Independence Day

-

      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 Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil leaders arose against this injustice. They provided their leadership for the independence struggle. They wanted to regain the lost national glory. In the independence struggles, our hearos, ancestors sacrificed their lives in winning this freedom. They didn't give up their effort through obstacles came. 


     Finally our national hearos could release this country from their grasp. When it comes to the commitment and courage of them, they are immortal in our hearts forever. ❤️💐 So, as greatful Sri Lankans, we pay our gratitude to those hearos by commemorating their noble sacrifice. The government plays the main role in commemoration the national hearos. 

    Every year the main celebration is held at the Galle Face under the state patronage. On that day, our three forces march, mirroring their military strength. In addition to that, prisoners are released by the government, making the independence. Except that, ordinary people involve in religious observances to pay their respect to their hearos. In my opinion, if we can live under one flag without causing problems, it will be the highest respect for them. ❤️🇱🇰🙏

      This year we left for katharagama in Friday 16th April. We left home at about 4 am in the morning. We go on this trip every year with our relatives. We stopped to get our breakfast around 9 am. We prepared food from home. A friend of our uncle's joined us on this trip. We reached to the katharagama sacred area around 1 pm. 🙏🌼❤️First we worshipped at the kiriwehera and then went to the katharagama dewalaya. On the way we met various animals like Elephants and Peacocks. After all this work was done we get our lunch. That night we stayed at my uncle's friend's house.

Journey of a Soul

  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 🌻👣🌻
