Des Kelly – R.I.P –  by Roger Thiedeman Dear Neil, I was very sorry to hear this morning of the passing of Des Kelly. I count it a privilege, and a very timely one, to have spent an hour or so with Des at his place of residence only a couple of months ago. Although it was obvious that his physical health and mobility were compromised to varying degrees, he was still mentally as sharp as the proverbial tack, and completely ‘on form’ as far as his memory and wit were concerned. I am attaching a few photos you may care to include in a tribute to Des in eLanka Newsletter. The pics were taken by me in December 1990, during the first visit to Australia by Sri Lankan music superstar, now mentor and ‘guru’, Keerthi Pasquel. He was joined on that tour by Mariazelle Goonetilleke, also making her first trip ...

eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter – By Joe Paiva Dear Readers of Elanka, Australia & all over the world. I wonder if you noted eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter. Excellent design. I applaud eLanka’s project team for creating the poignant image. Oil Lamp in the Centre flanked by the two respective national flags. Symbolic of a Bridge, assimilation, fellowship, two cultures , one a rich very ancient traditional South Asian culture and the other relatively new. Lighting the the World, a gentle caring touch of the minds  and hearts of all Sri Lankans & Australians. One of serving humanity without  premeditated expectations. Instantly  Capt Elmo ( Blue Skies) Jayewardene,’s  ethos came to mind. Quote ” Far better to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness” Elmo’s Candle is somewhat similar to eLanka’s Oil Lamp, except the word ‘Poor’. PS CandleAid: A shining light for those ...
