Golden memories of a book-Heartfelt hours in my life (Part 06)

 There is no aspect of life,which is denied of books📚.Through reading interesting books not only I adjust my life,but gain pleasure and amusement also.Being an ardent reader I have read a number of good books.So among them ,today I thought of introducing the book ; "Swami and Friends ".It was written by the great Indian writer  R.K.Narayan.


Let's have a look about  the book.Swami👦 who is the main character,an ordinary boy of ten- eleven years.studies in grade six standard in Albert Mission School.His behavioural patterns are quite funny and peculiar.He feels lazy to go to school🏘️.He is innocent but naughty.Swami has so many friends.Some are studious but some are not.Rajam,the police superintendent's son becomes his favorite.Swami is small in size but get caught in big troubles.The way he reacts to his multifarious companions,is very interesting.At home he feels lonely .But  granny often comforts him.He feels cozy and snug when granny is there.Good for nothing Mani,shields little Swami in all his troubles.

As I felt, here the writer R.K.Narayan weaves the simple story around an enchanting plot that caters to almost all the children in the world 🌎 .Moreover he creates thousand and one colourful imageries with his simple style of diction which is very very selctive.Even the adult characters move smoothly so as to enhance the suspense of the reader till the end of the story.Here,the oldest granny always tries to come to the attainment level of innocent Swami tough she has been ignored by others.She towers the plot to highlight the central figure Swami. As well as ,this great Indian author who had been catering a lot for children gives numerous underlying messages through wit and humour .Even in the final chapter ,the day Rajam departs from Swami to go back to his native land is really touching.

Anyway,I love this book📗 very much😍 as it says a credible story with incredible series of events.Little Swami leads numerous escapades with his boon companions,Rajam, Mani,Somu,Sankar and Pea. For me it is a store house of norms and values which states that children need to be loved and recognized by the elders.Also adults shoud not derate team spirit among little ones for their selfish needs ,and also punishments don't serve any purpose for the child who craves for love & recognition .

With all these valuable messages I enjoyed "Swami and Friends "   a lot as an unforgettable master piece of R.K.Narayan. And also I never get tired of reading it.So now you can guess how much I   love ❤ this

A Visit to a Botanical Garden -Heartfelt hours in my life (Part 05)

Image
 Everyone loves flowers 🌺🌺🌺.Normally no one hates to visit flower gardens.Specially Botanical Gardens are the delights of nature🏞️.So,recently I happened to visit one of the famous gardens at Asgiriya a bit close to Gampaha.Though it is an old garden ,it indicates the glamour and grandeur of Sri Lankan flora and fauna. Abruptly on our way to Udugampala,we visited it and was not pre-arranged.But the visit was really interesting and wonderful as there was no crowd.When I was roaming among the neat lawns of the premises I felt so much about the role played by the plant kingdom 🍃in the sustaining the life on this planet🌍.How miraculous the way the plant life maintains the animal life by trapping the solar energy to provide animals their source of energy. I was deeply touched by the lush green creepers and huge clump of trees in rows.Before noon we left the garden to continue our journey.Likewise, I could add another heartfelt hours to my life through this visit😍😍.

When I was in grade 10,me and my friends planned to go on a trip by train to Nuwara Eliya.Luckily ,We were able to make our wish a reality.As I remembered it was the August  vacation .We were to spend the whole vacation in Nuwara Eliya.My father  had booked seats in a luxury train for us to travel up to Nanu Oya.We boarded the train at 5.30 a.m. from the Fort Railway Station.My parents and sisters joined this trip.We had our breakfast in the train.I must say that it was so enjoyable . The train was so comfortable as all the compartments were  air conditioned.We could see the surroundings through the huge window panes.As the train approached the central hills ,the climate became colder.We were traveling through the beautiful tea estates and the plantation of fresh  vegetables.The cascading water falls among the green mounta...
