I used to read Nelum Vila since I was 15 or so. It used to be the first article I search for, once I get Sunday "Silumina" on my hand.Nelum Vila is made of small stories sent by our own people describing their life experiences. Some of these are written to pay tribute to someone. Sometimes we get unexpected help from strangers and we don't even get a chance to thank them. The people seek the help of Nelum Vila to thank them. I have seen such incidents and sometimes the helper also responds after seeing the note in Nelum Vila. I can imagine how someone feels when he see a true praising for him/her.
Sometimes people write the things they couldn't express to anyone and were used to be in their deep mind. I am sure they get a real relief because of Nelum Vila. People sometimes write really sensitive life experiences of them. All of them are true and heart touching. Honestly I've got my eyes wet while reading some of these articles. Sometimes I realize how beautiful is the world we live. It is full of love and true humanity. We just don't have time to see it or that beautiful side of the world is hidden because of few contaminated minds, politics and all the buzz words. We all have that humanity hidden somewhere in us and this Nelum Vila is a clear reflector of that humanity which is the most essential part of "Human definition" .
Nelum Vila is a real lotus pond which lets the flowers come out of the mud. Thanks to online archives of Silumina, I can read all Nelum Vila archives now. So just make it a habit, read it and feel it. You'll realize how many beautiful minds live around us. Most importantly you'll realize how much humanity left in your mind yet.
