GAY by Desmond Kelly Isn’t it strange?, a simple 3-letter English word, now used in connection with people born homosexual and who prefer the company & love of their same sex (not that there is anything wrong with that), as Jerry Seinfeld reiterated in some hilarious episode, some time ago,in conjunction with George Costanza, Kramer & some American-baseball “Star”, whose name eludes me. All I remember was that it was indeed a “gay”, happy programme in a television show that I can warmly & gaily recommend to everyone. You name it, the Seinfeld Show featured it, in gay episodes filled with laughter, uproarious slapstick, & sometimes, very subtle comedy. I watch this “show” because, being “ramrod straight”, myself. Now, “straight”, there’s another simple English word meaning to move in a straight line, without a curve or bend in it, I watch Seinfeld primarily to see “Elaine” the female “lead” because ...

Still another great song from America , sung & played by a group called the “Texas Tornados”& available for your listening pleasure, my dear readers ,on the ever popular “You-Tube”. Did I tell you folks, that even at “four-score & one”, I am still very much a “romantic @ heart”, love hearing a good love–song & still “write” them myself, whenever I get the chance, simply because , as I have said and written, many a time, life, as we know it, is but a “blink of an eye” in the context of time. With everything that is “going-on” at the moment, with the love of MONEY being the primary focus of almost everyone around, with the “petty jealousy” that reigns supreme, especially between “Entertainers” of today, & sadly, even including some Lankan Aussies who have been in the business for about ten minutes. Everyone is a “wannabe-Star”. Only a ...

“LIVING IN LIMBO” by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ With our modern World living in limbo (the outer regions of hell), at this moment, the “Rogue-Nation” North Korea launching missiles, one after another, thumbing their noses at everyone around them, U.N.Sanctions being “a big joke”to all North Koreans, or, so it seems, with new “wars” breaking out all over the place, nothing but “bad-news” BREAKING now, whenever we turn on the television, with no new Planet that Human Beings have still discovered, would be able to accommodate us, “going forward”(a new phrase, now used excessively because it is so easy to remember),for Politicians especially, as they all seem to go in the opposite direction and incessantly call for “meetings”, only to decide when the next meeting will be, going forward (see what I mean?). Mr.Kim, there’s too much of him, not at all slim, has the World on the ...

My Lovely Island Home by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ This song was written by “yours truly”, in Australia many years ago. Lately, there seems to be a renewed interest in the song, a lot of it coming from Lanka itself. This “article” is being written to “clear-up” a few facts about the “song” that, I feel, is steadily becoming just as popular as my “Original Hit”of the “fifties”, called “Dream-World”. Especially for the Lankans out there, who are hopefully now “progressing with the times”, getting rid of their mosquito, fishing, & hairnets and “dabbling with the Internet”, I would now like to say to them, firstly, the “Philips” recording my song was simply titled “Dream-World”, NOT “I’m living in a Dreamworld” (which is simply the first “line” of it). ...

They were great guys, both of them, ...

Her mother, Florence, aged 80 & her 50 year old autistic sister Sheryil came to Melbourne from India together with her youngest brother who migrated to Australia in 2012. It was after her dad’s passing away in India, that the final 3 members of the Allen family decided to join her, her spouse, and other brothers, already residents & citizens of this Country. This was the primary reason why Florence & Sheryil came to Melbourne. This law-abiding family simply wanted to spend the rest of their lives together in a Country that gives every “migrant” “a fair go” & a chance for a better life. Since arriving in Melbourne, her youngest brother also gained his citizenship. Her entire family, brothers, Uncle, Aunts, Cousins & herself & Spouse, are all gainfully employed here, pay their taxes and live as good Aussies should, following the law, to the letter, and, as proudly ...

“GEELONG” (Cat-Champions) – by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’ source: Australian Football Website Melbourne, the “most liveable City” in the World, many times over, certainly. This writer migrated to THIS wonderful City in 1962, together with his very young family, for many reasons, the main one being, that it was here, that full-time employment was readily available & naturally, this was something that any young family needed if they were to get a good start in their brand new Country. I got my first “job” in Australia within a week of arrival, and it was because of the nature of that job (a mail clerk) with the P.M.G. in Spencer Street, Melbourne, that I first heard of the Town of Geelong. Even then, Geelong was one of the main “Cities” in Victoria, a thriving town, made even more famous by it’s “Footy-Team”, the Geelong “Cats”. What better ...

This “subject” should be “magnified”, then “dignified” to please everyone connected with it (in Australia ). First & foremost, the “spelling” should be changed. It should be spelt (in Australia) as “Burke-qa”. The first part signifying ALL areas outside Aussie C.B.Ds, “the back of Burke” and “qa”, of course, for Australia’s top Airline (Qantas). Neither should be banned, as our “Country-Towns”, back of Burke, are some of the prettiest ones around, & Qantas is still one of the best Airlines around, although I prefer to see them “on the ground”& if ever I “fly”, I always try to get a seat right at the rear of the plane because I’ve never heard of a plane “reversing” into a mountain. This is as far as I will go as regards the “qa”. Back of Burke, or beyond the “Black Stump”, as they say (in Australia) are some of the most beautiful ...
