ReplyDeleteThank you AHTS. What do you expect from a born and bred Sri Lankan having lived in a so called "Village" -- to my relations and worked in the Wanniya?
DeleteThings rub off as one grows.
Wish you & your family all the very best for 2018.
AAAMIN.
SO Sorry Mates, have made an error ...a typo in the third--3rd line of my New Year message!!
ReplyDeleteIt should read as "VASANTHAYAK" instead of the 'gobbledegookk'... age you know!!
Razaque.
Not to worry Raz. That has been taken care of.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucky.
DeleteI am now very careful not change your gender again!!!
Razaque, so good to see you back, hopefully to stay this time !
ReplyDeleteAs Sumathi has said, your sinhala is so good - makes me feel very ashamed!
I have figured out a lot of your verse, and shall consult my BIL in Melbourne to have the rest translated . He has educated me in the past to say ’Esema Wewa’ . I can go a bit further now and say to you and all your family-
Suba Aluth Avuruddak Weva !
Thank you Rohini.
DeleteDo not worry you will soon get the hang of it.
'Sinhala etchera-ma amaru naha'.
Good to see you too Lucky- the ever obliging, unseen “fix-it guy” !
ReplyDeleteCheers
Lucky, the above was written in appreciation- not as an insult .cheers
ReplyDeleteI know! I know!
ReplyDeleteThis is Zita, better late than never, to wish you Razaaque and family a Very Happy 2018! I am so happy to see you back and I look forward to your contributions to our Blog. I wish you and your family good health and all good things this year.
ReplyDeleteFrom Zita and family

DeleteI promise that I shall be "REGULAR" again,
Once again wish You, Joe and your family the very best for 2018.
May god be with you all.
Razaque, Farina % 'the MOB'.
Welcome back, Razaque! Good to 'hear' your voice again! I wish you, Farina and the family the very best in the years ahead. It wasn't the same without your humor. I confess, I tried to type a message using Sinhala script on my computer (I do have the capability, up to a point) but the letters available were limited, so it didn't make any sense. I will pledge to be more active and regular on the Blog as well. I have been somewhat erratic :(
ReplyDeleteHi!Srianee,
DeleteMind your Sinhala wards,if you were to try again.
They sound erotic to us.
