It is so lovely to see my old pals again without the pressures of study, career, work and kids enjoying life as they should. Sanath looks Professorial as he did even as a medical student striding the corridors and lecture rooms. Gnanissara is our Peter Pan character that never grows old. So good to see Pram a loyal batch-mate who keeps us all together both is SL and the UK. Lucky and Mangala are such fine hosts to the many winter migrants who descend on the homeland from around the world . Indra and Rani are lovely company as I was fortunate to see them last year in London. So good to see them on home soil. My best wishes to all.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see old friends who are getting old but are still young at heart! Lucky and Pram must get a lot of credit for their catalyst roles.
ReplyDeleteNice to see old friends enjoying together. I always think of the good old days at Med School. I am sad that some had departed.They will always remain in my heart

I always enjoy looking at the 'photo stories' of our Blog as it gives one a chance to see old friends we rarely meet and it is, as I always say, as though one is in the midst of this happy crowd enjoying the conviviality having a glass of something, and also peacefully spending an hour in the open air. Thank you! Zita
ReplyDeleteLike Zita I too enjoy seeing Photo stories as Zita calls it.This brings back memories of those " good old days" most of them being happy. Last weekend we too had a sort of mini reunion at the Sri Lanka Medical association of North America western region in Los Angeles. There were 5 of us , Anton Ambrose , Larif Idroos , Ranjan Huligalle, Nada Vishweshwara myself and our spouses. We all sat on the same table, didn't have much time for memories, but seeing faces brings back those medical school days. Thnks for the pictures.
