“In 1965 Atlas Hall conducted an all island inter school Do You Know (general knowledge) quiz contest among schools. It was recorded at Radio Ceylon studio. Ms Lalith S Maithreepala was the quiz master and Sumana Jayatilaka assisted. Final was won by Rahula College Matara. I was the head of the four member team. We won Rs 1000/- and a trophy.

“In early 60′s a quiz programme called WASANA UDAWA was conducted by Mr. Thewis Guruge also at Radio Ceylon, which was relayed on every Sunday afternoon. It went right round the country. Kundanmals Ltd gave away ELITE finish Georget sarees for the winner every week.

“Harischandra Mills Ltd Matara also sponsored the WASANA UDAWA in 1965. Contestants who scored/answered all questions through out the year were called for the finals. I won the all island prise of Rs 1000.”

I have allowed the negative comments on this moderated blog because I respect dissenting voices — even if they are offered anonymously or using a pseudonym.
