A Walk down the Lane of Memories – By Noor Rahim A Walk Down The Lane Of Mentorits. (By: Noor Rahim – April 1998) How calm and serene they are Looking at the sky with nary a care unruffled by the Hustle & bustle of the roadway & subway Just the sky for a roof they stare away yet how much missed thee are By their loved & dear ones who really care No matter which way you look & weigh There’s always something good of one to say iw life & death there’s Someone who will always care In life death there’s always something you can share Until it is taken away By the Good Lord who will always have his way So, pause for a moment & do share The serenity of the abode of whoever they are For someday they would have experienced some of your way(s) ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – Be Thou My Guide & Vision – By Charles Schokman Life this side of heaven provides a head-spinning range of options, and our Creator grants us the freedom to choose. We know right from wrong because God writes His commandments on our hearts. We are free to obey, or not, but once we choose, the consequences are not under our control. We cannot use our human abilities to know God’s ways, but the Holy Spirit works faith in our heart to seek God’s wisdom and His promise of salvation to us. Our heavenly Father does not abandon us to our damning choices. Rather, He offers the gift of His Word to create faith in our Saviour, reveal Himself, and show us how to live. God wants us to choose, out of love for Him, to trust His guidance in His Word and to believe it. Be ...

“Minister on thy journey back to the pavilion” – By K K S Perera Source : dailymirror Cricket still takes up valuable Parliamentary time. Before we delve into today’s main topic, let’s spare a few lines for the ‘Game.’The legendary Dr. W.G. Grace was known for his remarkable skills and memorable incidents. In a county match in 1870;on being bowled Grace said, “T’ was the wind which took thy bail off, good sir.” Umpire replied, “Indeed, doctor, and let us hope thy wind helps the doctor on thy journey back to the pavilion.” Sagala, helped by Roshan’s coach, stumped him to Ranil’s Googly: The coach’s poor intellect and personal agenda left the ‘batsman’ unprepared. His failed attempt to, ‘step out of the crease’ and hit a six over the bowler’s head, might have been influenced by the erratic coaching. The lack of readiness to return to the crease after the ...

Poem on the Meaning of Life – By Ivor Novello ජීවිතයේ සිත පිරිසිදු සිත, ජීවිතයේ අර්ථයෙන් ඉවත්වනු මත. උදාහරණයේ මානසික ප්‍රකාශ, සිංහලෙන් අදත් ලියන්න මත. ජීවිතයේ තුල සිටින ඉන්දියාව, සෑම අවුරුදු සිටිය සිතුවේ මාවිත. විපත්තිය ප්‍රමාණවත් සිත, ජීවිත අත්දැකීම සමගින් සැකිලි සිත. අභිරහස් වරුන් සමඟ මා විවිලුවේ, ප්‍රතිපාදනවී නොගන්න මාවිත. අගුණු සිරුම් සහෝදරයේ සිත, ආකාරයේ සිරුම් පිරිසිදු සිත. මාගේ ජීවිතය විපත්ති, පිරික්සුම් විදිය පිහිටුවේ මාවිත. අත්වැල්ලුවේ මා සිත, ජීවිත අර්ථයෙන් ඉවත්වනු මත. English translation: On the meaning of life In the depths of life, a searching soul, amidst the mysteries, it seeks its goal. With the rhythm of destiny’s call, I pen this in Singhalese, after all. Within life’s circle, I wander on, every moment, my heart’s journey is drawn. Embracing knowledge with open mind, understanding life’s flow, intertwined. With the universe, I find my connection, in nature’s dance, my soul’s reflection. Through joy and sorrow, love’s sweet embrace, I seek the meaning, in every place. Life’s journey, a boundless quest, discovering purpose, I do my best. In the echoes of time, my heart’s plea, to understand life’s true decree. The essence of my life, profound, unveiling wisdom, I’m spellbound. In this existence, my soul abides, ...

“THE AGE OF INNOCENCE & THENCE-FORTH”. – By Noor Rahim As is my routine, in retired life; I sit relaxed on the porch and watch the clouds roll by. For want of something better to do, my mind as usual, wanders into the “reminiscing mode”. Reversing right back into the past; and thence-forth back again into the “comparison mode”, to that of the present day experiences. I feel lucky and very fortunate indeed that I was born 8 and a half decades ago; when the “Age of Innocence” was a fact and ruled the roost. In comparison I find and lament, that this is hardly so in the present days. I now wonder in amazement if the “Age of Innocence” is almost fictional or just one of those periods that has phased away with time. The only exception I believe is in the “eyes of the Law” where it is ...

” LIFE, A TRAIN JOURNEY” – By Des Kelly On watching this meaningful, beautiful, and to top it off, Musical train journey, backed by the memorable voice of Susan Boyle, I found myself thinking of my very first train journey, from the little Suburb of Moratuwa, in my Lovely Island Home,Ceylon, all the way to Nuwara Eliya, the Scenic Capital of the World, as far as I was concerned, anyway. I remember it so well. I rode on the engine itself, driven by my dear late Uncle Fred de Kretser, of the C.G.R.,& helping the ‘fireman’ to keep the log fire in the engine going, could well be the dream of ANY lad of around eight, and there I was. Just as the ‘train of life’ is, this wasn’t an express train, and it stopped at nearly every Station, on the way, so we could buy a few ‘masala or ...
