CALL TO HEAVEN

[supun75]

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the

World.

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China .

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he

Noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read

'$10,000 per call'.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what

The telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for

$10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Japan . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the

Same golden telephone

with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in China and

He asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000

He

Could talk to God.

'O.K., thank you,' said the American.

He then traveled to Pakistan , India , Russia , Germany and France .

In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same '$10,000

Per call' sign under it.

The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to Sri Lanka to

See if Sri Lankas had the same phone.

He arrived in Sri Lanka , and again, in the first church he entered, there

Was the same golden telephone, but thi s time the sign under it read

'One

Rupee per call.'

The American was

surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.

'Father, I've traveled all over World and I've seen this same golden

Telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to

Heaven,

But in other countries the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?'

The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Sri Lanka now, Son - it's a

Local Call '.

This is the only heaven on the Earth.

Lanka a haven for international filmmakers

Jordan: Sri Lanka has been a paradise location for the world's film and television crew for more than half a century and more.
The nation's multi-faceted variety and close proximity of diversely contrasting locations have been one of the key indicators with sizzling golden beaches, dry arid landscapes and salubrious cold mountain terrain being a mere four hours away from each other, an article in Al Bawaba published in Jordan said. The first ever (officially recorded) foreign film shot on location in Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was then known) was Carol Reed's "Outcast of the Islands" (1951).
Six years later, Sir David Lean chose Sri Lanka to shoot his 1957 Oscar winning movie 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' with Sir Alec Guinness in the lead more films and tele-series down the line .... John Derek shot "Tarzan the Ape Man" (1981) in Sri Lanka with his wife Bo Derek in the lead.
The second film in the Indiana Jones quadrilogy, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," (1984) was also largely shot on location in Sri Lanka with celebrated movie icon Harrison Ford in his legendary role of the daredevil archaeologist and swash-bucking adventurer Dr. Jones.
There was also "Jungle Book 02" (1996) and the Indian film "Sooriyawansham" (2001) with Amitabh Bachchan.
In fact Harrison Ford counts Sri Lanka as his favourite of the many locations he's worked in. He says: "That was the most extraordinary place. I loved the culture.
We were in a small town and I had the opportunity to eat the local food, ride an elephant and do the weird little stuff one would normally never have the chance to do," he enthuses.
More recently was Indian movie director Deepa Mehta's controversial film "Water" (2005) shot almost entirely on location in Sri Lanka after shooting was literally banned in India. There was also the British film 'Mother Theresa - In the Name of God's Poor' (1999) with Geraldine Chaplin in the lead.
Sri Lanka has always been a movie makers' dream with its natural film set locations from salubrious tea country and ancient, centuries' old ruined cities to its lush tropical jungles. The country offers immense possibilities of romance, adventure and detente.
