At a young age, I was sometimes seen by senior professors as a son of then- Librarian Mrs. Sumana Jayasuriya. Many people have asked me about this because Dr. Padmasiri, one of my senior colleagues and now the Librarian of the University of Visual and Performing Arts and I always used to go to the Faculty Club with Mrs. Jayasuriya. There were three dining tables in the Faculty Club at that time, with very senior staff sitting at one table and the other also with some senior professors and the third table sitting with people of lesser in seniority. Distinguished Professors such as Deshamanya Emeritus Professor W.D. Lakshman, Prof. Tilak Hettiarachchy, the late Vidya Jyothi Professor V.K. Samaranayake, Prof. P.W. Apasinghe, Prof. Raja De Fonseka, Prof. Niel Fonseka etc with Mrs. Jayasuriya used to sit at the senior table and my boss Mrs. Jayasuriya forced me to sit at the same senior table with her. Although I was well aware that halmasso between Thoru and Moru were inappropriate, I did not dare to speak out against my boss at that time.

    Adam’s Peak… Sri Pada… Sivanolipatha Malai one mountain peak… a footprint at its crest.... intrigues Buddhists who believe the foot print to be that of Lord Buddha… intrigues Hindus who think the footprint may be that of Lord Shiva… intrigues Christians and Muslims alike, who surmise the foot print could be that of Adam as he first set foot on earth… and in being a focal point for the great religions that most Sri Lankans are adherents of... it intrigues us all... as a telling symbol of Unity in Diversity… to a Nation on the threshold of Resurgence and Rebuilding With a history dating back over 2500 years, Sri Lanka was truly the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. We were an important stop along the Silk Route… our spices drew traders from afar to our shores… after the traders, came the colonisers, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British. Our lush and verdant paddy lands gave way to tea, rubber and coffee… and to other infrastructural development such as roads and railways. This is but a ‘thimbleful’ of the colourful history of the jewel shaped island, Sri Lanka, we call home. As in all affairs of men, we embraced the good and the not so good! External influences brought diversity of races, religions, cultures, food and flora, to name a few. With such change came enrichment as well as enmity… the latter aspect brought into modern focus by an internecine terrorist conflict that had ravaged the country for almost 30 years. And so, the one time ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, ‘Taprobane’, ‘Serendip’ became a ‘Third World’, ‘developing’ and as some would have it, an ‘underdeveloped’ country.
