A Note From The Gull


Thank you, Anand Lawkaran. "Christmas is yours, Christmas is mine", as Relator says in his song. Celebrate it sharing whatever makes you happy.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
