Paduru Party at Vishan’s Place, Dehiwala

End of the year get-to-gether was organized by Vishan at his residence on 24th December 2005. This was a grand Paduru party with a orchestra of 12 people.  Needless to say that participation of Polgoda members was less than that though our membership is 24. Sujeewa (Kawadiya) attended as a guest artist and performed very well. Lalith, Mohan, Ranjith, Ajith, Alwis and Viran were there with families.

Polgoda GETA at Thati’s Place-Maharagama

Thati was in Colombo and it was party time. A Get-to-gether was held at Thati’s new house, 25, Hospital Road, Maharagama on 16th July 2005. As usual there was an email exchange about the dress code and Jaya suggested a special dress code for the party. The party was well attended by Polgoda members, spouses and children (Junior Polgoda). The missing crowd included Bodhi, Walu and Nastaya. Mohan excused as he is in Malaysia.

Polgoda GETA at Lalith's Place-Kottawa

A Get-to-Gather party was held at Lalith's new home at Kottawa on 10th May 2003. This was well attended by Polgoda members and as usual Bodhi was missing. Jaya provided a special menu for the party from Canada. Thati and Jaya joined the party over the phone. The only disappointment was that Polgoda couldn't compete with the youngsters from Commercial Bank on the singing competition.

Another MBA graduate from Polgoda

Finally Viran completed his MBA  with great difficulties. Congratulations Viran and this will increase the total number of MBA's in Polgoda to 5 and others are Vidura, Lalith, Ruwan and Ravi. Polgoda member Lacto is holding a PhD in Physics.

Bye Bye Ruwan

Active Polgoda Member Ruwan decided to migrate to Canada to join with Canadian Polgdoda Members. The farewell party was held on 19th Deecember 2002 in Moratuwa. 

Congradulations Mohan !

Deepani, Mohan's wife delivered a baby girl on 13th August 2002 and both mother and baby are in good health. Polgoda wishes all the very best for Mohan and the family. 

Many Happy Returns Vishan!

Vishan celebrated his 36th Birthday on 11th August 2002 (Sunday) with a grand level party held at his Dehiwala Vila. The participation of Polgoda members was not very good (Only Lalith, Mohan, Ajith, Vishan, Mahesh & Ranjith with families) and their dress codes is very bad for that occasion as most o them were on T-shirts. A separate bar and buffet was set on a side with a Mongolian BBQ.  

Congradulations Lalith !

Manuka, Lalith's wife delivered a baby boy on 22nd July 2002, their second  child, and the birthdays of both children are same. This is very well planned for cost cuttings so that one birthday party will be held for both children but invitees should bring two presents. The new born baby's name is Dhanuja Chanakya and Polgoda wishes all the very best for Lalith and the family.

Jaya's farewell

1st May 2002 was a sad day for Polgoda members, not because of the May Day but the great entertainer of Polgoda, Jayalath's last day in Colombo as he is migrating to Canada with his family. The farewell party held in Negombo in the grand level. Started with the welcome drink,  then to normal drink with seashell, cutlet and Krisko bite, then seabath at Morawala and the excellent dinner catered by an external restaurant.

There was a huge gathering from friends to relatives and Sandamal was the only person who was in happy mode as Jaya has given the Power of Attorney to him. End of the party, it was sad because we all will miss Jaya for ever, as it was obvious that Jaya will never earn enough money in Canada for a return trip. None could be found for a vote of thanks at the end of the party, though now we have GMs, Managers etc in Polgoda.

Get-to-gather at Ajith's new house

On 3rd February, the day before the Independence, Ajith organized a grand pa-du-ru party at his newly build bungalow at Kiribathgoda.  Many polgoda members were there including Jayalath/Mangalika, Mahesh/Kamanie, Lalith/Manuka, Mohan/Deepani, Ranjith/Chandrika, Viran/Maheshi, Chrishantha/Manori, Lucky, Vishan, Ruwan and key missing members were Bodhi, Nimal and Sanjeewa.

Jayalath played a major role during the day but failed to deliver the vote of thanks due to the dislocation of his mouth, when he start the speech in English. 

 

Lucky celebrated his son's birthday

On 27th Januray, Lucky celebrated his son's birthday in grand level with the participation of Polgoda members. The party was at Ja-ela and was full with liquor and old cigarettes. The fish bite was an major attraction in the party and lunch was excellent.

After the party, Lalith, Viran and Ranjith went for a weekend stay at Dolphin Club Hotel, Wadduwa. Bodhi & Ruwan agreed to join but due to a private soup party organized by Jayalath on the following day, they cancelled at the last minute.

Chrishantha from UNP Ticket

In 20 years time, Chrishantha will contest for Parliamentary elections under UNP. No more comments on this news ...!

 

Polgoda Get-to-Gether

As we planned all members came to Chandra De Silva ground on 24th Nov but due to Arjuna Aiyyas political meeting on the following day, the ground was closed. According to a quick decision taken by the organizing committee, the meeting was arranged at Viran's place. All went very well with two complete Roast Chickens for the byte (First time in the history) and dinner from favorite Chinese Dragon. The function (Nimal was there..!) went past midnight and the only unfortunate thing was the missing of Jaya.

Jaya has left from home to Chanrda De Silva with his family even though we informed the venue change. He has traveled more  than two hours around Colombo to find out Pahalawatta Road and has failed....  

 

Congradulations Lucky !

Dunya, Lucky's wife has delivered a baby girl last month, their second lovely child. Polgoda wishes all the best for Lucky and the family and hope their children will conquer the world of Chess ...grandmaster from Sri Lanka...!
