I was a Third Year Medical Student.
This was the time we even had industrial strikes if a single human hair was in our String Hopper Evening Meal. We could finish 30 effortlessly.
This day was ordinary.
I had come after a game of Hockey and had a bath and was having a quiet time in my adopted room in Jayathilake Halls of resudence. My regular Halls of Residence was Arunachalem which I really like. Right in front of the Univerity Grounds whete we had a major tussle with our Army and also P. M. Dudley Senanayake. Yes, P. M could come and address the students, those days.
I heard a commotion and came up to the balcony and was watching from above. I wad not part to the incident but a passive watchman.
Closer look at the scene, I saw five of our dons having a heated argument with the students. They were numerically outnumbered.
We had the Faculty Club, literally the University Bar with low priced alcohol.
These guys have had a round of drinks and were high. One of the insane guys, most likely Brian Seneviratna had had proposed, "Let Us go and catch some senior guys ragging juniors" or something to that effect.
This was going on for long with no sight of ending, the now growing tussle with almost the fists landing on dons.
I thought this is a bad joke and entered the dons side and said to my seniors these are my teachers and they ought to be released. Then of course sane seniors intervened and we went on out own ways.
This was getting dark and the dons wete drunk and they could not physically identify them to panish.
This Brian Seneviratna guy had called the our President of the Union to hold an emergency meeting.
In the meeting he demanded that I should give the names of the guys involved.
I said now way and I did not know most of them and had I known them, I would not volunteer.
I thought the incided ender there but not really.
I had to sacrifice my Second Class in the Finals. I was confident I would at least get a second class.
Now I think it was a blessing, I hated medicine and I would have become a hopeless clinicians except in Neonatal Medicine.
One of my close relation was the Assitant Registrar and he told me I missed the second class by a wisker and that guy Brian Seneviratna stongly opposed me getting the class I deserved. Had I not reached that level this guy would have failed me in the Finals.
I confronted him and said he won't last long in the Facilty.
I reported all the sodid things he did as a Seconded Officer from the Deparment of Health. He did not lasy long.
Bad Egg by all means.
I do not know what happened to him afterwards.
No interest at all and vouched myself never to join the Faculty.
Then again there was another Professor of Medicine who was distorting Buddhism and I confronted him said teach Medicine not Buddhidm. He did some below par work on Rebirth which is my current interest.
Hate was such, I ended up in Faculty of Dental Sciences and prerended to be more Dental than Medical but I have a bad set of teeth due to lot of Sugars.
I love sugary stuff and I thankfully not diebetic.
