An excerpt from Bayan
Pramudith D Rupasinghe
Bayan
‘I always knew that happiness is composed with short living shallow feelings whereas the sadness is deep with a long life; often happiness dies and resurrects, and the sadness just fall dormant when we are happy knowing that we will wake it up sooner than later. Happiness is like a wave, sadness is like the innermost depth of an ocean.
In sadness, you remain introvert, left alone. In happiness you tend to be an extravert, you start sharing. In sadness you close your eyes; you delve deep within yourself. And when you grow old sadness grows with you leaving just an infinitesimal space for happiness. That is what many of us fail to accept and embrace as a part of growth�. He threw a look at his fingers and said.
‘Now, when I play my Bayan, my fingers constantly keep reminding me of the future which is shorter than my past�. He smiled showing his brown teeth.
