Your work also gave me the impression that you might be a maverick in your field of work. But the previous titles mentioned were revelations for Sri Lankan audience and despite the mixed reception and criticism received as a whole, I believe it has won the hearts of many viewers and specially a couple of people I knew closely, who were fortunately blessed with good senses to creative forms of art and to identify and appreciate once they experience them. I wish I could say the same thing about your initial work 'Prabathaya', but that didn't impress me that much. Ever since I had the opportunity to watch 'Dunhinda Addara' and 'Diyakata Pahana', I became an instant admirer of your authenticity which you demonstrated on those Tele Dramas with immense steadfastness. That's purely because I am an avid fan of your work.
But In my own self-righteous mindset, I found an excuse to justify myself for calling you Asoka.
You are neither a friend nor a colleague of mine, a status which wouldn't permit me to call you such. I am well aware of the fact that in a polite society a person doesn't address someone else by their name unless that person is being asked to. Dear Asoka, First of all let me apologize for addressing you by your first name.
