Siva was my schoolmate, batchmate & roommate at Bloem. He was very intelligent and studious & always adviced me: ” Dont runaround too much, Sit & study machchan”
His hard work & high intelligence made him a legendary physician & a great human being who was always kind to others with his trademark smiley face.
He always wanted to work for his people & country. When many of us went to work in other countries, he decided to stay back. Once when I visited him while he was working in Jaffna Hospital, he told me :- “You fellows left our people & ran away but I decided to stay here to help our people”
Many have written about him – all with praise. I congratulate the organisers of the memorial lecture for selecting Siva.
Sam/Eddie, It will be nice if you can get a transcript of the lecture & include in our 64 News?
What a great man Siva was ! He was such a wonderful man who sacrificed his life to serve his patients. A great man who lived a simple life but did a huge service.Mahilal
A good man, “Gone too soon”!.The people whom he served well,will miss him .
Seelan, I note at the bottom of the lecture advert the name of Dr Indika Karunamuni who appears to be the organiser.He can be contacted on WhatsApp 0711048191 for more information regarding transcripts of the lecture by Dr Sellahewa.
Siva is one of the best physician of our time. He decided to stay in Sri Lanka to serve the people. I last met him during 2018 when I visited Sri Lanka for RU. I was very keen to meet him as I did not see him since we graduated. Following my phone call he met me at the hotel I was staying and had a long conversation. He deserves to be selected for the memorial lecture.
