THE visionary of our times is no more. Sir Arthur C Clarke passed away and his last rites were conducted in his adopted land of Sri Lanka on Wednesday, March 19th.
For long been an ardent reader of his books, I've met Sir Clarke meany times. Each time I've been impressed with the simplicity of the man and his awesome intellect. Seemingly casual comments he made during those meetings often caused the kind of introspective thought which has contributed to my personal development over the years. Hopefully, the books Sir Clarke autographed for my young sons would become treasured items for them far into the future.
In the passing of Sir Clarke, Sri Lanka has lost a true friend. Hopefully the young lives he helped shape would become visionery leaders in many spheres the nation needs to be led.
