Very sad to hear that Mr. Nadarajah Mahesan (Nada) has passed away in London, England. His family was well known in Jaffna, Srilanka and they lived close to my family. My family and his family were known to each other well. Nada was well known and popularly called as "Panamkoddai", those days. Because of his popularity this nick name spread like wild fire. My wife and myself are very good friends of Nada's sister Jeya and her husband Siva, who are Canadians but temporarily having a long holiday in Colombo. Our deepest sympathies to them, their family and to all their other family members. May Nada Mahesan's Soul rest in Peace.
