Book launch
 Divined
Editor Merrill Perera's latest book Panny valalu will be launched on
December 15 at Gangarama temple, Colombo 2 at 4 p.m. Merril is known for
his penchant for films and arts and he measures the period when he
compiled the film and arts page at the Dawasa newspaper.
Though many people know Merril as a senior journalist who mingles
well with his colleagues or even juniors in the field, there is another
multicoloured side to him too. He is a great painter and is now planning
to launch an art exhibition soon.
