“THE REAL ROCKET MAN” – By Des Kelly There have been a few of them recently, most of them fakes, but finally, here is the guy who WILL succeed, simply because he doesn’t know the meaning of the word failure. Close to 9 BILLION now, and counting, Earth’s population is steadily becoming overcrowded, so a new Planet HAS to be found soon. ...

“THE DOLPHIN’S MATE” – By Des Kelly One of the most touching videos I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. It just goes to show that there ARE people around like the dolphin’s mate, obviously an animal lover who noticed this beautiful creature, and being a diver himself, knew that his mate wasn’t swimming in the normal manner. Dolphins are known to be very intelligent, the reason perhaps, was why he got quite close to the diver, wordlessly asking for help.To all my readers of eLanka, please have that box of tissues handy as you watch this superb video.

“AUSTRALIA PERSONIFIED” – By Des Kelly As a Sri Lankan (Ceylon) migrant to Melbourne, Australia, of nearly 60 years, I cannot help but remember the many times when friends told me quite emphatically that I had made a big mistake coming here. I should have gone to America, they told me. My musical career, my songwriting capabilities, my showbiz life in general, would have been much better in America, had I chosen to go there. I sometimes wondered if they were right. Now, along comes this American, giving us his candid opinion on Australia Personified. I found this very interesting indeed and decided to share it with all my eLanka readers, everywhere. To make a long story short, I am very pleased that I stuck to my initial decision of coming to Australia. See what you think. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief)-eLanka. David Mason is ...
“ALUTH ISKOLE’-A NEW SCHOOL” – By Des Kelly Covid 19 emerged like a thief in the night, causing dramatic changes in the World, as we know it, a Global Pandemic that has not only caused Medical chaos, but Economic chaos as well. This mysterious plague has hit Earth with such ferocity, thousands of lives have already been lost with sadly, many more to go, and W.H.O. has come in, too little & too late to do very much about it ?. “WHO” ?, you ask. Well folks, their acronym is the answer. ...

“BAILA, AS I LIKE IT” – By Des Kelly Sometimes, a video comes to me, with content that I would love to share around, with as many people as possible, the reason being that I think it could bring a little happiness into what is a chaotic World, at the moment. “Baila”, or to be more precise, Party Music of Lanka, has been a favourite style of entertainment for thousands of people since the Portuguese introduced it into our homeland eons ago. ...

“MUSIC THEREIN” – By Des Kelly Another “first” for my eLanka readers, who are already aware of the fact that, if it has anything to do with good music, I would like to share it with them. Just add the capital M to my title and therein lies this very good news. I have to admit that I have never heard of this strange, but beautiful-sounding instrument. “THEREMIN” was kindly sent out to me, by my good friend Charles Schokman, together with the interesting little story sbout this instrument, fretless, stringless, looking rather boring perhaps, until you hear this lady actually play it. ...
“AGE IS JUST A NUMBER” By Des Kelly Yet another special “tidbit” for all eLanka readers everywhere.

The talented couple featured below are no exception to the rule, and decided to go out and have some fun. Obviously, they have been dancing with each other for many years, as a matter of fact, they might even be married to each other. Their dancing is something to behold, the reason being that she is 91 years old, and he is 94. ...
“GUITARIST-EXTRAORDINAIRE” – By Des Kelly https://www.facebook.com/100020017805403/posts/541321079878481/?sfnsn=mo&d=n&vh=i Someone whose name is unknown to me, playing an acoustic guitar in a Club previously unheard of, and yet, in my own opinion, one of the very best instrumentalists that I have had the privilege of seeing, bringing in a superb “lead” plus a “strum” that has to be seen, to be believed, and doing it all with the natural ease of a top Professional at his game. ...

“LOST FOR WORDS” – By Des Kelly Explains why English is such a strange but fascinating language. Certain Phrases, Prose, Quotes, and sometimes, even Words that are “coined” by Wordsmiths such as some Authors are prone to do at times, appear at random during our lives, only to disappear, as time goes by. Once again, while the actual author of this “piece” is unknown, eLanka thanks both Keith Bennett & Maxwell Gerlach for sending this article in. I am sure that our readers will remember some of these nostalgic writings, because if they do not, I shall be lost for words. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) eLanka. ...
