When I became fifty, a man of ninety was very old to me. But on the 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of December this year, I would be ninety and I don\u2019t feel old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Joan Collins said, \u201dAge is just a number. It&#8217;s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Some of my friends say, \u201dI am only 18 and the rest 72 is experience\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">I was born in a little hamlet called \u201cHapugala\u201d in the Galle district, and at the age of 4, my family migrated to the hill capital-Kandy 1,700 ft above sea level. That\u2019s we are still, except my second life in Sydney, Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Dec. 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a01929, happened to be a Saturday, and this year my celebration falls on the same day, a Saturday. That coincidence is auspicious to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Let me now take you back to the nineteen thirties, life then, as my memory remembers, before most of you friends and acquaintances were \u00a0born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had no antibiotics. Just imagine the health risks people had to face globally. Alexander Flemings discovered that mushroom named penicillium only a year before I was born, that was 1928, but the antibiotic was not marketed till 1945 towards the end of the World War 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had two drugs that stopped the growth of bacteria: sulphadiazine for general infections and suphadimidine for gastric upsets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">As I remember the most serious illness then was double pneumonia and when you are hospitalized for this serious illness, you do not come home<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Heart disease was unheard of. It was described by Ancel Key in the fifties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There was no place for heart disease then, our mothers\u2019 cooked healthy foods at home. and we never ate those present day foods saturated with fat, salt and added sugar- out in the restaurants that did not exist, like today. In fact, there were no restaurants or street food outlets then. The only hotels were the South Indian hotels, we called \u201cSaivar kades\u201d. They were most unclean eating houses, we invariably bought the Dosai and idly, as take a ways to enjoy at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had no big cars, except for the \u2018Baby Austin\u2019s\u201d. To start the car you need to crank-shaft through<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">the front grills. You rotate the gadget many a times till you hear the start noise, or it may rebound and<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">hurt your shoulder to delay your trip by hours till the pain subsides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had no refrigerators. We bought large ice blocks wrapped in saw dust to prevent melting, and my<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">mother used to have a wooden box where meat and fish were stored with these ice blocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had no air conditioners, except for fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We had the Bell type of telephones that gave problems most times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Short messages were sent on postcards by post, unlike today free text messaging is so convenient and quick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">I am happy to be with you today, enjoying all the \u201cHigh Tech\u201d advances that has made our lives more comfortable. Today, if I want to contact someone locally or overseas, I just press a few buttons on my smartphone and wallah, I chat with my friend for hours, through whatsApp or Viber.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">During the thirties, I remember we used to make a communication device with two empty match boxes and a taught thread to talk to other kids within a few feet away. That was then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">We should be not complacent with the wonderful life we all have today, because tomorrow will be different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Disastrous climate changes will affect us all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In 2016, Prof Hawking said it was a &#8220;near certainty&#8221; that sometime in the next 10,000 years, humanity would be faced with a global disaster.
