Sampanthan (Sam) and I have had a good relationship. He's always blunt in expressing his views, which may have agitated some but an honest person who lived happily in his converted lifestyle. He's my friend and once a housemate, during the 70s, at one of Mr Perinpanayagam's house, in Harlesden known to all 70s guys as '82 Acton Lane' where Sam was our music-man owned several high output speakers and musical instruments. Although we took different paths in life, thus lost regular contacts, however, wherever we met we spent a few minutes alone, many times regurgitating our past. I'll miss you Sam. Goodbye.
