\"Sunil-Thenabadu\"“To every man upon the earth\/death cometh soon or late”,\u00a0is\u00a0 a\u00a0memorable phrase of\u00a0 literary legend\u00a0 William Shakespeare. There is also a famous saying that \u2018good die young\u2019. It was dreadful Parkinson decease that snatched\u00a0 away the\u00a0 precious life of much loved Janaka Balasooriya at the age of only 45 years, when his life had just commenced to blossom while living in Melbourne having migrated perhaps in search of greener pastures in year 2008.After his secondary education at\u00a0Isipathana\u00a0College Janaka had graduated from the Ceylon-German Technical\u00a0 Training Institute in Moratuwa in the year 1991 when he was barely 20 years old.\u00a0With\u00a0 the\u00a0training received at the German Tech he was able to find\u00a0 employment effortlessly. He had been the transport Manager at DS Jayasinghe,\u00a0Nawaloka\u00a0group\u00a0 and\u00a0Jefferjee\u00a0brothers\u00a0 for\u00a0one and a half decades before opting to migrate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Janaka on his wedding day with bride Praboda <\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Melbourne he had met a lot of graduates of the Ceylon-German Technical Training Institute who were his colleagues while\u00a0at the German Tech in\u00a0Moratuwa .\u00a0Janaka had excelled in\u00a0multi-faceted social\u00a0behaviour. He had been the Honorary Secretary of the Old Boys Association of the CGTTI,\u00a0in\u00a0 Sri\u00a0Lanka\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 after migration the\u00a0Honorary\u00a0Secretary of OBA CGTTI\u00a0 Melbourne.\u00a0At the time of his demine he had been a member of the OBA Melbourne.\u00a0\u00a0Initially Janaka had been a \u201claser cutting\u00a0technician in\u00a0a firm and then had joined\u00a0\u2018Nelson Global\u2019 Melbourne\u00a0to suit his\u00a0abilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Janaka\u00a0had also\u00a0been instrumental in the formation of the\u201d Ceylon-German Technical Training Institute Aluminium Global Forum\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He had taken a gigantic part in organizing many social\/ cultural events like \u201cBak Maha\u00a0Ulelas\u00a0\u201c, sports tournaments constantly in\u00a0Dandenong .Janaka\u00a0with his colleague Kanishka Jayalath had presented the radio program 3zzz on every Thursday nights. Janaka had been the co-editor of the \u201cSihanada\u201d Sinhala newspaper. In this context Janaka had been very active and been in the helm of many social and cultural activities in Melbourne. His sober habits and unassuming down to\u00a0earth\u00a0 low\u00a0profile mannerism was the hall mark of his immense popularity among the expatriate population. He was portrayed by his colleagues as a \u201cSonduru\u00a0Minisek\u201d .Janaka had received immense support from his friends and colleagues after he was initially diagnosed with the dreaded \u201cMulti \u2013System Atrophy Parkinson\u2019s\u00a0type\u00a0 disease\u00a0in year\u00a02014 .\u00a0He was very unfortunate as he had acquired a very rare type of Parkinson decease. The initial symptoms of the rare breed of Parkinson decease had been losing balance and falling while walking It was very pity for Janaka as typically only the much-aged people acquire it. Initially he had made use of a \u2018walker\u2019 but still he had been losing his balance. His\u00a0beloved wife\u00a0Praboda\u00a0had been assisting him from this initial stage in his movements. It is learnt from\u00a0Praboda\u00a0that she wanted to treat Janaka from home owing to the situation of the second\u00a0son.In\u00a0this regard there had been a tremendous support from the Palliative Care from which Doctors and Nurses had visited Janaka daily.\u00a0 Janaka\u2019s friends and colleagues had rallied around him from the initial stages until his death in October 2017.To invoke blessings friends and colleagues had in addition to visiting him, looking to his needs had made 23 blood donations during blood donation campaigns. They had successfully organized \u201cfood fairs\u201d for fund raising. The Consultant Specialists had predicted that he would not live until December 2017.According to his type of Parkinson decease his memory was finally lost completely before succumbing on 21<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0October 2017.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Adding to the woes in Janaka\u2019s family in addition had to confront after the birth of the second son\u00a0Rivinu.He\u00a0had been diagnosed as acquired\u00a0\u201c Autism\u00a0Spectrum Disorder\u201d failing to walk and speak until 3 years This had been an extra burden on the Balasooriya family.\u00a0Ravinu\u00a0is now nine years old must be carried and is not conscious of what he does. He dislikes people and never mixes up even with kids of his\u00a0age.He\u00a0has to be fed and it is learnt that he only\u00a0swallows\u00a0food. However, it is learnt that he likes only to attend the \u201cspecialist school\u201d to mix up with fellow disabled students.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is pertinent to mention that entire funeral expenses amounting to nearly ten thousand dollars had been borne by Janaka\u2019s friends. It is pleasing to note that the friends are still rallying around Janaka\u2019s wife\u00a0Praboda\u00a0and sons\u00a0Siluna\u00a015 years and\u00a0Rivinu\u00a0 09 years. It is learnt that all the family needs are supplied by friends. It is a pity\u00a0the\u00a0 Government\u00a0of Australia had denied Janaka\u2019s pension to\u00a0Proboda. The only source of income for the family is the meagre \u201cCentrelink\u2019 payment that is paid to the disabled son.\u00a0Praboda\u00a0has lamented that is hardly enough to bear the household expenses. These needs are borne by Janaka\u2019s very affectionate friends. The house mortgage needs to be paid. Fortunately for three years arrangements have been approved to pay the interest component only. All these have been made possible because of the endeavours of Janaka\u2019s friends whom I was told that they even\u00a0mow the grass at his garden. According to\u00a0Praboda\u00a0she cannot find employment as she must be with her abnormal son who needs total attention.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>May the walk through the \u2018sansaric\u2019 circle be swift and short for Janaka until he attains Supreme Bliss of Nirvana….<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
