A Dream Left Behind - The Whisper Of The Forest



In life, we all carry many dreams in our hearts. Some of those dreams come true, while others slowly fade away along the journey of life. They remain quietly within us as memories, sometimes bringing a sense of longing. One such dream in my life is my love for wildlife and forest conservation.


For a long time, I had a deep desire to walk through forests, to feel the cool breeze passing through the tall trees, and to observe the lives of animals in their natural habitat. I always imagined myself carrying a camera, wandering through the wilderness, capturing beautiful and rare moments of nature. To me, the true beauty of the world does not only exist in busy cities, but deep within the quiet heart of the forest.


Places like Yala National Park or the lush rainforest of Sinharaja Forest Reserve always inspired my imagination. I dreamed of watching animals move freely in their natural environment, listening to the songs of birds, and witnessing the harmony of nature that exists far away from human noise and chaos.


However, life does not always follow the path we imagine. Responsibilities, social expectations, and the practical needs of everyday life often force us to make difficult choices. Sometimes we have to sacrifice certain dreams in order to move forward. That is what happened to me as well.


Today, when I look back, there is a small place in my heart filled with regret. It is the place where that dream still lives - the dream of walking through forests, observing wildlife, and capturing the beauty of nature through a camera lens. Unfortunately, it became one of those dreams that I could never fully achieve.




Yet, that dream has never completely disappeared. It still lives quietly within me, like a soft whisper carried by the wind through the trees. Perhaps one day, I will finally find myself walking through a forest path, surrounded by the sounds of nature, watching animals live freely in the wild, and capturing those precious moments through a camera.


Until that day comes, the forest will remain a dream that continues to live in my heart. 🌿📷

Punch and my childhood

Image
 When I was little, one day I got a teddy bear. Usually, boys don’t buy teddy bears, but I kept it next to me on my bed so I wouldn’t feel lonely. At that time, I thought of it as my older brother. Because I don’t have any brothers or sisters, I kept it close to me like a sibling. But as time passed and I grew up, it slowly became just a normal teddy bear. Recently, I saw a baby monkey called Punch playing with a teddy bear because it didn’t have its mother. When I saw that, it reminded me of my childhood. Even today, that teddy bear is still with me. Now I have even given it a funny name  "Amara".😂 What I really want to say is this... When we don’t have love and affection in our lives, we sometimes look for those feelings even in lifeless things.

ONE DAY

Image
 One day I got sick. So I was on my way to get medicine. We had to get off the beautiful bridge over the river in our village and go to the dispensary. Oh my god...! I dont know if you will believe it. It was a really nice trip. Because I went there for a long time. So now that bridge is before my eyes. I happily walked over the bridge, surrounded by blue fields. Beyond the paddy fields, blue color mountains. Beautiful clouds like a blue sea. The river flows beautifully under bridge. I took a lot of pictures that day. They are very beautiful. Walk through a village at least once in your life and have an experience like this.

MY FAVORITE SONG

Image
  One thing I do often is listen to music. For me, music isn't just a simple pastime. It's a a way to soothe my mind, a world where my thoughts can rest. Specially when I listen to songs that calm the soul , all the sadness, heaviness and silent pain in my heart slowly fade away, as if they never existed. I have a deep love for old songs. I enjoy new songs too , and they have their charm. But my heart always gravitates toward the old ones - they hold a depth , a timeless truth that resonates differently.  When it's raining, with a cup of coffee in hand, listening to music - it's feeling words can hardly capture. In that moment , my mind becomes completely quiet. It's not just simple pleasure. It's an aesthetic feeling, where life's chaos fades away and everythinf aligns in a single , serene instant. Among all the songs I love , one stands out above the rest - Nirosha Virajini's "Oba Giyama Duka Mata Dee."   I first discovered this song throug...
