A tale by Raja Wannakukorale
Raja Wannakukorala and Kalu Nana among others were having a chat round the dinner table after the Scientific sessions at the Habarana Get together. Kalu Nana had said at the lecture that he was serving in a hospital at Grantham, the birth place of Sir Isaac Newton.
Wannaku said that one day in the past Mr.Newton had come to the hospital where Nana was serving as DMO because he had a bruise on his head, caused by a falling apple while he was seated in his garden. Nana had examined the bruise and suggested an Xray. Newton had protested saying that it was a simple matter and that he wanted to go home. Nana had said Mr.Newton, this is a serious matter, you do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Newton had sat up at these words by Dr.Nana the DMO Grantham. He had said what did you say just now? Nana had said that he wanted him to take an Xray. Newton had said no not that what is the other word that you used just now. Nana had said GRAVITY? That set the series of thoughts in Newtons head which led to his enunciating the famous Laws of Gravity.
This is the sort of caramaderie that existed in our batch 50 years ago and is still going strong.
