April Bookworm..

" She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live. " - Annie Dillard That's something you would say if you know me. Yeah I read. Alot. I don't honestly remember when I started reading.. But I can clearly remember Radiant way English book that I used to read in Nursery. I literally read everything which has letters printed/written in and my mom thought it's a good idea to get me the membership of local library. By the second grade I finished reading all the books in the library and wanted more. So mom bought me books.. It was a habit of us to visit the local bookstore at least once a month. Soon books started piling up but was that enough for me? NO... I wanted more.. and more books. As a result of collecting books for about 18 years I have a huge library in my house and also proud to say that I won the 4th place of an all island library competition when I was in seventh grade.

Tears of the Pearl...

I'm sure you all heard of the tragedy occurred in my country, Sri Lanka. On 21st of April I was on my way to hill country with mom to attend a series of lectures. Suddenly at about 9 am the woman behind me asked me if its true that there has been bomb blasts in Colombo.. Thinking if the woman is insane I turned my phone on and messages started flooding in about 2 bomb blasts in Churches. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Who killed innocent people on Easter? Why would somebody do that? Will there be more? How many people died? Is there anyone I know among casualties? How many people got injured? Where are my loved ones at the moment?
