 Come come sit sit we talk we talk

Them days in Ceylon, we Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol struggle struggle to make ends meet.

Them Red Blue Green Politeesans come promise we givu you moon we givu you sun.

We kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol always poor and them politeesans made sure we remained poor so they can stand on stage and shout for the saadukin pelena unge emancipation.

Sirimavo say she will somehow give rice to you sadukin pelena  poor pepol . She say she wil bring rice even from moon. So we clap clap and whislte.

Dudley say he will make Goviya Raja  and make Ceylon self sufficient with rice. So we clap clap and whislte.

JVP say Wijeweera shaodaraya turn samajya upside down and givu rich pepols houses to poor pepol. So we givu them money, gold chains, gold rings as investment in the revolution.

 Samasamaja say them will build luxury flats for we poor pepol and flatten  Pelihouse to create chilrens park for Kolonnawe Pelihouse Lamai. Kolonnawe gaanu shout Jyaveva and bang on them raban.

 Aney, we fools go put kathire hoping to get all that very next day.

 

Huta, after that, we see them pepol only on TV. When one parti win and other parti lose the winning parti supportas go kudufying Kolonnawe kada and even setting Pelihouses on fire. Apoi, if one house catch fire the whole peliya will catch fire no ? So we havu survival tactics .

 I put kathire for UNP. Wife for SLFP .Son go do JVP Thappa Viplawaya. Son’s  wife put kathire for Samasamja .

Elecson time we argue argue and  our hosuses soun like parliment house evuri day. Boruwata, boruwata.... wata pita minissunta ahennna. Then no matter who win elecson, we somehow shapemuwa.

We poor pepol go poling at CWE to buy parippu. Them days CWE had Illangaratna's kunu karawala. …taste bestma with Kasiya.

Them say Dudley sir good man. He Gentalman. He no collect money for elecsons or pocket the comis money. He lived in Woodlands Borella . He died in Woodlands Borella.

Sirimavo good lady too.When nowti JVP varsity boys and girls try to take Govenment byporce  she say me too a mother no…I too have chilren …so I no order to  kil them . She send them to Vidyodaya university .

No no..not to  studi for degree…for punarththaapanaya.

 Aaa but.. but.. later they even study  from prison and get Arts degrees . 

 

 I thinking I thinking about them days aanduwa declaring state of Emergency or even curfew as often as we kolonnawe pelihouse pepol havu a bath at the tap.

 When them Samasamja Communist rich rich sirla like NM, Colving go pelapali on May Days …we Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol  follow them …excitedly  singing..shouting..” Saadukin Pelenaun dan ithin nagityaw”

 And we throw rocks at them showrooms of big big company buildings

 When poleess come..them rich samajawadi sirla slip out horengli  to them luxury houses in Colombo 7.. We get polees guti bata and kandulu gas and up in polees kooduwa.

 

Then the aanduwa declare Emergency.

 It felt like everiday is Emergency for Kolonnawe Pelihouse pepol

 Emergency when long kiu for one latrin... pepol mustma run to the canal

Emergency when Kolonnawe Vije come soutin soutin..we run and hide in the latrin

Emergency when polis coming to Kasiya spot we all put hooray run to hide in the latrin

Our lives in Klonnawe Pelihouse one continuous Emergency sir

 

Them Sirima Annduwa days, jesma like nowdays .

She leening leening on Chow chow en Lai implementing China Policies with haal polu miris polu ito manage economi. She had the  balance of payment US$3000 in the black. Everibodies suffered almost equally then. Almost goodma good  real Sama Samajaya. Even Parliment house canteen served rice only two days… other days mannokka or bathala. No sheeni  with plain tea…only hakuru .

Then came open ekonomi.

Everibodies canma  go Dubai so Kolonnawe Pelihouse women go too. Them bring  fans, washing masheens... all dutipree. Build them 1 perch pelihouses up up up. So everibodies happi happi.

I say I say sirla nonala…you mustma come Kolonnawe Pelihouse shide…and see Kolonnawe Voje’s Yahapaalnaya.

To be continued…
