She went on to say that seeing UB40 live at the Warfield, in SF, was something else!
“Growing up in Sri Lanka, in the '80s, I loved their music, and that night I felt like I was transported back home. singing every lyric, feeling every beat.
“My cousin Samanthika and her husband Bharatha were with me and the three of us were totally in the zone, like time hadn't passed at all. It brought back so many memories ... old school days, cassette tapes, and those chill evenings back home; pure nostalgia. It's a night I'll always remember.”
Mahesha went on to say that Warfield is a historic theatre with great acoustics, and that particular night it felt electric.

Loneliness: Scourge of modern life
I did not see my best friend Roy (not his real name) for some time. When I made inquiries from his family, I was told that he had gone to Australia to spend his retirement. One day my phone rang and a familiar voice greeted me. It was Roy. I was overjoyed to hear his voice. I asked him, \"Are you going to spend the rest of your life there?\" \"No I am back in Sri Lanka,\" he said. He went on to say that he returned to Sri Lanka as he felt very lonely in Australia. \"When my daughter and her husband go for work, I was left alone in the house. I had no one to talk to. All the people are busy earning their livelihood. They have no time to talk to others,\" he said sadly.
