I have read one, wish I had read more. \u201871 Karella\u2019 was class. Obviously he had done a great service to history in Sri Lanka by placing on record all those who stood up to change the tide in the \u201871 uprising. They deserved their stories to be archived in print. Three cheers to Ruwan for writing the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Now he is onto poetry. \u2018Rhythm of Life\u2019 is simple. It has loneliness, love and people, all expressed in words that do not chase Whitman or Emily Dickinson. Nor is Ruwan a Rod McKuen. He is just Ruwan, medicine man, writer and a searcher for truth in a world of abstract values. I have never met him, know him only by his words. That is enough if one cares to read deep.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Fiddler\u2019 was great, \u2018Monika Bay\u2019 I love, \u2018The Alien\u2019 and \u2018Street Walker\u2019 tug at heart strings. Many poems are on a romantic platform; is he writing poetry or his own story? How would I know?<\/p>\n<p>Ali Bumaye takes us to Kinshasa, Woody Allen fights Marciano and Stallone runs in Philadelphia. All this intermix with Lennon, Andy Gibb and the Gambler Rogers. This is poetry for melancholy moods to see some light. Maybe in some philosophical ways to understand life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capt Elmo Jayawardena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u0db8\u0dda \u0d92 \u0d9a\u0dc0\u0dd2 \u0db4\u0ddc\u0dad\u0dda \u0d91\u0db1 \u0d9a\u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dba\u0d9a\u0dca<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electronic Civilization and Its Discontents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Electronically plugged in life<\/p>\n<p>Connected with invisible wires<\/p>\n<p>Millions of fake connections<\/p>\n<p>While surfing for true one<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Happily connected and being together<\/p>\n<p>While unhappily not being together<\/p>\n<p>Connected but isolated<\/p>\n<p>Attached but feels helpless<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Who said ; No man is an island<\/p>\n<p>Electronically separated in tiny islands<\/p>\n<p>Live in a plugged universe<\/p>\n<p>Being alone together<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Falling in love with an online avatar<\/p>\n<p>Facing each other mechanically<\/p>\n<p>But hiding from each other<\/p>\n<p>Walking towards an unknown destiny<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eradicating the human touch<\/p>\n<p>Eliminating human relationships<\/p>\n<p>Establishing robotic empathy<\/p>\n<p>Lost souls in a cyber world<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Expecting more from technology<\/p>\n<p>Expecting less from each other<\/p>\n<p>Becoming more and more isolated<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I Share, Therefore I Am<\/p>\n<p>(Rhythm of Life)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0dc0\u0ddb\u0daf\u0dca\u200d\u0dba \u0dbb\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0db1\u0dca \u0d91\u0db8\u0dca \u0da2\u0dba\u0dad\u0dd4\u0d82\u0d9c\u00a0 Dr Ruwan M Jayatunge \u0db8\u0dd2\u0dad\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dc0\u0dbb\u0dd4\u0db1\u0dd2 \u0db8\u0db8 \u0d9a\u0dc0\u0dd2 \u0db4\u0ddc\u0dad\u0d9a\u0dca \u0dbd\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dcf.: Rhythm of Life \u0db4\u0dd9\u0dbb\u0dc0\u0daf\u0db1 \u0d9a\u0db4\u0dd2\u0dad\u0dcf\u0db1\u0dca \u0d91\u0dbd\u0dca\u0db8\u0ddd \u0da2\u0dba\u0dc0\u0dbb\u0dca\u0db0\u0db1 \u0d9c\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca ; \u0db8\u0dda \u0dc0\u0dc3\u0dbb \u0d87\u0dad\u0dd4\u0dbd\u0dad \u0d91\u0dbd\u0dd2\u0dba\u0da7 \u0daf\u0dcf\u0db1\u0dca\u0db1 \u0db4\u0dd4\u0dbd\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc0\u0dd9\u0dba\u0dd2 \u0d9a\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dcf \u0dc4\u0dd2\u0dad\u0db1\u0dc0\u0dcf Foreword Rhythm of Life\u2019 Dr Ruwan M Jayatunge has written many books.
