FOREVER 62 GROUP – MESSAGE FROM PRAM (and help with posting a comment)
scroll down to the last photo to see the posting comment help)
Welcome to our visitors Jimmy and Kathy Wickremasinghe, Harsha and Harshi Boralessa, and Srianee “Bunter” Dias.
The Forever 62 group met for lunch at the usual venue, the Library, Cinnamon Grand Hotel, on Saturday the 20th of January 2024. We were so pleased to have Jimmy & Kathy Wicks, Harsha & Harshi Boralessa & Bunter join us in addition to the usual SL based crowd. ( Chira, Lama, Senarath, Owlie, Bandula, Kusuma , Swyrie, Gita, Suriyakanthi and Sura).
As usual we had fun reminiscing about Medical
College days. Lama has a super memory recalling events and anecdotes that
mere mortals like me have long forgotten. Chatting while savouring a 6
course lunch of Tempura to Grilled Moda; Passion fruit sorbet to Sechuan Prawns
and winding up with Garlic rice green chicken curry and Baked Alaska. I
hope you enjoy the photos and thanks Speedy, for putting this on the blog.
Warm regards
Pram

Select Mahendra (Google) - (in your case, it may be Pramilla (goggle)- (or whatever name you gave in Gmail ).
6. Now click on Enter comment. I entered "Test for Pram as an example.
If you want to be notified that you have sent a comment, click on the “Notify me “ box. When you click on that, you will get a message that “Follow-up comments will be sent to psen13@gmail.com"
Now click on the blue box with “Publish” in white letters.
It will then say “Publishing”, and your comment will appear.
If you have not logged into your Gmail first, your Name (Google) won’t appear. You will then need to choose Anonymous, and I recommend starting by saying who you are- for example, “Hi, This is Pram,xxxxxxxxx, etc. Otherwise, people will have to guess who “Anonymous” is!
ALWAYS login to your Gmail account, and while it is open, move on to the Colombomedgrads site and then try and post a comment.
I presume you are using a Windows computer. With Apple Macs there are problems I am afraid.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much for organising this get together and the others for the ' Forever 62 group ' and also the December 20th Christmas batch reunion.
I appreciate your ability to organise these batch reunions in Sri Lanka and UK.
This is the best way to meet our batchmates, relax and have fun.
Let's enjoy our lives as we don't have much long to live.
About a quarter of our batchmates have left us.
We have this forum to communicate with our batchmates, thanks to Lucky and Mahendra.
Long live our Blog !

ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see your resume of the batch dinner so beautifully written with colourful photos of the plush venue. To call the Group forever 62 is most appropriate as no one looks any older than that magical figure!! Great to see everyone happy and smiling.
Pram you are indeed the supreme organiser and amazingly nothing happens without your presence and blessings. We in London look forward to your next visit here for another one of those reunions in our favourite Satay House.
My very best wishes to all those in the Forever 62 Group including the absent friends. May I have the good fortune to see you all again.
Hi Pram
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for inviting us, had a great time,enjoyed the banter and the delicious food.It was lovely to see the smiling faces, recalling the good old days.
Looking forward to the London mini reunion in the summer.
Hi All
ReplyDeleteBaked Alaska that you all had sounds interesting like just Pan fried Ice Cream. Or even like selling freezers to Eskimos.
Best Wishes
Test for Pram

My general advice is for you to write your comment at first either on Word, or even a draft email addressed to yourself and copy the comment to the Blog from that so that if for some reason the comment "disappears" without appearing, you will have the draft as a back up.
Wished I could have been there. What a happy group let alone the food,
ReplyDeleteHopefully the good Lord willing I can be at one of these “ Forever 62” celebrations. God bless Rajan ( Patas)
I'm finally getting around to commenting! It was fun meeting the batch mates who showed up at the lunch. Always appreciate Pram's efforts in organizing these events. (It is a fair amount of work!) I hope to attend a few more of these events before I return to Connecticut. (Mahen, thank you for taking the trouble to post the instructions. I hope it will give our reluctant friends the courage to post some comments.)
