HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU RANJITH !
I wish YOU a Very Happy Birthday to day.
Enjoy this day with your lovely Bionic Woman- ( The Good Convent Girl, Aka Praxy !! ) and children- Joe and Tanya .
Enjoy all the days in the years ahead, as yet another Happy Birthday Day .
I do recall you at St Joseph’s College, Aquinas, all the Catholic Students Federation gatherings we had back then, and finally at Med School .
Your quiet presence was felt , as a strong presence, where ever you went .
I do recall, one incident- that has stayed in my memory bank, that truly reflects your sense of strong discipline .
I was at the Mt Lav hotel about 12 yrs ago- and I invited you and Praxy, Laki and Gita for dinner .
It was a dreadful stormy night- but, the four of you made it – thought I was worth the drive on a tropical monsoon stormy night !
The Dinner Buffet at the hotel- — the tables were so loaded, I thought the tables would fall to the ground , for the weight of the food .
The four of us- ie- my self, Praxy, Laki and Gita- we had eyes bigger than the plates , threw caution and discipline to the monsoon winds and loaded our plates .
But, you ordered a Tuna Sandwich !!!
I almost fell off the chair – and I asked ‘ what is the matter with you Ranjith- all this fine food, and you order a Tuna Sandwich ? “
In your classic quiet way you replied in Sinhalese ‘ NO Deepthie- this is enough for me ‘ !!
I really, really admired your sense of self control and discipline that day, and this is one lesson you taught me on that stormy night at Mt Lav Hotel .
I Wish You a Very Happy Birthday today, and Many more Happy and Healthy Days Ahead in the Years to come , with Praxy and Joe and Tanya .
Deepthie .
Many Happy returns of the day, Ranjith!
Enjoy yourself with your lovely wife and the family

Dear all
This s a message from Ranjit . He wants me to thank all of you for the birthday wishes and to let you know that he will thank every one individually when we go to our next hotel as I have not been able to sort out his laptop for WiFi here in Burma. Thank you 🙏 . Praxy
My dear Ranjit,
Many happy returns of the day.
You have been a great friend of mine – not only as a batch mate but also as a fellow Bloemite eating the same food for 5 years.
I remember you as one of those who wore a gold neck chain hidden under the shirt, but you were down to earth, not showing off your wealth. I knew that you were even helping your father to manage his successful business, while you were a medical student.
You & Praxy were one of the first batch mates to spend some time with us in Sydney.
You are not only a doctor but also a successful businessman & still continuing tirelessly.
My daughter still got the miniature panic alarm to carry in the purse, which you marketed many year ago!!
Jean & I wish you all the best today & for ever.

HI Ranjith — I forgot to mention, that you knew ALL my cousins/ family friends from your St. Aloysious College , Galle days , and they still keep in touch with you , even after all these years .
You and your twin brothers Cosmos and Damien and your older sister , were well known to my ‘Galle Cousins ”
So, I sort of knew you way back when , through my family visits to Galle over the years, way before we met again- in Colombo .
I did not know, you were at Bloem either– something I learned today !
Perhaps it is the Bloem Food that killed your taste buds and taught you your sense of Self Control , when it comes to food — to want a Tuna Sandwich , when there was ALL that food groaning on top of the Buffet tables at Mt Lavinia Hotel !
It is nice to recall those days gone by- keeps us all closer than ever .
Have a Very Happy Birthday – to day, in Burma , where you are today, with Praxy and the Heraths’.
See you and Praxy in Beruwala- Oct 2018 .
Deepthie .

Hi Ranjith,
Wish you many happy returns for the day. Enjoy your trip to Burma.
You might recall the days in Chilaw when you and Praxy had returned to the quarters after a naughty weekend in Cmb; As you turned into the shed the L front wheel of your Triumph flew off.
Lucky it happened in the premises.
On another note You are a very lucky chap. You scored the best looking girl in the batch. and Bionic to boot.
My regards to Praxy.

Just learnt that you are in Myanmar with Praxy. What a lovely birthday birthday celebration to be there. It will remind you of Sri Lanka in the 60’s. Enjoy your stay and have a safe trip back to UK.
