University System.

He thinks of Education like selling Wattakkas (pumpkin) and Bandakkas (ladies fingers).

When you look at him he is actually Big Pumpkin (I am referring to his brain not the belly).

Historical Political Judgement

We can be proud about the High Court Judges for giving two Historical Judgements in favour of the average citizen.

It is unprecedented in History of Ceylon!

I have not seen the full contents of the judgement but it is all about "Public Trust" and the "Right to Live" enshrined in the Constitution.

Hats off to guys and girls (very clever) who filed these two cases and lawyers who drafted them.

Judges were courageous to name all including Public Servants and Central Bank Officials.

It is all about aiding and abetting.

Since this is a legal case I would restrain from naming the names.

Very soon books will be published and it is going to be good reading about our right to question public servants who bent rules for private gains.

Adult Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

This is a common (missed) disorder in adults.

ADHD or attention deficit syndrome is a behaviour disorder usually first noticed in childhood and often missed.

1. Inattention

2. Impulsive

3. Hyperactivity

4. Short Attention Span

5. Difficulty in focusing

6. Absent mindedness

7. Fidgeting

8. Aggression

9. Irritability

10. Excitability

11. Lack of restraint

12. Persistent repetition of actions

13. Persistent repetition of words

14. Result in learning difficulty

15. Results in problem solving.

Unfortunately these habits may not improve but progressed into adulthood and result in loss of job opportunity.

Narcissism is common

Features of narcissism are manifold.

It is very difficult to detect since many who have this syndrome do not subject themselves to proper examination.

I am not a psychologist but I heard this syndrome from a young guy whose father used to be the chief technician in the pathology laboratory.

I never had any contact with this technician except when he asked me for a research project, I duly obliged with a simple project.

I did some corrections in his work but did not listen to his presentation when it was delivered

He needed this for his promotion.

Looking back, he is a typical narcissist but he cleverly hid his traits.

By the way, I did not know about his son but  one day he introduced him to me on the street and mentioned that he needs to do a research project.

I told them that I do not discuss projects on the street but one need to make a proper appointment.

On a subsequent day, with a nice pot of Mesna Tea  I had a brief discussion and told him we would do a combine project and he need not worry.

Project was on Linux!

About narcissists some of the features are;

1. Sense of self importance.

2. Preoccupation with power not leadership.

3. Preoccupation of beauty (both sexes are involved and females are the worst).

I worked with one of them (female) in UK and it lasted only 6 months.

I used to do funny things to unsettle her.

One day this huge lady on high heels fell flat on the ground in the ward.

I was behind her and I had hearty laugh!

I have worked with several other nice female consultants before her and judged her as a neurotic but on reflection now, she fits the category of a typical narcissist.

4. Lack empathy.

5. Arrogant.

6. Impulsive

Unfortunately many of them end up as BAD Managers.

7. Exploitative for their own gain.

8. Try to be around with people who are supposed to be important or special.

9. Want to be celebrated of importance (in a sing song, dance, presentation or a pep talk)

10. Want to be admired for no reason or merits.

There are many other subtle features.

Moment one notices them try to avoid them since they slit you behind your back!

They are basically self centered!

Political Bombshell of Ceylon Unlimited

Yes this is a political bombshell.

Anything can happen in Politics in Ceylon.

It is time for me to blast it now and then go into hibernation.

I am a good observer and not an astrologer or a political strategist.

My gut feelings are that nobody can get the 50% of the threshold in a Presidential Election, in spite of various alliances made before the election.

Political division is deep.

More than likely General Election is due in August having dissolved the parliament in early April.

I would revise (there is an old piece here on this site) my percentage political representation from worst to most popular party.

They are as follows having perused old trends.

1. SLPP.      4%

2. UNP.        6%

3. SJB.       20%

4. SLFP.      25%  (assuming Chandrika in the fray)

5. JVP.        30%

6. Bombshell Party.  10%.

7. Tamil parties 5%.   25 seats minimum

This is a General Distribution Curve skewed to the right for the JVP Peak.

How the seats (out of the 200 left) would be distributed for each party is difficult to predict, except in the North for Tamil parties.

Tamil parties would gather 25 seats.

My assumption is that the Buddhist monks will form the Bombshell Party.

My reasons in general terms are none of these parties represent the monks after the election.

They use them during elections and dish them out afterwards.

They may have several monks speaking for the political parties, in traditional terms BUT majority of the monks have become delusional by their presumed political power with the Sinhala masses.

That is the reason for their participation in forming a Bombshell Party.

One monk in particular from the North Central Province is showing all the signs of his preparation for such an event in spite of opposition from other senior monks.

This trend will build up since some young monks in remote villages are not getting their mid day meal regularly since villagers have become absolutely poor.

These monks won't move to Colombo or Kandy.

They have no option left.

The ground situation is ripe for a Bombshell Saffron Party.

It is inevitable due to prevailing circumstances.

I hope my prediction would  not come to fruition.

Father / Mother to Son Politics without Firewall

Firewall in Linux is to protect a System from outside intrusion.

This is not about Linux but Politics.

Ceylon Politics has no Firewall to protect Family Domination.

It goes from father to son or mother to son.

This trend needs to be destroyed.

I do not agree with Kumara Welgama but he is free to let one of his sons taking up politics.

But I am opposed to Wijedasa Rajapaksa putting his son to the Cricket Board Interim Committee.

This guy with a PhD is the worst introduction to politics by Chandrika.

He is a born Wheeler Dealer.

He is worse than S.B.

He changes his party every 4 to 5 years.

If I am the Ministry of Legal Affairs, first thing I do is to pass a law to unseat a MP who crosses the party lines and move to another party.

No problem becoming independent member and voting with his or her conscience.

Not only that I would have legislation to have a By-Election within 6 weeks after cross over.

These legislations were there and Wijayananda Dahanayake of Galle was a classic example.

There is nobody with conscience in the parliament but prostitutes, betting agents and drug dealers.

There is lot of money exchanged (BRIBES) for a List MP post.

The parliament is a haven for the underworld.

Any MP can be bought for money and that includes Minister of Sports.

For that matter, I hate Sirimavo in power and out of power.

In fact, I was one who was politically active to oust Sirimavo.

We introduced Sick Notes!

We were sick of Sirimavo!

Of course, the replacement J.R.J. was the biggest CURSE of Ceylon.

If he did not come in to power L.T.T.E. problem would not have fested this country.

By the way, I was away from this country but happened to be here on the day of the mocked referendum (on 10 day holiday).

In later years, I took a leading role to send Mahinda home.

I need not worry now, Professor Niomal Ranjith Devasiri is more versatile.

I have already named two sons from one party and my friend Rajitha Senaratne's son had a bad omen.

Please note Rajitha's father was a well established medical practitioner. My guess he never encouraged him to become a politician.

I am ambivalent to this father, mother and son or daughter inheritance of politics.

If the guy is a dud one what else the parent can do? 

I must state an action I did with the help of the PSU President. I went with him to meet Professor E.O.E. Pereira who was our Vice Chancellor.

I represented the sports union not politics.

My friend was from the Arts Faculty and he was not fluent in English.

I did the talking.

I said we need to stop all the students strikes for at lest 5 years.

How come?

It is simple, Sir?

The PSU has lot of money.

All the previous Student Leaders misappropriated this money.

We made a proposal to state that, any expense, in excess of Rs.100/=, a valid receipt should be provided to the Bursar for renumeration.

We signed the proposal and we did not say anything to our mates for over 2 decades.

Yes, for about 7 years there wasn't a single major student's strike.

I believe J.V.P. bypassed this by "Tin Kata" or Collecting Tins.

I never put a cent to a PIN KATA.

I think the Cricket Board has a big PIN Katayak which belonged to Sumathipala, Dharmadasa, Shammi Perera and now Wijedasa (Puthage).

Amazing Australian Railways

Australia is not a country but a continent.

Strangely it has only 6 or 8 big cities all along the coast except Alive Springs.

Adelaide
Brisbane
Darwin
Canberra
Newcastle
Perth
Sydney
Melbourne

There is wast stretch of land not inhabited.

It has many type of railway tracks from small gauge to standard gauge.
Melbourne of course has underground train.

The biggest anomaly is there are driverless robotic train in the outback.

Do not panic!

No passengers and these trains carry minerals and coal from outback to the ports.

These are maintained by the virtual computer technology.

I am yet to travel by the surface train.

Dimbulagala Nayaka Thero Assassination

Dimbulagala is in Pollonnaruwa.

Dimbulagala Nayaka Thero was a classic figure who was very popular among Tamils.

He has done enough to improve the quality of life for both Tamil and Sinhala civilians.

He has been active there from 1950.

Both Sirimavo and J.R.J. hated this Thero since he was politically neutral.

They feared that he had political ambitions.

Probably not.

To this day both U.N.P. and S.L.F.P together cannot muster 60% of the vote.

Nearly 40% abstain from voting.

This assassination is not motivated by L.T.T.E. and they have publicly declared, so.

There was no political need for L.T.T.E. to engage in such an activity in Polonnaruwa.

However, local politicians may have had a hand in it.

To silence the Maha Thero.

It was apparent they were not professional killers but a rag tag team assembled to score the political objective.

It is said that the killers communicated in Sinhala and not in Tamil.

Reason for my interest is my father in law went there with a team to meditate there.

I was invited to join but I said no.

He was not allowed to go there long before this assassination.

I sensed something nasty would happen having heard his (Thero) speeches.

Unfortunately it did happen.

Ceylonese abroad, how they treat you

This is not about all Ceylonese but the majority living abroad.

Good example is Nagananda Kodituwakku, self acclaimed saviour of Ceylon.

You just ask him with your VISA formalities and he will quote you thousands of rules and regulations, some of them are not yet in the statutory and refuse to help you.

The same guy will ask you to contribute money to save mother Lanka and hoodwink you.

BEWARE!

Quite similar is Sepala Amarasinghe who pretends to be neutral but a "Cat Paw" of J.V.P.

I think he gets money from J.V.P.

I call him the Baka Panditha!

Both are playing a dangerous game!

Professor Niomal Devasiri Ranjith is the one who can get US out of the deep political pit but he cannot do it by himself and current university structure is completely dysfunctional due to various reasons.

Please do not get caught to these digital guys.

They come up like mushrooms!

Politics is volatile in Ceylon and I believe
Dharshana Hapangoda is different and he is the First Guy who introduced the independent and alternative channel for Ceylonese.

There is another channel run by a few of Colombo university graduates who have no understanding of Ceylon beyond probably Kaleniya and Ragama.

I call this the Gossip Channel and do not watch them.

I am off the target but generalization is one of my techniques.

1. Do not believe these guys when they come home during winter.

They cannot afford the bills and come home to hibernate.

The VISA probably is pending.

I met a guy in Kandy. He was 2 years junior to me in colleague and could not enter the university.

He pretended not to know me.
I thought, he wanted to have a cup of tea.
He could have easily join me.

I had just finished my cuppa but I did not clear the table for him.

He vanished.

I am planning to write a long essay on how the air industry changed over the past 40 years.

My first hand experience in UK which I cannot include in that essay is dished out here.

My first visit to UK was tense.

My brother had left UK and he was in Kuwait.

He deposited a big sum for me to last at least 3 months in UK but without a job I did not want to go on a spending free.

I did have few friends and none of them were established in their own fields.

Rest of them were in USA and I had no intention of going to USA.

I worked with a guy in Ceylon who was 10 years senior and two of his brothers were in UK.

He said he could ask one of them to pick me at the airport and I could stay a couple of days with him.

He was married to an Irish airline hostess and they were living in near Heathrow in Hounslow.

The Council House was small and I had to share the toilet with the dog.

The place was filthy and after 10 days I decided to move to a residence of a doctor who promised accomodation for a few days.

He was Colombo graduate and he was named "Kota Uda Doctor".

That was his favorite Sinhala phrase when things go wrong.

His wife was a doctor (she craftily joined my unit in General Hospital, Colombo) and she went to UK before me.

Her plan was to get the VISA formalities attended in Colombo while working in General Hospital.

She had no understanding in haematology and I had to do all the bone marrow biopsies and venipunctures.

By the way, by shear accident I diagnosed a case of Red Cell Leukaemia!

Her mother could not speak a word in English and I was coerced to accompany her.

I said yes.

One day this old lady came to me and said Vi Ka Ra Ge.

I was puzzled and the street name was Vicarage Road.

First Kota Uda and now Vi Ka Ra Ge and I kept myself self amused.

On the 10th day this woman (lady part is dropped now) gave me the Eviction Notice (on a Saturday).

I was shocked!

I paid a courtesy call having secured a job and they had moved out of Vicarage Road, Watford.

I never so them again.

I stayed in two other places and I was dished out in 4 days and 7 days unceremoniously.

So never trust a guy who offer you help abroad.

I packed my things quickly and on Sunday morning went out looking for a cheap motel.

I found a nice Italian, Bed and Breakfast Hotel in Surrey Garden and moved in, the same evening.

Then one evening I gave a call to our principal's sister in law looking for a cheaper annex.

She was working when I called her.

She understood my plight instantly.

She asked me to pack the things and you come and stay with us until a suitable place is found.

After work she came with her husband and picked me up.

First lesson was to cook my food and gave me simple instructions like raw milk for coconut milk.

She found me an annex for 150 pounds (half the price of the hotel).

I had to put 50 pense for the heating in the night.

Month's expense with food was 200 pounds.

After the breakfast I come out to spent the day inside the tube (train) for heating.

The tube was filthy those days.

Coffee was the worst and Kentucky and Macdonald were non existent.

Chinese fish and chips with food additives were cheap.

Changed to Yorkshire  fish and chips later.

I really enjoyed the two month sojourn in the city of London and all the bookshops, computer shops and stamp (philates) shops.

Tottenham  Court Road was my favourite.
It had Indian Kashmir Sari shops from where I bought two saries for my mother and my mother in law for our wedding.

Within two months I found a job in Yorkshire and never had to look back.

I made good friends too.

I went to New Zealand for two decades later.

There I met lovely Ceylonese friends who helped me in various ways throughout my stay.

I do not like New Zealanders and never went back.

Now I am in a third country in my retirement.
