“The feeling came from the melting drops from the rain...The moment has come close to my heart

It touched my heart but I couldn`t know…but when I looked back and think of the few meeting up`s we had….I like the moment…I can’t do this…I’ll send the message through the wind..I Love you. Where do I get these words from? Life is coming your way.

“New girl in the city”

Like many others before me. I came to Colombo with many dreams. The biggest one was to become a writer and I was so passionate to fulfill it, with this column Colombo has made this one dream come true. But even after a lot of struggle I couldn`t do it justice. Everything I wrote seemed lacking it was loquacious but still that was not my point. What could I say about this city that hadn`t been said before. So I tore up my approved article and began writing again. But I had been so callous about some important things in life. In just two months I began to feel a strange love for this city as if it’s my own.

What lay at the core of this Love?

This exciting new town, my little apartment or my bizarre independence? What has this city given me that make me love her so?

Actually the answer had been quite apparent it had been in front of my eyes just a few steps ahead of me, but I had not noticed it for the last two years.

I JUST DIDN`T SEE.

I met someone for the first time at a “New years eve party 2008”...my first friend, I guess

A boy, a stranger, a new mate, a companion, just someone. I did not so want to know about his goals and ambitions but he sure knew how to enjoy his life.

When I look back I wonder if the joy of being a writer would have been the same without his thoughts, I look back at the lonely nights made less lonely by trying to find more of him.

When I had first come here I had my goals straight. My forte was music and writing only but now I know that the joy of achieving these goals is meaningful only when shared with someone else. This city is though as its beautiful. In this city where anything and everything has changed. The sea is a constant, I can keep staring at it for hours, and it’s beautiful. People complain of traffic and noise but Colombo monsoons are what you can die for .it’s awesome

Sometimes while running after our goals being engrossed in one particular thing we lose sight of many things that really matter.

Only now do I see that my straight love for this city is actually one with my love for this person!

So closes your eyes for a second. Look for your special someone and see the city through their eyes. You`ll see that this city is even more beautiful than you ever imagined. Who knows even you might get a new friend like me. Never let your dreams pass by spin them in to reality.

This new friend has changed my whole world into a festoon. But now it’s too late for me to regret because my dreams have going far, far, far away now I can’t touch them anymore.

All these things happened quite spontaneously “the party 2008” and this novel experience has left behind more than a million memories in me

“I miss YOU and the TWO spectacular years when you were so close to me.”
