“APPRECIATION OF ARTICLES” – by Des Kelly We, at e’Lanka, now receive very many different articles, whose Authors hope that they will be included in our Newsletters which come out on line, each Wednesday and Sunday respectively.

                      “THE PEARL OF THE EAST”  CEYLON – By Des Kelly     If ever there was a Encyclopaedia on Ceylon, written by a former Prime Minister who was reputed to be the best ever, to have run this little Island, then THIS IS IT. Because it is so very comprehensive, and I would dearly love to have it read by as many Sri Lankans who now reside in practically every corner of the globe, I am hopeful that this fascinating account about Ceylon and it’s various Charismatic Characters who adorned the Land that was once compared with the original Garden of Aden, could be suitably divided and featured on the best website of the modern era, namely eLanka. ...
