Yesterday (that would be Thursday) I spent a few hours at the 131^st Battle of the Blues.  As always happens, one runs into old friends, some who have not been seen in years or even decades. There’s catching up, there’s chit chat, the occasional checking of score, dancing, singing and drinking. 

I knew I would meet Rajitha Dhanapala, friend from Grade 1A and about whom I wrote a few weeks ago (how he was unfairly dropped from the team, along with two others who constituted the top three batsmen in terms of batting averages that season, Chandana Panditharatne and Assagi Ranasinghe).  Rajitha was laughing.

‘Machang, I got so many calls. Pandi called after 22 years!  I even got calls from some Thomian friends who wanted to know if you would write about similar things that happened in their school.’
