Sanath
ReplyDeleteWell done my friend for you commitment to paediatrics and medical education. You indeed deserve all the accolades. With your trendy suit colourful tie and the mauve shirt you could be a fashion guru too to teach the young bucks how to dress elegantly and with style.
I wish I was there to shake your hand as I feel so proud to have once walked those long corridors with you.
This is Zita adding her voice, to congratulate Sanath for being honoured at the 132nd Annual congress of the SLMA for his contributions to medicine. I think Sanath is so well known for his contributions that he is chosen to be honoured whenever the occasion warrants it. We have to be proud of our colleague Sanath. This is Zita writing this comment after reading those that appear below as well.
DeleteUnless I am missing something. Lucky's post does not indicate what exactly was conferred on Lama. Whatever it is, congrats and well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are missing something alright. I had problems in uploading it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it was a letter signed by the SLMA President for Sanath's contributions to the SLMA. He had chaired a session at the Congress.
Friends, lot of hype about nothing special! Like few others, I was invited to chair a symposium at the last SLMA annual sessions

Sanath, I wouldn't say 'hype about nothing'. You have earned a good reputation from all for contributing and constantly being in the picture without 'retiring', while most people who do well once or twice, often 'retire' from such things. So we your batch mates have to be proud of you! Zita

ReplyDeleteThis phenomenon was known in the 16th Century in Stratford-Upon- Avon and Shakespeare called it MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING !!!
ReplyDeleteCould this have Sri Lankan origins? After all “ado” is a typical Sinhala word, Naythe Aney!
ReplyDeleteMahendra doesn't miss anything. I never thought of comparing 'much ado' with Sinhala 'Ado!' It's always good to bring a bit of humour into these conversations! Zita
DeleteInteresting conversation !
ReplyDeleteMay be the bard himself was of SL origin !
