This white Octagonal tower made of solid blocks tells the whole story. During my childhood I was fascinated by this isolated giant located in Devinuwara, 160 feet tall. I used to visit this place as a school boy because one of my friends used to live nearby.The lessons I learned in "Social Studies" in school allowed me to get to know about the symbol of a lighthouse which I put as a mean of identification in my tutorials, lecture notes, etc. whereas my friends used to ask me "Are from a Light House Family?"
On December 11, 1998 exactly six years from today, I met a lass in a train travelling from Colombo to Matara. We shared our feelings and decided that we are meant for each other. Today she is my loving wife and the marvel of it was that she hailed from a "Light House Family". She used to live at Lighthouse quarters with her family since her father was the Officer-in-Charge of the Structure.
Destiny made me to be a part of the "Light House Family". I am really surprised by this series of incidents.
