I was invited by the Batticaloa Medical Association as their Chief Guest for their annual sessions held on 3rd, 4th and the 5th of August 2012. I was to give the opening address and another talk on 'Being a clinician'. I chose as my topic for the Chief Guests Address 'The Call of Duty'. It was a very enjoyable time and the hospitality of my hosts had no bounds. I am attaching some of the pictures taken there.

Prof 'Sinna's statement

'Prof Sinna' incident.
Prof Sinna happened to be in a crowd who were discussing about a recent cricket match between the West Indies and England which had ended in a draw in the early 1960s. 'Sinna' made the following observation:-
'I am sure that if the whole of India had played (instead of only the West Indies) against England they would have beaten the fellows and all that'.

 Hi Philip
I am sending some of the photos taken at our 'Mini Batch Get Together' we
had on Sunday 4th August at a popular Sri Lankan Restaurant in Harrow,London
called 'Rising Sun'.
I enclose
1. Group photo of the batch mates(1960),
2. Group photo with some of their spouses and,
3. Few photos showing some of the group enjoying the Sri Lankan Buffet and
Egg Hoppers.
It was a wonderful opportunity to meet, greet and reflect on the good old
medical college days.
Regards
Nana
