Colombo Medical Alumni Association (CoMSAA) reunion on the 29th of October 2022

After a lapse of two years, the Colombo Medical Alumni Association (COMSAA) held their reunion last Saturday. The event was held at the new Faculty of Medicine  Tower, a beautiful 11-storey brand-new building with its rooftop giving 360-degree views of Colombo and beyond. It was the ideal setting for this reunion. 

Over 130 alumni graced the occasion. Our batch was represented by just 4 of us. Indra Anandasabapathy. Bandula Jayasekera, Sanath Lamabadusuriya and myself. I wish more of us could have been there on this joyous occasion. 

The afternoon commenced with an academic session. There were 3 very fascinating talks.

First, a chilling lecture by Prof Ravi Fernando on “Suicide homicide or murder”.

The next was by Prof Arosh Fernando on “Schubert's death: Lesson on facilitating a good death”.    

And the final talk was by Prof  Dinithi Fernando, who entertained the audience with her talk “The musical missionary: A harmonious interlude in Sri Lankan history”. 

During her talk there were interludes of singing by her students.

After the academic session, which was held in the 250-seater state-of-the-art first-floor auditorium, we moved to the rooftop for dinner. We were entertained by our own medical college orchestra. There was superb music and good food; plenty of raffle prizes too. 

A good time was had by all. Sorry, I wish you all were here!

  1. II am pleased that the four of you were able to go. It is a long time since I saw Bandula. He looks good as does all of you! The lectures sound very interesting. Will they be available on line later at the CoMSSA website?
