Some guys are born with talents.
I have found a few and I have guided them to their true potential.
The guys talented in computer skills were identified and sent out of this country with the first opportunity.
I am not a coach.
Besides, I could find or coach a single guy who could lead my field of expertise. Did not find anybody interested and forcing somebody in that direction was not my intention.
This is true of Linux, too.
One guy who was talented did not pursue the career he was selected by the UGC.
I called him one day and asked why?
He said, he wanted to get involved in student politics. The I asked him did he wish to become a politician.
He said no.
Then, I told him he would end up in prison.
Only way, to avoid that scenario is to become a lawyer. Enrol in law college and that itself might deter police from taking him in.
With his pass in university first examination and his advanced level passes he could have easily entered law college.
He did persue law and ended up as a lawyer.
I even called to his mother and told her, let him do what he wishes and the University was not his place.
I did not see him after that and when I surveyed the web yesterday, I found him in the lawyer's garb.
Already his fellow lawyers are up against him. Lawyers themselves have form a mafia against him.
I am by nature dead against these guys in the "Unthare".
They disrupt University Sessions. This was true even during our time.
There was a guy called Malcolm, who was nicknamed "Mathini".
We hated him.
There was another guy who was before him and he was ejected from Peradeniya.
I cannot remember his Christian name.
He ended up in a school in Kundadale and disrupted even children's education.
That includes Pubudu Jagoda.
I saw this guy talking about "Education Reforms" of Ranil Wickramasinghe.
It is true Ranil is an agent of America and clueless in Adult Education.
Guy is totally against Free Education and from Batalanda days he tried various methods to disrupt University Education.
My gut feeling is guys like Pubudu helps the Ranil/USA/MCC propaganda to propagate their awful projects.
I never saw him in the University and I did not wish so, in anyway.
I may have already left the University.
Pubidu is a talented guy.
If for some reason, if I met him I would have guided him and even asked him to become a lawyer.
Other guy I follow in the web is Tharindu Uduwegedara.He contested election and their alliance did not even get a list MP post.
Their main problem was money.
It is very difficult for an independent journalist to enter parliament without backing from a major party.
He is a guy who could have entered the parliament, if not for the landslide of the NPP/JVP.
I think Tharndu who is intelligent should take up law.
His is young and his time will come.
I must make a note or interjection here about Naganada (Naya) Kodituwakku.
He must realize that the average citizen sees him as a political joker, just like Ranjan Ramanayake. Even my wife who has no political wisdom sees him as a joke.
Other guy is Sudath who is trying to collect airfare by Patreon contributions.
He is no better than a gossip columnist and his political maturity is lacking and wanting. His language is vulgar and foul.
Then there is another forum run by a group of Colombo guys which is the number one Gossip Column, which I boycott by default.
I am a scientific guy and an analyst.
I got it totally wrong this time round but predicted NPP would come to power long time ago, having consulted astute political souls.
They simply hijacked the ARAGALAYA theme.
Coming back to raw talents, Tharindu already have had encounters with the police with tell tale physical evidence.
I hope this JVP/NPP ascendence is as a temporary aberration in our politics and true space would open up, in due course, for alternative views.
Two other guys, are Chandana and Chaminda.
Chaminda is salesman in a bookshop.
I am voracious reader and the two books I was looking for and could not find were Das Capital by Karl Marx (book one) and the book about Baghdag, Iraq Museum looting by British and American soldiers.
The name of the Book was Babylon and CIA banned this book.
I hope Scot Ritter enlighten me on this issue.
Americans are good at looting and they did it in Ukraine,too.
If I tell, Chaminda finds me the book or order it for me. He tried to sell me a cricket book on Rickey Pontin which I did. I knew enough about Australian captain and things that were not included in the book.
Other guy was Chandana who was the messenger boy of Nawaloka Hospital.
He was clever and talented guy and if I wanted to dispense and gather information in double quick time this was the guy I depended on.
More than 20 years gone and I can still remember their names.
