BEYOND BORDERS – by Bernard VanCuylenburgsource: www.don-mclean.com Another most interesting story from a most interesting Author/Writer, another talented Sir Lankan Gentleman who shares his “personal stories” with us, lucky eLanka readers. Grabs you, the reader from the very first sentence, Bernard, again, does what I like to do. He brings back many precious memories of old Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Although, with a Surname of VanCuylenberg which is as Dutch as “Gezelligheld”(cosy togetherness), Bernard’s ancestors, also, like my own, migrated to “Our Lovely Island Home” from Erin. (Ireland). I do not intend to make this introduction too long, but I feel certain that Bernard will enjoy & reminisce on the song I have chosen for him. Thank you for your input to eLanka Bernard, now, please enjoy my special “pick” of a most beautiful Irish song that I think you love, as well. … Des Kelly ...
“MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS” by Des Kelly Source: barnabyjoyce.com.au This is something that we Lankans are extremely good at. We always mind our own business. Unlike any other Country, Australia included, Sri Lankans would NEVER ever go into each others’ homes & gossip. Our Politicians are beyond reproach. They would ALWAYS think about the less- affluent. Comfort, as far as THEY are concerned, must be afforded to the poor, needy, & sometimes starving Communities. “We have plenty of money” they tell their millions of happy Citizens.”Now, we will look after you-all, and make sure that you will be able to afford to buy that coconut and make your sambol with real coconut instead of the dessicated muck that we have to import” “Why, chile,” says the Minister, whose parents sent him to Oxford to learn English, “knowing people only know we are who are”, the crowd smile and nod their ...

“SHINE ON, VICTOR” by Des Kelly Victor Melder, the name “jumps out” to all Lankans in Australia, simply because there aren’t too many of our Lankan/Aussies, especially in Melbourne who haven’t been helped, in one way, or another, by the man with the Sri Lankan Library who lives in Broadmeadows. Victor has been duly recognised by the City of Melbourne as a “walking encyclopedia” on all things Sri Lankan. At his “home-library”, Victor is in the process of finding out that there is hardly any room, at the moment, for any more copies of the “Ceylon Observer” or the “Times of Ceylon”, Newspapers that no doubt, he will remember. “Well, maybe a couple of copies of each”, he says, “but no more, thanks” Victor Melder was also a C.G.R. man, special Lankan folk who loved trains, steam-engines, I will never forget the ride on one of ...
“THIS DOG SAVED MY LIFE” by Des Kelly “THIS DOG SAVED MY LIFE” Was the original “title” of this “true story” sent to me today, the 4th of February, 2018, by another good friend, Charles Schokman, which gave me another idea for eLanka. If, & when I receive anything (like this), from all you Lankan/ Aussies, or anyone else, for that matter, and I feel that my readers will gain some benefit from it, I intend to get it on eLanka as soon as possible, after first giving credit where credit is due, in this case, also the young lady (I presume) who wrote the simple, but true poem about “Man’s best friend” Janyce Cotterill, News Channel 4, obviously British, Andy, the homeless person, and last, but certainly, not least, Bailey, his dog. Brings to mind, the sad, sometimes hopeless plight of all homeless people, everywhere in the World. Various circumstances ...
Singapore becomes part of runner’s World Peace Marathon as Suresh Joachim aims to run in for his World Peace Marathon Source: Straits Ttmes – Singapore Ambitious Suresh Joachim set off from Little India on Friday (Feb 2) in his bid to break yet another world record as he made Singapore the 16th of the 72 countries he aims to run in for his World Peace Marathon. The 49-year-old, who claims to have already set 69 Guinness world records, plans to set two more in 2018: the most money raised by a charity run, and the most film stars met in one year. He aims to raise $1 billion Canadian dollars (S$1.07 billion) and meet 500 film stars. So far, he has raised $10,040 Canadian dollars and has yet to meet a movie star. Mr Joachim – who holds citizenship in Sri Lanka, Australia and Canada – started his 21.1km half-marathon ...
