This December Definitely !

This one to cherish these moments for a lifetime, a piece of love straight out of my heart..


I know no better words, though this piece deserves better,

You must be grateful that I am not writing a letter 

I must unload this overjoyed overfull heart of mine,

I am brimming with laugher and my eyes shine

Subhashree confirmed just a 100 times, if these are savings accounts

In flight we learnt that winning is not the only thing that counts

Appam at that place was the best meal that was had

Walking past the scrambly route, we all were sunset clad

We had wings to fly, we flew far and further

Couldnt ask for more, we had Kalia, Gulabo and the Silver surfer

Lions rock was a cake, how young we were

The bus ride was not, that uncle made us suffer

The crow at the station found an apt place to shit

"Dont look up", I think we liked, though a little bit

The overenthusiastic kids on the train, made our ears bleed

But in Mr student, we found a friend indeed

We all caught cold under a star studded sky

Enticed by the mighty Ramboda, who cared we stay dry

Hattan, Maskeliya, Nelladeniya we hopped

Donuts, and Pizza and sugar buns we shopped

11200 steps were compensated by the glorious sunrise

Though avoiding Adam and beating the Syrian would have been far more wise :)

At Hansa Villa, 23 we all pretended to be

Next whole day, were just for Wilson, sun and the sea

Galle was a beauty, we might never forget

500 LKR on Covid result was definitely a worthy bet

Scuba, Ishaara, babygirl were the bells that rang during the day

New Years under the stars by the sea, there was nothing else to say

Start to the year was counting breaths under water at the Jungle beach

Una to Colombo, through sunset and rainbows, too soon did we reach ?

At A2B it started, at A2B it would end, 

life comes a full circle, just like this my friend

It was coming to an end, I asked time to stand still,

But we had to part ways, for sure against our will !

These words by far, are too small to measure those days,

Its just an effort, those moments gone, and I WISH TO CHASE..!!

Ranting about this book that I read

 Book Review ! This is not so much a book review as much a record of how this book made me feel ! I came to fiction after a long time and wandered and got lost in the lanes of this beautiful island finding love and peace in a warm sunny weather by the sea ! That's the wonder of fiction that even though you know its fictional, nothing ever comes as close to being real and relatable as stories like these. The moment when Linus found out about Arthur and was torn between not knowing whether to trust DICOMY or Arthur was when chills ran down my spine because I know that feeling, a little too much to my liking. Few books and just a few books, after being read create that void which is difficult to fill and sets you looking for something else, some other voice, some other words that can fill this void and this one was for sure among those few ! Lines that blew my mind away and are going to stay with me are.. "Arthur's smile, that quiet beautiful smile that felt like seeing the o...

A book that never leaves you…

The magic and misery that these books are...they consume you, churn you, reform you and make you a different person. One of such books is ‘When breath becomes Air’ by the late Dr. Paul Kalanithi. Books become special and precious when you can associate with them, when they bring alive your story or the story of a loved one. In the initial days, for me, it was a journey of courage to pick up this book and take a plunge into the corridors of hospitals and cases of brain tumors. Every disease is sacred, every case an emotion and every death a scar. I never imagined myself reading a book dealing with brain diseases and hospitals after my abysmal performance post watching movies and videos of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients. This was a whole new escalation. It was brain tumors and cancers. On each page, this book evokes different emotions - sometimes it made me weak and want to collapse and cry sometimes determined to live a life of meaning. I gathered courage, each page wa...

Preserve my core

Some ordinary moments jolt us from inside and leave lessons behind. One such lesson is here... On the lunch table, I was feeling jittery, irritated and trapped, Angry yet dull, my energy was sapped I wondered why, time was not passing by It then dawned on me, I had caused the melancholy You showed off, acted all too wise Your unsolicited judgement, I despise I let myself argue, to beat your pride The ripples created, crushed me inside I damaged myself more than you, because I now realize, I became like you I must learn the art, to avoid and ignore Detach from the pompous, preserve my core
