“TO THOSE, CONCERNED” – By Des Kelly A video that essential viewing, especially to all our Sri Lankan friends. This was sent to me, by Charles Schokman, and I thank him for it, on behalf of e’Lanka, all of whose members are hopefully animal-lovers, and would certainly love to watch this superb bit of work carried out by the Sri Lankan Navy, of whom I have always been proud. How this incident came about, I haven’t a clue, but this just goes to show what a bit of “caring” can do. Please watch this video folks, and be uplifted. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. ...

“KOTHAMULLI” – By Des Kelly This interesting song, based on a Sri Lankan medicinal drink, quite often forced on us as children, was sent in to me via Roland Phillips and Keith Bennett who, for some reason, also urged me to Stray safe. No problem, Keith, I cannot stray anywhere, at the moment, but I have suddenly taken quite a liking to Kothamulli, so much so, that I have decided to introduce this drink to over twenty five thousand e’Lanka members around the World. Thank you, Roland and Keith. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) eLanka ...

MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC – by Des Kelly “IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LIFE, PLAY ON”, is a phrase that is common everywhere, and in every walk of life. Our thanks go out to both Keith Ockersz and Keith Bennett. I was most surprised with the vocal ability of all these characters, but it seems that NOTHING surprises me anymore. Feeling proud that e’Lanka can introduce these new “Stars” to tge World, i will now let all of you enjoy this startling video. Desmond Kelly (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. ...

“ANOTHER DAMN SCAM” – by Des Kelly Something that I do not have to worry about anymore, and, for the moment, this applies to many people, but just as Fawlty Towers reminds us, we could quite possibly have to indulge in hotel-stays from time to time, after Covid 19 is no longer a threat. However, that being the case, Hotel-Scams come into being, once again, and there are NO Vaccinations for them. I have to thank my friend Dallas Achilles for this “post” and decided to share it with all members of e’Lanka. ...

“A COMEDY IN WORDS” – By Des Kelly As I have always said, English is an International language. Naturally, “words” are a large part it, words that are very serious, however, words that can also be translated, giving us some totally unrelated comedic impressions that could possibly cause a chuckle or two, just for a change. Although we do not know the name of the actual Author of “A comedy in words”, being sent to me via Ralph Baker and Keith Bennett (thank you, Ralph and Keith), I found this post very interesting, because, as our many readers will notice, ONE LETTER either added or subtracted from an official English word could go on to be a huge difference, and a funny one, at that. ...

“NIKITA” – By Des Kelly Englishman, Sir Elton John has never been a favourite entertainer of mine. His antics, facial fantasies, false eye-glasses, silly hats, etcetera were a “spectacle” not really needed, as the man had an innate understanding of what music was all about, played a good piano, and even wrote some good songs, one of which was then dedicated to the Peoples’ Princess Diana, after her tragic untimely death. Incidentally, this particular song was copied by him, from his former vocal dedication to beautiful Marilyn Monroe. ...

“THE LAST LAUGH” OF NATURE ! – By Des Kelly The fact that a picture speaks a thousand words has never been so apparent as in this wonderful “post” sent in by my ex-Naval buddy, Chris. Lawton. Here we see Nature showing us that it too, can laugh. Enough said. Thank you Chris., for sending this in. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. BOUNTIFUL NATURE HAS HER LAUGH TOO !! ...

“WE’VE GOT THE POWER” – By Des Kelly Thank you, Keith Bennett for posting this most POWERFUL SONG !!. While so much turmoil is rampant in our World today, people tend to forget that the ONLY ONE who can help us now IS JESUS CHRIST, the Saviour who, not so long ago, gave his own life, on a cross at Calvary, to pay for all the sins being committed by everyone around Him. HE DIED TO SAVE US !!. ...

“A PIANIST TO BE PROUD OF” – By Des Kelly They are few and far between, but very good pianists, like the lady in this story, is special indeed, and I feel so proud to introduce her to e’Lanka. Once again, we have to thank our buddy Max Gerreyn for sending in this story, and feel certain that those who get the chance to see and hear Tanya will consider themselves lucky to partake in the talent of “A Pianist To Be Proud Of”. Please watch, listen, and appreciate GOOD MUSIC, and thank you, Tanya Ekanayaka. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. Dr Tanya Ekanayaka Dr. Tanya Ekanayaka is one of Sri Lanka’s most distinguished classically trained pianists. “Tanya Ekanayaka’s music is subtle, beautiful and surprising. Whereas many Asian composers like, say, Takemitsu or Tan Dun, have arrived in European concert halls through a combination of international modernism and carefully ...

“COME WHAT MAY” – by Des Kelly Thank you, Max.Gerreyn for this inclusion of very important advice, to what was also, as I remember (and feature) it, one of the great songs of yesteryear. It is, without a doubt, The Universal Truth, as you have titled your “post”. I certainly hope that everyone who reads this advice, will take heed, and follow the path involved, even though, at times, it will be quite difficult to do so. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. ”Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line. We can not step out of the line. We can not avoid the line. So while we wait ...
