Nikita, Altheenai , Duishen, Ulyana touched my heart since I was 7 yrs old, thanks to Mr. Dedigama's clever and unique translations. I remember reading about his death in ' Vidusara ' and felt so sad as a teenager. Now being a mum and been away from my motherland and mesmerising scenes from Hantana , I still treasure my collection of Russian novels, which give me tranquil sensation whenever I read them. Thanks Sumedha for your touching blog, I was googling on Aitmatav's work and happened to pop into yours...
