November 10 each year is a red letter day for a couple residing at China Fort, Beruwala, for their three children, celebrate their birthdays together on this day.

M. S. M. Issath and his wife M. Z. Fathima Badriya have created history in a small way by having three children born on the same day, November 10 although the years differ. The eldest daughter Fathima Isna was born on November 10, 1993 the second daughter Fathima Insha was born on November 10, 1996 while the third a son was born on November 10, 2001 at a private hospital in Colombo.

Prof Wilfred Perera has said this is a unique happening which is recorded in the history of this country. A similar phenomenon had been reported on two earlier occasions from Norway and UK.

Two girls who are very brilliant are the products of Naleen Hadjiar Balika Maha Vidyalaya China Fort, Beruwala while the boy Yohiya Ayyash is awaiting the school admission.
