My Sinhala Poems

I thought to make an online archive of my Sinhala Poems. Those were written sometime back and now it is hard to find many of those as they were kept here and there.  So I thought it is worth keeping atleast the remainings in an accessible place :)

This idea came to me after seeing Tharindu's blog, in which he has kept his creations. Thanks to him I am having an online archive of my poems now. Also, thanks to Saminda I am typing Sinhala well now:). He has implemented a Sinhalaadd-on for firefox too.

62nd Independence day - Sri Lanka

.

.

.

.

We, Sri lankans celebrated our 62nd independence day on 4th Feb 2010.  We achieved  independence and self rule from the British empire 62 years ago (in 1948). This is considered as a remarkable milestone of Sri Lankan history as the country (or a part of  it) was always under some foreign custody since 1505 A.D.

.

1505 - Portuguese come in

1660 - Dutch take over the control

1802 - British get the Dutch controlled areas

1815 - British take the control of whole island by defeating last kingdom (Kandy) of the country

.

4th Feb 1948 is the day we got the full political freedom after about three and half centuries. So no doubt it is a glorious day we should celebrate. However this time independence day celebration was very much special. Actually it was a celebration of real independence after 30 years of war(people like me who were born in the era of war, had not ever witnessed a real independence). It was the first independence day celebration after defeating Tamil tiger terrorist group (LTTE) which is responsible for 30 year war in Sri Lanka. The day the LTTE leader "Velupille Prabhakaran" was killed (18th May 2009), should be the second independence day of Sri Lanka.

Deviating from the tradition, this independence day celebration was held in Kandy,  being the last sovereign kingdom of the country, seems to be the most suitable place for the purpose.

Good Bye 2009 - The year I Loved in Every Aspect

It's 1.08 a.m., 01st JAN 2010. Beginning of another Happy New Year. Well it's bit special this time because, hereafter the tens position will remain  positive for another 90 years :)

Anyway 2009 was a very special and joyful year for me. It was my busiest year too. I had my registration, wedding, graduation in a line. I got my first promotion in my career too. The most important thing is, I could feel the unity of my country under one throne for the first time of my life.

Afterall.....What a wonderful year !!!

Good bye 2009. May this new year bring everyone joy, peace and prosperity.

Convocation - B. Sc. Engineering, University of Moratuwa

We (2004 batch) had our convocation on 25th June 2009. Yes it's a day to remember but I feel it as the last get together of our batch. Anyway it was a nice and bit tough experience :). Bad thing we couldn't get all our people at least for a one last pic because they were here and there busy taking their graduation pics.

Finally....we are graduates. The essence of 17 yrs education. I am really thankful to my dear parents who brought me up here, from the very first day of my school life. I'm sure they were so happy to witness that moment. Also, to Saliya who encouraged me through out my university life.

Isuru (our field top) got the gold medal which was awarded for the highest GPA.  Well....he is bit worried coz he has to keep aside a piece of gold :) - just kidding.Congratulations friend. Well done.

United Sri Lanka, Under one Flag

The day we have been waiting for.......After about 30 years, we have come to an end of  stupid terrorism of  Tamil tigers. The death of  tiger leader Velupille Prabhakaran, is not yet officially announced but seems everyone got the news anyhow.

A rebellion who's responsible for thousands of innocent civilian's deaths,  must have a destiny like this. Hope there will be no more Tamil Eelam dreams in anyone's mind hereafter. There's no doubt.....we got president Mahinda Rajapaksha for the sake of our nation. Wonder why any other leader couldn't do the right  for our motherland.

Sri Lanka Army Commander Lt. General Sarath Fonseka and Brigadier Shavendra Silva (In my personal favor, as the most performed commander) should be honored by every citizen in SL.

A united SL, never got a chance to feel it in my lifetime. So what can I say.....shouldn't this be the most valuable day of my life?

There is no home like one you got.....coz that home belongs to you.....

P.S. 19.05.2009

President Mahinda Rajapakshe addressed the nation today. A new era begins. Feel so lucky to witness this historical day. This is how Nugegoda people celebrated the victory.

Sun Rise at Sripada

My younger brother badly needed to climb Sripada as he had not gone there ever. Finally he was able to( of course with my help :)) convince our parents to organize a small trip. My main intention was to see the Sun rise ("Ira sevaya" in Sinhala) at sripada as I couldn't see it last time due to heavy rain and the cloudy sky. This time we were lucky to see the beauty of sun rise though the sky was cloudy. The sun rise at SriPada is not like a normal sun rise. It comes up and goes down several times while rising.

Sripada is just like a heaven where we can walk through the clouds and feel the origin of rain.
