They are part of this world. They can’t live
without water if you take them out of water that is the end of their lives.
They born in water and they die because of ‘our desires’ that comes in
different varieties, types, sliced in different shapes and try stagnant in
collaboration with ‘our thoughts’ in the
minds – deep.
We know and read and learn ‘pansil’ –sometimes
everyday or at least on a particular ‘POYA DAY’
‘Paanathi paatha weramani sikka padan samadiyaami’
I like to think this a little. I like to think of
everyone who engage in this ‘fish businesses’ or fisheries, fishermen, the
buyers the eaters.
Think of a ‘fisherman’ is
he the only person who steals the right of living of a fish? No I am part of
it. Why he go fishing because we have shown him that we like eating them’ and
we have shown them that you can live a good life if you go fishing. We have
shown them that if you do this business in a little advance way you have the
chances to be ‘rich’ owning big boats catching more of them sometimes fighting
with others over territories that we have no ownership ‘that is their world’
but we think that that is ours – the fishterritories.
We talk about Marxism, Imperialism, fishism,
talkism we never think of ‘stopfishism’ why? No we
can’t – how many lives depend on this ‘Yaalu maalu’
Fish seller- village thinks the person who comes and
buys his collated fish from big fish seller is a ‘savior’ ‘helper’ that helps
him to take care of his kids and parents and family. He thinks that he sends
his kids to school and he buys some clothes for his parents because the others
come and buy. Is that the real reason are we really thinking of ‘fishermen’s
family’ and his kids. Those things happen automatically we help each other
unknowingly and we become part of criminals’ murders or support ill wills
unknowingly.
I heard some information recently I can’t remember
when and where I guess that was written on a news paper. A police officer was arrested because of
taking a ‘bribe’ of one hundred thousand rupees from a woman who leads women
who sells their body for living (?) -‘prostitution’ we know these things I am
not going to say that the person who tried to get ‘bribe’ from the woman –
particular. I am not going to say that the person who tried to take bribe was
doing it unknowingly. He knew it and did it purposely. May be will be using
this money to give his daughter a dowry or he may spend this money ‘on his
daughters education’. Then here who helped him and his daughters education or
to take her home future a dowry ‘the woman who run the house to fulfill the
desires of some sort of some. The girl who may become a ‘welcomed or accepted
profession holder of this society one day without knowing that her father spent
for her education from the money that he took from the woman and the money
touched by ‘they do this profession reason only special or particular only to
them group’. One person’s desires become a ‘help of some families for their
‘living’
I am not going to generalize or I am not trying to
give it a ‘fare’ look or a shape’.
I am thinking whether we can really point our
finger at a ‘wrong doer’ with a very clean mind and a brain. Do not go very far
‘think of a ‘fisherman’. May be you are not a fishtarian like me may be you are
a vegetarian or an eggtarian like some others
I remember Mr. Tuna
came to visit us and he observed ‘St. john fish market.
Fish is ‘tourism’ fish is ornamental, fish is ‘chef
– love’ ‘earn a living’ ‘fish is friend – kids kind’, ‘bring
money from coastal to middle town ‘self employed’, not pensionable (?) who
trust this employee? Is there a fund for them? Just asking.
Kids love to feed them they take some time to
understand that they feed us than we feed them.
Can we say fish nets better than internet. Or is
it the opposite. What can we catch from internet but from fishing net we can
catch ‘fishes’. But if you go to internet you can learn ‘how to catch a fish’. How
to cook a fish, how to feed a fish, etc. we depend each other we depend on
every thing. Depending is not a bad word. We say we are ‘prosperous, we do not
depend on anything, I depend on internet I depend on books I depend on thoughts
I depend on news you collate, I depend on information you share, I depend on
knowledge you share. ‘Independent’ is an immeasurable word. I am thinking of those
fishes are they independent or interdependent, or else dependent creatures. ‘Sharks’
and ‘Tunas’- how can we think that they do not depend on ‘haalmessa’s and
little, little prawns and cuttlefishes.
If you think of a group of fishes of same family
or parampara who loves to travel from that corner to this corner showing us
their ‘unity’ do they show ‘continental differences’.
I like to think of fish DISHcrimination and
Fishdecoration
But before that I thought of relaxing myself a
little thinking of everyones favorite and simple words but gives a lot of
enjoyment’ + plus a message song ‘Surangani’
Surangani surangai suranganita maalu genawa
Maalu maalu maalu me den genapu maalu
A song has the ability to connect people, connect
continents, connect hearts and minds, connects thoughts with houghts. Our next
door actress ‘Madhuri’ can sing this very well. I am sure that ‘Irangani’,
Umayangani, Ranjini, Damini, they too can sing this very well lets say too
well. Master blaster witnessed her
talents of singing surangani surangani. I did not know that he can dance that
well.
Why surangani gets this much attention than
Tharangani of the same lane I am amazed apoi I am not taking about gender or
any other discrimination I am just thinking of Surangani may be she understand
the ‘DISHES - fishes’ very well than Tharangani and Jayangani.
Maaalo
Maaalo
He comes with a bicycle – pushed towards ‘forward’
with a very fashionable and rhythmic tone may be you are familiar with this
familiar ‘Maalo’ Maalo tone – their ‘voice tone’ merited with ‘ time’.
you can
weigh ‘ their tone type and you can come to conclusions about their age or about things such as ‘how many years of engaging
in the business' kind of things. ‘their maalo maalo tones sometimes you hear for the first time in the lane you live may give you 'a smooth' feeling or 'alright thought' but when you keep on listening to his voice for sometime to understand the changes of voices + plus other changes including outer appearances if he non stop comes your home way to sell
fishes of many types or varieties of them. Try compare the things that you notice first day of hearing his voice and observed 'appearances' with the day that you last saw him- can learn a loads of things.
I am
thinking ‘learning is not living always’
Learning and living plus earning all should go in parallel
to everything or most of the things that we think is important.
Let me come back to ‘maalo
maalo
words’ and a response he or somebody else gets.
A lady comes towards forward asking?
‘aiiiii me
enawoooo? (why Comiiiiing)’
Any guesses, who is this lady ?
It is Mala
Mala thought that someone was calling her name no
it was the man with some fish trying to sell - asking anyone or everyone to buy
some fish to take some rice home.
One needs to hear something clearly and closely if
not what will happen, think a while ‘you try hear something from a distance and
if you did not hear the exact words or sentences that the person/people who are
in conversation with you have no choice than imagine or you catch something in
a totally different way.
Maalu mala maale
Male mail tail total tale
Sail sale
Detail retail
Above are just words but I guess you can see some
similarities in ‘hear -sounds’ or pronunciations but they all hold difference
literally according to my understanding over the language – poor.
This note mine is not a big ‘analysis’ on fishism
or positivism this is just a try of this and that ‘thought a while’ note.
I am not a vegetarian but I am not a big fan of
fishes ‘can do without, ‘any problem’ at all’
We are sometimes very professional or very serious
about professionalism’ and about many things and the things we discuss
sometimes may not always ‘logical or not logical’. But there is no harm in
expressing what we think on something or what we like or what we do not like. When
others express their inner minds we read or we hear, listen then we show them our
view, we debate, and we disagree and sometimes agree. no one knows everything ‘
we renew or refresh or delete and add listening or reading your expressions
over each others ideas and concepts or what ever name you give ‘other’s thought’.
We don’t
really think about some things like ‘small things’ we like to discuss ‘gender
discrimination’ forgetting the way that we sometimes discriminate our same
groups that we belongs to.
Small things are big things. If one thinks that
small things are smaller compared to the bigger things, existing I guess we
need to re-adjust our minds and brains, plates and dishes.
We like give things we know or learn ‘a village
look, an area look, a district shape etc.
Wev maalu
Matara del
NO I m not going a write a recipe or a menu of
some choice.
Thinking of ‘fish and fish related curries and
cuisines I can not forget ‘fish curries and the fish choices or ‘the fish
preferences’ that we maintain within.
Why some like only big fish not small fishes. Thalapath’
gets attention than ‘thilapiyas’ – why? Is it because they belong to two
different residencies or families or parampara or else are there any other
reasons that we do not know only the fishes know.
Thilapiya – where do you live my friend? You live
with ‘korali’ no? lula kanaya madaya
who are they then? I know that you al friends though you show others ‘you are
enemies’ what is this bad word ‘enemy’ or fishtyrant’
Lula nethi walata kanaya pandithayalu
Have you heard about that before?
Some like ‘thoru’ moru’
‘pokirisso’
than korali
or
lula and some like thilapiya.
I do not know whether they worry about ‘how we
handle our ‘duka and sepa’ ‘sorrow and happiness’ may be that is why our lyrists
have smelled their hearts and minds in a different way and shared their view
with us.
They knew
that they inquire about our sorrows and happiness
Thoru
moru pokirrisso ape duka sepa wimasanawa
Some mudalalila’s make faces when some customers
go and only buy cheap fish thinking of their poor wallets and buying some rice
may a little toffee for his/her child, later. That is their way of giving and
adding a smile to the faces of their children. Some big mudalalila’s do not
understand these levels or the sizes or the heaviness of the wallets of their
customers and they make faces.
Saalayo 250g denna mudalai
Ai ‘Bollu’ epada ewath aluth maalu’
It is very interesting to hear this and that of ‘fish
conversations’ at different fish markets or at fish
stalls.
Before I go in to my next fish conversation let me
remind you that ‘what I discuss here or what I see there and also somewhere as
happenings or existings ‘not applicable to everyone or to every place. That is
understandable no.
When they see some customers coming ‘looks like
having a little heavy wallets ethakota mune hinaa mal godai’ then we can notice
faces bloomed with uncountable number of flowers. Natural and this is no complaining.
After all they have to think of their businesses moko api eyalawa bala ganawaye’
Some thinks that very small fishes are ‘quality
and healthy kind of fishes compared to the ‘big fishes of the markets’. Haalmassa
is rich in calcium but small. For fresh fish we pay more than dried ones. Dried
ones are cheaper. Let me think again. May be I m wrong. I did not think of the
bulk prices and the retail prices.
Haalmessa is full of ‘calcium good for
your young kid’s teeth also provide other required health ingredients.
‘saalaya’ is a kind that always or most of
the time seen on the plate of a poor. Not expensive can prepare any ways of
your choices.
The recent tsunami of fishes has nothing to do
with any other calamities of environment it is something to do with sea - deep and
‘water – cool meeting waves’ result or an outcome these changes lead to
‘furious minds’ ‘do not eat them’ and Dr. Samudra or Sayura (sorry I cant’
remember the name seen on TV screen- news bulletin) of Nara ‘became a peace
mediator’ and said that ‘eating them no harm’. This fish – tsunami ‘did you
earn any money’ ‘I saw some of them of all struggling for breath of living’
jumping from here to there from ‘weaved Wattiya to the sand again and from sand
again over to the heads of little boys – smiling thrilled coz seen so much ‘no
need to pay any money coz nothing had to pay Trolers or to the fish mudaalis at
least this time of different tsunami - fish, their sudden visit – unwelcome.
Samuddrika looked so proud was this before fish tsunami?
I heard yesterday, the changes that was going to apparent
in Hawai marking 7.7 on the careen of machines of ‘deep sea readings’ but
everything was alright they reported ‘no harm’ they have reacted well and wisely to the alarms of warning.
Some discriminate ‘their fish curries saying ‘owa
hari ushna maalu’ those fishes are very heaty kind of
fishes not good for you if your body react to those things in a strange way.
Bala saha kelawalla, ‘tuna
group fishes’ etc
Prawns also belong to this group some say.
Some like sea fish not tank fish. I don’t know the
exact reason how should I know without even doing a survey of their fish
choices and of course there should be some reasons.
Some ask ‘muhude eka maaluwada inne’? Why there is
only one fish in the sea some ask? But every fish is not equal or not similar
that we have to understand I guess. People have fish choices I like salaya
some like mora and thora
Big barbeque party kind fishes and you can see a
notice on the faces of waiters or waitresses ‘no small fishes are allowed to
enter’ why because they are not barbeque type’ and or ‘grilled type’ so they
are not allowed to enter. ‘Only the invitees are allows ‘Crabs or stylish prawns
not for grilling but for some decorating – I do not know.
‘I do not know but I sometimes feel forgive me ‘if
I am saying something very wrong. ‘Do these fish have class preferences’ or ‘my
class’ ‘human class’ ‘fistarian class’ are these class classed have any fish preferences
or are we pretending like we have fish preferences. I am thinking at this moment?
This is about fish preferences not about ‘veggies or fruities’ preferences
Tank fish (wev maalu)
Fish tanks (maalu tanki)
Two different topics to discuss first above
mentioned is a big topic also the second. No difference why ‘tank’s are little
bigger not little actually so much bigger than ‘fish tanks with a cement touch’
not too big but I can say too small for a living creature to travel the way
they like.
In Weva and in Muhuda they
can live in a little bit of liberty-full way though they have the all-time
threats of human. Please let us think of stop dynamiting if there is any who practice
such ways of killing harming not only the ‘they do no harm us – fishes ‘but we
harm them all’ including their living palaces, the little weeds with different
shapes and sizes that decorate their world of spending day & night until
they live shorter or a longer life.
What liberty in fish tanks?
‘Keep an ornamental fish tank before your seating
comfortabilities that keeps you away from work related stress/s.
I am not the ones who says above here comes my
saying
Do not keep any cages of fishes in the ‘your loved
territories – homes or houses even if you get some meditating chances looking
at them the fishes who travel in their born choice territories from this corner
to that corner in the their limited territorial’s thinking of a new territory
to shift. I think students can write a tutorial on this topic ‘territorial of
fishes - old and current’.
You can’t put a kelawalla in a tank that you have chosen
thinking and respecting the choice of your child and later spending some time finding
a better corner for them to reside in the residencies that you built having so
much hopes and aims in the minds and hearts of yours.
I think in this VERY SPECIAL POYA DAY I talked a
lot about ‘FISH DISHcrimination and about fish decorations that decorated my
mind corners in different way.
I like to wind up this little note on fishes and
their friends noting a few lines from a song ‘drama – stage’ ‘tharawo igelethi’
And I like to note that we are so happy to see you
back in STAGE SO LIVELY again sir, Mr Lusion Bulath Sinhala’
