- Warrior
Theraputtabhaya returns to priesthood
Phussadeva,
repenting for his mistake, imposed punishment upon himself, by
cutting off his ear-lobe. While still bleeding, he went to the
king and said, “O King, please pardon me”.
- The
festive mood on Independence Day
At
one minute past midnight on 4 February 1948, a burst of crackers,
ringing of temple and church bells, sound of sirens from the ships
anchored in the Colombo harbour heralded the dawn of Independence
to Ceylon, as we were then known. Ceylon then ceased to be a British
colony.
