Rtr. Jehan De Silva

President (2012-2013)

Compiled by Charitha Sanka Perera

Jehan .. Jehan .. Jehan.....this is actually gonna be hard because anything that is worth mentioning are either too awkward or too weird or just straight forwardly 'unmentionable'......in other words I'm sticking to the 'Bro Code' ;). If we talk about something, it would be cars , games or girlssssssss...oh yeah. Now any girl who is reading this, please don't let this go to your head :P. We spent our first year on a very important research on what looks should a perfect girl have and by god did we do it...eh Jehan. Mostly we were focused on the 'B2B' Ratio ;)   

Its always crazy around that guy. He has this odd urge to always lift and carry me around sometimes. I really don't know what to make of it because I’m busy running away at the time. Its ok if he really wants to carry me , if he really wants to, but just put me back down will you the same way you picked me up. Is that so hard to do? 

I won't even start when it comes to him and dropping me around. He and I tried this back flip stunt and thanks to Mr Jehan's awesome coordination , I missed all the safety cushions we has set up and landed bottom first to the floor. Spent a night in the hospital so thanks a bunch Jehan....You really stick to the saying "I got your back" . Yup you got my back alright.

But on an honest note, he really does and will always have your back no matter to what end. A true wingman till the very end:D...I would just want to say thank you for being my friend

Rtr. Shiva Balachandran

Vice President(2012-2013)

Compiled by Vishanth Balachandran

Young. Mummy Boy. Kiddo. Often get kicked out at certain places for being underage. He attracts guys more than girls. You can call him lazy and sometimes a retard as well, but most often than not he’s high. Loves playing Basketball. Always funfilled. Likes to hang out with friends. If you know him well, you would say he’s one spontaneous dude. Shiva is a character who likes to stand out from the rest and try to deliver something better than expected. This little chap did his schooling at Lyceum International and was a pretty bright case I should say. And not, despite playing the fool at lectures, he works really hard for exams and produces really good grades. He is a very good event coordinator and has a natural knack for good communication skills and enthusiasm.

Rtr. Vishanth Balasubramanium

Secretary (2012-2013)

Compiled by Shiva Balasubramanium

 This is one nutty peanut with a Mohawk which always blows our cover during a game of hide and seek. Born and living in Maligawathe, yes be scared, vishanth also known as "vz" schooled in Gateway International School and passed out in 2009 with "shining results", yes a nerd. Known him for two and half odd years, this boy loves puzzles and is quick with the Rubik's cube, name it 3x3 or 4x4 this guy gets the Algorithm and the logic behind it sorted out in minutes. Friendly and a wise noble old man but sells his wisdom at times for the best of times. As good as he is in his mental games he's an superb athlete in outdoor and indoor, Jack of all trades but unlike master of none he does master most of it. I could keep going but if you want to get to know him, meet him and share a "drink", he'll become a close friend.

Rtr. Sai Ma Devakumaran

Treasurer (2012-2013)

Compiled by Krishnakripa Jayakumar

Its really impossible to describe this young lady in just a few sentences. Sometimes I even doubt if paragraphs and paragraphs would do because she is someone unique I have ever come across in my life. She’s got a vibrant and pleasing personality and I guess that is what makes her stand apart. She’s this firm lady who keeps up her head high and does things according to her instincts. And, MAN! I’m telling ya, she’s got terrific instincts. She knows what is right and what is wrong and she definitely knows how to handle people :P. Sometimes I think the name “Saima” should come with a tagline saying “Always Cut-and-Right!”.You entrust her with something, and you might as well consider it done. She might look like this young teenager, but even the greatest of any tasks you give her, Saima has it all under control. You could really say, She’s like the BOMB (but nah, don’t wanna flatter her anymore.

Rtr. Justin Luckshan Roy

Seargent-at-arms (2012-2013)

Compiled by Danister Ratnasothy

Silent, calm and stable minded person at first sight but has a different personality with his close friends, he is our Chiyan Vikram from "Anniyan" movie, Schooled at St. Benedict’s College and living in Kotahena. Pretty nerdy in the class room, and has his way with the ladies a long way with them alright. Not a sensitive person when compared with his hips, though a finger on his hip would turn this silent romeo into a engertic gymnast laughing his heart out. A good sportsman, especially a very good off spinner when it comes to cricket. Other than cricket our off-spinner loves to play table tennis but his main interests in it was basically to impress women which hardly worked out unfortunately, but like every ant has his day this boy gets so surprisingly motivated and performs superbly when it comes to mixed doubles. Being multi-lingusitic and able to converse in tamil, english and sinhala he has gone one step further into tamil and being able to converse in different types of tamil which can make you laugh for hours but this silent romeo is one of the bestest of friends you can make, you can trust with your secrets and also believe he will stand by you.

The empress of the Seventh Soul Mountain a short beautiful lady with truly innocent eyes that targets the unbelievably unexpected (haha) is none other than Kripa Jayakumar who is most lovingly known as ‘Gundoos’, The Lady Genius in IT who passes all her exams with flying colors recently revealed the secret of her success which ultimately turned out to be a drink that increases memory power and concentration (lol) She is a wise soft spoken girl who is very thoughtful about others. What I truly admire about her is that she is someone who never comments on anyone at any circumstance. She is someone who speaks less but a glimpse of food makes her open her mouth very easily. If she ever loves something, they are books as you can always find her with a book or a laptop in hand. Last but not the least I will never forget to mention about her writing skills! She is a really good writer, owning a blog with her little beautiful writings. I’m sure she will have a bright future ahead. I wish her all the very best from the bottom of my heart..

Rtr. Danister Ratnasothy

IT Director (2012-2013)

Compiled by Justin Lukshan Roy

Dhakshan Danister Ratnasothy alias Danny, Dennis with no Bunnis. Schooled at St.Benedict’s College.. Naturally with an ability to perform in any sports but Dennis chose tennis because he is a fan of Andy RODdICK. He hungers to do all the crazy stuffs and have fun all the time but his commitments keep him tied, definitely not his commitment to his phone *hik hik*. He seems to have messy hair though he spends a lot of time in front of the mirror but the messy hair does do its magic when it comes to girls. Our Danny boy here is a real flirt and a sweet talker but to all you ladies out there please don’t be fooled. Always turns out to be the best friends of couples and helps them throughout relationships and in case of a break up he always stays as a good friend and helps the ‘girl’. Enthusiastic to fool people, not to insult them but instead to get closer to them. Danister is always ready to accept challenges whatever it is, and wants to be different from all the others. He is also a good hard worker. He loves his family really well and he is a really good person to be friends with.

Rtr. Vethapriyan Kugamoorthy

Community Service Director (2012-2013)

Compiled by Krishnakripa Jayakumar

Well now, where do I start about this young gentleman? Today he’s holding the position to a very humble yet high responsibility. Being the Director of Community Service is not an easy job. But I have every belief in him that he will pull it off perfectly. He’s a really nice guy to be with and if you really get to know him, under all that skin, you’ll realize he’s just pure at heart. That being said, if you want to win a place in his heart, start so by offering him anything that has “Angry Birds” written all over it (YES! This little chap loves Angry Birds). But unlike the “Angry Birds”, he can never stay too angry even if he tried too hard. Sometimes, he’s this overly playful guy, but like I said earlier and I am saying again, in him I see something different and I am sure he will take himself to great heights. Oh, and btw, I wish him all the very best with his position.

Rtr. Charitha Sanka Perara

International Understanding Director (2012-2013)

Compiled by Jehan De Silva

Charitha perara AKA Chutti, Hawky & the Ladies man.
One super awesome dancer and does a pretty good job when it comes to making people laugh.
Him staying over for anything is practically impossible because his mom suspects him.( not that i can blame her!)

I suppose he's very matured for his age. Well, at least he aims high. You know what they say... "Age is no barrier".
Has a great passion for driving, but does not get the car that often. If he does get it, the limit is 40Kmph due to unavoidable reasons.
There is not much that anyone can say about Charitha. He's more of a silent assassin (minus the assassin part).

Rtr. Hemika Kodikara

Born and raised around the suburbs of a jungle, yes a jungle very deep down the city of Nawala, still a jungle, he has evolved, civilized and has reached the outer growth of the jungle as the Man you see. This guy is not only a raging bull in the courts but also when he gets on the pc very quick logic thinker and a coder and has an ability to perform under any circumstances. Proud cyber athlete, normally known around as “HEYzr” in all the COD servers and a retired DC (Death Company) Player.

Club Service Director (2012-2013)

Compiled by Sai Ma Devakumaran

Here’s our  'Italian' looking gentleman from Ananda College, the former district Interact Treasurer and the founder of the popular web magazine ‘The Erbenizer’. This Silent Romeo (that’s how he’s branded himself) is none other than Dilshan who is well known as ‘Ibba’ is a very friendly and noble person who has a touch of humour in whatever that he says. Well talking about his studies, he HATES math and LOVES RA (requirements analysis) LOL. A real drama King he is, for he’s easily found at drama practices when expected to be at lectures. He is the talented photographer and the owner of Silent Romeo photography. Being appointed as the Club Services Director, I’m sure he will do a great job.

Rtr. Dino Corera

Public Relations Director (2012-2013)

Compiled by Shiva Balachandran

Newly turned celebrity showcasing his million dollar smile on many different billboard in and around Colombo, Dino Is your daily newscaster on TNL News Radio at 1:00pm when everyone is busy having their lunch. Dino was born, uhhh no clue but raised in Ratmalana and schooled at St.Josephs College not sure if Maradana or Nugegoda but he schooled. This man has the wits of an established standup comedian and has the ability to play-write, act , produce and direct marvelous Stage Dramas. Though typically when you see him he looks very calm and silent this boy can be a timed explosive when you get to know him, personally been a victim to his comebacks and I would applaud at his levels of wittiness and how fast he is at the comebacks. Dino, like all have their most awful times, he has his blue days where the sun don’t shine and the comebacks aren’t that great but he pulls out as a great friend to hang out with when your sober or not and a great “guy” too.
