Its colonial architecture and sprawling gardens speak volumes of its past grandeur.” “The bungalow found its Sri Lankan roots when it was sold to E.R. Senanayake, a distinguished aristocrat of Kandy, whose family played a pivotal role in the country’s ...

Nationalisms in Ceylon – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Highlights In Singapore & Australia, the Sri Lankans are proud to call themselves Singaporeans and Aussies, respectively. The same: Sri Lankans land in Katunayake, come home for a holiday, and mind-orient themselves to call themselves “Sinhala Buddhists”, a term referring to the majority ethnic group in Sri Lanka who follow the Buddhist faith.

Mechanism of blood pressure control in your body and how drugs called ACE inhibitors are used to counteract high blood pressure. – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake FRCS Your body has a system to keep your blood vessels narrowed, increase salt retention and water, i.e., tissue perfusion balance, and maintain blood pressure in emergencies such as traumatic bleeding and other times.
