Welcome to my Blog

A warm welcome to my Blog

I shall post some news of interest to Sri lankans about life in Sri Lanka in the period 1950-1960 mainly. This will feature articles on music, general history and medicine. I am dedicated to humanism and refuse to judge people according to labels they are born with. Their actions and behaviour shall be my yardsticks, always cognizant of the challenges they faced in life.

UK based Mahendra Gonsalkorala will speak on "Challenges and Opportunities of an Ageing Society". Well-known sex education expert Sriani Basnayake’s topic would be: "What prevents the urge to merge - the problem of Non Consummation."
