Gentleman Des – A Felicitation – by Max Gerreyn As much as it is a safe bet that a large  percentage of our fellow Australians  are familiar with the surname Kelly its  much shorter odds that the entire population of expatriate  Sri Lankan  Australians in Melbourne are even  more aware  and cognisant  of `Mr. Music’ – Desmond Anthony Carl Kelly – to name him in full.   I am privileged to  claim greater familiarity  and call him `Dessa’ since  becoming a fond and firm cyber-friend with him from the beginning of the current century.  Indeed  I can claim  to even closer almost familial relationship with  Dessa as  I also  began another cyber relationship  – in the previous century – with his younger more rumbustious, heavier and  younger brother Ian . The latter  calls himself `Mala Kelly’ and for other s who have known him well before he self-exiled back to Mother Lanka  ...

An Amazing Tale – By Des Kelly   Once again, a huge “thank you” to Max Gerreyn for this most amazing TRUE STORY. A strange feeling tells me that  our esteemed readers of e’Lanka could well do without any lengthy introduction to this Amazonian Tale, so allow me to take you straight into it. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) eLanka.  Amazing Story…… In 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when this woman got pregnant her senior year in high school, the principal told her she would not be allowed to graduate. She begged the school to change its mind. It did, but there were conditions. She was not allowed to talk to the other students. She was barred from eating in the cafeteria. She could not come to school more than five minutes in advance of the opening bell, and she had to leave school within five minutes of the closing bell. She was not ...
