I came to visit Sri Lanka last week, I thought, I would light lamps post a pictures.

Great, it is still functioning. Must be a nostalgic feeling lighting them up again.
I suppose the workings of these classic lamps would be deeply ingrained in your dna by now .
Starting with these devices at such a tender age makes a world of difference. The level of fettling skills attained would probably almost be like an innate ability.

 

It's working well!

 

Thanks you for so much , certainly it is great feeling .I will light all of them soon
Take care!

 

A great way to remember time spent with your father

 

Thank you so much, it is great feeling,I will post more pictures after I light all of them.

Thanks you and kind regards!
