A homage to Goddess 'Saraswathy', Wathupitiwala, Sri Lanka.

The beginning

The end

Me and my wife were invited to witness a cultural programme put up by the staff of the Wathupitiwala Base Hospital. It started at 6.30pm and ended around 9.30pm of the 29th May 2012. I videoed this on my Fuju HS20 camera. It was a lovely performance. I was really moved by it. It was a revelation of the talent present among the young Doctors, Nurses and ancillary staff. Please watch the dance sequence on the video below. Listen to the recorded song sung by Pandith W D Amaradewa. Listen to the words and their meaning. I am sure that you will enjoy it.

Geri's joke at a party

A group of female professionals were playing golf. There were some males watching the proceedings. One pretty player took a beautiful swing and connected. The ball went flying and struck one of the male watchers close by. The man doubled up in agony holding both hands and covering his crotch, let out a wail in agony. The female players surrounded him. They said we have a doctor among us. Do not feel shy she will have a look at your injury. Before you knew it his trousers were pulled down and the female doctor felt around and examined his genitals. He was asked 'How do you feel now?'. He replied abashed 'I am feeling fine but it is my thumb which was struck by the golf ball'

Message from Dawood

To my friends  who enjoy a glass of wine... And those who don't and are always  seen with a bottle of water in their hand. As Ben Franklin said: In wine  there is wisdom, In beer there is freedom, In water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, At the end  of the year we would have absorbed More than 1  kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria Found in  feces. In other  words, we are consuming 1 kilo of  poo.. However, We do NOT  run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or  tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) Because  alcohol has to go through a purification process Of boiling,  filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poo Wine =  Health Therefore,  it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, Than to drink water and be  full of shit. There  is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing  it as a public  service!
