\"Sunil-Thenabadu\"Mahesh Nissanka and another brother were born to deprived, destitute parents from Enderamulla, Wattala, had lamented that when he was young was very lean not attracted to anyone who led a poverty stricken horrid life. Father Sunil Bass\u00a0 had worked in metal quarry from which stones were extracted ,who was compelled to clean his hands with coconut oil at the end of the each day, once had been\u00a0 a \u2018watcher\u2019 at a State Engineering Corporation site, then later had bought beetles and \u2018Keera\u2019 from Thotalanga \u2018pola\u2019 , bundled them and sold to earn a living. Had once bought \u2018Thala\u2019 which had to be minced to make \u2018Thala Guli\u2019 taken on a push bicycle to sell.The grinding part and the yelling to sell \u2018Thala Guli\u201d was made by Mahesh as father\u2019s \u2018golaya\u2019. The mother labelled as \u201cMahana Nanda\u201d ,her only belonging was her sewing machine which she eternally pedaled manually to knit to earn a living. The dwelling they lived in was not at all conducive for a comfortable living. Once on television Mahesh lamented that he used to sleep on a mat on the\u00a0 clay floor .On rainy days both mother and father were used to hold the\u00a0 brittle clay\u00a0 walls\u00a0 tightly preventing it falling on Mahesh\u2019s body. When young were deprived of watching television had visited a neighboring house to watch. When a youth has had an ambition to possess a television at home which was dream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mahesh recollects his young days was like that of Jesus Christ facing loads of agonies. He had attended a small primary school ,Thota Vidyasadaka Junior\u00a0 school\u00a0 in Enderamulla up to fifth standard, then was sent to Gurukula Maha Vidyalaya in Kelaniya which really had changed his life as a solid foundation for his future was created. This was made possible as his father\u00a0 had\u00a0 to Middle East in search of greener pastures\u00a0 for a job to enhance the family life. At the school Mahesh had been fortunate to meet the legendary teacher Seelaratne Senerath who had commenced a radio club in school to whom Mahesh is indebted abundantly. It was for the first time that provided this unique opportunity to speak into a microphone after a fruitful voice test carried out and later to listen to his own voice.That too was in the unfamiliar English vernacular which Mahesh still very modestly say is still\u00a0 to date not conversant in and is foreign to him. Mahesh had been fortunate to learn playing musical instruments and singing which he performed with interest above his academic studies. Mahesh had been a drums player and a vocalist to accepted standards not having any hereditary affiliations, perhaps a God\u2019s precious gift. He was a member of a band outside the school where he was the \u2018drummer\u2019 and\u00a0 the vocalist who had to sing some selected songs. This was a terrific experience which guided him when he\u00a0 joined to the music division of the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation in the later years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
