A Sinhala-language book by Nadee Sarathchandra, written as an address to life itself. The title transliterates the Hindi-Urdu phrase dear zindagi — dear life — and the pieces inside are built around that form of direct address.
The material is a collection of reflective writing drawn from encounters with different people and different experiences. Its subject is human life treated as something rare and worth living with meaning, and its recurring concern is how to keep looking at that life positively, and with a measure of equanimity, when things go against you. Difficulty and challenge are part of what the writing deals with; so is the attempt to find value and beauty alongside them.
Readers who follow Sinhala writing on everyday life and outlook, rather than fiction, are the audience here. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo, a long-established Sri Lankan publishing house.
One point for buyers outside Sri Lanka: the text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English translation within the book, so reading fluency in Sinhala is needed.
