Hi Philip


It is with sadness that we report the death of another of our batchmates- Dr M.A.C Perera. He was  rather quite but a very sincere and a friendly colleague. He was at Kithyakara Medical Student Hostel and after graduation, migrated to UK where he was a very successful GP in Wembley.

 As I recollect, he returned to Sri Lanka around 2003.

In case you have not seen his obituary notice ( which appear in Daily News 9th June 2012), I attach a copy for information.

May he rest in peace.

Nana

Dear Philip
I had a message yesterday (Thursday) that Murugananthan regretfully passed away at 4.30p.m following a brief illness. (? Acute Leukaemia-)
I have since confirmed it with Neelam. Don't much details at the moment other than this.

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.
