| King Mihindu V, was residing
in Kapugal Nuwara. He did not have the faintest idea about
the plight, the country was in. Nor did he bother about
the suffering his subjects were going through. All he
did was eat, drink and make merry. All the ministers were
disgusted of his behaviour. Nonetheless, they had the
patience to tolerate him, as he was their king. They did
not desert him. The people were very sad about this misconduct
of the king but they were helpless. |

reflecting the splendour of Sri Lanka made up the vibrant
mosaic wall that was unveiled during Founders Day celebrated
at the Overseas School of Colombo on September 22, 2006.
As past student Alefiya Akbarally (mosaic artist and photographer)
put it, it symbolised the school's bringing together of
various people - of colour, ideas and nationalities to
make a whole. |
