Fascinations - I

I have a few irresistible fascinations in my life from childhood days. One dearly place close to my heart is close to our country as well. The island nation of Srilanka. I love the nation for the rich culture it has not to meniton the civil war that's going on to establish supremacy between the races namely Sinhalese Vs Tamils. Though there is enough history to prove that Tamils are also native inhabitants of the nation, I do not buy the idea of Tamil state that could be headed by the leader of the group that's  battling with Sinhala Army(I wont call Srilanka army). 

Let me get out of the political chaos and into some thing interesting. I wish not to see Srilanka as a tourist destination or a holiday spot. I wish my life to be interwoven with Srilankan culture. The languages spoken there, both Tamil and Sinhala are so pleasing to ears and I never get bored watching to YT videos in Sinhala. The language is a magical mesmerizer and glues to your ears. 

I love the Srilankan girls for the dress code they have. The 'midis' or the skirts as we may call it to be, is a master piece to showcase the beauty of creativity in human mind to decode the beauty of women. Beauty is complex and that is the reason I am forced to use the word decode. 

The Srilankan names are so beautiful that I don't find the right adjective to qualify them. I should ask Shakespeare to be born again to write a piece of literature on Srilankan Names. 

Another fascination I have is the heavenly paradise on Earth, the caribbean isles. Its definiely apt to call it a paradise. I can discuss the elegance of these islands in another post some time later. It's time for me break now to Lunch. poor stomach is yelling to be filled with some stuff... :(
