Reminiscence Or "Memoirs" set in the island of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and later Canada, and is an autobiography in poetry form. Starting with the two most important persons in my life, and going on to recant my upbringing in the nineteen fifties and sixties. Being brought in the old colonial regime of my grandfather and being shown many aspects of his benevolent, but sometimes brusque nature, and a mother who lovingly nurtured me. Camaraderieship between siblings is highlighted. I pin-point the "British Catholic School Upbringing." which "moulded" the child's character so to speak. Mine was a mixed race "The Burghers," (Citizen in Dutch) a fraction of Sri-Lankan society, having descended from the Europeans. Me, from the Portuguese and British. I quote from "An Inside Guide to Sri-Lanka" We (The Burghers) are now......".... At the crossroads of culture." and as a race, have spread our wings to vast parts of the global sphere.
