"How can I not love you..."

I love this song...

Soundtrack: Anna And The King
Title: How Can I Not Love You
Artist: Joy Enriquez







Cannot touch, cannot hold, cannot be together
Cannot love, cannot kiss, cannot love each other
Must be strong and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

Cannot dream, cannot share sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel how we feel, must pretend it’s over
Must be brave and we must go on, must not say
What we’ve known all along

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you

Bridge:
Must be brave and we must be strong
Cannot say what we’ve known all along

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you
When you are gone

An Inspiration of Mine...

What do you do if you have so much work to do in a limited time, and yet you are so tired and and you cannot make head or tail of the things you have to do?

For me the answer is simple... Take a break. :D (And it should be a break NOT a vacation ;) ) To me it often gives enough time to adjust my self for a fresh start. So usually after that I can figure out some of the problems I have in my hand.

These days I have a busy calender. Examinations, course work, office work, work from here, work from there, one can call these days are hectic. So yesterday I had a tutorial to submit by yesterday evening, which I haven't even started by the time. I had to finish it within the night at least to give it in today morning.

Guess what I did? I watched TV instead of doing that. Why? Because I needed a break. ;)

But it paid off well. I was able to do the work and send the tutorial by today morning. :)

Word of warning: This might not work for everyone.

So what did I watch in the TV...?
It was a program called "Alakamandawa" wich is telecasted in the channel "Rupawahini". It's about people who have worked towards the development in Art in Sri Lanka. And yesterday's program was on late Mr Mahagama Sekera, a prominant figure in Sri Lankan Art.

And it reminded me of a person I value. Though I'm not connected to literature by profession, it stands as one of passions in life. And when it comes to Sri Lankan literature, late Mr Mahagama Sekera is the, THE figure I adore. His work inspires me, make me understand about life in a deep way. I can read his poetry over and over again. I have read, "Maknisadayath", "Rajathilaka Lionel saha Priyantha","Vyanga" and "Prabuddha"(One of my favourite books which I have read over and over again, but still cannot grasp the deep meaning of every line in the poetry).

Born on 7th April of 1929 in Radawana of Colombo District, as the only child of Maha Gamage John Appuhami and Ranawaka Achchige Rosalin, late Mr Mahagama Sekara did an inspirational, outstanding and unforgettable contribution towards, Sinhala song, poetry, novel, short stories, art and cinema. He passed away in the age of 47 leaving behind an unmachable legacy. His death is considered as a tragic lost for the Sri Lankan art.
