June 1 , (Daily Mirror) - Renowned Sri Lankan author Ramya Jirasinghe's 'Father Cabraal's recipe for love cake' bagged the coveted Gratiean Prize at the 31st Gratiaen Awards ceremony held at The Stables at the Mews.

Addressing the gathering after receiving her award Jirasinghe said that she never expected to win the award. "This year had one of the strongest shortlists of authors for the Gratiaen Prize. There were two previous winners and accomplished writers amongst the shortlist of authors. I thank the judges for the recognition they have given me."

The title is enticing and interesting and if it is published on-line, a good clickbait.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mrs Ramya on winning Gratiaen Prize. Her dedication and remarkable talent have truly shone through, and this recognition is well-deserved. Additionally, I fondly remember our collaboration on the "Kinder-not-hilfe" a project with an NGO that I worked for where her leadership and insights greatly inspired us all. It was a privilege to work under her guidance. Wishing her continued success in all her endeavors.
