I prefer to be called as a writer, more than a doctor or director…!
I graduated from Faculty of Medicine ,University of Colombo, in 1995. Five years to my medical carrier in year 2000 I completed MSc in Community Medicine. While following the MD in Community Medicine, I concurrently followed Master of Arts in Mass Communication in Sri Jayawardenepura University.
From very early childhood, I developed the habit of reading great number of books. By age of 10 I managed to read virtually all books from all great Sinhalease authors such as W.A. Silva and Martin Wickremasinghe.
As I grew up, I started to read on different topics, especially great biographies got my attention. No matter how busy my schedule was I managed to have my time for books.
I am the Only Authorized Authenticated Biographer of The Emperor of Sinhala Cinema Gamini Fonseka
