 Kos chips after frying. Slice mature kos madulu 1cm thick. No
additions. Deep fry in fresh coconut oil just as potato-French fries.  For a
few minutes just as for chips.

 After frying, may add salt, pepper/chillie powder to taste.
Eat. As tasty or better than French fries.
Lion Lager goes swell with it.

Can make pota'chips companies go bankrupt.
Secret.
Lastly wipe mouth with kos poththa- use the prickly surface.

P.S. Variation that I have not tried-frying the ripe madulu-waraka. Jaffna
people could  try this out.

Art - Adolf Hitler - email from Lakshman Karalliedde

 He was probably rejected because he came from a poor family and was not the traditional blonde and blue eyed person of his era.

 

A young man's dream to be an artist was crushed when his application to enter the fine arts academy was rejected .... His crushed dream turned into a tragic nightmare for the world........ He painted these pictures.   The person who painted these pictures wanted to attend the Viennese academy of  Fine arts and become famous as an artist. If he had been accepted by the academy, the world’s history could have been different.  His name was Adolph Hitler.

How to save papayas falling from the tree... Think...  Think... Think..  Come on! Keep thinking ... You think too hard... Ohhh my God...

A poem by Rudyard Kipling - Ideal for Medical students

I keep six honest serving men

(They taught me all I knew)

Their names are What and Why and When

And How and Where and Who.

I send them over land and sea,

I send them East and West;

But after they have worked for me,

I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,

For I am busy then,

As well as Breakfast, Lunch and Tea,

For they are hungry men:

But different folk have different views;

I know a person small,

 She keeps ten million serving men,

Who got no rest at all!

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,

From the second she opens her eyes - 

One million Hows, two million Wheres,

And seven million Whys!,

1959 entrants to the Colombo Medical Faculty, Reunion in Sri Lanka.

Can you identify them?

Puppy size - email Sunil Liyanage

THIS IS A TERRIFIC STORY, BUT YOU MUST READ IT, DON'T JUST LOOK  AT THE PICTURES! OKAY?

    Puppy  Size 
This  is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear.
    You will know precisely what this little girl is talking
    about at the end (you'll want to share this one with
    your loved ones and special friends)!

'Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again.
    We've been back to this animal shelter at least five
    times. It has been weeks now since we started all of this,'
    the mother told the volunteer.

'What is it she keeps asking for?' the volunteer asked.
    'Puppy size!' replied the mother.
    
    'Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for..'
    'I know....  We have seen most of them,' the mom said in frustration...

Just then Danielle came walking into the office.
'Well, did you find one?' asked her mom.

'No, not this time,' Danielle said with sadness in her voice.
    'Can we come back on the weekend?' 

    The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed
    'You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's always a supply,' the volunteer said.

Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door.
    'Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend,' she said.

Over the next few days both Mom and Dad had long conversations with her.
    They both felt she was being too particular. 'It's this weekend or we're not looking anymore,' Dad finally said in frustration. 

    'We don't want to hear anything more about puppy size, either,' Mom added.
Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturday morning.
    By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for the section that housed the smaller dogs.

Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the end of the first row of cages. There was an observation window so you could see the animals during times when visitors weren't permitted. 

    Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically to take a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and she held each one.
One by one she said, 'Sorry, but you're not the one.' 
It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect  pup. The volunteer opened the cage door and the child carefully picked up the dog and held it closely. This time she took a little  longer.

'Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy! He's the one! I know it!' She screamed with joy. 'It's the puppy size!'

'But it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the last few weeks,' Mom said.

'No not size. The sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed,' she said. 'Don't you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!'

The two women looked at each other for a moment. Her Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little of both.

'Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home from work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy if it sighed when I held it in my arms,' she said. Then, holding the puppy up close to her face, she said, 'Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of his heart!'
    
    Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes you sigh.
    I not only  find it in the arms of my loved  ones, but in the caress of a  sunset,
    the kiss of  the moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot  day!
    They are the sighs of God. Take the time to stop and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear. 'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that  take our breath away.'

    I hope your Life is filled with many Sighs!!!
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
    Life is just too short and friends are too few.
Love the people who treat you right and forget the rest!
    
I  Appreciate You!!

1.  A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.    When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.' ********************************************* 2.  Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.    A little girl said, 'I know all about adoption, I was adopted..'    'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked   another child.      'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'   .   Hope this put a smile on your face it Sure did mine!

Cricket - email from jksw.

A little known fact...  The first testicular guard (“box”) was used in cricket in 1874.  And the first helmet was used in 1974.So, it took 100 years for men to realise that their brains could be as important as their balls.
