Dear X (name withheld for privacy) THE ROYAL COLLEGE THAT NURTURED ME Many thanks for sharing and giving me an opportunity to express my views on a few issues currently concerning my old school. Firstly, I applaud the ex-Principal of RC, Mr. R M M Rathnayake for his subject article https://island.lk/a-former-royal-college-principal-defends-maintenance-of-secular-values-in-the-school/ that partly contributes to us old Royalists becoming aware of current “happenings” at Royal. I believe that I can confidently assume that Mr. Rathnayake is a devout and respected Buddhist and an educationist and Principal par excellence. As such he has the credentials to be seriously considered. On the other hand, you and I being so remote from the scene are really not in a position to be ultra judgemental. I strongly believe that these issues of concern must be brought to the notice of old Royalists. It is then up to each one of us to make our ...

Exercise (walking) is a powerful medicine for daily life. – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Transcript: As Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician often referred to as the “Father of Western Medicine”, wisely stated, “Walking is man’s best medicine.” His timeless advice still holds today.

There are more than 1,000 varieties of banana, and we eat one of them. Here’s why that’s absurd-by Dan Saladino Source:Theguardian The meeting of the World Banana Forum last week in Rome didn’t make many headlines. But what was under discussion there has serious implications for everyone. The ubiquitous yellow fruit is the proverbial canary in the mine of our modern food system, showing just how fragile it is. And the current plight of the banana should serve as an invitation to us all to become champions of food diversity. When you peel a banana, you’re on the receiving end of a near-miraculous $10bn supply chain. One that sends seemingly endless quantities of a tropical fruit halfway across the world to be among the cheapest, most readily available products in supermarket aisles (on average, around 12p a banana). But, incredibly, there’s no inbuilt backup plan or safety net if the one ...

Memories of a school girl in Ceylon, 1960 125th year celebrations of SACRED HEART CONVENT, Galle (1896 – 2020) Source:Dailymirror The echo of frenzied cheering ebbing and flowing like a wave from the open pavilion of the Galle Esplanade fill my ears as if it were only yesterday. I can hear Rev. Sister Rosina, Mistress of Queens Own House spurring me on fitfully on the loudspeaker in the open event cycle race. My spindly legs peddle furiously and perfectly navigate the tracks and breeze through the touch line to victory on an old rackety Men’s Raleigh bicycle, borrowed on the spot for the race from the school Watcher! Indeed, not many girls cycled then nearly fifty years ago, with the exception of tomboys and the posh girls from Colombo who were sent to our Boarding School; which functioned under firm but kind Irish and Belgian nuns. Yet oddly we were ...

A tiny town in regional Victoria has the highest-rated market in Australia, according to tourist reviews-by Liv Condous Source:Timeout Market shopping is a normal part of life for most Melburnians – we’re lucky to have so much delicious produce grown right here in our bountiful country that it would be silly not to enjoy the literal fruits of our farmers’ labour. We’re blessed with so many incredible food markets across our city, from the famous Queen Victoria Market in the CBD to Dandenong Market in the outer ‘burbs. These beloved favourites are super popular, but it turns out that if you’re looking for a true gem of a market, you’d best travel further afield to the countryside. Grab your nanna trolleys, because a farmers market in a small regional Victorian town has been named as the top-rated market in the whole of Australia.  Creswick Market, located 120km from Melbourne near the regional hub of Ballarat, has taken out ...
