KALU TONY .......................

One of the very recent telecasts of the 'dora mandalawa' ( ITN) revealed something very important i remember. Mr. Hasantha tried to explain the importance of writing or saying the name of the village before the name of the Buddhist thero (Maha sangha) how important it is for the 'village they were born'. most of those little villagers shines mainly because of the 'maha sangha' who contribute their knowledge for the benefit of the all.  

he was right and also he said that it is good if we try not to use game nama ( name of the village) before some of the characters known as gang leaders, criminals, murders etc or similar. 
that is true i beleive when ever there is a need to name or explain or reveal the names of those ones before the public it is good to mention that so and so is a man from that village instead of writing the name of the village before the name of a particular gangster lives or born. because i believe those ones are like 'pililayak' i don't know the correct English term for that it is like a incurable 'cancer' let me explain it that way. once it goes and lives in the society that will ruin the whole unit.

Let me take one of the different characters i have read and heard ' Maradankadawala Yakadaya' i believe he is a different person. and this is just an example i tried to give.

so thinking of the names of the maha sangha ' Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula, Bellanwila ape hamuduruwo, Madihe Pannaseeha, Maduluwawe Sobitha, Panadure Ariyadamma, we can think of many legendary names of maha sangha.

standing ovation for your words Mr Hasantha. 

let me come back to my little title ..............

this 'Kalu Tony' Have you heard about him before? he is a world famous character and even the little ones are very much familiar with this name. If you see him you will surely feel to offer at least a glass of kurumba for him or have a cup of tea with him and a little chat with him.

even if he prefers to have some 'ranawara or polpala' that is also possible i believe. Have you tried these local and very old 'refreshments' Sir before? Try and tell how you really felt alright. 

Kalu the literal meaning of the word is 'dark' or black'  but here if we say kalu refereeing to ones complexion that is 'dark' need not to say.

'Kalu' i was trying to add this short but very well remembered name of one of our  worldly cricket heart  'Romesh Kaluwitharana' and Tony' is Mr Tony Greig. who will expect explanation from a person like me. but let me try a little to give a little explanation as i understood this cricket character 

Mr. Tony Grieg is one of my very favorite cricket commentators outside our country. He is unbelievably a marvelous comentator. he is a huge ground support, a supporter of any good cricket. his voice is so economical and very 'close to the hearts of our cricket fans. he is 'amazing' to be honest.

So this 'little Kalu' ( Romesh Kaluwitharana) is one of his favorites cricketers i understood every time when Kalu and Master blaster played good cricket as an opening pair.  

so i thought that it is perfectly alright to call Mr. TONY GREG ( please pardon me if i have written your name wrong way) 'Kalu Tony' with so much respect and gratitude. 

so it is alright no Mr. Hasantha if we create some new names like this for instance 'doramadalawe hasantha', ITN eke 'Maduka'.  'Nugasewane Chamila', 

So Mr. Tony becomes  Sri Lankan when ever he sees good cricket in this part of the world or that part of the world for sure. He loves this country i am sure and he is a good cricket fan of our team.

i personally believe that 'Kalu Tony' is a good friend we have and i like to dedicate this little piece of writing to the beautiful words he deliver when ever there is a very exciting cricket match.

let me wish you a good exciting, quality  cricket  life ahead !
