(OL) exams (a.k.a. සාපෙ) last wednesday the 21st of december 2011. It started on the 12th and went on for 10 long days. Each second, minute and hour was a struggle during that brief period but it was a good experience for me because right after the exams finished i realized that i have developed many qualities that i did not seem to possess earlier. OL's were a dreadful yet a memorable experience. On the day it ended i went out for a movie at sri lanka's only 3D film theatre which was built while we were doing our exams with some of my friends. We watched the 3 musketeers there at 4.15 and we roamed majestic city for about an hour and we got a chance to sing a christmas carol on tnl rocks radio booth at MC and we won our selves each a kik cola bottle. Thereafter we had dinner at some new restaurant called eat more in bambalapitiya and for dessert we went to il gelato. That was one of the best times of my life, not only because i had a lot of fun but also because i was relieved of a headache which i have been carrying on my shoulders for 2 whole years. Unfortunately on thursday and friday i got sick and i was bed ridden. I was so bored that i actually went through 150 of my friends profiles on facebook that day. Then i also did a lot of reading. Today i finally convinced my parents to buy me a Canon EOS D60 dSLR camera which i will be getting on tuesday. As soon as i get it i'll master the art of photography and i'll have a profile on flickr and i'll post my favourite photographs on this blog. I also started a company called Red Flicks Motion Pictures. I cannot disclose any further details about that company for now as it is still in it's basic stages but if it becomes a success i will be sure to post it on this blog asap.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-1409450600344446702?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/1409450600344446702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/12/taste-of-after-ols.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/1409450600344446702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/1409450600344446702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/12/taste-of-after-ols.html' title='A taste of After OL&apos;s'/><author><name>EmjaydeNaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01308430977771531383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/SucGOFacuqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mgNFwjGdCCE/S220/PICT0132.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389051282813196918.post-2245596471320948388</id><published>2011-11-08T08:17:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-11-08T08:17:23.981+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Learn Touch Typing Free - TypingClub</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://typingclub.com/"&gt;Learn Touch Typing Free - TypingClub&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a style="font-size:13px" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pengoopmcjnbflcjbmoeodbmoflcgjlk"&gt;'via Blog this'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-2245596471320948388?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/2245596471320948388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/11/learn-touch-typing-free-typingclub.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/2245596471320948388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/2245596471320948388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/11/learn-touch-typing-free-typingclub.html' title='Learn Touch Typing Free - TypingClub'/><author><name>EmjaydeNaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01308430977771531383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/SucGOFacuqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mgNFwjGdCCE/S220/PICT0132.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389051282813196918.post-7274411179955803385</id><published>2011-10-09T08:22:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-10-09T08:22:04.887+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Muladi Banda Aadare - H.R.

I have been an active user of ustream since 2009, and I have web cast almost 200 live events ever since, using ustream. And personally I prefer ustream because it's a very simple yet effective way to deliver your content to your viewers. I guarantee you that at the end of this tutorial you would be able to web cast like a pro ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Step 1 : Creating an Account and Logging In.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;First you need to create an account at &lt;a href="http://ustream.tv/"&gt;http://ustream.tv&lt;/a&gt;. When you visit the site a page similar to the picture below will appear. This is the home page of ustream. Now you have to create an account, for that you'll have to click on the "Sign Up" link which is at the top right corner of the home page right before the big yellow "Go Live!" button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q0FtQqlJ4h0/TjTGVQyj-9I/AAAAAAAAALs/CICGOJOMeLE/s1600/Step+1+-+1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="371" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q0FtQqlJ4h0/TjTGVQyj-9I/AAAAAAAAALs/CICGOJOMeLE/s640/Step+1+-+1.PNG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;After you select that you will be directed to a page like this,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DAFhz-ua8Qk/TjTH4SzI6RI/AAAAAAAAALw/8rfu3KZLXFA/s1600/Step+1+-+2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="428" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DAFhz-ua8Qk/TjTH4SzI6RI/AAAAAAAAALw/8rfu3KZLXFA/s640/Step+1+-+2.PNG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"&gt;After you fill in your credentials ustream will send a confirmation email to you.

I will be facing the OL examination this December and at the moment I am not ready at all. But I have a very&amp;nbsp;methodical&amp;nbsp;plan to gain about 8A's for the 9 subjects that I do. Actually my plan is to work according to a schedule I made. According to that schedule I must completely wander from facebook.com which I managed to&amp;nbsp;successfully&amp;nbsp;complete. The second step is to limit my time on the internet to around 45 minutes for a day, which is just enough time for me to check my email, to work on a blog post and to check my tweets for the day. The third step is to avoid wasting time, I actually planned to study for 10 hours a day which leaves me with another 14 hours, when I reduce 8 hours from it to sleep, i end up with a further 6 hours. From that six hours two mores are further deducted for my&amp;nbsp;tuition which leaves me with 4 hours to travel, eat, to watch some TV,to read a few newspaper articles, to go online;), and for other various activities of leisure. I know it's a tough schedule but it's only for four months plus the results will be extremely good as well, that i can assure without any doubt [only if I manage to work according to the schedule;)]. But in order to follow it I need to cut school, which is not encouraged by anyone. But it's the only way, and it must be done as my future depends on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we set our focus back to the topic "Mid Term Exams : Loosely Tense" you and I both suddenly&amp;nbsp;realize that we've been hoovering off the topic. When I say that I am feeling loosely tense during the mid term exams while all or at least most of my colleagues are feeling really tense I didn't mean that I don't care about this exam, I actually meant that I am not targeting for it as any other &amp;nbsp;person is going to fail the first major hurdle of his/her life would do. (I'm not gonna fail my exam, I just want to get better grades, I want the best grades) There's a reason why I need good grades. It's because in the present middle class society good grades are a bundle of joy for parents and relations and it's a popular and a very effective way of showing everybody that they are superior. I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. Getting good grades has become more of a trend than an educational qualification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, my 45 minutes for today is coming to an end and it's time for me to say Good Bye, so GOOD BYE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7snsYFRFiNM/TjFTYv6qE4I/AAAAAAAAALI/_4DCN65pNJA/s1600/Capture.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7snsYFRFiNM/TjFTYv6qE4I/AAAAAAAAALI/_4DCN65pNJA/s1600/Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The official email sent to me by college, containing the mid term exam time table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-5912648643991585487?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/5912648643991585487/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/07/mid-term-exams-loosely-tense.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/5912648643991585487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/5912648643991585487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2011/07/mid-term-exams-loosely-tense.html' title='Mid Term Exams : Loosely Tense X46DZE4GUF4N'/><author><name>EmjaydeNaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01308430977771531383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/SucGOFacuqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mgNFwjGdCCE/S220/PICT0132.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7snsYFRFiNM/TjFTYv6qE4I/AAAAAAAAALI/_4DCN65pNJA/s72-c/Capture.PNG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389051282813196918.post-4685849598746904538</id><published>2011-07-26T15:40:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2011-07-28T16:47:45.064+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Embark Puppy Adoption Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MXO5n2SsD7Q/Ti6NXL5tBrI/AAAAAAAAALE/LfFCXhzYRDA/s1600/image_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MXO5n2SsD7Q/Ti6NXL5tBrI/AAAAAAAAALE/LfFCXhzYRDA/s640/image_0.jpg" width="440" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;X46DZE4GUF4N&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Adopt a street pooch! I came across this when I was going through my email this afternoon. I think this is a splendid idea. Thumbs up for embark! Embark is actually a subsidiary of Odel; Sri Lanka's only department store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that their actually doing a good job. Once there was a stray cat wandering in my neighbourhood with an odd ball shaped pinkish thing attached to his tail. One of my neighbours figured out that it was actually some sort of boil and they called embark. Within a few hours they arrived in a mini van, caught the cat and left with my neighbour to the Animal Hospital. The boil was actually a cancer and the cat was immediately operated and within a few days he was cured. Afterwards &amp;nbsp;the cat was put back to the neigbourhood to continue to wander about. And then they revisited about a month later to check on the cat and they gave the cat some treats and left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another neigbour of mine adopted a puppy from embark a few years back. She says that an embark crew visits the then-pup-now-dog once in every 4 months and checks the situation and helps the dog owner if he has any financial&amp;nbsp;difficulties&amp;nbsp;which may affect the dog . They also vaccinate the pups so whoever is planning to adopt one wouldn't have to worry about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I encourage anyone who wishes to get a pup to go get one from embark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

The service launched on June 28, 2011, in an invite-only testing phase. The following day, existing users were allowed to invite friends, who are above 18 years of age, to the service to create their own accounts. However, this was quickly suspended in a day after there was "insane demand" for accounts. Google+ will be built as a layer that not only integrates different Google social services, such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz, but also introduces many new features including Circles, Hangouts, Sparks and Huddles. Google+ will also be available as a desktop application and as an application on Android and iOS operating systems. Sources such as The New York Times have declared it Google's biggest attempt to rival the social network Facebook, which had over 750 million users in 2011.

පැමිණියේ හිමිදිරි උදයේ ය. ගුවන් යානයෙන් එළියට පැමිණ, වටපිට බැලූ ඔහුට එය ගුවන් තොටකට වඩා තණ බිමක් සේ හැඳින්වීම සුදුසු යයි හැඟිණ. ගුවන් යානයක් තබා එයිටත් වඩා විශාල දෙයක් පැමිණියත් ඒ ගැන කිසිදු තැකීමක් නොකළ බැටළුවෝ එකිනෙකාට ළංව පැමිණි අමුත්තා දෙස බැලීමට හෝ උන් නොවෙහෙසුනත්, එක් ලොම් නොකපන ලද වයස් ගත බැටළුවකු පමණක්, තණ උලා කෑම නවතා හිස ඔසවා බෂීර් දෙස බලා යළිත් වහා හිස නැඹුරු කරගෙන උලා කන්නට වූයේ, මේ කඳුකරයට පුරුදු සිරිතක් ලෙසය. අමුත්තකු පැමිණි විට ඔහු කවරෙකු ද, කුමක් සඳහා පැමිණීයේ ද යන්න දැන ගැනීමට අවශ්‍ය වූවත්, එය සොයා බැලීම අවිනීත ක‍්‍රියාවකැයි මේ කඳුකර වාසීන් අදහස් කරන බව බෂීර් දැන සිටියේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt;	&lt;/span&gt;මල් සුවඳ සමඟ මුසුවු තණකොළ සුවඳින් පිරුණු වාතය, යන්තමින් ඇසෙනා සුළෙඟ් මුණු මුණු සංගීතය, පැහැදිළි අහස, මේ සියල්ල සුපුරුදු බව ඔහුට දැණින. අමතක වන්නට යමින් තිබූ ළමා විය බෂීර්ගේ මතකය තුළ විනිවිද යන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මගේ ගෙදර, මගේ අම්මා,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එය අස්වනු කපා ගන්නා කාලය විය. තණකොළ සහ පිදුරු සුවඳින් වාතය උණුසුම්ව තිබිණ. බෂීර් මඳක් නැවතී ඒ උණුසුම් වාතයෙන් පෙනහලූ පුරවා ගත්තේය. හෙට දිනයේ නැතිවේ යයි බියෙන් මෙන් නගරයේ සිට කඳුකරයට පැමිණියෙකු හුස්ම ගන්නා ආකාරයෙන් ඔහු නිදසේ දෙ අත් දෙපසට විහිදුවමින් උණුසුම් වාතයෙන් යළි යළිත් සිය පෙනහලූ පුරවා ගත්තේය. මල් සුවඳ, ගුවන් ගමන පුරාවට නැග එමින් තිබූ හිතා ගත නොහැකි වේදනාව සමනය කරන්නට පටන් ගත්තේ හාස්කමකින් මෙනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මීට පෙර දින, බෂීර් සයිබීරියානු නගරයේ සිය රැුකියාව කරමින් සිටියදි, ඔහුට විදුලි පණිවිඩයක් ලැබී තිබුණි. ලේකම් වරිය ඔහු අතට එය බාර දෙන ලද්දේ හරියටම රාජ්‍ය කොමිසම එහි නව සංස්කෘතික මන්දිරය පරික්ෂා කරමින් සිටියදීය. එහි මූලිකත්වය ගෙන කටයුතු කළේ බෂීර්ය. මේ මුළු කාලය පුරාම බෂීර්ගේ දෙනෙත් සභාපතිගේ මුහුණ වෙතින් ඉවතට යොමු නොවී පැවති අතර ඔහු වෙතින් දැක්වුණු ප‍්‍රතිචාරයෙන් බෂීර් දුටුවේ සියල්ල නිසි පරිදි සිදුවී ඇති බවය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මෙම ගොඩනැගිල්ල ඔවුනගේ ප්‍රෞඪත්වයයි, සතුටයි, අලූත් නගරය අලංකාර කරවන්නේ මෙ මන්දිරයයි. මෙහි මුල්ගල තැබු දිනයේ සිට බෂීර් වැඩය නොගිය දිනයක් නොවීය. ගොඩනැගිල්ල ඉදිවෙනවා නොදුටු දිනයක් නොවීය. ඉරිදා දිනවල විල අද්දරට හෝ වන ලැහැබට හෝ වෙනත් තැනකට හෝ විවේකය ගත කරන්නට යෑමේදී පවා කෙටි මාර්ගයක් තිබියදී දිගු මඟක් ගෙවා, වැඩ නිමවන ගොඩනැගිල්ල බලාගෙන යෑමට ඔහු අමතක කළේ නැත. ඔහුගේ නව හැවිරිදි පුතා යකඩ කැබැල්ලක් හෝ අඩුම වශයෙන් ගඩොල් කැබැල්ලක් ඩැහැ ගැනීමට උත්සාහ කළේය. ඔහුත් බිරිඳත් කතා කළේ ඉදිරියේ දී මෙහි පෙන්වන නාට්‍ය විවිධ ප‍්‍රසංග ආදිය පිළිබඳවය. දුව පහළොස් හැවිරිදි වැලැන්ටිනා සිතුවේ නැටුම් ගැනය. දැන් ගොඩනැගිල්ලේ කටයුතු අවසන්ය. තෘප්තිමත් හිනාවකින් සභාපති අත දිගු කරන විට එතැනට පැමිණියේ බෂීර්ගේ ලේකම්වරියයි. වැරදි වේලාවක පැමිණි බව හඟවන බැල්මකින් ඔහු ලේකම්වරිය දෙස බැලූවෙය. නමුත් වක්‍රෝක්තියෙන් සමාව ඉල්ලමින් ඇය ඔහු වෙතට කඩදාසියක් දිගු කළේය. සභාපතිගේ කතාවේ එක් වාක්‍යයකින් අනෙකට මාරුවන විරාමයේ දී ලේකම්වරිය ඔහුගේ කණට කොඳුරා,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,විදුලි පණිවිඩයක්, කීවා ය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,එනකං ඉන්න බැරිද?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ඔහු ලේකම්වරියගේ ඇඟට කඩා පැන්නේය. එහෙත් සමාව යදින බැල්මක් හෙළා, ඇය නැවත කතා කළාය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,බෂීර් අබ්දුලාවෙචිච් කරුණාකරලා දැන්ම &amp;nbsp;ඕක කියවන්න,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එහෙත් ඇයට කන් දීමට ඔහුට වෙලාවක් නොවීය. කඩදාසිය කමිසයේ වම් උඩ සාක්කුවේ ඔබාගත් ඔමු නැවත සභාපති වෙත හැරී කතාවට සවන් දුන්නේ මඳහසක් නගා ගනිමිනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;විදුලි පණිවිඩය පිළිබඳ ඔහුට සිහිවූයේ ඉන් බොහෝ වේලාවකට පසුව කොමිසමේ නිලධාරීන් ද පිටව ගොස් ආපසු තම කාර්යාලයට පැමිණ තෘප්තිමත් සිතින් සිටිනා විටදීය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;පැය කීපයකට පසු ඔහු සිටියේ ගුවන් යානය තුළය. මඳක් පඩු පැහැවූ කඳු බෑවුම් සහ කොළ පැහති බෑවුම් ද නොඋස් බිත්ති සහිත කුඩා ගෙවල් ද දෙ ඇස් වසා ගත් ඔහු දුටුවේය. ඒ ඔහුගේ කුඩා ගමයි. ඒ ගෙවල් සියල්ල මිනිසෙකුගේ අතට ගත හැකි යයි ඔහුට සිතිණ. පැතලි වහළවල් සහිත මැටි ගෙවල් ඒ ප‍්‍රදේශය පුරාම විය. මිනිසෙකු පොළොවේ පසට ළංවන තරමට ඔහු කරුණාවන්ත උදාර පුද්ගලයෙකු වන්නේ යයි ඔවුහු විශ්වාස කළේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මගේ පැටියෙ නැගිටින්න. දැන් හොඳටම එළිවෙලා. කුරුල්ලො සිංදු කියනවා. කිකිළියො පැටවුන්ට කෑම හොයනවා. වහු පැටව් සෙල්ලං කරනව,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මෙසේ කියමින් මුහුණ අතගාන අම්මාගේ අතේ උදා හිරුගේ උණුසුමත් පාන් සුවඳත් බෂීර්ට දැනෙන්නාක් මෙන් විය. ඇගේ පුතා අකමැත්තෙන් පළමුව එක ඇසක් ද පසුව අනෙක් ඇස ද සෙමෙන් අරියි. ජනේලය තුළින් පළල් හිරු රැුස් පොළොවට වැටී තිබේ. කාමරය ආලෝකයෙන් සජීවීව ඇත. ජනේල් පඩිය මත ඇති පිඟානේ &amp;nbsp;අලූත් උණු පාන් ගෙඩිය කෑමට පිරිය වඩවමින් සුවඳ විහිදුවයි. පාන් ගෙඩිය වටා කදිමට දුඹුරුවන්ව පිළිස්සී ඇත. අම්මා තවමත් ඇඳ ළඟය. හිරු එළිය එන්නේ ජනේලයෙන් නොව අම්මාගේ අත්වලින්, දෙඇසින්, මුහුණෙන්, මුලූ සිරුරෙන් යයි ටිකෙන් ටික ඇස් අරින බෂීර්ට සිතෙයි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මගේ කම්මැලි කොල්ලා නැගිටින්නේ නැද්ද?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;පුතා දෙඇස් අරින බව දකින අම්මා ඔහු වෙතින් ඈත් වෙමින් කියයි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අරහෙ තාත්තා දොර ජනෙල් හදනවා. කම්මැලි පැටියා තවම නිදි,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එසේ කියමින්ම ඇය කළු පසුබිමේ සුදු තිත් වැටුණු මේස රෙද්ද මේසයට එලා ඒ මත පිඟන් තබා උණු උණු පාන් ගෙඩිය ඉතා හුරුබුහුටි අන්දමින් කපද්දී මුළු කාමරයම පාන් සුවඳින් පිරෙන්නේ කටට කෙළ උනවමිනි. හදිසි බඩගින්නක් දැනී බෂීර් ඇඳෙන් පනින විටම, තාත්තා ද වැඩය අඳින දුඹුරු ඒප‍්‍රනයේ අත පිස දමමින් කාමරයේ දොරින් ඇතුල්වී බෂීර්ට සුපුරුදු දැක්මක් විය. මෙසේ සැමදා දිනට පටන් ගත්තත් එය ඔහුට සැම දිනම නැවුම් මිහිරක් ගෙනාවේය. එහෙත් ජීවිතය සැමදා සුන්දර වූයේ නැත.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එදින උදයෙහි ද ලිපෙහි ගිනි දැල් දිදුලමින් තිබුණි. හිරු එළිය උණුසුම්ය. කිරි බඳුන සුපුරුදු ලෙස ජනෙල් කණ්ඩිය මතය. තාත්තා අලූත් ගෙයි අත්තිවාරම සඳහා මිටියකින් ගලකට තලන හඩෙහි මිහිරියාවක් විය. අම්මා උදුන අසල උණු බනිසයක් ඒ අතින් මේ අතට මාරු කරමින් පුළුස්සනු බෂීර් ඇඳේ සිට බලා සිටියේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කොපමණ වේලාසන අවදි වූවත් අම්මා ඇඳ අසලට එන තුරු බලා සිටීම බෂීර්ගේ සිරිතකි. අම්මා ඇඳ ළඟට ඒමටත් පෙර, මේස රෙද්ද එලීමටත් පෙර බනිස්වල සුවඳින් කාමරය පිරෙන්නට සුදානම් වෙද්දීම තාත්තා ගෙතුළට ආවේ දුවමින් මෙනි. වෙනදා තිබූ සන්සුන් බව වෙනුවට මුහුණේ වූයේ කනස්සලූ කණගාටුදායක බවකි. තම ශක්තිමත් දෙ අත් ඒප‍්‍රනයේ පිසිමින් අම්මා දෙසත් තමා දෙසත් මාරුවෙන් මාරුවට තාත්තා බැලූ බැල්මට බෂීර්ට අද මෙන් මතකය. නොපැහැදිලි විපතක් කුඩා බෂීර්ට ද දැනී ඉබේම මෙන් නැගිටී ඇඳ උඩ ඉන්දැවුණේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මොනවද වෙලා තියෙන්නෙ?, අම්මා කලබලයෙන් තාත්තා දෙස බලමින් කෑගැසුවේ වචන සොයා ගන්නටය නොහැකිවාක් මෙනි. තාත්තාගේ පිළිතුර වුයේ තනි වචනයකි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,යුද්දෙ,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එයින් පසු දිනයේ ඔහුගේ නිව පසුකරගෙන යන අශ්වයන් ඔහු දුටුවේය. කළු, සුදු, මහත, කෙට්ටු අශ්වයන් ද උන් මත නැගුණු තරුණ මිනිසුන්ගේ කනස්සලූ මුහුණු ද උද්‍යෝග මුහුණු ද සිනාසෙන මුහුණු ද ඔහු දුටුවේය. ඒ කුඩා පාරේ ඔවුන් නොපෙනී යන තුරු කුඩා බෂීර් ද අම්මා සමඟ වැට ළඟට වී බලා සිටියේය. ගැඹුරු හුස්මකින් ළය සැහැල්ලූ කරගත් අම්මා බෂීර්ගේ අතින් අල්ලා ගෙන තාත්තාගෙන් හිස් වූ ගෙය දෙසට එද්දී ඇගේ අතේ උණුසුමත් සුමුදු ශක්තියත් කුඩා බෂීර්ව අම්මාගේ ඇඟට හේත්තු කළා ඔහුට අද මෙන් මතකය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කමිස උඩ සාක්කුවේ වූ විදුලි පුවත අතට ගත් බෂීර් නැවත එය කියවීය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අම්මාට අසනීපයි වහාම එන්න,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මේ වචන හතර දුටු වේලේ පටන් ඔහුගේ නළලින් මතු වූ වේදනාව මුළු ශරීරය පුරා පැතිර යමින් ගුවන් ගමන පුරා ඔහුව නිරන්තරයෙන් පීඩාවට පත් කළේය. එහෙත් පිදුරු සුවඳ විහිදුණු කඳුකරයේ තමාගේ ගමටම ආවේණික වු ඒ සුවඳ, ඒ වේදනාව මඳින් මඳ ලිහිල් කළේය. මේ මගේ ගමයි. මගේ ගෙදර. මගේ අම්මා. ඔහුගේ හදවත උණුසුම් විය. මේ තණ බිමේ තණ අතර සැඟවී මහ පොළවේ සුවඳ විඳිමින් පෙරළී නිදන්නට බෂීර්ට අවශ්‍ය විය. තණ බිමේ කූඩු සාදන කුරුල්ලකු මෙන් ආරක්ෂිතව, තණ පත් අතරින් ගලා එන හිරු එළියේ සැතපෙමින්, සිසිල් වාතය උරා බොමින් සිටින්නට ඇත්නම් ෟ එසේ වූවා නම් සයිබීරියාවේ ඔහු උගත් පැරණි නගරය හෝ දැන් ගොඩනගන අලූත් නගරය නැත. දරුවන් නැත. ඉෂ්ට කරගැනීමට බලාපොරොත්තු නැත. මේ විදුලි පුවත ද නැත.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ඒ දිනවල, මේ තණබිමේ තණකොළ වැවී තිබුණේ ඔහුගේ හිස මට්ටමට මඳක් ඉහළින්ය. නිරුවත් දෙපා, ගල්වල උණුසුමත් සීතල දිය පහරේ සිසිලසත් විඳ ගත්තේය. තියුණු දෑකැති මුවහතින් අතේ ඇඟිල්ලක් කැපුණු විට එයින් ගැලූ ලේ දෙස ඔහු එදා බලා සිටියේ ආඩම්බරයෙනි. තුරු පත් පිස එන සිසිල් මඳ නල ඔහු වටා දැවටෙමින් හමා යද්දී එළදෙනුන්ගේ කෑ ගැසීම් හඩ මැද්දේ අලූත බිඳුණු බිත්තර වලින් පැමිණී කුරු පැටවුන්ගේ හඩට ඔහු කන් දුන්නේය. ඒ කුරුලූ ගීත ඔහුට කීවේ ,මගේ පැටියෝ කුරුල්ලෝ සින්දු කියනවා. කිකිළියෝ පැටවුන්ට කෑම දෙනව. වහු පැටවු සෙල්ලං කරනව,. අම්මාගේ ආදරණීය හඩයි. ,අම්මේ, හදවත වේදනාවෙන් කෑ ගසන්නට විය. ඉක්මනින් අම්මා ළඟට යන්නට, අම්මාගේ මුහුණ බලාගන්නට, අම්මාව බදා ගන්නට ඔහුට &amp;nbsp;ඕනෑ විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ඉක්මන් ගමනින් වංගු සහිත පාර බසිමින් ඔහු ඉදිරියටම ගියේය. කිසිවකු මගදී හමුවුයේ නැත. උසට තිබු තණකොළ කෙමෙන් කෙටි වෙමින් තිබුණේ හරකුන් සඳහා නිතර වල් කැපීම නිසාය. ගමට ආසන්න බව දක්වමින් එම තණකොළ පිටියේ හරක් දිගේලි කර සිටියහ. මේ අතරින් උසට තණකොළ පිටියේ හරක් දිගේලි කර සිටියහ. මේ අතරින් උසට තණකොළ වැවී තිබුණු ස්ථානයක් හදීසියේම බෂීර්ගේ නෙත ගැටුණේය. මේ ගමේ සුසාන භූමිය බව හඳුනා ගන්නට ඔහුට අපහසු වුයේ නැත. මියගියවුන්ගේ පව් තණකොළ විසින් සෝදා හරිනු ලබන අතර ජීවත් වන්නවුන්ගේ තොරතුරු මළවුන්ට ලබා දෙන්නේ ද තණකොළ යයි මේ කඳුකර වාසීහු විශ්වාස කළෝය. ඒ නිසාම ළමයින් එහි එක තණකොළ ගසක් හෝ ඇල්ලීමට ධෛර්ය සම්පන්න වුයේ නැත. සුසාන භුමිය පසුකරද්දී සොහොන් ගල් දෙස ක්ෂණික බැල්මක් හෙළු බෂීර් වහා ඉවත බලා ගත්තේ තව තවත් දික් අඩි තබමින් ගමන වේගවත් කර ගනිමිනි. යන්ත‍්‍රයක ශබ්දයකින් උඩ බැලූ බෂීර් දුටුවේ බාන්නට සූදානම් වූ ගුවන් යානයක් අහසේ රවුම් ගසන ආකාරයයි. එය මේ විදුලි පුවත ලැබීමට පෙර ඔහු දිනපතා ඇසූ දුටු දර්ශනයක් වීම නිසා එහි අමුත්තක් බෂීර්ට දැනුණේ නැත. සුසාන භූමිය පසුකරත්ම බෂීර්ගේ ඇස ගැටුනේ ගම්මානයයි. මොහොතකට නැවතුණු ඔහු වටපිට බැලූවේය. මට පාර වැරදිලාවත්ද? මේ ඔහුට පුරුදු ගම්මානය නොව වෙනත් ගම්මානයකි. වෙනදා තිබු මැටි ගෙවල්, පැතලි වහළවල්, මැටි කණු මත ගොඩ නැඟුණු වරන්ඩවාල් එහි නොවීය. ටකරන් වහළවල් මත උදා හිරු රැුස් වැටී දිළිසෙමින් තිබුණේය. කොළ පැහැයට හුරු වීදුරුවලින් බරාදයන් ආවරණය වී තිබුණේය. නුදුරු කඳු මුදුනේ රූපවාහිනී කුලූණ ගම්භීරව නැගී සිටින අන්දම දුටු ඔහුට, පෙරදා අම්මා ලියා එවා තිබු ගමේ වෙනස සිහිපත් විය. එදා ඔහු ඒවා එතරම් ගණන් ගත්තේ නැත. එහෙන් මෙහෙන් කම්බි ඇද වටකර තණකොළ වැවෙන්නට ඉඩ හැර තිබූ පැරණි සුසාන භූමිය නොවන්නට බෂීර් ආපසු හැරී යාමටද ඉඩ තිබුණි. ඔහු නැවත ගමන් ඇරඹීය. ගල් සහිත පටු පාර බැසගෙන ඉදිරියට යද්දී, යම් දෙයක් සම්බන්ධව කතාවේ යෙදී සිටී කාන්තාවෝ දෙතුන් දෙනෙක් අමුත්තකු එනවා දැක කතාව නතර කොට විමසිලිමත්ව ඔහු දෙස බලා සිටියෝය. බෂීර් ඔවුන් හඳුනා නොගත් අතර ඔවුන්ද බෂීර් හඳුනා ගත්තේ නැත. ඔහු දිගටම ගමන් කළේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,ගෙදර කොහේද?, ඔහු සිතන්නට, සොයන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ගලෙන් බඳින ලද කපරාරු නොකළ ගෙදරක් දක්නට නැත. පාර මැද නැවතී බෂීර් වට පිට බැලූවේ සම්පුර්ණයෙන්ම වික්ෂිප්තවය. පෙරදී ගමේ දක්නට ලැබුණු එකම හැඳුනුමක්වත් දක්නට නැත. පෙර ගමේ ගැහැණුන් වළං පිඟන් සේ¥ පාර මැදින් ගලා ගිය දිය පහරේ ලකුණක් හෝ නොවීය. මං මුළාවූවෙකු සේ පාර මැද නැවතී වට පිට බලමින් සිටියදී,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,කාවද ඔයා හොයන්නේ?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;පිටු පසින් ඇසුණු සිහින් සංගීතවත් හඩට බෂීර් හැරි බැලූවේය.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;හිස ඔසවා ඔහු දෙස බලා සිටියේ අවුරුදු පහක පමණ කුඩා කොලූවෙකි. ඔහුගේ පොකුටු හිසකෙස් පිටුපසට වැටී තිබුණි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ඒ පොකුටු හිසකෙස් මෙන්ම, පොකුටු වූ ලොම් සහිත කුඩා බැටලූ පැටයෙකුද කොලූවා අසල විය. කොලූවාගේ හිසකෙස් වලට වඩා බැටලූවාගේ ලොම්වල වෙනසකට වූයේ ඒවා සුදු වීමය. බෂීර් අපහසුතාවයකට පත් වූවේය. කෙසේ වෙතත් මේ කුඩා දරුවා හමුවීම හොඳය. ඔහු තමාව අවමානයට පත් නොකරනු ඇත.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අබ්දුල්ලාගේ ගෙදර කොහේද?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මෝලේ වැඩ කරන අබ්දුල්ලාගේ ගෙදරද?,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,නැහැ. නැහැ.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,එහෙනං අර පළතුරු වත්තේ වැඩ කරන අබ්දුල්ලාගේ ගෙදරද?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,නෑ එයත් නෙවෙයි.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මං වෙන කෙනෙක් දන්නේ නෑ.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,හොඳයි එහෙනං අර අමනාට්ගේ ගෙදර.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,ආ අමිනාට්ද?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;අමුත්තාට උදව් කරන්නට ලැබිමෙන් කොලූවාගේ හඩෙහි වූයේ සතුටකි. ,එන්න මාත් එක්ක මං පෙන්නංනං,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කොලූවා පෙරමුණ ගත්තේය. කීකරුව තමා සමඟ පෙළට ගමන් කරන බැටලූ පැටියා දෙස බලමින් ළමයා සෙමින් සෙමින් දුවන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;අමිනාට් පිළිබඳව දරුවා කිසිවක් කීවේ නැත. බෂීර්ගේ බලාපොරොත්තු නැග එන්නට විය. ඇය තවමත් ජිවතුන් අතරය. ළමයා මෙන්ම දුවන්නට බෂීර්ට උවමනා විය. ගේට්ටුවට පයින් ගසා ඇරගෙන ,අම්මේ අම්මෙ මං ආවා, යි &amp;nbsp;කෑ ගසා කියන්නට, අම්මාව පුදුම කරවන්නට, පුදුම වූ අම්මාව සිප වැළඳ ගන්නට බෂීර්ට උවමනා විය. අම්මා පිළිබඳ ආදරණීය හැඟුමෙන් හදවත උණුසුම් වෙද්දී දිීම නතර කළ කොලූවා, නිල් පාට තීනත ගාන ලද ගේට්ටුවක් අසල නැවතී ඇඟිල්ලක් දිගු කර නිවසක් පෙන්වීය. ගේට්ටුව තුළින් ඔහු දුටුවේ ගස් අතර වූ ටකරන් සෙවෙණි කරන ලද අලූතෙන් තීන්ත ගාන ලද නිවසකා. බෂීර් කළබල විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,ඔයාට වැරදිලා, මට &amp;nbsp;ඕන කරන්නෙ ඉස්කෝලෙ පිරිසිදු කරන අමිනාට්ගෙ ගෙදර,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,මේ ගෙදර තමයි,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කොලූවාගේ හඩෙහි වුයේ කණගාටුවකි. බෂීර් තුළ එක්වරම අනතුරක් දැණුනද, ඒ සමඟම තමා මෙයට ටික කලකට පෙර ඇයට විශ‍්‍රාම ගන්නා ලෙස ඉල්ලා සිටි බව සිහිපත් විය. මෙම හොඳින් නඩත්තු කළ ගෙය ඔහුට සැනසීමක් ගෙන දුන්නේය. සියල්ල හොඳින් පිළිවෙලකට තිබෙන මෙවැනි ගෙදරක ව්‍යසනයක් විය හැකිද? බෂීර් නැවත සතුටට පත්වීය. අමිනාට්ට කෙසේදැයි කොලූවාගෙන් අසන්නට සිතුනත් කවුදෝ තමන්ව ගේ දෙසට අදින්නාක් මෙන් ඔහුට හැඟිණි. නොඉවසිලිමත් සිතින් ඔහු ගෙය දෙසට ගියේ දුවමින් මෙනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ගෙයි පියස්ස යට ගැහැණු බොහෝ ගණනක් වූහ. ගේට්ටුවේ ,ක‍්‍රීක්, හඩින් හැරී බැලූ ඔවුහු ගේ දෙසට එන බෂීර් දෙසත් ගේ අසළටම පැමිණි බෂීර් දෙසත් නිහඩව බලා සිටියේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;අප‍්‍රාණික වෙමින් යන ගතින් සිතින් බෂීර් ගොලූ වී ඔවුන් දෙස බලා සිටිද්දී ඒ ගැඹුරු නිහඩතාවය බිඳිමින් කවුදෝ,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,බෂීර්,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;යනුවෙන් කෑගැසීය. ඒ සමඟම අසල සිටි හැමදෙන ඔහු වටා රැුස් වන්වට වූහ.ත බෂීර් තෝන්තුවෙන් බලා සිටියේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,පුතාව දකින්න, පුතා එනකං ඉන්න, අම්මට &amp;nbsp;ඕන උනා. ඒත් උඹව අනාථ කරල අම්ම යන්න ගියා.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කටහඩ කාගේදැයි ඔහු නොදත්තේය. ගැහැණුන්, මිනිසුන් ගහකොළ, ගෙදර සියල්ල කැරකෙමින් උඩ යන්නාක් මෙන් ඔහුට දැනෙන්නට විය. ඒ සමඟම තමාද සුළියකට අසුවී කැරකෙනු ඔහුට දැණින.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අම්මේ, යි ඇසුවන්ගේ හද කම්පා කරවමින් මහා හඩක් නඟාගෙන බිම ඇඳ වැටුණු බෂීර් විලාප නඟිමින් පොළොවේ හිස ගසා ගනිමින් වැළපෙන්නට විය. කිසිවකුත් ඔහු නවතන්නට උත්සාහ කළේ නැත. විලාපය සිහින් කෙඳිරියක් වන තුරු ඔහු බොහෝ වේලාවක් ඇඩුවේය. තවත් ටික වේලාවකට පසු බෂීර්ව නැගිටුවා ගත් කීප දෙනෙක් ඔහුව වත්තම් කරගෙන ගෙතුළට රැුගෙන ගියෝය. කාමරයේ සෝපාව මත හිඳගත් ඔහු අම්මා නැතිකමේ අනාථ බවින් පාලූවෙන් පෙළෙන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,හැම තිස්සෙම ඇය උඹේ ලියුං කියවමින් හිටියෙ.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;බෂීර් නිහඩව කන් දීගෙන සිටියේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අනේ ඔව්. එයා කොයි වෙලාෙ වත් ඒ ලියුං අත හැරියෙ නැහැ. අපි හැමෝටම ඒ ලියුං කියෙව්වා.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අපි උඹට ස්තුති කරනවා ඇයව සතුටින් තැබිම ගැන. උඹ වගේ පුතෙක් ලැබීම ඇගේ වාසනාවක්.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මුලදී බීෂර් සිතුවේ ඔවුන් තමාට ඇණුම් පද කියනවා කියාය. ඔහු අම්මාට ලිවුවේ කලාතුරකිනි. මුදල් එවනවා හැර යමක් ලියනවා නම් ලිවුවේ ඉතා කෙටියෙන් බව ඔහුට අමතක නැත. එහෙත් ඔවුන් එසේ කීවේ සැබෑවට බව තේරම් ගත් බෂීර් වේදනාවෙන් වේදනාවට පත් විය. තමාගේ ඥාතීන්ට අසල්වැසියන්ට තමා හොඳ පුතකු කරන්නට අම්මා බොරු කියා ඇත යන සිතිවිල්ලෙන් ඔහු කම්පා වන්නට විය. හදවතේ උපන් කඳුළු ඒ කම්පාවෙන් කම්පාවට පත් වී දෙනෙකිත් ගලා යන්නට වූයේ උල්පතකින් මෙනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ටික වේලාවකට පසු පියාගේ සහෝදරයා වූ මුස්තාපා බාප්පා තමාට හැකි පමණින් බෂීර්ව සනසවන්නට උත්සාහ කළේය. සෝපාව මත, තමා අසල වාඩිවී සිටින මුස්තාපා බාප්පා බොහෝ වයස්ගතව සිටිනු බෂීර් දුටුවේය. හිම මෙන් සුදු වූ කොණ්ඩයත්, එල්ලා වැටුණු ඇස් යටත් දුටු ඔහුට, තමා මුස්තාපා බාප්පා දුටුවේ කොපමණ කාලයකින් දැයි සිතුණේය. කුඩා කල තමා දැක පුරුදු නිකට යට කැළල එසේම විය. තරුණ වියේදී ඒ කැළල බාප්පාට කඩවසම් පෙනුමක් ගෙන දුන්නේ යයි කුඩා බෂීර් සිතුවේය. යුද්ධයේ දී සිදු වූ ඒ කැළල පිළිබඳව ඔහු කී කතාව නිසා බාප්පා ඔහුගේ යුධ වීරයකු විය. කණ්ණාඩිය ඉදිරියට ගොස් නිකට යට කොනිත්තා ගනිමින් එකල තමා ද කැළලක් ඇති කරගන්නට හැදුවා බෂීර්ට මතකය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,පුතේ තවත් අඩන්න එපා. දැන් හිත හදා ගනින්. උඹට කරන්න පුලූවන් හැම දෙයක්ම කළානේ,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;බාප්පා බෂීර්ට ආදරෙයෙන් පැවසුවේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,බලපන් වෙන පුත්තු අවුරුදු දහයකින්වත් අම්මට ලියුමක්වත් එවන්නෙ නැහැ. ඒත් උඹ සල්ලි එවන හැම වතාවෙම අම්මට ලියුමක් එව්වනෙ. අම්ම කොටි තරං සතුටෙන් ද එව්වා අපිට කියෙව්වෙ.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;බෂීර් නැවතත් මංමුලා විය. හැම කෙනෙක්ම කියන මේ ලියුම් මොනවාද? එහෙත් ඔහුට ඒ පිළිබඳව ඔවුනගෙන් ඇසිය නොහැක. නිහඩ වීම වඩාත් හොඳය. ඒ නිසා බෂීර් කිසිවක් නොකියා බාප්පාට කන් දුන්ණේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;හැඞීමෙන්, ගමන් වෙහෙසෙන්, කම්පාවෙන්, විඩාවට පත්ව සිටි බෂීර් නින්දට වැටුණේය. කිසිවෙකුත් ඔහුගේ නින්දට බාධා කළේ නැත.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;හිමිදිරි සීත සුළඟ ඇෙඟ් ගැටීමත් සමඟ ඔහු පිබිදුණේය. සැමටම පොදු තවත් දවසක් උදාවී ඇතත්, තමා පිවිසුනේ අම්මා නැති ලොවකටය යන දුක්ඛිත සිතුවිල්ල මොහොතකින් ඔහුගේ ගත සිත පුරා නැග එන්නට විය. අම්මා නැත. නැවත අම්මා එන්නේ නැත, දෙනෙත් පුරා කඳුලූ නැග එන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ගමෙන් පිට වූ බොහෝ පුතුන් මෙන්, ඔහු අම්මා දැක්කේ කලාතුරකිනි. තමාගේ සිතිවිලි සමඟ, තමාගේ වැඩ කටයුතු සමඟ හා තමාගේ ජිවිතය සමඟ ගිලූණු ඔහුට අම්මා පිළිබඳව සිතීමට බොහෝ කලකින් ඉඩක් ලැබුණේ නැත. පිරිසිදු වාතයෙන් පිරුණු කඳුකරයේ ගලෙන් බඳින ලද කුඩා නිවසේ අම්මා සිටින බව ඔහුගේ හැඟීම වී තිබිණ. ඔහුට ශක්තිය දුන්නේ වෙන කවුරුන්ද? ඒ හැඟීමමය. අම්මා ගමේ සිටිය යන හැඟීම ඔහුට ශක්තියක් විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;දැන් මා තනිවී ඇත. අම්මා නැති ලොවක තනිවී ඇත.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;වට පිට බැලූ ඔහු තමා නිදා සිටි විශාල කාමරය හඳුනා ගත්තේය. හිම වැටෙන ශීත සෘතුවේ සැදෑවල උදුන අල බිම ඔවුන් නිදා ගත් අන්දම ඔහුට සිහිපත් විය. පොළොවට අතුරා ඇති ලෑලි අලූත්ය. කවිච්චියට ඉහළින් ගෙදර වියන ලද පළසක් එල්ලා ඇත. ඔහු නැගි සෙමෙන් අනෙක් කාමරයට ඇතුල් වුයේ දොර අසළ වු විදුලි ස්විචය ඔබමිනි. බල්බයෙන් මතු වූ එළීයෙන් ඇස් එකවර නිලංකාර විය. බෙහෙත් සැරක් මුසුවු ඒ කාමරය කුඩා විය. ජනේලය තවමත් ඇරී ගමන්මය. ජනේලයට විරුද්ධ පසින් බිත්තිය අසළ උස් යකඩ ඇඳක් විය. අනෙක් පස බිත්තියේ ඇඳුම් එල්ලන බෝල කූඩුවක් රඳවා තිබිණ. මනාව සකස් කර තිබු ඇෙඳිහ ඉහ අද්දර කොට්ට කීපයක් එක මත එක පිළිවෙලකට තබා තිබුණි. ජනේලය අසල සිට සීත සුළං හමද්දී ඇය නිදන්නට එන්නට ඇත්තේ මෙතැනටය. ඇඳ අසල වු මේසය මත කුඩා පෙට්ටියක් විය. ඔහු එය හඳුනා ගත්තේය. කුඩා කලදී ඔහුට එය මැජික් පෙට්ටියකි. යතුර සොයාගෙන පෙට්ටියේ පියන අරින ඔහු ඒ තුළ තිබෙන දේ දැක ඉස්පාසුවක් නැතිව සියල්ල මේසය මත හළා ගනී. වෛවර්ණ පබළු ඇට, බොත්තම්, බොත්තම් කෑලි, මේසය මත විසිරි ඇති විට, සීත සෘතුවේ දුර්වල හිරු රැුස් ජනේලය තුළින් ගලා විත් ඒ මත වැටී දිදුලූ අන්දම ඔහුට සිහිපත් විය. එදා ඔහුට ඒවා ඇලඩින්ගේ ගුහාවෙන් ලැබුණු ධනය සිහි ගැන්වීය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මෙසේ දැන්, යළිත් වරක් කුඩා වියෙහිදි මෙන් හුස්ම උඩට ඇදගත් වනම ඔහු යතුරු සිදුරට යතුර දමා පියන විවෘත කළේය. එහෙත් එදා මෙන් පබල, මුතු, බොත්තම් කිසිවක් එතුළ නොවීය. ඒ වෙනුවට වුයේ ඉලාස්ටික් පටියකින් බඳින ලද ලියුම් කවර මිටියකි. කණගාටුවෙන් මොහොතක් ඒ දෙස බලා සිට පියන වැසීමට සූදානම් වෙද්දී ලියුම් කවරයකු වු ලිපිනය ඔහුගේ නෙත ගැටුණේය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,කවුද අම්මට ලියුම් එව්වෙ? හැම කෙනෙක්ම කියන අභිරහස් ලියුම්ද මේ?,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කුතුහලයෙන් යුක්තව මිටියෙන් එක ලියුම් කවරයක් ඇඳගත් බෂීර් එය විවෘත කළ විට දුටුවේ ඔහු විසින්ම පුරවා එවන ලද මුදල් ඇණවුමක ඉතිරි කොටස හා ලියුමකි. මුදල් ඇණවුමේ අකුරු තමාගේම වූවත් ලියුම?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මගේම ආදර අම්මේ,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;එන්න බැරි උනාට සමාවෙන්න. මේ දවස්වල මට වැඩ අධිකි. ඒ නිසයි අම්මා බලන්න එන්න බැරි උනේ. ඒත් නිතරම අම්මත් ගමත් සිහිවෙනව. මතකද අම්මෙ එක හවසක අපේ එළදෙන රංචුවත් එක්ක ආපහු ආවෙ නැති දවස? එදා අපි දෙන්නම ඌ හොයන්න ගියා. අපි හැම තැනකම හැම ගුහාවකම ඌව හෙව්වා. ඒත් අපිට ඌව හම්බ උනේ නෑ. මට

අකුරෙනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අම්මේ ඇයි අම්මෙ හැම දෙයක්ම ලිව්වේ නැත්තෙ? අම්මට මතකද එදා අම්ම අලූත් එළදෙන අරගෙන ගෙදර ආපු හැටි. ඒ එළදෙන උගේ කලින් ස්වාමියා ළඟට යන්න ගත්ත උත්සාහය හින්ද අහ්මට ඌත් එක්ක ලොකු සටහනක් කරන්න වෙලා තිබුන ඌව ගේන්න. අම්මවත් ඇඳගෙන ආපහු දුවන හැම වාරයකම අම්මගේ කකුල් ගල්වල හැපිල සීරිල ලේ

අම්ම කිරි දොවන තැනට වෙලා බලාගෙන හිටිය. පෙණ දමන උණු කිරි වලින් මගේ ජෝගුව පුරවපු හැටි මතද? හැමදාමත් හොඳම දේ මට දී ඔබ නරක ම දේ ගත්තේ ඇයි අම්මේ? ඒ දේ ඒ විදියම ලිවුවෙ නැත්තේ ඇයි අම්මෙ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;නොඉවසිලිමත් වු බෂීර් තවත් ලියුමක් විවර කළේ දැවෙන හදිනි. එහි වුයේද අම්මාගේ ළමා

බලන්න එන්න බැරි විම ගැන සමාවෙන්න. අම්මේ මේ දවස්වල මට වැඩ අධිකයි. අපි අලූත් නගරයක් ගොඩ නඟනවා. අම්මට මතක ඇති මං පොඩි දවස්වල අම්ම නිතරම මට කිව්ව ,මගෙ පුතා තාත්තගේ මිටියයි මේසන් හැන්දටයි මලකඩ කන්න දෙන්න

ළමා පුරෝගාමීන්ගේ කණ්ඩායමට ඇතුල් උනා. අම්මට මතකද මම එකතු වූ දවස? අම්ම කොහොමද මාව සුදානම් කළේ. ඒ යුද්දෙ පළවෙනි අවුරුද්ද. රතු රෙද්දක් කොහේවත් හොයාගන්න බැරි උනා. අපි නගරය පුරාම හැතැක්ම ගණනක් ඇවිද්දා. ඒත් කොහේවත් හොයාගන්න බැරි උනා. එයිට පස්සෙ ගෙදර ඇවිල්ල, අමම අපේ ලොකු ඇඳුම් දමන පෙට්ටිය ඇරල අම්මට තිබුණු හොඳම රතු ඇඳුම එළියට අරගෙන ඒක කැපුවා. අම්මා ඒක ඇඳල තිබුණෙ එකම එක වතාවයි. කන්දෙ ඉඳල ගමට පයිප්ප වතුර

ලිපියෙන් ලිපිය අදිද්දී මුදල් ඇණවුමේ ඉතිරි කොටස සමඟ ලියුමක් ද විය. එහෙත් ඔහු අම්මාට දිගු ලිපි ලිව්නේ නැත. බොහෝ විට ඔහු ලියා එව්වේ ,අ්මමේ මේ සමඟ මුදල් එවා ඇත. - ඔබේ පුතා බෂීර්, යනුවෙනි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;මව තුළ ඔහු කෙරෙහි වු මෘදු ආදරයත් සමඟ එම ලිපි තුළින් මතු වූ සියුම් අවලාද නැඟීම් ඔහුට තේරුමක් ගත හැකි විය. ඒවා දක්වා තිබු මුදු මොළොක් බව ඔහුගේ වේදනාව තීව‍්‍ර කළේය. එපමණක් ද නොව තම පුතු කෙරෙහි අන් අය තුළ අගෞරවයක්, ආදරයක් ඇති කිරිමට අම්මා අම්මාට ලියා ගත් ලිපි අසල්වාසීන්ට ඥාතීන්ට නිතර කියවන්නට ඇති බව බෂීර්ට හැඟී ගියේය. ඉතා කාර්ය බහුල බැවින් ඔබ ඔබේ සිතින් මා නිර්දෝෂ කරන්නට ඇත. යම් හෙයකින් මා ඔබට ලිය්නනේ නම් මෙසේ ලියනු ඇතැයි ඔබ සිතන්නට ද ඇත. බෂීර් එසේ තනිව හිතමින් අනෙක් ලියුම් ද කියවන්නට විය.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;අවසාන ලිපිය ඔහු විවෘත කළේය. දිගම ලිපිය වුයේ එයයි.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

අම්මට මාව තේරුම් ගන්න පුළුවන් වෙයි. අම්මා තෝරාගත් ගමේ මනමාලියව මං ප‍්‍රතික්ෂේප කළේ අම්මා කෙරෙහි හෝ මගේ කඳුකර ගම කෙරෙහි හෝ ගරු සරු නැතිකම නිසා නෙවෙයි. මෙහි සිටින සයිබීරියානු තරුණියක හා මම පෙමින් බැඳුණා. ඔබත් ඇයට ආදරය කරනවා නේද අම්මෙ? ඇය ඉතා ගුණවත් ආදරණීය කෙනෙක්. අපේ කඳුකරයේ තණ බිමක් වගේම ඇයත් විවෘතයි. පේ‍්‍රමය මොකක්ද කියල මට දැනුණේ දැනුයි ඒ සතුට ප‍්‍රීතිය ඔබට ලබා දීම මං වැළැක්කුවා. ඒ ගැන මතක් වෙද්දී මට දැන්නේ කියා නිම කළ නොහැකි දුකක් හා පසුතැවිල්ලක්. මං මේ කියන්නේ සාදික් ගැනයි. ඔහු අපේ ගෙදර ඇවිත් පුටු ආදිය අලූත්වැඩියා කළා. නිතර පැමිණී ඔහු කෙරෙහිඔබ අවධානයෙන් ඉන්නවා දැකල මං ඔහුට ඊර්ෂ්‍යා කළා. මං දවසක් ඔහුටත් ඔබටත් නපුරු විදිහට කතා කරල ගෙදරින් පිට උනා. මං ඒ ගැන දැන් කොයිතරම් කණගාටු වෙනවද? සමහරවිට මට සහෝදරයෙක් හෝ සහෝදරියක් හිටිය නම් ඔයට ඔය තරම් කණගාටුවක් දැනෙන්නේ නැති වෙයි. එයින් පසු මම සාදික් දැක්කෙ නැහැ. මට ආරංචි උනා ඔහු විවාහ උනවාය කියල. &amp;nbsp;ඔබ එක්වරම මහලූ උනා වගේ පෙණුනා. එත් අම්මෙ මම එදා ඒක ඒ තරම් සැලකිල්ට ගත්තෙ නෑ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;අම්මට මතකද මං පොඩි කාලෙ අම්ම මගෙ ඔලූව අත ගාල කියනව ,ලොකු උනහම මගේ පුතා ශක්තිමත් නිර්භීත කෙනෙක් වෙයි. එතකොට ලස්සනම ගෑණු ළමයෙක් ඔයාට ආදරය කරයි. එයා සුරිය කදම්බයක් වගේ ඇවිත් අපේ ගේ ආලෝක කරයි. උදුන වගේ උණුසුම් කරයි., කියල. ඒ වගේම කිව්ව ,වසන්තයේ තණ බිම් වල පිපුණු මල් වගේ ලස්සන සලූවක් මගේ ලේලි මට තෑගි කරයි. එතකොට මං මගේ වැන්දඹු කළු සලූව ඉවත් කරනවා. මිනිස්සු හැම කෙනෙක්ම එදාට මට සතුට ප‍්‍රකාශ කරයි., කියල. මගේ ආදර අම්මෙ. ඔබේ ලේලිය ඔබට තෑගි කරන මල් වැටුණු සළුව මේ සමඟ එවනවා. වැන්දඹු කළු සලූව ඉවත් කරන්න. මගේ අම්මා කළු සලූව පැළඳුවා දැන් ඇති.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt;			&lt;/span&gt;මේ ඔබේ සදාදර පුතා&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

සිය ලේන්සුව නාසයට තබමින් නාසය පිරිසිදු කළේ හුස්ම ගැනීමට අපහසමු වනතෙක් නාසය හිරවූ නිසාය. මේ ලියුම කෙතරම් නිවැරදි විය යුතුද?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;,අම්මේ ඔබට සියල්ල අමතකද? ඔබ මගේ විවාහය පිළිබඳව දැන ගත්තේ විවාහ වී අවුරුදු දෙකකුත් ගතවූ පසුයි. ඔබ කොතෙක් නම් අපට ගමට ඇවිත් යන ලෙස ආයාචනා කළාද? අපි නිවාඩු කාලයන් ක‍්‍රිමියාවල, කොකේසස්වල, බල්ගේරියාවල ගත කළෙමු. එපමණක් නොව බෝල්ටක් සහ කාපේතියන් වල සංචාරය කළෙමු. ඒත් එකම නිවාඩුවකට හෝ ඔබ ළඟට එන්නට අපි උත්සාහ කළේ නෑ. ඒත් එක් දවසක මං කුඩා කලදි ප‍්‍රිය කළ බොහෝ කැවිලි පෙවිලි වේවැල් මලූවල පුරවා ගෙන ඔබ අප බලන්නට පැමිණියා. කළු සලූව ඉවත දමා ලස්සන මල් මල් සලූවක් ඔබ එදා පැළඳගෙන සිටියා. ඔබේ රුසියානු ලේලිය ඔබට තෑගි කළා යයි ඔබ පෙන්වන්නට ඇත්තේ ඒ සලූවද? මතකද අම්මේ නගරය පෙන්වන්නට මම ඔබ සමඟ එදා ඇවිද්දා. කුඩා වූවත් සෘජුව, ඔබ මෙලොවට බිහිකල ඔබ මෙන් දෙගුණයක උස් වු ඔබේ පුතා සමඟ ඔබ ගමන් කළා. අප ගොඩනැඟු ගොඩනැගිලි නරඹමින් නිහඩ ආඩම්බරයකින් නගරය පුරා ඇවිද්දා. එහෙත් එකම එක අවස්ථාවක හෝ එකම අවලාද වචනයක් හෝ ඔබේ මුවින් පිට වුයේ නැහැ ...,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;බාප්පා

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;කියමින් එය බෂීර් අත තැබීය. සැලෙන අතින් බාප්පා දුන් කුඩා පෙට්ටිය ඒ මේ අත පෙරළා බලා විවෘත කළ විට ඔහු දුටුවේ ඒ තුළවු රෝස පැහැති ගලක් අල්ලන ලද රන් මුදුවක් සහ රන් කරාබු ජෝඩුවකි. දෙනෙතින් ගලා ගිය කඳුළු ඒ මත වැටුණේ බෂීර් ද නොදැනුවත්මය. පෙට්ටිය ළයට තුරුලූ කරගත් බෂීර් කුඩා දරුවෙකු මෙන් හඩද්දී බාප්පා කාමරයෙන් ඉවත් වුයේ කඳුළු

style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved

the government as "substandard."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sugar cost four

month,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:

tea hadn't been invented yet.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Two out of every 10

school.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;at the local corner drugstores.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the

Last year i was an official at the match, i was in-charge of the video coverage representing the media unit of royal college with my colleagues. this year i was just a normal spectator, as normal as it was, just a spectator. me and my crew  were supposed to cover the match this year as well, but we were unable to do it because a new channel namely CSN got the broadcasting rights. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i thought the match would be boring as ever so i actually considered not to go, but at the end i just did. i spent the first half of the first day in the boys tent with all my friends and with the papare. for lunch i went to queens cafe with some of my friends and we played some pool and we had 9 submarines. after lunch i decided to go to another tent, the seylan pavilion. that was a different  experience because the fun involved in it was quite manly. there were a few fights between the drunken old boys and i joined in as well. there was a dull papare with us which we denied to enjoy though we did. and we also met an old boy who was working in the air force, he gave us a big lecture about college, and then he told he was boasting about his life in college and how he enjoyed the match as a student. and when the days play was over we were allowed to go to the ground where yet another fight took place, but this time between a thora and one of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on the second day i didn't go to the boys tent but instead i went to the royal taverners', ssc up and otsc. i didnt enjoy the second day as much as the first day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on the third day i went to seylan again and stayed till lunch, for lucnh i had some hot dogs and i went to the boys tent where the excitement was quite high. everyone was cheering for college so i joined them and sang along. the papre was franatic, they were playing non stop at the end of the match and everyone gathered around it and danced their way through the rest of the match. royal didnt win this time, instead it ended up being drawn as everyone predicted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;though this was a different experience for me i still enjoyed it. but next time i hope to cover the match because thats what i do best. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FLOREAT!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

a club dedicated to media which is just the thing that I have been looking for. My first major task at MURC was to webcast and to organize the launch of the 175th anniversary of Royal College press conference together with Birendre Jayatileke. Afterwards we had to cover the Religious Celebrations for the 175th anniversary. By this time I had already met a lot of&amp;nbsp;interesting&amp;nbsp;personalities and powerful figures. The next major event was the 131st Battle of The Blues commonly known as The Big Match. It was a cricket match played between Royal College and St.Thomas's College. We at MURC had to cover the Big Match, and I got a leading role at it. While all this was happening I was living a very shaded life at my class. My class teacher was Mr.Midipolawatte, he was a very&amp;nbsp;humorous&amp;nbsp;but a very serious&amp;nbsp;character. My class was 10E, but for the whole of the first term I was not in it, in the first period I used to come to the class and excuse myself and then I left saying&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;I had work which was very true. But the worst part about the first term and probably the whole of 2010 was that I completely ignored my studies. I was heavily involved in MURC projects that I hardly any time at all to study. Even if I did manage to find some time I couldn't study because I was always distracted. The first term ended with success and failure alike. I was determined to perform better next term for what it's worth in my studies and in all my other extra curricular activities as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The second term was yet another chapter in my life where I met some vivid people and I&amp;nbsp;gained&amp;nbsp;a lot of experiences. I was determined to balance everything this time. The highlight of this term was the Rugby Season. My job was to webcast the whole season on the MURC blog. So that's exactly what I did. Me and my crew went through a lot of trouble whilst gaining a lot of positive experiences. We went to every single rugby game played against Royal College; even to Kandy. The other big thing about this term was the English drama that we did for a inter-house drama festival. I got the less fortunate job of directing it. The drama came out just fine, we performed it on stage without any visible flaws. I did relatively well at my second term exams but I was still not satisfied with it. I was determined to do better next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was quite busy on the third term because I suddenly&amp;nbsp;realised&amp;nbsp;that I had to study everything that 'we' (which excludes myself very often) learnt on 2010. It was a struggle not only to me but for others as well, so panic was to be seen everywhere. Despite all those hardships I managed to face my exam&amp;nbsp;valiantly&amp;nbsp;and I also managed to get some good marks for a change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011 is going to be a tough year for me because I will be facing like many people say "the first big&amp;nbsp;hurdle&amp;nbsp;of my life"; the Ordinary Level Exam which is pretty advanced despite the name. I will have to stop all co-curricular&amp;nbsp;activities&amp;nbsp;for that year and I would have to focus on my studies more often. As far as I know 2011 is going to be a very hard and enduring year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2F2010-new-beginning.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" style="border: none;

(Part II)</title><content type='html'>Back in&amp;nbsp;February this year i posted my very first 'real' blog post namely '&lt;a href="http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/02/hi-internet.html"&gt;Hi Internet!!&lt;/a&gt;', it has been eleven months since that day. On that post i focused on my introduction to the internet and my life being a journalist (the media unit part). Well, this is like a follow up of that post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It has been an year since I 'actually' joined the the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://murc.tk/"&gt;media unit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I have accomplished a lot. All of my plans for 2010 ended up as a success, I achieved a lot, now I actually have a name for my self and I've so far been able to be a positive influence to many. I managed to enter the top board of MURC and I know all most all of the senior staff of my school; Royal College. I also have a very steady bond with the prefects council and many of the students as well. People call me the 'Video Man' or the 'Media Guy' and all most everybody respects me for who I am and in return I respect them without bragging about my success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After joining MURC my capacity of work increased dramatically. I am able to handle very serious and large events, functions etc. I also gained experience being a&amp;nbsp;cinematographer&amp;nbsp;and an video&amp;nbsp;editor, i also developed my ability to compeer all thanks to Birendre Jayatileke, the very person responsible for my fame and success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I manage not to brag about my success, and I intend to&amp;nbsp;work hard&amp;nbsp;no matter how confident I am because I&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;that people could be blinded by their own success that they oversee even the simplest of tasks. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I would like to thank, &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All the fellows at MURC&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The Prefects Council of RC&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Teachers and Staff at RC&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;and most importantly friends and family&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;for making this year a success for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;FLOREAT!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Ffollow-up-of-hi-internet-part-ii.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" style="border: none; height: 80px; overflow: hidden; width: 450px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="none" data-via="MinuraJPerera" href="http://twitter.com/share"&gt;Tweet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-3622786943959540454?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/3622786943959540454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/12/follow-up-of-hi-internet-part-ii.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/3622786943959540454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/3622786943959540454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/12/follow-up-of-hi-internet-part-ii.html' title='Follow up of Hi Internet!!

This time we didn't go for any parties nor any dinners. Christmas night was also very normal for us, we had kottu instead of the traditional Christmas dinner. We put up a Christmas tree but no one was bothered to light it up. We didn't receive any Christmas greetings though we greeted some. And it was the same all around, this year Christmas was very low all over Sri Lanka. Very few people considered it to be joyous and merry. In short everyone just lost their Christmas spirit. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But there has to be a reason for all this. And there is. The cost of living in Sri Lanka has increased dramatically. The most famous example for it is the price&amp;nbsp;of single coconut which increased from Rs.12 to Rs.60 in five years. Poverty is being&amp;nbsp;spread&amp;nbsp;across the country, very few people are able to live a normal life. Sri Lanka is economically falling. Ans someone should do something about it or we'll never be able to enjoy another Christmas again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fchristmas-2010.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none;

Thats what i have done in this post. This is my first mobile blog entry.   All you need is a mobile which supports internet and a little bit of a know-how on blogging. You may think that typing everything on the mobile is hard, but its actually easier and a little bit more practical under certain circumstances. I use the T9 typing feature found in mobiles. Its very convenient and "mobile".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" style="border: none;

facing this exam was one of the hardest challenges that i have ever come across.. normally, i do well in exams, i have no problem facing them.. but his one was different, totally different, i was completely unprepared…. i was too obsessed with other stuff such as media work and all.. the good thing was that i learnt something out of MURC, but the bad thing is that all of it was official, that meant i had a lot of powers officially… that meant no one could stop me, not even me because i couldn't go against it… even if i could i never tried cause i like work for MURC.. and the worst part about this exam is that lots of people were expecting stuff out of me, normally the results of your first term exams are like the first impression, that a person has about your studies and knowledge, and mine got completely blown off… so I'll have to work harder if i want to impress all the people who think I'm a dumb old hillbilly… i completely forgot that the primary reason of schooling is to educate yourself, i was completely out of the mood of studying, when i sit down with a book, i feel very guilty for what i have done.. i have to somehow score better next time cause i know that their are people who count on me… in order to succeed i need all the luck and blessings that i could get, so if you think that i deserve a second chance, please wish me success…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" style="border: none;

IT WAS FINALLY OVER!! and from their onwards, the only thing we cared was on having fun, and we did so…. we ran around SSC, acting like idiots, we knew that people didn't like it, but we didn't care, we were too exhausted to care, all we needed was to get rid of all those stress which was built up over the past few days… and FUN was the best medicine for that.. it was awesome…. i wont be saying on how we had fun because that’s a bit private, but i can assure you is that it was not as bad as you think, at least not as bad as getting a life sentence in jail.. &lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/S6UM9TgQsWI/AAAAAAAAAB8/lfM-Qa3xSOE/s1600-h/PICT0056%5B9%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="PICT0056" border="0" height="331" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/S6UM_A8nJnI/AAAAAAAAACA/iGFajwj-n88/PICT0056_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-color: initial;

SRI LANKA!! they destroyed our heritage, our culture, our national treasures!! india is a large country, its extremely huge! with a f*ck load of resources, even so those buggers invaded our small country.. it does not make any sense at all... another thing that i have noticed about indians is that they are quite greedy... they &amp;nbsp;f*cking took everything from us and left us with nothing!! and that sucks!!! and those buggers are damn &amp;nbsp;proud of it!!

IM JUST HAVING FUN!! people say that life is short, and what the fu*k? I AGREE!! it is short!! thats why i want to have fun.. its okay to have fun as long as you don't hurt anyone else, or do something bad... lots of people do not agree with this.. they work their as*'s off &amp;nbsp;and at the end they get nothing... nothing in the sense, they dont get any mental&amp;nbsp;satisfaction, either they pile up a fu*k load of money and die with it, or they die with nothin at all.. and whats the fun in that? im not saying that we should not work, im just saying that we have to enjoy what we do.. once in a while we have to do something stupid, funny so that we could have a good laugh.. that makes our lives a hundred times better... in school, lots of people respect me.. because i am a considered to be a good person, im cool with everybody, and everybody is cool with me, i can control my temper properly and all... and all of them like me because i have fun, and they also have fun when they are hanging around with me.. so having fun is a way of being a socially accepted person... another reason why i act in this insane way is because it brings down my stress levels... so im always ready for anything... i dont think of life as a challenge... i dont take everything seriously... i dont mind whether people think that i am insane or not.. i just dont care.. this is my life.. i follow my methods.. and i am very&amp;nbsp;successful&amp;nbsp;compared to all the other buggers of my age... no one can say anything about it... its not illegal to have fun, and i dont have fun by doing illegal stuff... im a legitimate guy... i follow the rules... no matter what anyone would say i will not stop having fun... i always have my limits, i know when to stop, so i wont get into trouble... even if i do get into trouble, i wont stop.... so please don't tell me to stop..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-8994224037345134750?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/8994224037345134750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/03/yourll-call-it-insanity-i-call-it-fun.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/8994224037345134750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/8994224037345134750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/03/yourll-call-it-insanity-i-call-it-fun.html' title='YOUR&apos;LL  CALL IT INSANITY, I CALL IT FUN'/><author><name>EmjaydeNaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01308430977771531383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/SucGOFacuqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mgNFwjGdCCE/S220/PICT0132.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/S45p61JKKaI/AAAAAAAAABA/Nu7xKIWFtgA/s72-c/PICT0031.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389051282813196918.post-907705127372536591</id><published>2010-03-03T18:21:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-12-24T14:56:03.208+05:30</updated><title type='text'>I LIE A LOT!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;YES!!

I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!! this is my friggin life!! &amp;nbsp;let me live, the way i want to live.. now you may be wondering&amp;nbsp;whether&amp;nbsp;i have ever lied to you.. most probably the answer will be yes.. so, if u think that i have lied to you, I AM SORRY!! i must have lied to you because of something really important... and sometimes, i save people by lying.. my friends ask whether they could come with me when i go for school work.. i always lie to them, for their own safety, i wont mind if they come with me, as a matter of fact, i would be happy if they come with me... but the thing is, they dont know how to get through all of those hurdles; the prefects, teachers, minor staff, etc.. so they will get into trouble.. then i would not be able to save them because i am always excused from the class, so i have to continue with my job... so in one way, my lying actually helps people... though i lie, i do not want u to lie to me.. i know that it will never happen.... i accept that lying is a bad thing... but i have to do it.. survival is more important...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;-ABRUPT ENDING-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8389051282813196918-907705127372536591?l=emjayperera.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/feeds/907705127372536591/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-lie-lot.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/907705127372536591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8389051282813196918/posts/default/907705127372536591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emjayperera.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-lie-lot.html' title='I LIE A LOT!!'/><author><name>EmjaydeNaNa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01308430977771531383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Od_gSIGzmbE/SucGOFacuqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mgNFwjGdCCE/S220/PICT0132.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389051282813196918.post-8280630181375631262</id><published>2010-03-01T21:42:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2010-12-24T14:56:11.136+05:30</updated><title type='text'>The Truth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;the truth is something that everyone would like to or want to or need to know.. some people are even willing to risk their lives, just to get the truth... in every story there are two sides; the true one and the false one.. very rarely people get to know the true side.. even in my life, it is the same.. but one thing is certain, no one really knows the truth about me.. no one at all.. my parents, my relations,&amp;nbsp;best friends, friends, associates , etc looks at me in different ways.. some people think that i'm good, kind, honest, loving whilst others think that i am a bad, evil, filthy brat... i hang out with different people, so no one really knows what i am up to, who my real friends are, what i do, my targets.. no one knows the full story, they only know parts of it.. at sometimes i feel sorry for my victims, but i just cant help it... I'M EVIL!! i'm a monster in disguise.. no one can prove it, and if anyone tries, may god be with them.. when your reading this you might be thinking what i have done to you.. don't worry, i have done&amp;nbsp;nothing&amp;nbsp;serious to you.. i have used you to the maximum, that is all.... but please do not come to me and ask about this, if you do, i will have to unleash the monster who is concealed within this human&amp;nbsp;body.. it will be&amp;nbsp;frightening, horrifying and deadly.. &amp;nbsp;NO I WONT KILL YOU!! i'll just do something bad to you.. but u'll regret it in the end... you may think that there is no point in what i'm doing.. true.. there is no point in it at all.. theres no point on living, your just gonnna die at the end.. i'm also going to die.. i want to achieve something before i die.. i dont want to be a victim of this present lifestyle.. i want to do stuff the way i want to do it, that is why i act in secrecy.. that is the soul reason why i am concealing the truth from you.. now you might think that writing this will reveal to the world, that i am hiding the truth.. NO! it doesn't work that way, people who associate with me knows this.. i did not tell them, they found out by observing me.. this is just a note of confirmation.. practically, this is a warning.. even this is a part of my master plan to success.. and i know it will work.. i think about my actions thoroughly before i actually act.. so dear reader, i am sorry that yor have been one of my victims.. but at the end you will see what i'm really working on.. maybe in about abother 30 years or so.. I AM INSANE!! i accept.. but i have a friggin load of common sense in me......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none;

internet is an&amp;nbsp;extraordinary&amp;nbsp;place to hang out.... i love it.... though i am physically alone in a room in front of a monitor, my mind could be anywhere i want it to be.. its amazing.. i started using the net when i wz in grade 3, in 2003, i was about 7 or 8 yrs old.. at first i was really scared, because my father&amp;nbsp;taught&amp;nbsp;me about viruses which could come from the&amp;nbsp;internet.. i was&amp;nbsp;really&amp;nbsp;cautious when i wz surfing.. i only visited a few pages; yahoo for email; miniclip for games; and google for other stuff.. non of my friends knew or had internet, when i talk about it at school, my frnds look at me in a&amp;nbsp;peculiar yet interested way, i liked it, i was exploring the whole world from my room... but the internet was not much of an use for till i reached grade 6.. my 'environmental studies' (env) teacher was a techno geek... there were about 12 units in the syllabus dat year... i made documentaries on all of those units and showed it to him, he was quite interested in me...by that time, the fear that i had towards the internet had completely vanished...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;i understood how it works.. i took use of it.. i ruled it... i started taking online&amp;nbsp;tutorials&amp;nbsp;on different applications such as photoshop, python etc... i also started to learn programming.. it was hard, but i figured out that i might need it in the future, i realied how important that is... my first social networking site was hi5.. i had a friend named hasara wijegunawardena, he was my techno partner... we worked on several projects such as websites and all.. it was fun and educational... we learned like hell.. from hi5, i switched to myspace in 2007, it looked professional... but still i only had hasara as a friend over the net.. my other frnds were not interested in social networking, they emailed me quite regularly, but it was not as fun and interacting as myspace.. then in 2008 i joined da ultimate social networking site, FACEBOOK... it was like paradise for me.. it had a very simple layout, it was not as complicated as myspace.. it was easy.. and most of my friends joined it.. &amp;nbsp;at the same time i developed a small liking towards videography, so i joined youtube, i edited random videos and uploaded them.. i had a fairly large audience too... then i created a group called &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;HGS&lt;/span&gt;, i strtd it with hasara, thn some of my friends from school joined it.. together we created a website for it.. the group focused on many different areas... it was a weird group, we did weird stuff... somehow all of us lost interest of it.... actually, we didn't have enough time to maintain it because of our studies... in 2009 i changed my facebook name to Emjay de NaNa hoping that people &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;WONT&lt;/span&gt; identify me, but instead i got popular, mainly because i was appointed as an admin of a very large group on facebook, and because i administrated quite a lot of other popular groups too.. people wondered who emjay de nana was? from where did he come from? n all.. then they go through my photos and&amp;nbsp;realize&amp;nbsp;that its minura... then they come to my class and say "machan umba mara popular dial ekak neda?" &amp;nbsp;and sometimes random people whom i dont know at all come up to me and say "hi emjay!" and i'm like hi dude, since i&amp;nbsp;cant&amp;nbsp;think of&amp;nbsp;anything&amp;nbsp;else to say because i don't know the bugger... it was weird.. i got popular by the day... then in 2010 i joined the media unit.. our chairman, birendre jayathileke gave me a HDV 1080p video camera to cover all the main events of my school ; Royal College.. i was honoured to do it.. i was dedicated like hell... then i got popular as the camera man, and people learned that emjay de nana and the camera man were the same people.. my popularity was steadily increasing... god knws what will happen next..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Femjayperera.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fblog-post_24.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;font=lucida+grande&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" style="border: none;
