'Kothu Rotti' - email forwarded by gunsie.

When I have been in the Northern & Eastern province that's only couple of times I got the taste of it.
I think the Roti (similar to thin pan cake) used - is Muslim in origin
P.S.
In the year 1972 when I was Resident Surgeon in the General Hospital, Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, I came across 'Kothu Roti' in a Muslim shop in the heart of the town. It was a big draw - high in cholesterol as it had eggs and beef - among the locals. The outlet was identified by the infernal noise of the two hand operated metal cutters working on a heated metal plate. It has become so popular in present Sri Lanka that there is no place where you cannot get it.

Rough riding, 1920 - email from jksw.


2 ½ minutes of rough riding in a Dodge 1920.

I believe I was in  one  in the 1940s. A wedding. As a pre- teen, I got showed into the old jalopy.

Soon most other cars broke down trudging from Badulla  up steep to Welimada in slithering mud and rain.

Also rescued  up stalled new cars that trip while we podians had to kick our heels at the top till the rescue was complete.

Our driver our hero that day!
Huge engines. High clearance, not the 165mmm of today!

Celine Dione – My heart will go on

One of the most popular songs in the film 'Titanic', I am sure you will enjoy listening to it. Click on each of the web-links below:-




Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,And I know that my heart will go on


We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Life - email from Piyusha Atapattu


 This is so beautiful, I could not keep it for myself...

Life
Stay away from Anger.
It hurts only You and nobody else.
If you are right, then there is no need to get angry,
and if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence and
Patience with
GOD is faith.

Never think hard about the past, it brings tears.
Don't think more about the future, it brings fear.
Live this moment with a Smile, it brings cheer.

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
every problem comes to make us or break us,
The choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious.

Search for a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.

Do you know why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you comes
and fills those gaps by holding your hand forever.
Never forget this advice!

Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong,
Success keeps You Glowing,

and But OnlyGod keeps You Going!
