Baila : Dingiri-dingale -minakshi -dingiri-dingale’ - email from Sunil Liyanage.

This is a south Indian Tamil baila song of the 1950s. Initiated or ‘created’ in the 1950s by the then popular actor Chandrababu( comedian).

He was inspired by the baila in Ceylon . He studied at St. Joseph ’s College, Darley Rd , Colombo 10.

This song became  very popular in Ceylon and no party was complete without it. The young  sang and danced to it lustily, mixing in some Sinhala words as well.

As happens with such ‘sing-songs’ as we used to call them, a few funny ribald words too got inserted.

And these young people? All of us.

Remember?

  

Real old Tamil Classic, sort of baila. TAMIL OLD--Dingiri Dingale meenakshi Dingiri dinkale--ANBU ENGE? (Preview)

Appuhamy and Fr. Pinto - email from Sunil Liyanage

A Priest dies following a road accident & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a guy, with untidy hair , unshaven and dressed in a khaki coat and sarong tucked up and chewing betel with a tattoo visible in his chest of a cross with the words "YAKKA PARADDAMU" (defeat the devil) wearing rubber slippers with a scarf round the neck. God asks him: Please tell me who you are, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not? The guy replies: I am Appuhamy the CTB driver from Sri Lanka. God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Appuhamy : Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... In Sri Lanka the clergy is reserved seats immediately behind the driver in CTB buses and so the priest recognizes Appuhamy who recklessly drove the bus into the building at high speed. .. Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Fr Pinto , Head of the Don Bosco Seminary Ettukala Negombo and one time parish priest of St Mary's Church Negombo and celebrated 40 years as a priest and service to God in December last year. God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... 'Just a minute,' says the agonised Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's dedicated my whole life preaching your Name & wins goodness and bringing up priests to serve you has to make do with only a Cotton robe?' 'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God. 'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove, people PRAYED' It's the PERFORMANCE & and not the POSITION that ultimately counts, even  in Heaven.
