MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THESE The postman’s bell, still a welcome ring The old General Post Office, Colombo Today we live in a digitally dominated world. We communicate using various gadgets of technology. Over the past six months, Zoom chats have become vital for corporate executives and schoolchildren. Two hundred years ago, the island of Ceylon was experiencing a new dimension of communication – the use of letters sent and received through postal service. As children, hearing the postman’s bell was a moment of delight to receive a birthday card or letter, and checking out the new stamps on the envelope. The postman attired in khaki uniform, riding his black Raleigh bicycle was a welcome friend. He was a messenger who delivered good news, and at times, he delivered bad news of someone’s death, often through a telegram. In fact, the ringing of his cycle bell was the same for ...

When ancient Serendib lured Jewish ships-by Dishan Joseph King Solomon’s Temple Source:Dailynews The resplendent island of Sri Lanka has been the envy of many for its strategic maritime position. This geographical position together with our natural resources drew the attention of traders from across the world. Ancient records show details of Arab trading vessels which were later followed by the Portuguese and Dutch. Subsequently the British arrived here lured by our tropical pearls and cinnamon. Many know these stages of our maritime history. The people of Israel had established trading links with ancient Serendib (the Persian name for Ceylon). It is believed that by the 12th century there were around 3,000 Jews living on this island engaged in business. They had lived in peace, sharing in our prosperity. Jews had resided in Colombo, Kandy and Galle in a bygone era. It is said that a Jewish synagogue had existed along ...

A slice of Africa in Puttalam-by Dishan Joseph Source:Dailynews Most Sri Lankans in Colombo city would have caught a glimpse of robust women, of African descent dancing to pulsating drumbeats. We have applauded the performances of the African Manja group. But have we truly understood their origins, displacement and hardships hidden behind their smiles.

For centuries Ceylon had been a maritime domain for foreign traders, and defiant conquerors. All these foreigners left behind their ancestors, who with time integrated into our society. ...

The mosque with 49 minarets-by Dishan Joseph Side view of the Red Mosque Source:Dailynews The general vicinity of Pettah is always crowded with vendors and shoppers. It is in a sense a melting pot which unknowingly unites all of us in this beautiful city as well as thousands who come to the Fort Railway Station. Along Main Street there are many shops that specialize in textiles, shoes and fancy goods. As you walk along Second Cross Street or enter the area via Main Street your eyes connect to the beautiful dome of the Red Mosque, quietly heralding its presence. This mosque is an architectural gem and a cultural icon for Muslim devotees and all Sri Lankans. Its contrasting red and white design has been a stimulating sight that makes us pause and admire its architecture. The mosque is testament to the dedicated work of its pioneer builders who infused this ...
