“COUNTRY COUSINS” EXTRAORDINAIRE by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ It has certainly been an extraordinary week for me. To start off, after many a long year, I have been able to contact a long-lost cousin, also living in Melbourne, someone who I remember as an extremely talented pianist, Audrey will not mind the mention of her name because, even though we have been “out of touch” for so long, it is good that, in the twilight of our lives, we have managed to find each other again. If the title of this article is mistaken for the fact that we are the ‘Country Cousins’ are the ones who originally migrated to Australia from Ceylon, a humble apology. Although I am not certain that Audrey loves “Country Music” like I do, music, in general, has been part & parcel of our families. Some of us also “sing” ...

NT Young Australian of the Year 2018 – Kevin Kadirgamar BY Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ “NT- YOUNG AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR” Kevin Kadirgamar. Excellent news. The new “Young Australian of 2018” is still another Lankan/Australian that all of us should be very proud of. His name, Kevin Kadirgamar, grandson of Rajan Kadirgamar, a former Principal of Jaffna College Sri Lanka, and incidentally, a relative of another Rajan Kadirgamar, a former “Captain of the Royal Ceylon Navy from 1960-1970. eLanka is happy to congratulate Kevin on his recent achievement & wish him all the very best for the future.

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE – A MUSICAL ODYSSEY by Bernard VanCuylenburg Dear members & readers of eLanka, I have been extremely fortunate to meet, and, in turn, introduce all of you to Bernard VanCuylenberg, another good Dutch Burgher from Lanka, who, in my opinion, is a “Superb writer of Stories”, in poetic vein, “Bernard Van, is a man, who certainly can”. There are not too many “writers” who are perfectionists. Bernard is one of them and his expertise can now be shared by all of us. Every “story” coming in from Bernard will, of course, bear his name, as the writer. We are indeed lucky to have him write for us. Desmond Kelly.

No matter how I try Won’t you answer to my plea Just say it in any language to me When will you say “si si”.
