Well I'm sure most of you know him..I'm not going to talk about his dedication towards music industry or anything related to his career. Since you can even find them on Wikipedia I shouldn't repeat it here.. I'm not going to talk about a musician here, I'm going to talk about my beloved"කොළඹ à·ƒීයා". That's how I used to call him. Since he lived in Colombo I used to call him කොළඹ à·ƒීයා.Until I grow up I didn't know he was a famous person or at least a musician.As a kid I loved visiting him,coz every time I went there he had tons of stories for us.. He was an animal lover. He had a lovely dog named "Ringa"and he loved him alot. One day when I went to see my grandpa Ringa was not to be seen. When I asked him where is he, he answered with teary eyes that he died from a cancer. He did a lot to save him just like I tried to save my Apsara but finally he was gone forever.
