Indrakeelaya the unshakable is widely accepted to be a classic. These included a fusion of re-worked Sri Lankan folk melodies, classical Indian ragas and the music of John Coltrane and George Gershwin in arrangements that were played on both eastern and western musical instruments.

In between these two performances, in , Pradeep won a Fulbright scholarship and received the benefit of studying Computer Music for two years at Columbia University, New York, under the guidance of Prof. Brad Garten. He brought home his new knowledge acquired during his Fulbright postgraduate studies and used that knowledge to create a new Department of Music and Creative Technology in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.

He was the Founder-Head of this new department and subsequently introduced new courses and revised the syllabi of existing ones on the subject. Through his labours, Pradeep has succeeded in carefully blending the traditional with the modern, thereby enabling the contemporary students of music to familiarise themselves with new technologies to meet the demands of the current world of entertainment.

It was, therefore, both fitting and proper that Pradeep Ratnayake should have been appointed Professor of Music at his university in March Given his tremendous talent, his modesty and quiet confidence, we can look forward to more feasts for our ears from him in the years to come. Pradeep Ratnayake is that rare phenomenon in any country — - the supreme virtuoso performer in his chosen instrument — - the sitar.

He is a young composer opening up new worlds of sound by the fusion of Eastern and Western music. That is why Prof. Let me give the a reader brief account of a few concert items performed on May The event commenced with the playing of a classical raga, yaman, on sitar as a tribute to Ravi Shankar, Indian sitar maestro. Ravibandu Vidyapathi played pakhavaj, an Indian drum.

Its ensemble of musical instruments included the sitar, tabla, gata bera, ghatam, and thammattam. Its ensemble of instruments were Sitar, Piano, Bass guitar, Acoustic Drums, Getabera, Handsonic and Tabla, interspersed with signing by two young vocalists. What flows from Prof. They connect Sri Lankan folk and popular music with the ragadhari system of music as well as the traditions of western music.

Compositions brought into Pradeepanjalie XVIII seem to be a mixture of experimental fusion music and ones that have reached maturity beyond the phase of being experimental. The musicians who were on the stage with Prof. Ratnayake that evening were the best and the most well-known. Ravibandu Vidyapathi, a musician and dance performer of great talent and also choreographer, accompanied Pradeep on the Indian drum.

The pianist was the very distinguished Harsha Makalanda. The tabla was played by a young musician of much creativity and unbound talent, Peshala Manoj. Pradeepanjalee XVII was a wonderful musical experience. As a mere music enthusiast, what struck me that evening was the effort Prof. Ratnayake has made to give a Sri Lankan cultural identity to the sitar and the music performed on, and along with, it.

I have neither the knowledge nor the critical ability to gauge the success of these creative efforts. Even people like Angulimala has become good. People may be bad There can be instances can go wrong in their life. As there were people who kept burrowing into the past He had no problems about my life as such. When he came to hear things about my life here and there..

Though those intimate to me understood that I had gone wrong.. Later when I happened to take an independent decision, Peshala understood that those things happened not because of my mistake. Peshala may have thought that this decision was taken because of incompatibility or some other thing. For a long time Peshala was like a friend of mine.

Friends whom I and Peshala associated always told me that Peshala has a soft corner for me. I said that I have no such thing in my heart Son is with me.. I told that I have a different journey. But Peshala gradually even spoke to our mother and father. My mother and father were affectionate to Peshala. My mother and father had not got any love from a party like that.

Those in our family realised that Peshala respected and loved other elders just as much as he did to his parents. At the time I associated Peshala, he realised how he treated my mother and father and how I treat his mother and father. Peshala had been engaged before but had not got married. He had no children either. Peshala is a popular announcer these days and a skillful musician as such.

Whatever my family background is, though I am someone who is married with one child, Peshala's mother and father understood me. What everyone in the family said was that it is Peshala is the one compatible to me. Therefore we managed to get the blessings of everybody in the family. Do you have any reply to that? I learned a lot of things during the last four years.

I have included that to my new family life. Nobody should suspect anybody at length regarding anything. Otherwise a person may think even if somebody has not robbed.. So, that finally ends up at the point that it is the same whether a robbery has been done or not done. We sometimes don't keep company with all the friends as such. Though actors and actresses go for shooting, they don't get friendly with everyone.

It is the fifteenth year that I am spending with Derana. It's the young crowd who is found in our channel. Everybody in the channel knows that I have so far not started an affair with anybody. If for instance one does not commit that mistake I need need suspect my husband if it happened to be my case. What I tell my friends also is not to suspect anybody.

Because that longtime suspicion could trigger one to make a mistake. We should live in a place free of suspicion, doubt and freedom because however much love is there, even if children are there If the mother in the house is happy, a family can get on well. Now there is no one there to suspect me as such. Wherever I go Why do you associate that person?

Why did so and so talk? I have that freedom to the maximum. That's what is wanted. As long as we live
