A nice song from Henry Jayasena's "Kuweni" (කුවේණි) stage play.
This is the පූරක song sung by Henry Jayasena and Wijeratne Warakagoda
අන්ධකාරෙන් දුරාතීතේ
අන්ධකාරෙට අනාගතයේ
රැගෙන යාමට කතා පුවතක්
අන්ධකාරේ සිට කියන්නේ
බොහෝ දේ සිදුවූ අතීතේ
වැලළිලා ඇත අන්ධකාරේ
පොලෝ පස් යට උනුන් කඳුළැලි
ලෙයත් දහඩිය එකට මුසුවී
.....
පොළෝ තලයෙන් වැසුනු බිජුවට
නැගී එන සේ දිනෙක පසු කල
අතීතේ සැඟවුනු කඳුලු බිඳු
ලෙයත් දහඩිය මද සිනා රැලි
අන්ධකාරෙන් දුරාතීතේ
නැගී යලි එක් වේය අප හා
අපේ කඳුලැලි
ලෙයත් දහඩිය
සමඟ මුසු වී ලෝ දහමසේ
.....
අන්ධකාරෙන් දහස් වසරෙක
මෝහයෙන් තව දහස් වසරෙක
මානයෙන් යලි පන්සියක් කල්
වසා සැඟවූ මුත් කුවේණිය
අදත් ඇය අප දෙස බලන්නී
හෙටත් යලි අප දෙස බලන්නී
දුරාතීතේ අන්ධකාරය
මැදින් සිට එබිකම් කරන්නී
......
සදා ඇය අප හා සිටින්නී
දොරින් දොර සැම තැන වෙසෙන්නී
එදා හෙලු කඳුලුත් රුහිරු බිඳු
සදා අප වෙනුවෙන් හෙලන්නී
සදා කාලෙම ලොව පහල වූ
සදා කාලෙම ලොව පහල වන
කුවේණියමයි එකම ගැහැනිය
එදා උපනත් අද උපන්නත්
......
ඇයයි දුක් පීඩා විඳින්නේ
ඇයයි වද හිංසා දරන්නේ
ඇයයි අවමානය ලබන්නේ
ඇයයි යකිණිය නම් ලබන්නේ

Gregory Peck Collection - Day Two
To Kill a Mockingbird
Come and have fun with Jem, Scout, Dill and Atticus and of course Cal. Not to forget Mrs. Dubose, Miss Maudie and Boo.In the Harper Lee's Book, you'll find more...
It's a day maker even with the old footage. Get the book (or a translation) with the movie (1962) one of the greatest ever made. Which had won great many Academies.
Get Ready Boo.!!!! Atticus is here...
Atticus Finch: If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
Come and have fun with Jem, Scout, Dill and Atticus and of course Cal. Not to forget Mrs. Dubose, Miss Maudie and Boo.In the Harper Lee's Book, you'll find more...
Older Scout: [narrating] Maycomb was a tired old town, even in 1932 when I first knew it. |
Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch |
Atticus Finch: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible. |

Both Sides Now
What a number!!! Today I saw that, I had fully listen to this song without pausing, without stopping, 47 times upto today from 2011. Number one in the play count list. Guess it was my all time favorite. So I went to a little bit of digging.
Found out it had several covers from several artists. But mine is from the Ronan's cover in his tribute album "Songs for my Mother", my all time favorite album. I guess the original from Joni Mitchell is defeated by the cover of Ronans. There are few other covers that are worth to listen. For example Hayley's cover video is something. And Sinatra's has a good fast rhythm. But most of all Ronan's one is the best. His soothing style and voice gives the clear meaning of the song. Sadness and happiness. Illusion and reality. How we roll through this four elements all through in our life.
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
පාවි ගලා යන සුරඟන කේශා රැල්ලක්, අහස් කුස තැනූ හිම කීරම් මාලිගාවක්, සිව්දෙස වසාගත් පියාපත් දොරුවක්, ලෙසින් වළාකුල දෙස මෙසේ දුටුවෙමි.
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
නමුදු දැන් එය හිරු සඟවයි, වැසි හිම දියෙන් අප තෙමයි. මා කුමක් කලත් මා මඟ අහුරයි.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
මම දෙපසකින් වළාකුල දෙස දැක්කෙමි. ඉහලින් හා පහලින්. වළාවේ මායාව එයයි.
මා ඇත්තෙන්ම වළාකුල ගැන කිසිත් නොදනිමි
Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I really don't know life at all

මේ ගලා එන්නේ අතීතයෙන් නැගි සුළඟයි
ගැමුණු රජකල දවස
චණ්ඩ මේඝ රණ ගෝෂා
යුධකලා වූ සටන් බිම
මතින් පිසගෙන ආ පවන් රැලි
කියාවි ඒ සක් හඬින්
ලක් දිව දෙදරූ වග
කුඩාකල මා සුවඳ මුසු වූ
ඒ උණුසුම් සුළං රොද
සීත පවන් රැලක් වී
අදත් මා අභියස
සක්මන් කර පවසන්නෙ
ඒ කතාවම නොවෙද?

Never Ending Story
ඉවර නොවන කතාන්දරයක් ("Ivara Novena Kathandarayak") the translation of "Never Ending Story" was a book I got from our library long time ago when I was a kid. It was started truly as an never ending story with a magical and mystic touch, and its heavy appearance support that thought too for a seven or eight years old kiddie me. But anyway finally it was ended like always a book could be. It will be a fascinating thing, if you can have a story on your hands that would never ends forever, so that you can read it everyday as your life moves on.
Walter Isaac's Steve was another never ending story I recently got from last year Sept and started reading. And finally I ended it few days ago. "Unleash your creativity" (the essay of our Peera). Those words were kept haunting my memory all through the reading. Wonderful book to read and something to learn about product revolution mastery all through the history line.
Jony Ive, the man behind the mask... Simplicity the most sophistication.... Technology vs street of the arts harmonization....
And it was not about making things, but all about make people making what need to be made.
And it was not about making things, but all about make people making what need to be made.
PS: When I gone through the net to memorize the childhood fantasy never ending story, see... I found a movie of it, and a song. And another magical storybook I once read, hopped into my mind. "Lionheart Brothers". And it has a movie too.
I guess these things should remake now with that Narnia look and feel.

Internet & Secrets
There was a time people used to have personal diaries to write their day-to-day stuff, mostly the feelings. Whatever the things come across in their mind, they write it as a memory or to freed their heads. Like Anne Frank did. Some called it a journal, some say a scrap book, but whatever it was, it is private, a secret, among themselves. It's hidden thing from the public. A closed environment.
But if you take the situation in nowadays, with the emergence of internet and technology, we can see people are being more open when they are expressing their feelings over the web. I guess the intangibility and tangibility factor create a great impact when considering why people have two different notions when dealing with the two ways.
Found a great quote when I go through the lecture notes for the subject Security.
"If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you do not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees."- Kahlil Gibran -
What we say over the web, who knows what or when or where could it be lead us. So all what we can say is, be aware.

ඇගේ සිනහව
එළඹි මැදියම් රෑ
ඇරුණු කවුළුව අසල
අසුන්ගෙන පහසුවට
ගෙවන්නට මොහොතක්
නිසසල සුවයෙන්
සැරසී හිඳ ගතිමි
රැය පිහින මද පවන
සිසිලසයි සීතලයි
හමා එන සුළං රළ
ගත පුරා පිනා යයි
දුටුවෙමි ඈ මඩල
පිරිපුන්ව වටකුරුව
හිනැහුනා මා සමඟ
නාදුනන ශ්වේත රුව
අහස් කුස ලංකාර වේදිකා තනාලා
තරු රැඟුම් අතර මැද මා සමඟ හිනැහුනා
හිනැහුනේ මා හටද?
නැතිනම් තවකෙකුට?
ඈගේ රැඟුම් දැක
ප්රීතියෙන් පිනා ගිය
සිනහව එ මට දුන්
කීයකට තවත් නම්
යුග කල්ප කාලයක්
දුන්නාද ඔබ?

Thank you Miss Potter
Miss Potter and Mr Norman looking at their first print. |
It seems like a decade has been gone after the last visit to the world of Arta. As far as I can remember, in the last visit, we wandered through the untouched ancient Egypt. Thankfully I'm step inside to the world again. After a long long time. Feel so wonderful to be back again. Hi folks at Arta, did you missed me!!? Anyway I'm here now, all in one piece. Never going to loose you all again.
Frame 2 with Adobe Flash |
It's fun to refresh the memories through flashes as the 1st step. I mean with adobe flashes. (gosh! ! World has moved without me. It's not Macromedia now. Anyway not a big difference) And I was right place at the right moment, when it knocked the door. Story-boarding!! And it flashed right on me. Thanks to Naai, my friend. Wish your demonstration best of luck. Those flashes reminded me my 1st macro flashes with layers, masks, convert to symbols and many more. Nice to be here again. There is a long way to go.
Book is published. |
So there I met this nice lady Miss Potter with good inspiration. aah..!! And Obiwan Kenoby was there too. BBC Films, You are so great! It was so wonderful to see both of them in a nice little plot as in the Down with Love.
"Let me teach you how to dance". Guess what, I learned it.

Saving Mr Banks
If you go deep down each and everyone's lives underneath, you will find a wonderful story-line among the stories of their lives. It may not appears as an classical movie you see at cinemas with background scores and touching dialogues, if you see from the water above. But if you are a diver, an imagineer, your powers will brings you a fascinating unbelievable colors beyond the ocean with background scores humming in your ears.
Saving Mr Banks gives you the perfect example. The story of how Mary Poppins inspired every kid in the Disney town. Who is she, and why was she there. Who was behind her as well as in-front of her. You will get all the answers for your all sort of questions about her, and few other facts about every kid's favorite, Uncle Walt (Tom Hanks). No words to describe how the story-line of it, was harmonized to the reality. If I may say, Perfectly superb!!
PS :
There are lot to come in the line from BBC films.

Cryptanalysis - Part 2
Yesterday we stucked in the 3rd exercise and we realized it cannot be done with the same previous approach. Let's see if we can use the same Ceaser cipher, but this time using a backward approach rather than a forward approach. Therefor we need to change our "createAlphabet(char replaceWith, char replaceTo)" method as follows.
Ok!! now we are ready for the transmission. Let's start with choosing the character "O" to replace the maximum countable character "U".
Viola!!
THE COOK WAS A GOOD COOK AS COOKS GO AND AS COOKS GO SHE WENT
By Saki
Cryptanalysis
Hurrah!!!! Finally implemented the algorithmic code to decrypt a cipher text message without looking at Internet. (Internet sometime makes you lazy nutshell as a calculator sometimes)
The exercises taken from the book "Security in Computing, Fourth Edition By Charles P. Pfleeger". It doesn't say whether it was Substituted or Transpositioned, you have to find it by yourself by performing various test. All that was given is ONLY the cipher text. KaBooom...!!
The exercises taken from the book "Security in Computing, Fourth Edition By Charles P. Pfleeger". It doesn't say whether it was Substituted or Transpositioned, you have to find it by yourself by performing various test. All that was given is ONLY the cipher text. KaBooom...!!
Cipher Text : fqjcb rwjwj vnjax bnkhj whxcq nawjv nfxdu mbvnu ujbbf nnc
Let's start with the easiest. The Substitution with Ceaser cipher which is a mono-alphabetic cipher.
From the above code segment, first we captured the ciper text using a scanner, so we can enter whatever the cipher text we want to decrypt through the console. Then we arrange it as a character array and looped it to count how many characters are there in the ciphertext for each character. This was done for the displaying purpose. But the important, and most necessary thing we do is, through the loop, we identify what is the character with maximum counts. So for the above code segment we get the following output.
: 9
A : 2
B : 5
C : 3
D : 1
F : 3
H : 2
J : 7
K : 1
M : 1
N : 7
Q : 2
R : 1
U : 3
V : 3
W : 4
X : 3
max char : J
"J" is the character with maximum count we first encounters in the text.
People who involved with cryptography for a long time had identified that the four letters A, E, O, and T account for approximately 40 percent of all letters used in standard English text. So this "J" could be either 1 of these 4 characters. So next what we are doing is replacing "J" with 1 of these 4 characters and create the new alphabet. Let's start with "A".
If we go through this createAlphabet(maxChar, choosedChar) method we can findout how the new alphabet was created according to the Ceaser cipher using the fact that the English alphabet has 26 characters.
So now with the second code segment we can get the following final output.
Original Text : WHATS INANA MEARO SEBYA NYOTH ERNAM EWOUL DSMEL LASSW EET
If we analysed the text we can identify that the text include some meaningful words without meaningful separation. Let's see manually if we can separate the words.
WHATS IN|A|NA ME|A|RO SE|BY|A NY|OTH ER|NAM E|WOUL D|SMEL L|AS|SW EET
WHATS IN A NAME A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET
Victory!! We nailed the Romeo and Juliet. "what matters is what something is, not what it is called."
Check whether you got the following answers for other exercises. And see where does the messages comes from.
2) Cipher Text : oczmz vmzor jocdi bnojv dhvod igdaz admno ojbzo rcvot jprvi oviyv aozmo cvooj ziejt dojig toczr dnzno jahvi fdiyv xcdzq zoczn zxjiy
Max Char : O - 18 counts
Replaced By : T

By Logan Pearsall Smith
3) Cipher Text : pbegu uymiq icuuf guuyi qguuy qcuiv fiqgu uyqcu qbeme vp
O.. Oh..O!!! now it's time to change the approach. What approach should we take now?
PS : I found a nice little tool called SyntaxHighlighter to embed source codes nicely on the blog posts. Isn't that look smart.

Perspectives
One incident, different angles.
People see things differently. It's very rare thing to see everyone has the same opinion about the same thing. But if it happens, it means, they share a common thing; thing makes them zing.
Inkaar. I will never watch it, if Sudhir Mishra's name was never mentioned in Ra Irapaana, as a voice cut from Thissa Abesekara. Inkaar, rejection, as the name given. But I think the most suitable name should be "perspectives". Two people, same incidents involved in, taken it in different perspectives. Being a part of the audience, you have to decide which angle you should look in. It's a different kind of love story. When I say different, it is a shocking difference. Not the ordinary type. Really not the same old ordinary.
And finally, that wonderful moment, when people realizes they had different perspectives about a same matter........... it really zings! Isn't it?

Saving Guts
People really need to have guts in their mind to publicly perform a action in saving someone in this era we are living with.
Why people gather around incidents. To watch it...to witnesses it..to be amazed...to wonder... or..is it..really to help it? And why some people just ignore incidents and passes it away. Is it they just don't shit about it or doesn't have time to care? Wondering what the answer would be.
So this incident happened at Kirulapona in the evening I saw was a little boy, stucked in top of a huge tree rescued by the fire depot with huge public gathering around. So this thing knocked my head to remind me of a something I witnessed few months ago. Well...Yah, the witness and amazed part. Really ashamed why it was not the help it part.
How many of you have seen little kittens wobbling around the traffic. So how many of you just passed them thinking the life as it is, with worries but no actions. So this lil Kitty was wondering around the middle of a yellow crossing confused with all the noise of motor traffic where to go. It was just few seconds behind to see the heaven, if some rescue operation was not initiated. So this young fellow who was going to crossing the road with his friend, bended on his way without any thought, took the lil one without any hesitation, and put it in a sideway. Really really appreciated. I mean, street animals, health, bacteria, infections and people are watching you definitely when you are doing something abnormal ; what a lot to mind. But saving a life, that is the priority. So three cheers for all the guts.

Leadership, Clashes and Crashes!!
It's a very rare thing to see where those three are not met with each other. When the Leadership is there, certainly Clashes arrive just after it. And obviously you can see Crashes are somewhere nearby. It's very very difficult thing to deal with these three people.
So the recent one, StarGate. I'm not talking about the whole alien or planetary gig in there, but the thing what they called SGC. With arrogant Colonel O' Neal, Dr Major Carter, historian Dr Jackson and warrior Tealc. So these 4; Jack, Samantha, Danny and Tealc was the team SG1 who traveled from planet to planet as explorers. "We are peaceful explorers" as Danny boy says. :) It's a amazing thing to see how these 4 people who have different personal traits were smoothly lead by this arrogant but smart Colonel Jack O Neal. He is not intelligent as Sam. Not calm as Danial or not strong as Tealc. But smarter, experienced, and caring than anyone. As the leader, he lead the team, takes the decision and be responsible to it.
Not only StarGate. StarTreck, StarWars or what ever the spacey and galaxy thing, you can see this leadership, and it's not just only a planetary talk. Because it's all about teamwork and a person who focus them to do it.

Best New Year Morning Ever
What if the first person you saw early in the new year morning on the road was a POLICEMAN with a GUN, and he just ask from YOU for a direction, and that was specifically to the LAWYER'S Scheme.
Nice ha?
Guess I'm going to break the law somewhere in this year, isn't it?
But wonderfully at the end, he just walk infront of me and saw the way and yell "Thank You Miss" with a smile. Guessing it was his first duty call. Bless my new year, bless his career.
Thanks for Raa Irapaana, I'm observing things in a story telling way now. After the story of the bank counter at the time where there was humanely manual banking to deal with human to human. Really touchy story to open the mind.
So happy 2014. Bloom it with joy.
