+++++++++ Rev. Fr. Mercelene Jayakody ++++++++++++++

At the Vihara of Ven. Ahangama Rathanasiri, young Mercelene Jayakody who is interested in learning Pali (Buddhist language like Latin in Catholism) just as Buddhist scriptures was a regular visitor. Young Mercelene is gifted in writing lyrics and composing charming poetry. I approached Fr. Mercelene and asked him to teach me how to put words into melodic rhythm. He asked me what I can do with words. This was my line, "Sasara Paraade Natha Paramaade oh! oh! Chalenehi Jaana."
He said, "Oh! please do not ruin such a melodic and rhythmic beauty with your Hindi 'Chlenehi Jaana." That was the end of my lyric!


+++++++++++++++++++ His Holiness ++++++++++++++++++++

Along with 25 others I was interviewed at the Bishops' Palace in Colombo, for a domestic position at Vatican. Being a Buddhist, my chances of getting selected was nil.
'Non-drinker' was vital for the selection. The last question asked was, "What is VAT 69?" for which my reply was His Holiness's 'phone number'. Surprisingly I was selected, solely perhaps due to my 'sober' reply, and to Rome now. The Priest in-charge of my duties at the Vatican instructed me, the bathroom must be spotlessly cleaned at all times after His Holiness vacate.

He was impressed to know that it was story about a blind man with magical powers, titled "Harry Potteya". With amazement Dr. Pieris gazed at me for a long number of seconds. I could not read his thoughts. I wonder whether he was thinking, that I would be a great character for a role: "Blind leading the Blind!"
