හැලි වළං ආච්චි සහ වඳුරුවන් පස්දෙනා

I was woken up with a half a dream.
This lady is now probably in heavon.
She either disappeared or died after Ditva catastrophe (සුළි කුණාටුව).

පේරාදෙණිය හන්දිය තමයි කතාවේ නිදානය.
කතෘතුමිය හැලි වලං ආච්චි.
ඇය තවමත් ජීවතුන් අතර සිටීනම් සමාව අයදින අතර ඇයට  මාගේ ප්‍රණාමය.

වැදුරැවන් 5දෙනා මගේ සිහිනයේ ප්‍රස්තුතය.

ඔවුන් ඉඳහිට අපේ rooftop garden එනවා.

වඳුරු කතා කිහිපයක් මේ blog සටහනේ තියෙනවා. ඒවා කියවන්න.

ඉතින් හොඳට දරුවෙකුට වගේ වඳුරන්ට කතා කලහම ඒ උදවිය යන්න යනවා.

සිහිනයෙ ආරම්භය මේ වඳුරන් 5දෙනා, අපේ හැලි වලං ආච්චිගේ කඩේට පැනලා.

Hypothesis 
උපකල්පනය 

1. වඳුරුන් කඩේ පිටුපසින් ඇතුළුවී ඇත 

2. හැලි වලං ආච්චි මිය ගොස් හෝ අතුරුදහන් වී ඇත.

3. සුළි කුණාටුව නිසා මහවැලි ගඟේ වතුර කඩේ  පිටුපස දොරින් කඩය ඇතුලට ගලා ඇත. 

වඳුරු නඩේ ලොක්කා කඩේ වහල උඩය.

ඒක වඳුරෙක් පොඩ් වලඳක් තොප්පියක් සේ හිසේ දමාගණය. 

තව වඳුරන් දෙදෙනෙක් ලොකු වලඳක් තවත් වලඳක් උඩ තබාගෙන රබන් ගසති.

අන්තිමයාට නොහොත් බාලයට කරන්න දෙයක් නොමැති නිසා ගඟේ ගසාගෙන ආ දණ්ඩකින් ඉතුරු වලං බිදින්නට පටන් ගෙන ඇත.

දේශපාලන උපමාව 
අනුර රට වටා ගොසින් වලං බිඳිනවා වගේයි. 
කිසිම ඇන්දමකට මැති ඇමතිවරුන් වාණරයන්ට සාමාන කිරීමක්‌ නොකරන්නේ වඳුරන්ගේ මුලික අයිතිවාසිකන් ගරු කිරීමටය.

දැන් මම අපේ හැලි වලං ආච්චිගේ කතාවට.
පැණිදෙණියේ වලංකඩ කිහිපයක් තියෙනවා.

මම සිංහල අවුරුද්දට ඒ හැම කඩයකින්ම හැලි වලං මීලදී ගන්නවා.
Tie ඒක දාගෙන ඉන්න නිසා මම විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයේ ඉන්න බව ඔඋන් දන්නවා.

No advertisemement on my part.

මම අන්තිමට ඇය මුණගැසෙනකොට Tie ඒක දාගෙන හිටියේ නැහැ.
ඇය පුරුදු විදියට මාව අඳුනා ගත්තේ නැහැ. වයස නිසා මතක සටහන් මැකී යමින් තියෙන බව මගේ clinical diagnosis ඒක. ඇය කඩේ ඇති හැම වලඳකම shelf life and shelf placement ඒක මනෝමයෙන් වගේ දැන සිටි උත්තමියක්.

ඇගේ අනුමැතිය නොමතිව කිසිම හලියක් හෝ වලඳක් වෙළදන් කළ නොහැකිය. 

අනික් වෙලදිකාවන් ඇගෙන් අසා මිල නියම කලත් හැම දිනකම ඉතුරු සල්ලි තියාගන්න කියනවා ඇය ඒමට අසා ඇත.

කඩයේ අය්තිය වියසනයට පෙර හුවමාරු නොවන්නට ඇත.

කඩය පවතින්නේ විශ්වවිද්‍යාලයට අයිති ඉඩමකය.

මගේ වඳුරු සිහිනය ඇත්තක්‌ විය හැකියි.

පැණිදෙනිය සහ පේරාදෙනිය අසල්වාසින් නිරන්තරයෙන් මාගේ සමාජ අද්‍යානයේ තොරතුරු හුවමාරු කරන්නන්.

Schizophrenia නොහොත් split mind එකට හරි සිංහල වචනයක් නැහැ.
මා හිතන විදිහට එවැනි පිරිමි පුද්ගලයන් දෙදෙනෙකු මෙම වපසරියේ සිටියා. 
මම කිසිම දිනක මේ දෙදෙනා අහාර ඉල්ලන්නවා හෝ අහාර බුදිනවා දැක නැත. ඔඋන්ගේ metabolism ඒක මට දැනටමත් ප්‍රශ්නයක්.

තවත් සමහරුන් ගැන සඳහන් කළ නොහැකිය.

මත්පැන් සහ වසවස ප්‍රවාහනය සහ පාවිච්චිය හෙමින් සීරුවේ කෙරෙන්නේය.

මහවැලි ගංගාව කතා කල දිනයක පොලිසිය ඒවා සොයා ගනු ඇත.

This would be included in my book If "Professor Senaka Bible from Heavon" book. Since he was more concerned about ordinary people more than drug companies.

Monkey Story

 

Rabid Monkey Story

Dream seven was a short one and bit bizarre.

It was a very short one and I woke up with some anger before I could finish viewing it with normal calm and satirical intents associated with my dreams.

It was a small cubicle with two way entrance. I saw little brat who showed a mirror to a money. The monkey took the mirror in his hand and bashed over the toddler’s head with glass pieces all over the place and it vanished through the side entry.

Before I could summon my senses and get ready to analyze evolving situation, another monkey came in through the same door with something in its hand. It was like a club it bashed the on the toddler again. The child fell down. 

I woke up with a broomstick in my hand.

I hate children being ill treated, even in my dreams.

Well it was a dream and I put the broomstick where it should be and tried to memorize the story before I could forget.

I go into trance state like getting a fat salary or winning a lottery.

So there you are, I could remember it to send an email to Maha Brahma.

He responded quickly.

He pulled an armchair laid himself for a long interpretation.

I told it was very short one and what was the long of it.

He said good that you woke up.

You would have ended up with a heart attack in your dream.

Me, getting a heart attack  dream state?

No Way.

Second part was violent and it was all out war like LTTE and Armed Forces.

You mean to say LTTE won.

No stupid.

Then International Community who backed the terror won.

No stupid.

I was fully confused.

Don't you realize this is a futuristic dream.

I asked him,

What was the time scale?

In evolutionary term it is short.

Significant in human years.

In about 100 years.

Who are they?

Have you seen the Planet of Apes.

Yes.

Then it is somewhat similar.

There were series of nuclear accidents not related to war but equipment malfunction like in Japan. It was spread by a mutation of the Israel virus that hit Iran nuclear facility. It went around the entire world in mater of two weeks and catastrophic destruction ensued.

Millions and millions of people and animals died and the whole world was stinking with chemicals and dead bodies of animals and humans. Almost all dog population except a few wild dogs vanished.

For sometime there appeared no life on earth except few plants. Then there were two mutant species one humanoid and one ape, amongst many others.

Humanoid were short and was of toddler size.

The apes were slightly bigger and taller and were dominating the world. They pushed the humanoids to barren lands or islands where monkeys could not reach.

There were no tree cover except tiny farm lands.

Why are they small?

Food in short supply and that is the way the genes have been designed to last critical periods of evolution on Earth.

Big do not survive but midgets do.

Or I see.

I saw a paper on Palaeontology with the evidence to suggest that when a catastrophe of this nature occurs, the surviving animals fill the niche as it were,

It is the norm.

That is a stupid idea know?

Maha Brahma was not impressed with that theory.

I asked why?

This is not a natural catastrophe but artificial and man made. It affected the entire biodiversity including plants and it does not leave ground for a niche or any opportunity for the rest.

See what happened.

The entire dog population vanished.

What remained really went wild.

They went backwards in evolution and not forward like the humanoids with short stature.

Elephants were decimated like the dinosaurs.

You mean to say end of human intelligence.

I suppose so.

Then he had a very sorry and worried look.

I asked why?

Did the effect filtered to the heaven?

No.

Then?

If this happens who is going to dream for me?

Even animals and humanoids do dream know?

I said.

That is besides the point.

Their dreams are not futuristic like yours.

Give me a break.

Are going to extend my agonizing stay on earth?

Would you?

I may have to do that till the sun shines.

Please don't.

I will consider a proposal to the President in his dreams to  have a say and increase your salary.

Would you?

I will try the dream method first.

If it fails I will try the Dr. White's oil method.

Thank you Sir.

Then he vanished.

Demise of Prof. Senaka Bible

 

 Sunday, November 15, 2020
Demise of Prof. Senaka Bible is a conspiracy

This is a reproduction and I tend to believe the circumstances. 

The story then was the poison was put in wine by an air hostess and there was inadvertent delay in seeking medical aid.

The same company conduct an annual oration in his name.

Good old American Methodology, similar to Area 51.

He was my teacher and he is probably reborn in a another alien planet and I believe aliens have advised him not to visit this planet again.

Professor Bibile died in 1977 at Guyana, under mysterious circumstances

The section regarding his death is being consistently removed from Wikipedia by an unknown entity, each time someone updates it.
 

It is a well known 'secret' that Dr Bibile was murdered by inducing cardiac arrest using a drug (s) that has been available, even before second world war
 

Digitalis 

The medicine is extracted from the dried leaves of the foxglove plant.

It contains natural heart-stimulating chemicals called cardiac glycosides.  

Digoxin and Digitoxin.

In fact, on of my old friend who was our laboratory technician at Amptiya College, in Kandy was poisoned by this drug by a doctor in Kandy Hospital.

He had all the side effects recorded in his ECG.

I gradually weaned him off knowing he never had a heart attack. 

This was during my work at the place mentioned below.

I have included him in my book Classic Personalities (Reflections) at Amazon Books.

He was nature lover who survived the tragic Earth Slip in Ampitiya, Uduwela in 1960s when I was a kid. 

This guy planted thousands of plants from seeds he gathered. He used to bring young plants to Kandy city in biodegradable plastic bags. I could not plant a particular seed and he told me throw them to the seeds to tar road and pick a plant or two after the rain. 

I did collect three young plants and put them on three pots. 

My rooftop garden must be dead now.

 Ampitiya and Uduwela, situated in the mountainous Kandy District of Sri Lanka, are historically vulnerable to earth slips (landslides) and soil instability, especially during periods of heavy monsoon rains. No records available in the Internet.

 ලංකාවෙ   නවතම දේශපාලනය කියවීම හරියට වැලිකන්දක පුසන් (cats) නොහොත් බළලුන් වසුරු  / ව(ර්)චස් දානවා වගෙයි. 

බළලුන් වැලි කඳුවල ව(ර්)චස් කරනවා මා දැක ඇත.

එංගලන්තයෙන් ලංකාවට ආවට පසුව මාස 6ක්‌ පමණ රස්සාවක් නැතිව සිටියෙමි.
 
මගේ ශිෂ්‍යයෙක්, රැකියාව කරන ගමං පෞද්ගලික ගෙදරක පෞද්ගලික සේවයක් පවත්වාගෙන ගියා.

දවල් කාලයේ එහි සේවය සපයන්න මා එකඟ වුනා. ගෙදර අයතිය සම්බන්ද ගැටළුවක් නිසා එතනින් එලියට දැම්මා.

ඉහත වෛද්‍යවරයාට නැකමක් තියෙන්න ඇති. 
මට එය අදාල නැහැ.

වැඩ නිමකල නැති තැනකට‍ සේවය මාරු කලා. 
නුවර මහ රෝහල පිටුපස.
මමත් එකඟ වුණා.

නමුත් දවල් 12 සිට 4.30 වනකල් රෝගීන් එන්නේ නැහැ.

මෙම නිදහස් කාලය, බළලුන්ගේ වැඩ රාජකාරි අද්‍ධ්යානය කිරීම, මගේ රාජකාරියෙ කොටසක්‌ වුණා. 

වැඩේ ලෙහිසි පහසු නැහැ, බළලාට. හාරණ  හාරණ වලවල්   වැලි වලින් පිරෙන්වා.

සිමෙන්ති අනන ගොයියෝ "පුස් කක්‌කා" එක්ක වැලි අනනවා. 

සවිමත් බදාමක් ඒ නිසා ලැබෙනවා.

සුව නොවන රෝග පමණක් මට තල්ලුවෙලා එනවා. 
විශේෂයෙන් තුවාල.
 
මගේ ළඟ නවසීලන්ත "Surgical Dressings" වගයක් තිබිනා.
"Expiry Date" ඒක ඉවර වෙන්න කලින් ඒවා පාවිච්චි කරන්න තීරණය කලා.

නිකන් ඉන්න කාලය සේවක සේවිකා පිරිසට උගන්නන්න යොදා ගත්තා.

ඉහත සදහන් වෛද්‍යවාරයා අකාලයේ රෝගිවී සිය ගමට ගිය බව පසුව දැන ගත්තා.

මගේ දේශපාලන කියවීම
 
නවතම දේශපාලනය ලෝකයට හදුන්නවා දෙනකොට:
"බළලුන් වසුරු හංගනවා වගේ" යන ප්‍රස්ථාපිරුල වඩා අගනේ යයි මගේ හැගීම.

ඔඋන්ගේ අතීතය මකා දමන්න හදනවා. 

චන්දදායකයාගේ මතකය කෙටි නිසා.

රනිල් මාර ගේමක් ගහන්න සුදානම්.

රාජපක්ශිකයන්ගේ ගොන්න මගේ අනුමානයට අනුව 10%.

දැන් ඉදන්ම ඒ චන්ද ටික උරගා බලන්න ලෑස්ති වෙනවා.

පුසන් වගේ, "දේශපාලන පුස් කක්කා" වැලි ගොඩේ සගවන්න සැර සෙනවා.

අහු වෙන්න එපා.

කක්කි සුදා කාරන්නෙත් කක්කි වැලි ගොඩේ ගොඩ ගැසීමයි.

නිමල් රංජිතුත් කක්කි නාගෙන.

 

Coming to my original story

Doctors use digitalis medications to treat heart failure and irregular heart rhythms (like atrial fibrillation) by strengthening heart muscle contractions.

Toxicity 

All parts of the foxglove plant are highly poisonous if eaten or handled improperly, and can cause severe illness or death.


One of his colleagues were involved in the murder to ensure that he would not recover from the 'heart attack' by not taking prompt action as well as taking the wrong cause of action as well as a delayed cause of action to recover him. 

As a matter of fact, this doctor colleague of doctor Bibile from
UNO, asked Mrs Bibile for her forgiveness for letting him die that way, implying that he was simply a tool for corrupted multinational drug companies, in which she replied, "If you can bring him back, then I will forgive you". 


Known multinational pharmaceutical companies were involved in Professor Bibile's murder. 

The truth will come out one day as it happens all the time.

Floods and IT industry My Predictions

 
Posted on November 22, 2011
 

Floods and IT industry My Predictions

Global Warming, Floods and IT industry, any connection?
I was post postponing writing about global warming for sometime and it was related to bird watching (that will come soon) and not IT industry.


I predicted this 5 years ago (Flooding) and at that time every American Scientist, including Scientific American was skeptic but the email doctoring incident bared before the Earth Summit (in which only European Nation New Zealand and the former PM Helen Clark stood against that conviction) and all Scientists are in broad agreement now that global warming is taking shape in real time.

I never though the floods in Thailand would adversely effect the IT industry.

There is acute shortages of Hard drives and the supply will fall behind demand by over 6 months.

The best Christmas present one can give this time round is a good external hard drive..

I cannot go for a SSD but bought a SSD hard drive on loan since the vendor guys alerted me well in advance.

Even the computer manufacturing will come down and this will add to the HP Saga and it is supposed to be stockpiling hard drives (supposed to be ordered for PCs they discontinued producing) to make gain of the losses they had with tablets.

This is a strange world and one does not know which will hit you first (debt crisis or floods).

It is both in 2025 December. 

So don’t load your hard drives with videos and if you have money buy at least an external drive.

Happy Christmas for guys and Girls in the IT industry.

I will be writing about global warming in Sri-Lankan perspective soon and not about computers and IT.

Guys this is a good time to promote Cloud Computing and their Server Capacity.

Hurry Up.

Read my book on "Cloud computing" in Kindle if you have spare time.
 

This piece is in progress.
Bowatenna
Victoria

Kothmale  and importantly what happened to the Engineers would be added later.
 

The battery of the cellphone is going dead at this moment.

I had very close relationship to Mahaveli Project before, during and after.
First of all, I am a medical guy in retirement with special interest in mother nature. 

I am not an engineer but had many engineering friends than medical.
I did some reading and research on Mahveli Project in my leisure time. 

I had direct association with the Engineers who directly contributed to the project from design stage.
To begin with, this is an outline and I am going by my memory. 

I had a one drawer full of documents and the big Map of the Surveyor General. 

I am now in Australia and I do not have the original material and maps. 


Before leaving Ceylon, I handed over the Surveyor General' Publication, to one of my kindergarten friends, whose obsession is to go and visit each and every remote village in this country. Unlike me he has been to most of the places devasted by the current tragedy. 

He must be more shocked than me.
 

Background

1. We are known for flash floods.

One cardinal theory of flood management is for every 100 years there going to be a flood that overtakes the previous worst by many a times.
 

I forget the parentage but it is many a times but let us imagine it is 30% worse the previous worst.

2. The corollary is that the flood plane has to be identified for the next worse episode and no construction should be allowed, blocking the drainage plane considered to be the next worst.

3. All the governments including the present government ignore this important presumptive fact.

We were fully under prepared.

4. If the volume excess water in any reservoir is considered to be in excess of the flood plane capacity,  that excess volume of water should be drained off well before any unintended catastrophe. 

This can be calculated in advance with a simple mathematical formula.
  
5. Water is a huge Potential Energy and has unfathomable capacity to cause havoc. 
It is a fundamental rule to be feared and prepared for.

6. We have 101 rivers in CEYLON covering the entire length and breath of the country

7. We are known for droughts.

8. When I last investigated factual base, say in 1995, 10% percent of those rivers had gone dry due to consistent droughts.

These river beds have water only during the monsoons or else bone dry.

9. Because of frequent droughts we tend to ignore the potential of floods.

10. Now let me come to the Mahaveli Project.

11. I was totally against the Kotmale Project with reasons.
I used to monitor the rain on yearly basis and keep a  simple record, simply because, the approach road to our house goes under water with torrential rain.
The rain comes down at exact time, during  the rainy season
I come home before the rain and I wait at a higher ground to pick our daughter who is dropped off from the school van at the Panideniya junction (not Peradeniya junction which is one and half kilometers away)

Three Wheeler drivers refuse to ply on this road that goes under very rapidly.
It is due to the sudden release of water from the Kothmale dam
I remove my shoes and tie them with the lace and put them on my shoulder to prevent them getting soaked. 
They do not dry overnight, if wet.

My daughter does the same thing with her white canvas shoes.

12. One day, my daughter got almost washed away had I not been there to pull her out. 

After this incident she cannot leave Panideniya junction until the water drains off. 
In 20 minutes the water drains to Mahaveli river. 

Not a big ask to wait for few minutes. 
Better option is to beat the rain and come home early

That is why I hate Kothmale Project.

13. Accelerated Mahaveli Project was a disaster.
According to my engineering friends there were many short cuts made to the project proper due to hastening of it.

Proper environmental (flood plane is only one aspect) assessments were not done.

14. I sold my rackety car since our house did not have a garage.
Besides, the access road to our house was built on a stream that had gone dry for many decades. 
This access road gets flooded with every rain and I cannot park the car on the main road that also gets flooded..

15. I am glad we left CEYLON.
Had I been there I would have been on this road doing make shift repairs to the drain which gets filled up with soil. Then the water flows on the road damaging its surface.

In the current scene, I may have got even washed away and would have become a piece or an element in statistics.

The main road got flooded during the devastation and I am pretty sure the access road may have slipped away to the paddy field below.
This scenario is more than likely.
I tried to do an ariel survey using Google but could not.
Just curiosity.

There are 3 houses at the lowest level and two of them have cars. 

They were obsessed with maintaining this portion of the road simply because of their cars.

Incidentally, I was the only one having a car in early 1980s

Others did not except a guy who had an official jeep belonging to the Department of Agriculture.

One Sunday, I visited the house of the retired Assistant Registrar Student Services, to ask him whether I could park my car in his garage and I would pay for the services. 
He did not say Yes or No.
When, I went next time round to ask permission, I saw it was packed with firewood. 

I knew it was a big NO and made my own assessment of his personalty. 

He did not know I was a doctor at that time or pretended that he did not know my status in the university. He may have been a couple of years senior but he already was retired by that time.

This guy had Herpes zoster a year or two later and he became blind in one eye. 
I did not volunteer Acylovar treatment which could have prevented his blindness. It is a cardinal principle in our time not to volunteer treatment unless expressly requested for.
 
"Pinata beheth denna thahanam".

All these incidents made me to get rid of the car which is by nature is a depreciating asset.

16. Coming to the floods, the last major flood was in 1954 and I was not attending primary school, then. But I can very well remember my siblings were at home for over two weeks, not going to schools as usual.
 

We were house bound and I did not know the meaning of floods.
 

I hated rain in any case.

Then again we had a minor floods in between and I got stuck in Natha Devale having brought my mother to see Kandy Dalada Perehara.
That day it rained non stop.
That is the last time I went to see Perahara and I told my mother she has come alone, thereafter. 
She did eventually stop going to watch Perahara.

My obsession was to take photos of Elephants stationed in front of Natha Devale.

17. I did not have any premonition of this current catastrophic floods and in any case, it was not due until 2054, according to my statistics.

We are only on the 70s of that 100 year grace period.

18. That is why I say this is the CURSE brought on by this NPP/JVP Regime who are worse than Niganntayan of India but confined Niragamikayo who despise Buddhist way of life.

I am convinced that this catastrophe was brought by an unforeseen CURSE.

19. Irony, is that Buddha was born in Teldeniya where it is under water due Victoria Project.
Victoria Project was a deliberate attempt by the British Monarch  to bury and erase the evidence of Buddha was born there for good.

Gaminie Dissanayake paid the price early in his life due to this Mega Mahaveli Project. 

In fact to bury the real history of Buddha.

Chandrika did know of the LTTE attempt to kill Gamnie Dissanayake and my Guess Work or gut feeling is that she may have done it herself before the LTTE for political reasons.

Of course, she lost one of her eyes as a price and she was a known proxy of LTTE

Subtle CURSE befall on all these nasty politicians and JRJ had a nasty cancer which I witnessed in Navaloka Hospital.

S. W. R. D. is another guy I disliked for many reasons.
 

His "Anda Govi Panatha" (Tenant Land Act)
is one of them. We lost our prime paddy land to the Anda Goviya (Tenant Farmer) who was a crook. He cheated my mum and one day I chased him out and said never cross me again. I never saw him again and I do not know who owns it now but the paddy land was filled up and a house was built which was a direct violation "Paddy Act".
This guy S. W. R. D. brought in dissent, and lawlessness.
To this day, people used to say, his burial site gets hit by lightening as a part of the CURSE he brought into this Buddhist country.

Disunity!

20. I am Glad Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi is on overdrive and bearing these facts right and left.

Thank YOU Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi for putting out history in correct perspective. 

21. This piece is out of place if I do not link to my connection to NPP/JVP and Indian RAW. 

I think the details are in a separate piece here.
Indians RAW plotted to kill me.
I was 3rd or 4th in their list.
The contract was given to DJVP.
JVP guy who was in my staff named Ratnayake alerted me. In return, I told him Premadasa goons are planning to kill all of you and find a place and hide. He had kids.
He survived but not my vegetable vendor and my favorite patient a little girl of 7.
Neck of the vegetable vendor was slit and he bled to death. Mahaveli security guys did not open the gate so he could get timely treatment. The little girl also died due to same reason. 
She had asthma. 
The asthma was brought on by the "Fear Psychosis" spread by the DJVP.
Of course, DJVO guys were rounded up and killed and the doctor at Manikhinna used to give me a running commentary of bodies piled up at his mortuary.
I stopped calling him at 138.
That number I still remember to this day but real number was far in excess of that number.
The little girl's death made me to revise my treatment protocol.
I give a stock of medicine to last 6 weeks.
I give additional prescriptions with renewal notice up to  3 months. 
I give written instruction in a piece of paper with underlined phrase "do not look for me" but reach the nearest doctor or the dispenser.

22. RAW was behind me because I was working with Americans. They knew I had the American Satellite in our Operating Theater.
How I do not know.
Most likely guess work.
Only I knew it was a Satellite.
I quickly sent the satellite to Colombo for safe keeping. 

If I remember right, I accompanied, it under the guise of taking a patient to Colombo.
Indians for ages hampered and undermined our progress.

Do not believe in Indians
.

That is the CRIME Anura has committed.

23. In a previous occasion when I was working in the University, I had only 20 rupees in my hand. I could buy a packet of Anchor milk (just to remind the price of packet of powered milk under 70 years of misrule).

These JVP guys forced the banks to be closed and we made a secret operation to open them on a Sunday and pay the Salary of the University Staff.
This was the most secretive operstion I was involved in. 

I took my salary and resigned immediately. I knew the JVP guys would be behind me and 6 months later I joined Navaloka Hospital, not as a doctor but as an administrator.

24. I was in charge of Foreign Liqueur during trying time of NPP /JVP insurrection.
This was at IMMI.
But I only used our own VSOA.
Never Wiskey but Gin and Tonic was my standard before a Billiard or Snooker Game. I used to celebrate Poya Day with VSOA. Keys were with me for safe keeping and if I get a order from a distinguish guy (not politicians), I give a call to the Bar Boy and duspense the item.
There were 11 foreign country agents with different tatse of alcoholic beverages.

One day, police office came in for a bottle of arrak on a Poya Day.
I refused quoting the law but told the bar tender he can drink as much as he wishes with his uniform on.
He did not stay long.

I am totally off alcohol now and stopped smoking at 34. Never a single cigarette in UK. I thank late Mangala Samaraweera and Ranil Wickrasinghe for my abstinence. When they jacked up taxes on alcohol I abruptly stopped and never started.

I drink alcohol not taxes is my moto.

25. Chicken was my favorite taste with alcohol. 
I hated barbecue.
There was a chicken special in my name in our restaurant.


26. Cleaning the Swimming pool according international standard was one of my major duties to prevent Infections Hepatitis.
It was endemic then.
With our current disaster Infectious Hepatitis will certainly resurface.

27. Killing the stray dogs was another duty using lethal and inhumane strychnine

28. Writing an introductory Note Book on Tropical Diseases for foreign visitors was another task.
I did not have a Secretary but  used the secretary of the administrator for dictating one piece  at a time.
I forgot to keep a copy but years later redid. 

My blogging and writing started with it.

29. Into Maps and Map reading.
I was good in geography at primary school. I could remember all the countries and capitals by 10.

30. One thing I could not do was to get a job in Northern Territories of Australia and work for two years.
Instead, I went to West Coast of New Zealand but Maoris were alien to me.

The River Mahaveli fascinates me
.

Not because of its nature but because of its use by ancient kings to protect Kandy city.

I have a book on Rivers and Water Falls of Ceylon at Amazon, one is advised to read it.

When I was writing this book I did some Research Work and I realized that it's current route is not natural but man made.

There are only two bridges over Mahaveli in Kandy and both were built by the British to protect Kandy from sabotage.

In my belief Heen Ganga is the only natural stream that flows according to geographical contours with gradual descent, to the Mahaveli River.

I have forgotten the details now.

Coming back to Floods we had a major flood in Kandy when I was a little kid in 1952 or 1954. 


I was not attending school but I could remember for one solid month we were home bound and no schooling for my siblings.

It was a very gloomy.

Years later I saw the  stone erected in Kandy, Mulgampola to mark the highest water level. 

I believe this landmark is no more.
Probably removed by the municipality vandals.

The present Gatambe Vihara was supposed to have not gone under water.
It came to famous and prominence, after that fact.

I can remember only one other time that it rained over two weeks during Esala Perahera. 

I hid in the Paththini Devale for over two hours on that day. 

It was my only shelter. 

I had to walk home to Ampitiya with no buses

I did not go for Esala Perahera for a very long time after this incident.
Elephants are my favorites but now I say they should not be paraded for display and they belonged to the jungle.

What I remember as a young guy was that every time I went to Colombo by bus even with minor rain Peradeniya and Gatambe go under water for a few hours
. 

The bus stops at Peradeniya and stay until water subsides.
Unlike nowadays, rains were heavy.

No problem if I come by train.
The train track is at a higher level.

This went on until grand Mahaveli Project was completed and the Maskelliya damn came into existence.

Only when there is spill over from Maskelliya Dam we tend to have minor floods in Peradeniya.
 

The Rugger Grounds at Peradeniya University goes under water (not cricket ground, hockey ground and track and field, they were at a higher level). 

No more  rugger played now, mainly due to clashes of students of the two rival schools.
 
There is a stream that flows by the side of these grounds and I used to stroll through this pristine stream looking for Giant Danios.

Rugger ground is the wettest and the muddiest.

My research work lead me to reading large books on geography.

My particular interest was the stretch of road that leads from Peradeniya to Panidemiya. 

It goes under water ever so often, even with minor rains.

There is a little stream that comes under Kandy Colombo road and then flows to Mahaveli River by the side of the Railway Bridge in Peradeniya.

On the other side of the river is the Peradeniya University. 

I used walk (short cut) to the University on the rotten iron plates on one side of the bridge.
I stopped this habit when I detected that big iron planks were missing and nobody bothered to repair them.
Big risk of falling to the river if I missed one of my steps.

I can remember I was made to run over these plates by the seniors as a part of the ragging.
 

I did a sprint and the senior guys took at least 20 minutes to cross it.

I realized these guys were not my heroes.

One of the saner senior guys said are you mad to run like this. That was the end of the ragging.

Coming back again to floods, one of the books said that the next flood beats the one before by a big margin.

It only happens once only in 100 years.

Now going by 1954 it is 70 years now and current rain in Ceylon epitomizes the said geographical fact.
 
What I want to highlight is the mapping of the flood planes.
 
After every major flood it should be mapped to define the extent of the FLOOD PLANE and its devastation.
 
No construction should be allowed and should be designated as reserved area and for natural habitat.
 
People who built quarters within the Flood Plane should be persecuted and should not be paid any compilations at all, for their residences. These are done under the pretext of tourist attraction. I say tourist should not be allowed to access the protected areas.
 
MCC program of the World Bank and I.M. F.  have mapped these areas with callous disregard to Environmental Impact.

The bottom line is to protect the flood planes without any destructive so called development.
 
Our ancestors had harnessed over 100 rivers, without destroying the environment and we should make it a point to respect them protect our country from mal-designed foreign investment.
 

Mahaveli River Map
It is known for its scarcity of proper mapping.
 

Original Mahaveli River starts from Badulla and drain to the Trincomalay plane.
 

The original water content is not sufficient for agriculture.
 

It was supplemented by Kotmalay Oya and Pundalu Oya.


I traced them from the Ceylon Surveyors Map and documented in my book.
 

Unfortunately, except where its basin is exploited for commercial activities it not properly mapped for details. 

This is what I have found.
    Nanu Oya.
    Puna Oya.
    Pundalu Oya.
    Kotmale Oya.
    Hatton Oya.
    Atabage Oya.
    Nilamba Oya.
    Nanu Oya (Peradeniya)

Alfred Cyclone and My Previous Encounters

I have slept through two major catastrophes and the third one is building up.
I would  probably sleep that natural disaster, too.
 
This is just to say I can sleep well.

The first was in 1988 in UK.

I was about to return to Ceylon and the family was packed home in advance. 
I had to continue another month or so of my official duties in UK.
If I remember right house was, No.1, Sanctuary Close, Dartford.
I had done my night duty and returned home in the early hours for my usual after work nap, around 9.00AM.
At about 1.30PM I heard the rattle on our backdoor which was interrupting my sleep.
I put the table top freezer, fridge and the  tumbler against the door and went to sleep.
At about 7 to 8PM the biggest thunderstorm of the recent history in UK hit the coast ripping trees, power lines and roofs and what not.
I slept through the entire episode and casually gave a call at 1.30PM, why there is no power.
The lady in the telephone exchange said you are hell of a guy and YOU slept through the biggest cyclone. 
Open your door and see for yourself, that the front parapet wall made of bricks  is ripped off.
The next door neighbor's roof is blown off.
We did not call you since you were up all night, yesterday night.
Have you got any gas?
I said, Yes.
Then boil some water and make a cup of tea.
We got your telephone line working and would get your electricity line up soon.
I politely ask if they need any help.
She laughing said; only if you can climb electric poles and trees.
I said no way but I am available for an emergency.

Within half an hour I got my electricity.

These guys who did emergency and restorative work were the best in the world.

Next episode was in 1994 July, six years later in New Zealand
Similarly, I have packed our family home and sleeping on a Saturday afternoon.
I was thrown out of the bed and I guessed I had a dream and kicked a guy in my sleep and I had fallen off the bed. 
But when I looked at the Buddha Image in front of me on the roof, it was tilted and swinging lightly. 
Then when looked at the pantry, I saw most of the cupboards open and some dangling.
It dawn on me that a major earthquake has hit South Island.
Yes, it was and it was 7.2 Richter Scale and I slept through it. 
But the aftershocks lasted 6 weeks.
I was terrified every time an aftershock hit the floor.
I did not sleep well for over 6 weeks with even a slightest of tremor.
I woke up.

Soon after, I left New Zealand, never to return.

It looks like disasters seem to follow me.

Regarding, floods it was frequent in Peradeniya, those days.
Thankfully we lived on a little hill and water never reached our level.

However, the road get flooded with even a minor rain. If one is caught, one has to take off the shoes put them on the shoulder and bent the  trouser up to the knee level and wade through the raging water. 
One day, when I came down to pick my daughter after school, we were caught in a torrent more than usual. 
With clever manoering we managed to reach for the crossroad. 
I was glad I there when she really needed me. 

No schooling on heavy rain was a golden rule afterwards.
Years later much bigger girl was drowned in a canal in the city of Kandy.

When the Project Maskeliya came into operation part of water from the Maskeliya Oya was diverted to Mahaveli River upstream so our flood plane receded accordingly. 
I was very much active discussing the flood problem with Mahaveli Engineers.
All of them (hired hands) were not provided with regular places in the Estate Engineering Corporation, after Mahaveli Project was completed.

They left Ceylon.
We lost them with their talents.
I never saw them, again.

This is a summary for those reading this piece from Ceylon.

It looks like the Albert cyclone soft landed with category 1 but the torrential rain will go on for a week or more.
Hope floods would not do more damage than the winds with waves over 10 feet hitting the coast and hindering the flow of water of the rivers to the sea.

But falling trees are doing enough damage to the power lines causing interruption to electricity in many regions.

Sunshine Coast is relatively safe but Gold Coast is inundated with rain.
Brisbane that was expected to be hit worst was spared by some grace of Weather Gods.
All shops are closed and we are home bound.
I did keep up till 1AM as  usual but dropped to sleep eventually.
No dreams.
 
We had power cut little over 24 hours.

Complete rest for my NUC and cellphone doing the updates.

The Elephant Corridor

 Saturday, November 9, 2013
Elephant Myths-01
The Elephant Corridor
Elephant Myths-01
The Elephant Corridor in Sri-Lanka

It is a myth.
Yala, Wagamuwa, Wilpattu and Uda Walawe are not connected by a corridor for the elephants to move freely, since the rest of the land is densely populated and there is not even a hypothetical corridor.

My calculation is that not even one percent of the land is reserved for the elephants.

If I assume 10% (ten) of the land is allocated in a hypothetical space on this island  as a zoological garden and all the elephants are relocated inside it for the people to see them as exhibits, and only 0.1% of the total population come to the zoo, to see them on one go (again hypothetical) ,there will be one man or woman standing every 10 feet (3.3 meters) of the perimeter and no elephant can move out without touching a human being.

If we get 1% to visit the zoo, one can stand and won’t be able to stretch the hands without pushing and shoving.
 
Elephant will have to trample 10 of them to get out of the perimeter and see the man’s world, which is fully developed.
 
One may wonder, why I used 10% which is high land mass in commercial concepts.
It is very simple.
My estimate is that there should be 35% (it is less than 25% and we will be like Dubai in about 50 years of development from now-we might even have to import water then) of total land to be reserved for rain forest, if we are to maintain at least 10% of the perennial rivers.
So if we roughly have 30% for the rain forest, elephants should take the major share of at least one third of it which will be 10%.

That is why I state that there is not even 1% of land left for our elephants.
So the natural selection will let 500 elephants to survive in the this land and in that estimate it is really endangered species.

Stating that we have 5000 elephants in the forest is a mythical figure concocted by our Mega Media Men (M.M.M) to satisfy the politicians.
I think each elephant is counted ten (10) times in making that mythical figure, sometimes by reputed NGO's.

Development of the man’s world is also a big myth in the same stretch of imagination, since only a very few with patronage will be able to enjoy it.

I have made the calculation confusing and difficult so that politicians won’t be able to understand my logic of it but the figures are below for one to work out.

Human Population density in Sril-Lanka averaged out but in reality it is much more than that because people congregate on socio-economic reasons.

The population density in Gamphaha is more than Decca and Calcatta.
Kandy has 10 times the population density of Gaza Strip.

Beauty is nobody talks about population control.

I have used the total population projected in another 10 to 50 years for my calculation since total square miles is roughly 25,000.

1000 in a square mile
400 in a Square Kilometer
400 x 2.4=1000

Reserve only 10% 2500 Sq Miles(6500 Sq. Meters)
0.1 of population 250,000
 
Every 10 feet or 3.3 meters there is a man/woman standing.

Location   Indian Ocean     Coordinates   7°N 81°E
 
Area       65,610 km2 (25,332 sq miles)
 
Area rank     25th
 
Coastline   1,340 km (833 miles)
 
Highest elevation   2,524.13 m (8,281.27 ft)
 
Highest point    Pidurutalagala
 
Water bodies     870 km² of water =400 square miles (only about 1%)

( If Water body  is 1.5 % it equals to 1000 Km)

Population density   1000 sq miles
Population density  400 km
 
Hypothetical Elephants   population is 1000 and it is exaggerated to 5000 by local media giants (Biggest lie in this country).

Reserve   2500 Sq miles 50x50=2500;10feet
Reserve   6500 Km 80x80 6400:  3.3 meters

Cat Shit Theory

Cat Shit Theory

CST or the "Cat Shit Theory" of Evasion of Accountability!


Even though, I wanted go digitally silent for good, for reason of my own sanity and public consumption, this piece has become mandatory. 
 
Cat Shit Theory is the closest that, I can get to describe how both
Private and Public Services in Ceylon operate.

Niceties first, before I get bogged down with the exposition of this theory.

All the institutions that I visited have dropped the political colour display to a significant degree, in their official costume (but some still wear pale blue overall- I now hate any shade of blue) which was a great plus point.

There are millions of colour shades that a computer can detect
but the human eye can contrast only about 256 colours and many of us can only name about 16 colors for certain.

If we discard all the colours political parties use,  blue, red, green, maroon,
still we have 12 more colours.

Why can’t we use them, instead?

That is my question.

One hospital had an attire in apple green which was soothing for a patient. 

The workers in this business institution had a reasonably well customized suit but little hint of blue was still visible. The shoes they wore made obnoxious sounds (high heels) which was very disturbing. I even hate the sound the slippers make, that girls wear.

Buddha was supposed to walk without making a noise
or without even disturbing the dust.

One who is adept at meditation walks swiftly across.

Below, I have some advice, I fished out from the Internet to reduce the sound of shoes and slippers.


I

If you need to stop squeaky shoes, try a quick fix first, such as sprinkling some baby powder under the insole.

If you aren't wearing any socks, put a pair on.

Take care of your shoes.

If they are leather, you might want to oil them.

Be sure to fix any loose heels or soles.

Lastly, if your shoes are wet, you will need to dry them thoroughly.


II

In my workplace, it seems that for males, the higher up you are in the hierarchy, the noisier are the shoes,
almost as if it’s in the job description.

Middle managers shoes tend to make a bearable noise level, but when a male VP walks by, I could swear he’s wearing high heels.

Are quality men’s shoes noisier? 
Or is this just that executives tend to prefer noisy loafers by design?


III

I moved into the second floor of a building, right above a family. I've been living there around three months, and my neighbor just told me about this recently. 

The place has pretty bad sound isolation, which is definitely part of the problem.

My neighbor was pretty polite and nice about it. 
He said that I'm generally not otherwise noisy, but that I'm the loudest walker who's lived in the apartment in all the time he's been there. I'm not inclined to believe that he's making it up or being overly sensitive.

I'd really like  not to be a Horrible Neighbor, but I'm really not aware that I walk particularly loudly!

I don't wear shoes inside or stomp a lot, and am not particularly heavy.

I have hardwood floors, which are kind of creaky when I walk, and no carpets.

I'm not really willing to get carpets. 
 
Are there magic tricks to this?

I generally tiptoe walk indoors without shoes; just land with the ball of your foot rather than the heel. It's not at all awkward or inconvenient once you're used to this.

IV

Better quality dress shoes usually have leather soles and a heel built up from several layers of leather. It doesn't have quite as much give as a sneaker or a rubber sole, so they tend to make a sharp clacking noise when walking on them. I've noticed that even the Allen Edmonds I have with rubber soles tend to make more noise than cheaper dress shoes I've owned, I believe because the rubber is a bit stiffer.


I visited Colombo yesterday, after two year lapse to attend to some work for a “Third Party” bound to a wheel chair.

Two Private Hospitals and a private service that facilitates VISA services for UK and Australia.

The latter had a presumptive need to help a person on a wheel chair but did not have a dedicated individual.

In one of the cubicles, negotiating the wheel chair was almost impossible.

But all these institutions have individuals (not trained, though) designated as security officers.

Business on Wheel Chair is a thorn in the flesh of Ceylon and no government institution has even help for a person gone blind after retirement.

That is the bitter part of service orientated institutions in Ceylon.

In the two hospitals, I visited one with a dress code, the runners were used as it to
cover up the inefficiency of the service.

A procedure centralized with a proper software (ideally Linux not Microsoft) management, I believe all the procedures could have been finished in an hour the most,
but it took 3 hours even after making an appointment at a fixed time.

The doctor was late and there was no proper management system to expedite the process.

Mind you in early 1990s,
I was involved in promoting the National Quality Award (for the first time) for the other institution and it has slipped down drastically in its procedural aspects, in spite of the massive expansion of its facility.

All the grand institutions of yesteryear, including the
Elephant House Fountain cafe are no more and are gobbled by this institution.

The restaurant was awful and nasty.

I decided to go to Majestic City and bring some food for the patient (while the patient was waiting for the consultation, nearly three hours) after a fixed appointment.

I asked the next in line after us and he had been waiting for 5 hours.

This place was for the visually handicapped and the lighting was very poor
, even I could not find the numbered room after going up and down for three times.

The entrance was narrow and did not give any consideration for a handicapped person (no wheel chair) entering.
The security officer was more interested in acting as a traffic warden rather than a nurse in attendance.

Mind you blindness is a big handicap.

If the person did not come with a helper he or she would be knocked down by the next vehicle that enter, the institution.

This is after paying a hefty fee.

What the public announcer saying was incomprehensible, like a railway station in London of yesteryear.

It is no different to public sector except for the time and money wasted.

Now with that preamble with lot of diversion, I would like to expand on the “
Cat Shit Theory”.

Cats are very good at covering up their mess after voiding  without soiling their paws.

What a blessing if the dogs also had that facility fine tuned in their brain?

My dog of course, make it a point to do it outside, very rarely accidents inside even as a puppy. We never trained him but he has realized that even as a totally blind soul he wished not to do it inside.

Now come to humans.

They are very good at covering their excesses and misappropriations, just like cats covering their mess under soil.

The difference is they soil their  hands and soul with tell tale tracks.

Ceylonese, especially the politicians for the last 38 years (17 under UNP and 21 under SLFP) covered up their tracks as diligently as cats but the only exception is the
Armed forces including the Police.

Now it seems the Law and Order Minister has come forward and stifle the progress of any investigation by the AG (with officers of the office aiding and abetting) against persons of wrong doings in the forces.

The Lasantha Wicramatunge murder is a case in point and not yet properly investigated.

Not a single investigation has been concluded independently to full satisfaction of a global citizen.

I go under the banner of global citizen
.

I need to pen down how our excellent public service under
British Administration was destroyed by successive Presidents of this country.

All Presidents without exception are bane of this country. 
That is why I want it (Presidency) abolished as soon as possible and go back to parliament system.
Then at every electron we can get rid of the rouge elements in the legislature by vote.

No list MPs please! 

Let me start with President Premadasa as a Minister of Land and Construction under JRJ.
He had the canny habit of delivering letters to his followers by hand in every electorate (as a preparation for campaigning for Presidency much later) he visited.
In reality officer in charge can release these letters much earlier without waiting for the Minister to deliver it at his political meeting. 
He had directed his public servants to hold onto them (letters of approval or any similar official sanction or deeds) as long as he visits the electorate in his political schedule.
He has a saying that "he will act on anything within 24 hours", though. 
So officials of the Public Service collect all the outstanding letters for him to deliver personally and get the credit from his voters.
All the public servants in high officers became his political stooges and redundant in this political exercise. 
That is the beginning of the downfall of the Independent Public Service. 
Of course there were rogue elements in the public service who solicited bribes for simple work.
That had been in practice from 1970s if not sixties.
This is much worse but a political bribe.
Under his administration many of the Ministers (I decline mentioning their names here and many of them were considered as his enemies) had major  mishaps related to LTTE.
LTTE had printed large amount of counterfeit Rs.100/= notes with the sword of the Lion upside down.
The notes were not visibly different from that were 
 official notes but to the touch they felt different.
I was working in a Private Hospital then and one day a chap who could not sign his name paid a large bill.
I happened to be with the Manager and I was bit suspicious of the chap and took the notes from the bundle and palpate them for texture and told the manager, they were fake notes.
I took few notes and held one by one to sunlight and discovered the upside down sword in them.
The manager was surprised but I told him do not make an issue since the patient was still hospitalized and make some inquiries to see who this guy was.
I told my senior of the discovery and he did not object to my investigation.
The guy was a smuggler who bartered diesel and petrol to LTTE in high seas at Kalpitiya.
Then we made sure the patient brought in real notes not faked ones at discharge.
That was my first discovery and within a few months every second Rs.100/= was a faked one. 
We declined to take any payments in Rs. 100/= notes for a while.
As it is the government took some time to discover this and the Central Bank took a low profile probably under instruction from the higher ups.
The popular belief then was that the LTTE had delivered large consignment of faked notes through one of their insiders in the government for foreign exchange.
This money was used for buying first cache of arms for the LTTE.
This is to illustrate how we were taken for a ride including the Central Bank.
Then the Bank started destroying the notes in circulation with the sword upside down and started issuing slightly different new Rs. 100/= note with a strip inside over a year. 
Little I say about Chandrika's Presidency is sufficient.
Public Service including the Armed Services deteriorated under her command much lower than the UNP regime.

Under Mahinda Rajapaksa total destruction of the Public Service started with fresh appointment of very large number of party stooges to all institutions from Samurdi to Bank (servants). 

These stooges did not have any training but political clout. 

So in 21 years SLFP destroyed the Public Service including the Education department.

Some of the things, I cannot publish here regarding police officers and school principals.

Just today, I went to pay a bill and the cashier threw the balance back at me even without an eye contact. 

I just knowing the consequences I stomached it up and decided to pen the frustration down here.

All the government institution including semi-commercial ones fall into this fold except one.

That is the Office of The Commissioner of Elections.

Mahinda Deshapriya
( Now I believe that he is a crook) and his team of officers are the only officers who could rise up to the need of this century.

If they can do it why can't the others follow suit?

It is because when we allow the system to rot for over 20 years, getting them back to serve people takes 100 years or more.

It is an uphill task but we have to start somewhere.

Only way we can achieve this is by sending few of the officials of the former regime to prison for good.

But the current legal system protect them like "CAT SHIT".

So we are a CAT SHIT COUNTRY.

The ruination is obvious even in courts and lawyers, both in state and private institutions are no different. 

To get ride of the rouges in our parliament we should have the "
First Past The Post" elections soon and constitution should abolish the post of Presidency and revert back to Parliament System of administration.
We were good in doing that until 1977 when JRJ came in and made a mockery (of the current system) of our democracy.
If that is not done by the current regime, I wish I should not be born again in this country.
I can't go to the Hell too, since its current director is an ex-president of this country.

Brain Train Dream Scheme in Heaven

 

Brain Train Dream 

The Scheme in Heaven

This dream was short but I think it is appropriate for me to reproduce it here since it is relevant to Metta Meditation and Heavenly Aboard. 

In my dream, I was in real trouble.

I was trying to find a toilet for number 1 job.

Not number 2.

I was on holiday of some sort, in an unfriendly  place on this planet.

It was a remote place which looked like Alaska.

It would not have been in Alberta, looking for tar sand or rare earth metal deposits. 

Alberta is a landlocked province located in Western Canada which I have no intention of visiting in this life.

Trouble was I could not find a self contained cubicle to do my job.

Out of sight and out mind type of scenario.

Finally, I found a place without the roof with the squatting plate made of marble. 

A posh site without  guys waiting in a queue to follow me.

What was striking was it  was without a roof, in open air.

Refreshing for a void.

It got to be Alaska not Alberta.

Then I sat down but its size and proportions made me to realize it was not made for a man of my size but probably for a giant.

The second problem was to find a little plastic container to fetch some water to do the final bottom clean up.

Unlike, the guys and girls of the West who use paper toilet, we still prefer the wet toiletry and getting wet in the process.

Finally, I found a thrash can.

In actual fact three in number placed one on top of the other. 

It looked like an alien vessel left by a pre-historic alien visitor. 

The top part for navigation, the middle part for the aliens and the third part for safe landing, may be.

It was almost fossilized.

I dug it up from the snow and found the door for the middle compartment.

I was finally ready, armed to the teeth as it were, now of course, ready for the plunge or the big drop. 

I was figuring out how to make a simple do and make a quick exit before somebody click an iReport on my exploits on a hitherto barren land and send it to CNN for a quick Flash of News.

I was rudely interrupted by a guy who looked to me like 5 star janitor wearing something which looked like a spacesuit which I had not seen before.

It was bright and in golden color.

Other strange thing was he looked like he never touched the ground, as if he was levitating.

He splashed a golden creamy stuff which looked like egg shampoo, on the marble floor and then splashed double the amount of the stuff on the bath tub (size of tiny water pool) and turned round in a flash towards me, telling me, that I should position my feet on the correct alignment marked by what looked like to me an elephant footprints and to my amazement he was trying to positioned my feet and not my bottoms on the correct trajectory.

It was a strange feeling.

I was trying my bottom to be in correct alignment in this massive cesspit but he was trying to get my feet aligned and he was about to hold my foot and I felt ticklish and embarrassed.

Next thing, I knew was I was holding my right foot with one hand and the other hand on my bottoms to see whether I had some accidental runs in my sleep.

Neither.

Woke up but not in need for any voids.

In any case, in my half dreamy state I walked to the toilet and tried the big one.

No void.

Tried the number two, a tiny dribble.

I soon realized, I was only dreaming and quickly went back to my bed for the second round of my sleep without any interruption by  dreams or mosquitoes.

I was hard pressed for a good dream and Maha Brahma would be equally pleased to interpret this in any case, I decided to email it when I am really woken up and in correct senses.

True to his character he answered the dream in kind.

I asked him was there a second part.

NO he said.

Is it futuristic?

Yes he said.

Was it Alaska?

NO.

Where was it?

Can't you guess?

It got to be heaven.

It got to be me going to heaven?

I am not suppose to tell that to you in advance.

It was very dull dream, I reflected.

No son, it is a very good one.

In case, if you want to come here it is good for you to know the heaven protocol.

Isn't it?

Yes Sir.

Are there marble toilets in heaven?

We really like marble floors on toilets.

Even on our final resting place on earth is marble floored and lined, I told him.

The last thing we do before we leave earth is,

Say Good Bye to toilets.

We do not have toilets in heaven.

But we have a small area designated for earthlings just before one enters heaven.

What you saw in your dream is the quarantine in practice.

Who was that guy?

Was he doing quarantine?

He was a guy working in the parliament in Ceylon. He was the one who used to remove all the offensive language before entering them into the Hansard.

Is that enough to enter heaven?

Yes.

In that case no parliament MP enters the heaven.

Yes.

Thank God for telling that truth.

Shall I tell you the protocol now?

Yes, Sir.

We have 10 steps for proper quarantine at the gate of heaven. 

I will give that in a list form.

OK, Sir.

Protocol Before Entering Heaven

Ten Steps

1.Bowel Wash

First we clean the bowel with a bowel wash.

2. Hand Washand Body Wash

Nothing unusual but may not need any detergents.

Simple soap is allowed if requested.

3. Content Incineration

All the food in bowel washouts in this stage is incinerated.

4. Head Wash

Most of these items are done by the funeral directors.

Aren't they?

Yes, but the heaven we still prefer a follow up clean.

5. Brain Wash

Washing the brain of rubbish that are put on you by the psychologists.

Under hypnosis a psychologist on earth will tell you that one swallows 3 to 10 spiders a night on an average. This type of false propaganda has to be washed out completely.

6. Brain Drain

Is a technique to get all redundant information like

Positive Thinking

Creative Brain

Logical Brain

Lateral Brain

One uses 10% of the Brain, and the lot.

Then we drain all the psychological theories put on your brain by management trainers on earth.       They are all rubbish and has no validity on heaven.    This is the most difficult part of the clean up process.

Then I told him we spend enormous amount of money for these training programs.

That is not my problem.

But if you can avoid these American programs,        it is so much the better, if you consider entering heaven.

You mean to say, lot of Americans will never sight the heaven.

That is True my dear.

What about their M.B.A. and Emotional Intelligent Training, they teach in Harvard.

They are useless in heaven.

7. Brain Train

Then we train them to think.

After the above six stages we start on “Moment Meditation”.

I said, I was very good at present moment meditation training and since I was very short of memory, especially of the past events.

But I am very bad at “Metta Meditation”, since we have lot of mosquitoes in Ceylon.

If I can avoid killing mosquitoes that is the entry point toMetta Meditation” in real.

Since, I do not have any enemies in heaven,       I have to quitMetta Meditation.

In my past life, I have had only a few friends and I am not sure any of them have entered heaven, before me.

8. Moment Meditation

I do it myself.

9. Metta Meditation.

I actually delegate this part to earthlings who come here. But when I saw the nice aura around your vertex, I was naturally inquisitive.

10. Train Control Room

This is for other earthly beings.

When I get any of those Trained Brained Guys (T.B.G) from earth come here by sheer chance and  when they asked me for big favours, I put them in a Train and put one of their guys in  the control room.

I take a break, immediately.

These clever guys on earth must get to very good places in heaven, won't they?

NO.

What?

They drive themselves to Hell in this train.

Hell?

Yes.

Don't you realise that one needs very little brain to enter heaven.

You only need a big brain to hoodwink another big brain.

That is necessary only on earth.

Not in heaven.

Don't be too brainy and he disappeared.
