May you shine and long live!
Dear Iban Battuta
First of all let me thank you
for coming here and keeping notes on your visits. I must tell you that all
ours, theirs and everyone talk about your reports. They are nourishful, useful
reports. They involuntarily take any students of leaner to the past and
forward. And they learn the importance of any travel reports via your travel
reports.
I think like you did, every
traveler of present and future should keep their notes in a rich way indicating
all the necessary and useful information. And if possible they should not keep
them as personal diaries but must publish them. Hope you would agree dear Iban.
Dear Iban Battuta, I am a woman
of 70’s so it is so good to know the situation back in 1334 through an eye of
an outsider. Please pardon me for calling you an outsider, I only meant about
your ‘Nationality’
I don’t know whether we have
already thanked you for coming here.
I know there is a quite a big that
we should ethically extend our gratitude. Some of them have come here before
you and some after you. We normally keep all our gratitude within
without really sharing them with the ones that we think should share
Do you accept this, my,
thanking note?
What were you doing in the
Maldives? Learning to dive or learning how to trade in the Island?
Were you collating experiences
as well?
Did you have time to visit the Gan
Islands?
Tell me how was the transport
system back in August, 1334, here and there in Maldives? Were you alone in the
Island and where were your friends who accompanied you to the land of Arjune
and Laxman
How did you reach Male, by
boat? I can’t think of any other ways. I
think the right brothers’ did all their incredible tries of flying, after you
visit here
But I know according to the
‘Ramanayana’ there was a way that they visited Lanka
Did you pay in Rufiyaa to
wander around Male or was it something else?
About decade ago the Male was only 2square km large was it bigger
earlier?
I am asking this to know
whether the Male had to face any big erosion by now
Where in the country this
‘Konaker’ is located? Was it you who
named the place as konaker after visiting?
Two different countries no
‘Serendib’ and Maldives, did you do the comparison dear Iban?
Do you have any specific note
written on Sri Pada ? Was the road clear back then? What route did you take, the forest route or
any other routes?
What do you think about Colombo
then? Was the jalasthi kind to you? Did the
Ebiseenians obey all the rules, regulations and orders of the Jalasthi without any
issues?
Did you draw any pictures about
the two towns that you visited after Sri Pada, back then? Galle and Dewinuwara
Dear Iban what business did you
do with the people of the Kotta that Marinolli mentioned in his notes?
The man of Bolonne ‘Ludowick
Berthima’, was he here when you visit here?
Is it true that we import rice
from foreign countries during the period of your visit? I don’t know whether we
import rice from the land of Madhumathi and whether the variety was called Basmathi?
No! just now I found out that
according to the sources, bulks of rice have imported from the area of ‘Shivaji
Ganeshan’, southern part of the land of Madhumathi
Anyways do you know the land
that Zia Ul Hak was born, did you have time to visit their land? They too grow Basmathi I don’t know what had
happen to our Heenati back then?
Dear Iban, tell me did you send
all our Heenati and Suwandel to your land? Otherwise how was it possible that
we did not have enough rice to eat?
Were you trading in any other
countries?
And tell me how large was the
Coconut Park Park near Thotagamu temple, built by VI Parakkramabahu (1303 -
1333)?
Dear Iban I feel sorry about
‘Marinolli’, there were no reason for him to imprison. Don’t know whether he
applied for VISA before landing here from Beruwala? He must have broken some
regulations of beruwala?
And it was sad that Marinolli
lost all his valuables due to bad bandits
You should have visited Kanjipuram
to visit the ‘stone temple’ built by the minister Senadhilankara Senevirath’
and he was the same person who built ‘the lankapura temple’. The minister was
from Udunuwara -‘Sinduruwana’ probably must have met him, right?
Like we are reading what you
have written did you read the inscription in hapugasthenna what do you think
about V parakkramabahu?
Iban you should know that king
V parakkramabahu ordered to built the Unambuwe Weva within one night? Amazing
no?
Dear Iban tell me more about
Maldives and about the books you wrote
Rihlah (Travels)
Three Travelers to India that
you wrote along with your friends, Yuan Chawang and Bernier
Voyagers d’ Iban Batoutah
The Travels of Iban Battuta
Tell me dear traveler was it
difficult to travel across globe than staying in Tangier, Morocco?
Take care
