Padmasiri Jayathilaka
I am a retired Mathematics teacher of age 83 years old,from Sri Lanka.
I have a son and a daughter. My wife and myself live with our son and his family. My daughter and her family live in Brisbane.
I discovered haiku about ten years ago and since then have been writing haiku and and trying to capture the precious moments in daily life. I have authored five Mathematics books and three story books for children .
My other interest are chess and birdwatching.
