* The lyrics are the English translation of my Tamil song

If you think with a focused mind, what you think will happen.
Let us think with focused minds; we will win in life.

My love! I understood the strength of thoughts,
Through you, I realized the strength of love.
You were far away. You came into my thoughts.
You astonished me. You thought with a focused mind.

If you think with a focused mind, what you think will happen.
Let us think with focused minds; we will win in life.

You filled my heart, my love! by V.N.Giritharan

* The lyrics are the English translation of my Tamil poem.

You filled my heart, my love!
You filled my heart, my love!

In the early morning, my love!
You'll come swaying, gently, my love!
Like a cool moon in the soft darkness,
You'll walk slowly, my love!

Holding a book to your chest,
You'll walk looking at the ground, my love!
When you look at the ground, a smile
Will softly spread across your face and vanish, my love!
You filled my heart, my love!

You can earn through Facebook too!

Friends! Watch this video completely. It might definitely help you. It has been very helpful to me.

This video shows that Facebook can actually help you economically as well. Many people do not know the healthy uses of Facebook. Instead, they are more interested in coming with fake profiles and attacking others, stealing someone’s popular post and publishing it under their own name, or spreading slander about others. In reality, if Facebook is used in a healthy way, you can gain friendships through it, and you can also earn money. You can take your creations to many people. You can sell things. You can buy things. The list goes on.

In fact, Facebook has ways for its members to earn through the reels, posts, and photos they upload. Facebook’s MONETIZATION program is what helps with this. If you continuously post useful content on Facebook, Facebook itself will include you in this program. It will invite you to join. For that, you must have turned ON Professional Mode in your profile.

A Timeless Melody: 'Irandu Manam Vendum'!

One of the first films that comes to mind among Nadigar Thilagam's (Sivaji Ganesan's) movies is 'Vasantha Maaligai'. For me, this film is one of those time capsules that transport me back to my teenage years. All the songs in this movie are timeless melodies. They are songs that showcase the talent of K.V.Mahadevan known as Thirai Isai Thilagam. 

'Vasantha Maaligai' was produced by Vijaya Suresh Combines starring Sivaji. It was a huge success in Sri Lanka. I recall it ran for over 200 days in Wellington and Capital cinemas. During that period, a rumor also circulated that Gunaratnam, the owner of Wellington and Capital theaters at the time, had co-produced the film with Vijaya Suresh Combines. I don't know how true that is.

Architecture and Design! - V.N. Giritharan -

[ Digital Art (Google Nano Banana technique) by VNG.]

The main aspect of architecture is design. Architecture, in short, can be described as designing the built environment. A city is filled with buildings. Architecture is the creation of this environment filled with buildings. How does architecture create buildings? This is where design becomes crucial. Architecture is not just about constructing buildings. Before constructing and designing these buildings, many factors must be considered.

Initial Steps and Their Importance in Building Design!

If a client wishes to build a structure, an architect must consider the following: What is the purpose of the building? Without understanding the objective, a building cannot be designed. For example, a client might want to create a home to live in, or an educational institution, or a library. Clearly understanding the client's objective is the first step in terms of design activities.

 Makumbura Multimodal Transport Hub (MMC) by Google Nano Banana AI

A crucial aspect of urban design is to alleviate traffic congestion in bustling metropolises. In this regard, the Makumbura Multimodal Transport Centre (MMC) located in Kottawa town  represents a significant achievement. It can be considered an excellent building designed by incorporating methods used in developed countries to reduce traffic congestion (e.g., Park and Ride), adapted to Sri Lanka's climate, and with public usability in mind. The architectural firm that designed it is 'Muditha Jayakody Associates (MJA)' led by architect Muditha Jayakody.

Architectural critics consider the Makumbura Multimodal Transport Hub to be a significant building in Sri Lanka's contemporary architecture. The design of the MMC emphasizes natural light, ventilation, and integration with the environment. It embodies the principles of tropical modernism in architecture. As such, the MMC stands as a good example of contemporary tropical architecture and is considered a significant contribution by Muditha Jayakody Associates to contemporary architecture.

Hester Basnayake, Sri Lanka's Pioneering Female Landscape Architect, and Her Ideas on Landscape Architecture! - V.N. Giritharan -

Many people are generally not as familiar with landscape architecture as they are with architecture. In reality, landscape architecture is another art form intertwined with architecture and urban planning. Sri Lanka's historical monuments, which are of great historical significance, serve as evidence of how important landscape architecture was in urban planning. For example, the contribution of landscape architecture to the urban planning of Sigiriya is evident. Similarly, the influence of landscape architecture can be seen in ancient viharas, historically important royal buildings, and temples. Today, this field is taught as a degree program at the University of Moratuwa. This post aims to briefly introduce Mrs. Hester Basnayake, one of the pioneers in Sri Lankan landscape architecture.
