Happy 90th, Arthur C Clarke
Monday, 10 December 2007 - 10:45 PM SL Time

Hey, it`s Sir Arthur C Clarke`s 90th birthday on December 16th, and the Sri Lanka Astronomical Association is collecting birthday wishes from Sir A`s many fans, admirers and friends.

Today, the Clarke Orbit has over 330 satellites. Sir Arthur C. Clarke, a science-fiction author, inventor, and futurist, simply a greate mind celebrates his 90th birth anniversary on 16th of December, 2007.

In 1959, he founded the Ceylon Astronomical Association (now known as Sri Lanka Astronomical Association). As the current General Secretary of the Association, I`m honored to run an association founded by him. And as a big fan of his writings and admirer of his work, I have put up a blog where every one could wish him for his 90th birth day.

If you are a friend, colleague, fan or simply an earthling who admires work of Sir Arthur Clarke, please write your greetings and good wishes on the blog.

I wish Sir Arthur a long life, even he has partially lost his creativity now.

If not for anything else I have largely inspired by his works of fiction from my childhood days. I have translated few of his short stories sometime back. Also lucky to have one of his autographed books.

However it surprises me our Trotskyite friend Ruchira making this post greeting a colonial master who predicted the fall of both capitalism and socialism. :-)
