Journey of a Soul

Image
  Journey of a Soul    🌏❤️🌍 our existence comes to record when we are finally free from our our ocean of life, but soon we realize that it was one of the safest places we could ever reside    We breathe our first breath of air with loud cries , that was the only time we could survive under water or with no light  Our body grows over time, letting us fly with our dreams high up in the sky  The same body will trap us within, can’t walk to bed or take a stroll outside  We came in to the world packed inside a womb , we’ll leave the world buried in a six foot soil vault  Why do we worry so much and forget why we arrived πŸŒ»πŸ‘£πŸŒ»

Independence Day

Image
      As Sri Lankans, many public holidays are celebrated by us. But among them, we consider one public holiday as one of the most important holiday. That day is independence day. This independence day falls on 4th of February every year. All Sri Lankans celebrate this day as one body. Actually people don't think about their religion race or anything in celebrating this special day. They all unite under one flag with the propose commemorating this day.       Many year ago, our country was invaded by some foreign nations. They come to this country to exploit the wealth, production, prosperity of this country. After they caught the power of the country, our people had to live according to their governance. They damaged the long standing tradition and culture of this country. Further, they harassed Buddhist hugely. They took away the crops and the other production of us. Our Sinhala innocent people were considered as their slaves. Fortunately, some Sinhal...

       The evening is the best time of the day.πŸ’— In the evening we get to get together at home. Our parents return after work.

They are working hard for our future.My two brothers and I waited impatiently until evening. πŸŒ…πŸŒŒ       It the evening we sit in the garden either talking or enjoying scenes. Because this is the only time we can have a friendly conversation with our parents. 😍❤️We see people going home to their loved ones. They carry bags with foodstuffs.

Life

🌱 LIFE 🌱 Smell of the grass and the breeze of the land,  A fiery fur ball at the Far East Sea , Chirping of the birds over the horizon I see  Dawn breaks to Day as the clock’s needle flee  A question to your mind and a thought to your heart , where does life begin and how long does it last  At the cry of a baby , or at the first step of a child , where does it lead and where does it hide  I Find myself lost in the dark ,  but not just at nights Endless rush at the roads and louder echos of cries , who’ll win , the great white lines or the 3 glowing lights   Riding on the bus , having the window the to the right , the passing of the left seems slower to what is closer to my sight  Is it the physics or the biology of my eyes , I ponder over it as the clouds glide by  Is it why I am lost all the time , I’ve held on to you so desperately, that I don’t recognize   Which color lines do I cross , what vehicle do I ride , I loosened my grip an...

A Visit to the Zoo

       At the end of the last year we went to the Zoo at Dehiwala. I went with my parents and my brothers. The zoo is a large enclosure with trees, ponds, cages and various sorts of buildings. Live animals are kept in those buildings for exhibition. We bought tickets at the entrance and entered the zoo. First we visited the aquarium.🐠🐟 There were a large number of ornamental fish there. They were kept in glasses tanks.      Then we went to another section. There we saw apes and monkeys.πŸ’They provided us cinsiderable amusement. We saw children gathering in front of these cages. They watched the actions of those interesting animals.   Our next stop was at the birds section.🦚🐦They were kept in cages. There were various kinds of parrots and other birds. Tiger, lions, bears and cheetahs were housed in different rows of strongly built cages. There were sign boards putup on the cages written the words "Dangerous animals".

We reached to the katharagama sacred area around 1 pm. πŸ™πŸŒΌ❤️First we worshipped at the kiriwehera and then went to the katharagama dewalaya.

The City Life

Image
            I like to live in the city. πŸ™️There are several reasons for my choice. My ambition is to be a musician.😍🎼 That's why I like to the city life. The city has all the facilities for higher education. There are good schools and well qualified teachers.             There are sufficient quick transport facilities in the city. πŸš‰πŸ›£️ As such school children need not waste their valuable time to board buses. In the villages they have to wait hours and hours at the bus halts for their buses. There are more medical facilities too in the city than in the village. We can go either to a government hospital or to private hospital. A part form that there are regular clinics in the city. So we need not worry when we fall ill.                  There are more facilities for entertainment in the city. πŸ˜πŸ’— Cinemas, theatres, restaurants, swimming pools, beaches, parks and sports clubs are ...
