Postscript by Philip –

We were waiting at the Habarana Hotel to receive our batch mates, coming by the luxury buses arranged to transport our batch-mates and their families, from Colombo to Habarana, for our 50th anniversary reunion of entrance to the Medical College.. The first one to jump out of the first  bus, as it pulled in was Derryk saying laughing loudly and saying for all to hear, ‘Machan, the seats were over booked, I volunteered to have my wife sitting on my lap, all the  way from Colombo to Habarana’.
