This September dedications goes to TB after watching "Thilaka ha Thilakaa" (තිලක හා තිලකා) for the second time. 2015 is a good year to watch it for the second time to get a better understanding of its politics. The movie is created from mix of the TB's three books "විලම්බීත", "තිලක", "තිලක හා තිලකා" ("Vilambeetha", "Thilaka", "Thilaka ha Thilakaa"). And story of "Thilaka ha Thilakaa" depict the real life story of TB(Tikiri Bandara) and his wife, Thamara. As "Apu" trilogy came from the Bengal culture, "Thilaka" trilogy is the brand for Sri Lanka.
There were lot of popular books from great authors in the past with the flavor of the cultural, social and political situation at that time. Such as in Gunadasa Amarasekara stories. Wonder if such a thing like now.

Hope to grab some second hand books of T. B Ilangaratne (ටී බී ඉලංගරත්න) as Yamu.lk said for this September rather than new books. Because it will give the real flavor in olden smell of bygone stories.
