About Thiyara De Silva
- Thiyara was born on the beautiful paradise isles of Sri Lanka in 2004 and gained her love of people from her homeland. She's lived on the island for all her nineteen years but her imagination stretches far beyond the borders of her country.
- Her debut collection of Poetry and Prose, Between Day And Night, was published in July 2023 and consists of pieces written across two years.
"The book is meant to be a companion to people whenever they feel alone or want someone around. The global pandemic put a lot of things into perspective in terms of how little I appreciated the ability to just talk to people whenever I wanted. Amidst lockdown I couldn't quite share my happy moments or express the sadder ones over the phone and it got quite lonely. So I wrote a book."
Between Day And Night is a book that will stand in that empty space for a second and make you feel less alone with your thoughts. It explores a variety of ideas, topics and perspectives; allowing you to pick and choose the mood you want to be in!
You're just like me if you...
...love reading♡
It might not come as a surprise that this author is a huge bookworm. Thiyara doesn’t discriminate in her reading (other than to judge a book by the cover) and will breeze through fantasy novels, science fiction thrillers, non fiction biographies, self help books, historical fiction, manga, and fanfiction alike. Anything that catches her interest has got her, hook, line and sinker.
...feel creative:)
From writing to drawing and painting, sculpting to jewellery making, pottery to origami, baking to journaling, coding, and photography. This girl's done it all, or, at the least, she's tried! If you share one or more of these hobbies, then she'd love to chat about it! Jacks of all trades are welcome in this community.
...play sports!
Easy to forget until she's punching you in the face but this young lady is a Black belt in Karate and a former national gold medalist!
During her time in school she was Captain of the Karate team and a part of several other sports teams including Athletics, Squash and Synchronised Swimming (Artistic Swimming).
coming soon...
Watch this spot for something interesting soon!
