“THAT’S LIFE” – by Des Kelly “Some interesting oddities”, as Max Gerreyn calls them, and indeed they are. Happening all around us, as we go through, whatever time God has destined for each one of us, we humans do not seem to notice the quaint goings-on, around our World until some intelligent person decides, with the help of photographs, to show us these strange things that are occuring, even a I write this introduction. There is a phrase that tells us, a picture speaks a thousand words, so here we are , ladies and gentlemen, many thousand words that will both interest and educate you, as you read your e’Lanka newsletter. Desmond Kelly. (Editor -in-Chief) e’Lanka. ...

“COME WHAT MAY” – by Des Kelly Thank you, Max.Gerreyn for this inclusion of very important advice, to what was also, as I remember (and feature) it, one of the great songs of yesteryear. It is, without a doubt, The Universal Truth, as you have titled your “post”. I certainly hope that everyone who reads this advice, will take heed, and follow the path involved, even though, at times, it will be quite difficult to do so. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. ”Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line. We can not step out of the line. We can not avoid the line. So while we wait ...
“GOD MADE SPINOZA TOO” – By Des Kelly The Author of this . piece of.,~ writing is unfortunately unknown, yet it was sent in to me by my good friend, Artist/Cartoonist Max. Gerreyn and certainly merits inclusion on e’Lanka, so let us get it on, forthwith. The title (above) comes from me. I was born a Roman Catholic, have lived my life so far, as one, and will die, a Roman Catholic. I am not, in any sense of the word (or phrase), a “Church pillar”, however I DO BELIEVE IN GOD. There is only the ONE GOD, and it is quite obvious now, that this ALMIGHTY is fed-up with the World that HE created just recently, in the context of time. When God made us, HE created each & everyone with a brain. He then expected us to use this brain to live our lives as we should, in ...

“BLOODY RIPPER”.!!. – By Des Kelly Who this songwriter is, unfortunately, not known. Who the Vocalist is, not known either, who the entire production was done by, also missing, but we certainly know who sent me this “bloody ripper” of a video, which I am now happy to share with all our eLanka members,all over the whole world. His name is Max Gerreyn, & if he wants our acceptance, he certainly has mine. We do need a dose of humour in this day and age, and when this great humour is particularly true, and can eke out a laugh from me and from you, i can see no reason why this song should not enter the Aussie hit parades in no time, whatsoever. So, sit back folks, relax, open a bottle (now, don’t be a sipper) Listen, enjoy & laugh aloud to ...

Western Australia SRI LANKA ASSOCIATION – WASLA ‘Break-Up’ 2020 – A Great ‘Katha’ and ‘Bajaw’ Party WASLA Committee 2018-2020 at the Break-Up Party Source: Western Australia SRI LANKA ASSOCIATION Newsletter One of the best perks to be offered – especially when one has been fortunate to get to the age that I am – is to be driven/taken to parties or places of entertainment particularly after the sun has set. Such was my privilege when my worthy young cousin Ken picked my wife and self to enjoy a night of conviviality and fun on Friday 2nd October. It was the occasion of the traditional ‘Break-up Party’ that follows the final official Committee meeting for the calendar year. It had been a wet evening and the car-park at the Innaloo venue was full. I’m certain that even if I had –miraculously – been able to have cycled there I would not have found a spot to ...

MESSAGE TO ALL LANKAN /AUSSIES – By Des Kelly I have written so much about Ceylon (then), Sri Lanka (now), it didn’t seem fair that not much was said about this great brown Land that so many of us Sri Lankans migrated to, and so many more are hoping to make their second home. Then, to the fore, he comes again, my good friend Max Gerreyn from W.A., one huge part of this Island Continent that CANNOT boast about being host to Corona Virus, unlike the other States, and especially Victoria, who let the bug in, and in turn, is now in the process of kicking it out. Here, for each & everyone of our Lankan/Aussies, 8s a most interesting look at “STRALIA” which I hope you will enjoy. Thank you Max, for forwarding this to me. Always appreciated. ...
