Sri Lankan English short stories usually focus on human relationships. They explore themes such as love, friendship, and family within the context of the Sri Lankan society. They may show how different generations interact, or how social status affects relationships, like in stories where a poor character has a complex relationship with a wealthy one.

One characteristic is the rich cultural backdrop. They often depict the unique Sri Lankan culture, like its festivals, family values, and religious beliefs. For example, in many stories, you can see the influence of Buddhism on the characters' actions and decisions.

Love in very short pieces

Love in very short pieces

 We always think that if we could go back to the past, had our time again, we could make the difference and control our destiny.  But you have to believe that all meetings and departures have their own reasons.   As the long years pass, we finally get used to no longer having each other, living alone in our own worlds, no longer yearning so much, and no longer feeling so many regrets.  If one day, we meet again at a corner of the city, will we still recognize each other, the person we once loved so deeply at first sight? No one knows. We always think that if lord gives us another chance, allowing us to go back to the past, to start over, we can correct our mistakes, control our fate, and have our time again, not realizing that in the myriad of timelines, we may have already reached a fork of the destiny, we have been losing each other. Everything that will happen, will happen eventually. So let's move forward, because that's our life.
