Sri Lanka: Inheriting Colombo
Written byNeha Viswanathan
The Lolly DJ writes a fabulously touching piece on inheriting Colombo from a grandpa who came to Sri Lanka 65 years back.” In 1942, my grandfather, Arthur, was en-route to Singapore, when the impregnable city fell. The soldiers who were there became the stuff of myth, imprisoned and emaciated under the Japanese. While the Army debated where to redeploy his unit, my grandfather was sent over to Ceylon.”
