Sivasambu "Ana" Anandaraja's life was adventurous, interesting and full.
His schooling was at the prestigious Royal College, Colombo, the Eton of Sri Lanka, where he was a prefect, managed the Senior Literary Association and was a proud participant in the debating team.

At 17, he was one of seven boy scouts who represented Ceylon at the first World Scout Jamboree in Moisson near Paris. He had vivid memories of the invitation to a garden party at Buckingham Palace that followed, where the scouts formed a guard of honour for King George the sixth.
