Presentation at Sri Lanka Design Festival 2012
Sri Lanka is popularly known as the pearl of the
Indian Ocean. In geology, we see Sri Lanka as
The Gem of Gondwana. In the configuration of
Gondwana, Sri Lanka is situated at the central
portion of the supercontinent. -Masaru Yoshida
THUS IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS SRI LANKA-
THE GEM OF GONDWANA
Its unchanging tropical loveliness, the
mysteriousness of its past, the soft yet excitable
character of its people, its prevalence of strange
animals, birds and flowers all combined to make
life in Ceylon an experience now unequalled
anywhere. -Vinton Liddell Pickens, Serendipity, 1964
Where each old poetic mountain
Inspiration breathed around;
Every shade and hallowed fountain
Murmured deep a solemn sound. -Thomas Gray
