𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒍 ( දුක් ගන්නා රාළ )

The room smelt different  Was it the burning camphor or The oil soaked wick  Dancing in the wind. The windows were left wide open  The morning breeze Trying to snuff and conquer  The naked flame of the oil lamp. The House was lit up  Too bright and Too crowded  For that times of the day. The faint sobbing  Ebbing from some corner Hurried steps down the corridors  Speaking only in Hushed voices Added more uneasiness to the air  Then. She looked calm and blissful  Sleeping pretty and relieved I knew instantly  She would never to come back again to us ever But why I had no tears to shed then.

Eshani Danushika ( ඊශානි දනුශිකා ) was expecting good results in the 2013 Grade 5 scholarship examination. Even her teachers were expecting her to do well. But when the results were announced recently, she and her teachers’ hopes were dashed as she fell just a few marks below the qualifying mark for the district. But a few of her classmates have managed to secure above the qualifying marks. She was not heartbroken because of her marks but she was happy as some of her friends did well in the examination. Now comes the interesting part of the story. She broke open her Clay Till next day and bought Gifts (Pens, Books etc) for the friends from that money and gave them to the Class Teacher to be distributed to her friends who were successful in the examination. That small gesture made everybody stopped and look at the incident. The school hurriedly organized a Prize Distribution ceremony to honour the successful children. She is just 10 years and comes from a not so afflue...

Every street corner has now been turned into a place of worship by some object worshiping idiots by placing some objects of their fancy. The Next thing you realize is the blaring noise coming from there day and night disturbing the peace around and polluting with singing, chanting and preaching etc. Then what follow is more encroachments and useless expenditure on face-lifting decorations. The whole country is now being turned into a religious frenzy den. But the euphoria of the ostentation is short-lived when you switch on your Television News Channels. Robbing, muggings, raping and killings are galore.  Where have those teaching gone into, I wonder ?

I was thinking; Are we all naked here now? After what Snowden revealed, I think we are no longer clad any more. Look, I have nothing to hide but everybody needs a bit of privacy. To put it in another way, a safe place to kill the devil within us without the glare of rest of the world. That brought me to think: Where is this guy anyway? Still in Russia or already somewhere else Laughing at those who clamber on the flight, presumably thinking that he would be on it and waiting at the seat 17A. I think Aeroflot made a killing by some wise gimmick by creating media hype. That brought me to think again; Will US be good on its words? Or will it kneel down again in front of the vast resources of the Russians have at their disposal?

Why the man who had been talking about the Westminster protocols, transparencies, good governance etc etc in the public for so many decades has failed to put them in to practice hitherto ? “ කැමති අය දැන් හිට ගන්න අකමැති අය බිම වාඩි වෙන්න ". That was all people heard from him yesterday This is no way of conducting a Poll and how they have counted 4000 plus votes yesterday is still a mystery to me.  Can such people be trusted to represent us ?
