Some writes books. Some prints books. Some reads books. Some
says things about books: about its outer shapes plus looks. Some say more about
its contents less about its outer shape and looks. So this some, somehow has
something to say or write about books.
The books are a popular subject today than yesterday.
Plus
The books are an ‘everyday topic’ not getting old. The subject
of ‘books’ are always new. From manuscripts,
write on what ever surface strategies used in all old eras to date ‘the books
‘improved’ from outside plus from its within.
Size of the book; I do not think that it matters at all for
a reader. What is important for a person who is so thirst about information, some
new knowledge, new innovations science or related and medical, engineering,
humanities or social sciences related information and knowledge plus every
category that I mention here and not the volume of information that it holds and
that is more important than its size.
The reader sometimes so much concern about the way that the
writer or the author have presented the information. So that reader or the
learner will not get bored of learning or reading.
The language; Yes it is very much important. I am not that
much aware of whether science related knowledge should come to the reader only
in sciences way or can the same science information presents in an artistic way
? not sure
I m not lucky I could not meet Mr. Arthur C Clerk. I have
not read his books mainly because I have a feeling that I will not be able to
understand the sciences that he discussed in a very scientific but in a very
popular methodical way. I have read and have heard that he used a very unique
way to explain them. I believe that to understand ‘sciences you
need to know the relevant terms of the sciences you want to study. May be I should try reading one of them it is
like ‘you are trying to learn how to swim with out jumping in to a swimming
pool or a similar place. I am a fool to say such things without trying to read
a good book that he has written.
I do not follow any particular methods here to share what I like
to share with you all my friends I may jump in to a totally different thing that
I like to talk of books and say about them.
Therefore I apologize you may feel little disturbed in
reading.
For some it is a business within a service. For some it is a
service only. For some books are their sources of living nothing else. Some
writes and designs the outer pages of them. Some says or defines all these
categories of work related to books (?) giving them modern names or define them
in a more advanced and grammatically correct or reader like way.
Some use the graphics the way they like for sure applicable
way or relevant way. Rarely we find books that have not followed the content
and designed the outer shapes and looks. That does not really show the talent
of the illustrator, designer – graphic the outer cover plays an important role
that basically the first thing that touches the heart and minds and brains too
of the reader. It is like love at first sight thing when it comes to selecting
a book. I like stopping near a good
outer shaped and designed book for a fee moments and then I decide whether I should
buy it or not and I buy them but of course depending on my need only.
Affordability is a different matter here. So the
designers too have a big role that is to try and understand its content and
then design it accordingly.
Some Illustrations I love so much.
Some big or small home pages are full of or half full of
books authored by different , different writers,
different, different ways
honored books , most selling books, least selling books, most read books.
Some buy books but do
not get chances or time to read them leisurely or totally they keep them on a
shelf or a cupboard. At least they buy therefore some others can read them when
ever they found them or looking for a good book to read. Some reads them so rushfully or on their ways
to offices or while long journey, back home or towards homes.
In some or most of the reading areas you need to stand and
read that are not the books but the books like papers ‘ reading is not a
punishment but that says or defines, reminds something ‘ no easy to write, read
or understand things’ properly or accurately I thought.
So home paged libraries or collated shelves are different to
the ones at ‘whole big shelves, labeled
categorizing accurately using the right terms – librarically, places.
Some places are huge
like some people, individuals and they
have a different names ‘ they are shops’ book shops’ that is the popular name
we are using for a place that sells and keeps books. important. Home or
mansions like places some of them are. Some
do not have a big place ‘. The books are kept in order to ‘not to be touched by
any bit of dust’ all of them are glassed or shelved so pleasing manner. Feels
like buying all of them as I discussed earlier ‘affordability is a different
matter or an issue.
The road side small, small outlets hardly have a roof places
are different to ‘big mansions like shops – books’.
There are few at least one in every city. Some sell them
keeping them on the pavements I do not know whether people go more in to such
places or to the big shops depending on the availability of the books and needs
I thought later.
So at such places some
books have plentyfull affiliations, relationships, coordinations at least a bit
with peck of dusts or lorries full of them. Such books or the owners have no
choice. But I believe that they have no
worries relationships with dusty rusty road near places. The way they have kept books at a certain
place along the roads always busy are something to think. Small shelves, not very expensive ones all in
a one shelf not labeled they live in unity in one shelf all religions, all
sciences, arts, short stories, naval novels and old ones, they all in one plus
the ‘life stories of tall personalities. You can’t just look for a particular label
to fetch a book. No I do
not think there are any dusty places selling along ‘super highways’ but only in
cites like cities.
So even while wandering all along cities or any cites you
have the chances to visit aaraamayas like ‘araliya mal aaramaya’
So this particular aaranya ‘ARALIYA MAL AARAAMAYA’ donated to the
shasanaya by one of my heroes ‘ JAYASENA JAYAKODI’. His thoughts and
imaginations always attached with some or many or any or at least a few of
‘realities – life’. They are unstoppably readable, writable in minds, arguable with
self, questionable within. Wandererble where ever like without getting visas
people or officers of immigration or migration will say ‘nothing’, no one will irritates no one says things to face or back ‘ choices
of a ones reading is his/her own worlds. Mr. The reader is the pure decider of the book
that they are going to buy. I can not decide the book that my sister should
read. But I can gift a book that I like so much or think is good, to read it or
avoid it is solely her decision. Mr. Jayakodi
is such a person he allowed me to wander here and there of him owned donated to
sasanaya via not only through araliya mal aaraamaya but also through some of his other books.
So after so many years I saw this aaramaya have come to the
city and reading the faces and minds of
the ones who runs and walks rushes , discussing this and that, watching this
and that ‘sets of people’ different or unique to each other.
Some do not notice this aaramaya. Because when last time I saw this aaramaya it was not so
visible or could be seen with some of the other aaramaya , mansions ,
institutions formal or informal, registered or unregistered under social services
act or institutions. but in a way that
the owner or any walker or a wanderer or a visitor can visit the way they like. We sometimes do not notice these place not
surprised people are busy with so many of their own schedules, plans,
objectives, aims of lives. Not that they just do not want to visit such places. I believe that some may have visited such places more than once
or many occasions in the journeys of their sansara.
Such walkings or wanderings in and out of this places
aarannya or places of books having a purpose in their minds ‘have no
territorial or bordering difference. I noticed. Whether it in Bolivia or in
Russia or in France Che or Kastro , no difference. Ways and strategies and the
objectives are the only things that show how different they are from places or
people. Different books.
Some, many, so many, majority, from all places of this world
have visited this our land officially
diplomatically or in other
ways from Vijaya kuweni era to medieval to date. They have things to say each
and every one who visited have various or different, different things to say. Their
perceptions, their ideas, their observed things, the way they explains, see
things differ from person to person. They analyze our people, our places the way
they have understood all of them
People can describe things the way they want some do not
really care about the real pictures they touch things from surface not within. Some
books tells each and everyone who reads about our people a accurate picture. Good books are like good
reports. They contain no false information they are no fictions. They touch
realities, real incidents and pic them and share they presents them with good
proofs accurate.
The books says a lot about the honesty of the author, writer
the understandings of the author or the writer of the situations, incidents,
lives of people. no fabrications gets full marks.
People like designing different outfits for different people
thinking of their body shapes and appearances same some write books that
matches the interests of the readers, people. Some give what reader asks from
them. Some gives what they think is good for the reader. Some bring crowing princesses or prince’s near
your mind, heart doors some takes you to meet a war hero of any region or a philosopher
or a brilliant minds.
We have met so many of them so far. I am sure.
But how many of them we really remember and stay in our
hearts and minds? It is not the talent or a issue of the author or the writer
may be it is because the way we read them
Some have different names for their books not just the
titles- meaningful. ‘Some teach people ‘criminology’ ‘psychology’ some teaches
our people ‘ how to meditate’ how to learn A – Z of alphabet of a different
language that we are not familiar with or have not heard about before. They do
all these miracles via the books they write. Some teach us things while they
learning something. Some know the subject that they talk ‘from a – z’ some know
little and try to write only the things that they know. People like me have
many things to learn. Therefore book writing is a far aim point for me. may be
not in this janma ( birth)
I am wondering sometimes whether these books read us. I thought
every time I go passing these places they
all looking at the ones who go passing them ‘facing sun and rain with no
difference. These – road side book shops’ ‘paara aine poth kada’ so good
places. So near.
They are open only to the ones who go passing them or come
towards them. They are not open to the ones who stays very far to them or
distanced ones. To read closely you need
to buy a book no one can read a book while it stays on the shelf. These road side poth kade poth ( books of road
side book shops) I have a feeling although they are not secured among any
shelves ‘ air conditioned’ , roofed , coated with preferred paintings places ‘
no huge sign boards or name boards ‘ ‘why need a name’ they have a place no big
deal for them. They stay happily. Apparently the place and the provided shelf is enough for them . What is the point places having
names when they have no place among people. So this ( Not applicable to every place or person ) such
places ‘road side book shops’ holds no big name boards but they have that place
to live at least before they go with a person whom they get so much respect no
insult and try read them understandfully and totally . ‘ I am not sure whether
they pay any taxes to the municipal council for using the space their’s.
Che is not a
unfamiliar name’ Knox may little strange to the new or young teens because he
was very old when he stepped out of this land. It is not a name that comes with A – Z of
sciences sutras or do not come under any mathematics
Some were born in Germany, Madagaskar, or Italy and visited
here and agreed to baptized in our local language ‘Sinhalese .
I did not meet English Che I am these days trying to understand
‘the Sinhalese Che’ I have met this Sinhalese Che several times. This time he was carrying his diary and I am
thinking how to understand the fights and contributions of him to his ‘Bolivians
out side Bolivians battles. The ones he has associated through out his battles
there or everywhere against inhuman not familiar to me may be that is because I
m not a Bolivian but a Sri Lankan. It is
good to understand them and apply it to the societies that we live their
experiences we must try and learn and understand and apply when ever needs
them.
Che is different to
the father of Hamlet ‘ Shakespeare’ or to the God of small things. Che’s media involvements
with people was different to Shakespere’s how to compare. No use.
The books taught me all these.
Discounts given or give for books for the books to be sold from
this number to that number but never felt like bargaining. Why they are books
not garments that are wearable and throw it away when torn.
These books empowered me, still empowering me, taking me
through Pasdun korale to Hath korale, to the guards of forests territories who
were not holding any weaponry but the orders of the King. Voice was so powerful
than any weapons. Robert Knox witnessed. Weapons along can not stop anyone at
any point that is no point trying. Humanitarian wars are extremely different to
the bloodshed other foolish battles some fights so idiot ways why fight when
you guys have the total liberty to solve what so ever in four walls or within
your private rooms or homes, officers, territories. Fighting bring nothing that
‘empty our minds’ . it is like viral
fevers spreads so easily. I thought looking at different , different lined this
way and to the other way ‘ ribboned and leads with OOOOOphs very handsome
riders in front J
going away? Or coming home? That was little difficult for me to decide because I
am not aware of their home site. Fortunately.
Some faces of books so attractive they are not mirroring
enough of their inner lanes though. I thought looking at the faces facing me
sitting at pare potha kade (road side book shop)
I am thinking how to write profiles of others accurately.
But it is an exercise I am not sure whether it is a deal between the author,
writer or the person who is willing to share his/her life histories to be
written on pages for others to view, or agreed to sell later. no books are
there under the categories or labels ‘take any we do not charge’. Every book
has a price tag fortunately or unfortunately. Some sells personalities but that
can be done only after agreeing with the personalities.
Some sells ‘letters’ love and some are confidential so they
decide to sell them for a huge currencies that is an exercise that sometimes
the person does not know or that happen generally after the death of the person
but getting the ‘ official or unofficial permission of the living relatives,
close ones. For instance person’s wife
or husband.
Why ?
is it just because people are so curious about how they loved each other ( legends lets assume) or is it because they provide quotes love or any other for them to live healthily.
I do not know
May be it is because such things are easily sellable than
life quotes.
Love quotes are sellable than any other things I thought
reason not easily define or note here.
How and what Diana wrote to his last fiancé or to the ones
before took away her life permanently ‘ a death too is a sellable thing often
such thoughts too comes in to my mind with out any second thoughts.
Who is the only
qualified person to write ‘profiles’? Things may not accurately compiling when
someone else take the responsibility to write. No one can compile my profile so
accurately adding a – z of my life events the way that I feel. Can write
because later proof readings can be done but I am thinking how to give it an
emotionally or psychologically valid weight.
The books of personalities: some are politically tall some
are spiritually tallest, some are apolitically very nourished, some are so fat
in ideologies. That is how the appearances of the personalities who were
sitting facing towards faces plus once in a way reading the bus route numbers
and the passengers. They all are
comparatively shows difference to each other. You meet short ones and
malnourished ones too.
Zoology to biology of creatures of this big universe they
tell you or teach you. Senses and understandings of animals to humans, their
shapes and sizes one can learn from viewing pages but before that it is good to
read the contents that save your valued time. Amazing isn’t it.
The page enclose of contents gives you a hint of the number
of the page that has the things or the information that you are looking for you
so after visiting the content page one can accurately locate the correct page
number without visiting wrong pages. Even they are paragraphed for the easiness of
the ones who view them. Such things we called ‘books’ nothing else.
Year of first published and after versions all one can read
because they are printed. Fonts of
author‘s choice titles of authors choice ‘we read ‘
Introduction, to last page comment give you a little hint of
the content or of the inner pages but I like reading them without reading or
listening to the ideas of others to get a thorough understanding of the content.
It is sometimes good to read last page
last.
What is the book that you read these days?
These days ……………….. I
am reading ‘Che’s Diary’ translated by Ms. Malini Gowinnage.
