Munthu wamkulu wokhala ndi chitsogozo komanso kudzoza - The Island

Pulofesa Carlo Fonseka

Patsiku lokumbukira kufa kwa Pulofesa Carlo Fonseka, ndikufuna kufotokoza zomwe owerenga adalandira cholowa cha pulofesa wathu wokondedwa kudzera mwa omwe amamupatsa kuti aphunzire ndikuwunika momwe Physiology ndi Mankhwala Osokoneza bongo akuphunzitsira, maphunziro aku koleji, ndi zina zambiri makamaka ku fuko la Sri Lankan. Chopereka chake chidapangidwa m'mitundu yonse, koma kuwonjezera pa moyo wachitsanzo womwe adatsogolera womwe, pakumvetsetsa kwanga, udalongosola za mettā, karunā, mudithā ndi upēkkha, ziphunzitso za Buddha. Ndizodziwika bwino kuti mzaka zoyambilira zaukoleji wake Carlo Fonseka anali wokonda zachuma, komanso womenyera ufulu wa 'Lanka Sama Samaja Occasion'. Ananenanso kuti ndi 'Rationalist'.

'Rationalism' ili ndi matanthauzidwe ndi matanthauzidwe ambiri. Nthawi zambiri, zimamveka molakwika ngati malingaliro omwe amakana zikhulupiriro zonse zosachita kukhulupilira. Koma wina ataphunzira nyimbo zomwe Pulofesa Fonseka adalemba pamutu wotchedwa 'Essays of a Lifetime', zikuwonekeratu kuti 'Rationalism', monga adavomerezera, idayimira lamulo lofunikira pazoyeserera mogwirizana ndi zomwe, pakupanga deta , 'Zolinga' ndizapamwamba pamalingaliro komanso pamalingaliro osatsimikizika.

Monga ambiri a ife tikudziwa kuti palibe chinthu chofanana ndi kusowa kwa zolembedwa pa Pulofesa Fonseka zomwe zidawululidwa kale koposa kuwonjezera pa kumwalira kwake. Poona izi, sipangakhale aliyense woti abwereze mfundo zonyezimira zolembedwa pamaphunziro ake. Komabe, ndikufotokozera mwachidule kuti Pulofesa Carlo Fonseka adapeza MBBS ndi maudindo apamwamba ku College of Ceylon ku 1960; ndipo adapatsidwa mendulo yagolide ya Andrew Caldecott chifukwa chakuwunika bwino pamayeso amenewo, Maneckbai Dadabhoy Gold medal (chifukwa chakuchita bwino kwambiri mu Obstetrics and Gynecology), Perry Exhibition "yokhoza kuchita bwino pakadutsa zaka zitatu, Kusiyanitsa pakuchita Opaleshoni, Obstetrics ndi Gynecology, Pharmacology ndi Forensic mankhwala. Kafukufuku wake wopangitsa kuti dipuloma ya MBBS iphatikizidwe ndi mayankho ambiri otchuka, omwe, ndikuwona, ochepa okha m'mbiri yanu yonse ya Medical College ku Colombo atha kukhala kuti akufanana. Adapeza PhD yake ku College of Edinburgh. Ntchito yake yaukadaulo idalembedwa m'mabuku a Physiology.

Adalumikizana ndiophunzira ku Division of Physiology of the College of Colombo mu 1962 ndipo adakwera pamlingo, atazindikira apa ndi kunja monga wofufuza wabwino komanso mphunzitsi wolimbikitsa, kuti akweze pantchito ya ukadaulo pa Physiology. Pambuyo pake adasamukira ku College of Drugs, Ragama, monga woyambitsa Dean, komanso yemwe adathandizira kukulitsa College kuti ipite.

Adalemba zolemba zambiri zodziwika bwino pamalangizo ake, kutengera ukadaulo wofanana ndi neuroendocrinology, kupweteka ndi kukumbukira.

Dipuloma ya Grasp mu Medical Training idapezeka patapita nthawi yayitali m'moyo (1999) kutsimikizira chiyembekezo chake chakuyembekezera kuphunzira moyo wake wonse.

Anali mphunzitsi wabwino kwambiri mu Physiology ndipo anali ndi chidwi chofuna kuphunzitsa ophunzira ake aku koleji. Ophunzira ake aku koleji ku Colombo ndipo pambuyo pake ku Kelaniya adamupembedza ndi kumukonda. Mmodzi mwa onse omwe amasilira ophunzira ake akuti mutu wake 'Carlo' uyenera kuganiziridwa kuti ndi chidule cha nthawi ya Sinhala 'Kālōchitha' - mawu okopa chidwi!

Kunja kwa malo ophunzitsira, kusanthula ndi kuwongolera maphunziro, adapitiliza kusamalira chidwi chodziwika bwino ndikupanga nawo gawo lonse pantchito yake pamitundu yonse. Mwachitsanzo, buku lomwe aelemba limafotokoza za kufunika kogulitsa mtendere ndi mgwirizano pakati pa magulu ndi cholinga chothana ndi umphawi, ndikupeza chilungamo komanso chilungamo ku Sri Lanka.

Anali wolimbikira kwambiri pothana ndi kumwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo komanso kusuta fodya, ndipo adagwirizana kwambiri ndi oyang'anira, mosasamala kanthu za ndale zomwe zimafunikira omwe amamupatsa.

Atapatsidwa ntchito yoyang'anira maphunziro, sanathenso kukhala 'wotsimikiza' wa mabwana andale. Amatsogozedwa ndi zikhulupiriro zake, ngakhale pomwe kulimba mtima kwake kunapangitsa kuti zisakhumudwitse ena mwa maulamuliro ambiri omwe alipo.

Tsopano tawona kuti anali wokhudzana ndi glitterati ya zaluso zathu zaku zisudzo, sinema ndi nyimbo, komabe osati ndi cholinga chofuna kutchuka. Kuyanjana kumeneku kunachitika chifukwa cha ochita masewerawa omwe anali kumutsata, chifukwa anali ndi luso lowathandiza kukwaniritsa zofuna zawo.

Ndimaona kuti ndizovuta kulingalira za munthu wina aliyense mgulu lathu la koleji yemwe chikalata chake chitha kufanana ndi kuthekera kwake komanso kuthekera kwake pamitundu ingapo. Koma, adalumikizana momasuka ndi awa m'magulu aliwonse amtundu wathu, limodzi ndi achinyamata akumidzi, osati ngati 'pundit' wofalitsa chidziwitso kapena wokonda kuvotera akulu, koma ngati mnzake wabwino akuyembekeza kukambirana.

Ntchito yotsiriza ya katswiri wa Professor Fonseka ikuwonetsedwa mu nthano ya iye kupita kumudzi m'boma la Puttalam, wopemphedwa kukalankhula ndi bungwe lanyumba, makamaka ophunzitsidwa bwino ndi ophunzira kusukulu yasekondale pasukulu yapamwamba Chigawo Chapakati. Zinali mkati mwa nthawi yovutitsa kupanduka kwachinyamata kwa 1971. Monga momwe adakonzera kale, atafika pa siteshoni ya sitima m'mawa mmawa, adalandiridwa mwaulemu ndikuperekezedwa kumalo amsonkhanowo panjinga ya njinga, ndi 'sing'anga wopambana' adadzigwetsa yekha, ndikukhala pamphepete mwa njingayo, magalimoto apamtunda nthawi yochepa kwambiri poyerekeza ndi omwe alipo. Makhalidwe anali amodzi mwa mafuko ophatikizana. Omvera ake, akazi ndi abambo achichepere kwambiri, anali Abuda, Akatolika ndi Asilamu, komanso atsogoleri achipembedzo. Poyankha nkhaniyi, adamvetsera zokambirana mwachidwi, ndipo adatenga nawo gawo pazokambirana za moyo zomwe zidatenga mpaka pakati pa tsiku. Chomwe chidasangalatsa wolemba nkhaniyo kuposa china chilichonse chinali njira yodekha, yaulemu komanso yokopa yomwe 'sing'anga' wodziwika adayankhira ngakhale iwo omwe samatsutsana ndi malingaliro ake ochepa. Anadya nkhomaliro limodzi ndi omwe amakhala nawo, macheza ena owonjezerapo, ndipo adapita naye ku siteshoni ya Railway, kuwonetsera gawo laling'ono la anthu athu kuti zopinga za 'Ivory Tower' siziyenera kuwonjezeka kwathunthu.

Umenewo unali mkhalidwe wachilendo komanso wopereka chitsanzo chabwino kwa munthu wina wa Pulofesa Fonseka, mphamvu "yoyenda ndi mafumu, osataya kulumikizana pafupipafupi", mikhalidwe ya 'Man' wabwino kwambiri monga akuwonetsera wolemba ndakatulo wodziwika bwino Rudyard Kipling.

Pawebusayiti payokha, anali mnzake wogwira naye ntchito wokwera mtengo kwambiri. Kuwongolera, kudzoza komanso kukomera mtima komwe adatipatsa ife akatswiri azamakhalidwe azikhala pakati pathu kwa zaka zochepa kuti abwerere.
