Hi Romesh, who is Fazl Muhamed Nizar? He has sent a FB friend request and FB says that you are a mutual friend. Do you know him well? At least from his FB he seems to be a good chap concerned with social justice issues.
You sent

Hi Nimal. No, I do not know Fazl well. He is just an acquaintance from Colombo Telegraph (for which he writes articles, of mixed quality). I made FB friends with him with some reservations (since I knew him only from comments on CT), and not much later he posted some of his writings on my page. I had to delete them, since I did not support what he was saying. I thought this a bit forward.

How are things with you? Came across Rupert Sheldrake some years back and also similar stuff when I was in England. Most interesting.

I'm well, Nimal. I have been exploring theories of consciousness, which led me to Sheldrake's work. It is indeed interesting. I had always assumed that the mind is produced by the brain. I am not convinced that this is not so, but Sheldrake's theories about Morphogenetic Fields and Morphic Resonance are interesting - there may be some truth in his claim that the mind extends beyond the brain. What do you think?

My view: The mind is not immured within the skull and mind stuff is not just brain stuff.

My older cousins were very cruel to me when I was a child, especially Mano Mylvaganam, but also Shirani and the others - they used to gang up on me and bully me when I came to Colombo for the holidays. I hated it, but was told I had to put up with the bullying.

You sent

The two - the LTTE and ISIS are linked - closely linked, as I discovered two years ago when I investigated a YouTube site called Eelam Tube, that had posted some footage of my father Asoka Brian Senewiratne.
You sent
4 years ago
I found that this YouTube site had propaganda videos, including the video of my father, prior to the end of the war in May 2009.
You sent
4 years ago
Then it had footage of protests in Europe - where Tamil people were waving LTTE flags and shouting about "genocide". This was part of my father's campaign when his side was losing the war.
You sent
4 years ago
After that, Eelam Tube uploaded about 100 extremely short, shaky clips of bombs and explosions in the Middle East, firt in Egypt and then in Syria, with crude anti-Assad slogans in broken English. Each clip was a few seconds long and they had vey few views.
You sent
4 years ago
This is proof of the LTTE exporting their terrorism to what has become ISIS. In addition, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabi's have been financing and arming "rebels" with the help of the Western countries and Turkey to fight against President Assad and the Sryian people. These people who are fighting are mercenaries and it is the USA (and Israel) that are providing expertise, money and weapons in their war against Russia, Iran and Syria.
You sent
4 years ago
Nimal, you did not deny that Mano Mylvaganam was the LTTE banker. I have reason to believe that your sisters Shirani and Kamini were also getting money from the LTTE. Shirani in particular came by a cash windfall after the war and splurged out on musical instruments and an expensive car, immediately after losing her job. Very suspicious.
You sent
4 years ago
In addition, if Mano was indeed the LTTE banker, what about the role of his older brothers, Chandran and Indra. Chandran is a left-wing political adviser who talks so soft (on purpose) that he can't be heard. He was sent to the USA on a scholarship around 1973, when the separatist war was being planned and prepared for. I want to know exactly by whom, and how much Appa knew about it.

It includes several members of our family, including Appa, Balan Anketell, Rajah Mylvaganam and his own mother, Nenie Samarakkody and father Philip Senewiratne. My father was after money and status.

just a case of someone not wanting something to be said to someone else whom they did not want something known to - honesty candour is a different topic

They are related, in my opinion. Idiot was a favourite term of Winston Churchill. He liked 'moron' and 'imbecile' too.

The reason I mentioned Churchill is because he had a big influence on the English language, as did the other senior Freemasons - since 1717.

Hi Nimal,
I noticed that the same profile photo you use is being used by a person who goes by the pseudonym 'Jak Dong'. This person has left abusive comments on the Facebook page of Sri Lanka's former Foreign Minister.
Do you know anything about this?

Advice:
Attend the appointment
Do NOT talk about anything controversial (your father, the LTTE, the mafia, your theories etc.)
Talk about how you are recovering and how your music is helping you.
After you have finally got out of the system then you can write all about whatever you want

That's good Romesh - and thank you for taking my advice
Just stick to that whenever you are interviewed - keep talking about how your piano playing dexterity and handwriting have improved etc.
If ever you have the urge to talk about anything else think about the music to shift attention
Excellent that that things are improving for you - very glad!

I wanted to discuss the Mylvaganam brothers with you, and their role in the war in Sri Lanka.
You sent

I particularly wanted to discuss Mano Mylvaganam, whom my father lent $10,000 to in the 1970s, despite the fact that he had sexually molested my sister Shireen when she was living in Colombo. She was 13 years old. He was 17, and they were all living in Jawatte Road (with our grandparents Daisy and Winslow Alagaratnam).
You sent

I found out about Mano's molestation of Shireen by cracking the code she had developed for writing secrets in her diary. I was 11 or 12 at the time and I told Amma about it. That's why Shireen was taken from St Bridget's Convent in Colombo and brought back to Kandy.

She was furious with me for reading her diary and never forgave me.

I have noted from his LinkedIn page that Mano studied in Britain and Canada before moving to the USA to work for Citibank and has a degree in business management from the UCLA Anderson School. I remember that in the 1980s when he visited us in Brisbane he gave me a UCLA T-shirt. He describes himself as a "venture capitalist" and "hedge fund manager" on his LinkedIn page.

I used to be sent to Colombo for the Christmas holidays for all the years we lived in Sri Lanka. I found this a very traumatic experience because of bullying by my older cousins, especially Mano, but also Anandan. Mano also showed me Playboy and Penthouse magazines for the first time (the were owned by Chandran and Mano). These were illegal in Sri Lanka at the time, and they also had access to Western (British and American) pop and records, which, the import of which was banned in Sri Lanka (along with other 'luxury goods').

When they were teenagers, the Mylvaganam brothers were obsessed by winning at Monopoly. Mano, in particular, wanted to be the banker - so he could steal from the bank and win. I used to play, as did your sister Shirani, though as I recall, you were living in Jaffna.

I hated Monopoly though I played and also wanted to win. I sometimes (rarely) did - but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I often preferred losing so I could leave the game. I felt bad after the ruthless game regardless of whether I won or lost. But I still played when asked to do so. It is an addictive game. I loved it and hated it at the same time.

Mano also told me, with admiration, about the film-making techniques of Sam Peckinpah and how he achieved realistic violence in the 'Western' movies he directed.
