Writing about Gamini Fonseka is always a pleasant and delightful exercise for me. “No Machan, I didn’t write it in March but I will do so now in December”. It is against this backdrop therefore that I write about Gamini to honour his memory as well as that of his nephew and my friend Prasad. Obviousy Prasad had eagerly awaited the article on Gamini and was disappointed. This week while searching for an old mail, I came across the final e-mail sent by Prasad to me dated March 30th 2016.I never replied that e-mail as by the time I read that mail I had come to know of Prasad’s demise.Now I re-read his last mail.It was short “Machan did u write on my uncle Gamini? When did it appear?- Prasad. It was a terrible blow as the late Ajith Samaranayake, Prasad and I formed a “friendship triangle” when we worked together at “The Island”. Furthermore Prasad himself passed away suddenly at the end of march this year. Due to unavoidable reasons the planned article on Gamini Fonseka was not written then as intended.
