TO ALL OUR RELATIONS, FRIENDS & EMAIL CONTACTS – By Charles Schokman Now that we have come to the end of another year and on the threshold of a New Year it’s good to reflect on the past. Some may have been struck by illness, the loss of a loved one or met with unexpected tribulations. Others may have had everything going well for them.

THE BIG FOUR OF OLD COLOMBO-by Ifham Nizam Source:Island THE BIG FOUR DEPARTMENT STORES OF OLD COLOMBO By the 1950s Colombo’s plush Fort area had come to have four well known department stores in the best European tradition.
