Creative Spot - A Poem by Mahendra Gonsalkorala

We are trees

We are trees and live on what you breathe out 

We just stand and observe day in and day out 

We only move when it's windy, staying still mostly

We are alive like you, and do grow,  albeit slowly. 

Yes, we have no feelings, and devoid of emotion

But that’s no bad thing is our considered notion

You see, we don't feel pain sadness or hunger 

And this may be the reason we carry on longer

You ask us, ask us, are you conscious?

"What is consciousness", we remark

"Have you got a soul", you then ask

Questions! Questions! Goodness gracious

Lucky Weerasooriya had started this hobby after he retired in 2002. He himself confesses that he was unaware of his  capability of wielding a paint brush to produce good results. This painting done by him is ample proof.

127th Anniversar​y Internatio​nal Medical Congress of the SLMA

As you probably know, the 127th Anniversar​y Internatio​nal Medical Congress of the Sri Lanka Medical Associatio​n (SLMA) is now going on. I have received these pictures from the Joint Social Activities Secretary Prof. Vajira Dissanayake.  Along with the other Social Activities Secretary Dr. Preethi Wijegoonewardene, they had done an excellent job in organising this entertaining social event which forms an important part of the medical congress. The SLMA President this year is Dr. Palitha Abeykoon (known to most of you) who was in our parallel batch in Peradeniya.
