MY SECOND MOTHER

-

 When you grew up with your sister, that is with whom you share parents create  a bond that is not usually easily broken. Sometimes you fight like cats  and dogs, sometimes you are the best of friends. And then there are those friends who are like siblings. You have either shared life experiences together that have cemented that relationship or you spent so much time together, they really were part of your family.

I have just one and growing up we could not have been more different. I was quiet, introverted, and compliant, while she entered the world with a head full of bright black hair. With four years between us, We didn't play together or ever attend the same schools at the same time. To be honest, there were times when we really didn't like each other. 

For me, having a sister has been like having a built-in-best friend. I'm blessed to have one biological sister and a long time friend who I count as a sister. I'm so thankful for them both. Both of these relationships exude a quiet acceptance as we just enjoy being together. We can ask each other anything, talk about anything, and just genuinely have the other's best interest in mind.  We may not always agree, but with a sister-type relationship that doesn't matter. Nothing can change our deep friendship and love for the other.

    With my biological sister, we grew up in the same house so there's just a level of understanding there that is unmatched. My sister is always kind, cheerful, diligent and godly. I'm thankful to call her sister and I love my sister.💋

My Family

                             There are four members in my family. There are  my mother, father, sister and me. I wish to make the most of my days to fill them with joy, love and laugh. A family is one of the greatest gift god has given to all living creatures on the earth including humans.                           The joy of living with your parents, fighting with your siblings over petty can just make me smile the moment I think of it. Whenever we go in this world and whatever we may achieve, our heart and soul will always be in our home because it is where our beautiful family is. Nothing in this world can be stronger than the bonding of the blood. Sometimes the family members have differences of opinion for silly things but our family that supports us during our up and downs.                   ...

HOW I WOULD SPEND MY LEISURE TIME

                                  I would like to spend my leisure time with my family and be active and also I like to discover new places. My idea on how to spend a leisure time is to take my family on an interesting trip. It doesn't matter how far it is. We can walk in the forests, zoo and beach. We can listen to the wind blowing in the trees, We can make campground or picnic on the beach under the starry sky. Everything is possible, you just only need to want to do it. This is my idea how I would like my leisure time, to be with family.                               We really don't have too much time on our hands, as a society, as a species and even more so as individuals. If you clock in about 7 hours of sleep, 8 hours at the university and you have about 9 hours in you day. This is without considering your daily ritual...

  We celebrate the sun festival in the month of April. Sinhala and Tamil new year is the biggest celebration in Sri Lanka. Usually, Sinhala and Hindu New Year falls on April 13th and 14th, symbolizing the ending of the old year, and the beginning of the New Year. It's based on the sun's movement from the Meena Rashiya to the Mesha Rashiya Sri Lankan welcomes the new year in April. It's the much awaited time of the year with the pleasant call of Koha.  The celebration is full of firecrackers and fireworks. The New Year rituals initially start with a neutral period called the "Nonagathe". So, during this period people keep off from all the work and engage in religious activities. This is the time slot between the ending of the old year and the dawning of the New Year. We prepare in advance to welcome the New Year from cleaning and repainting their households to buying new clothes for family members and preparing traditional confectionery. When the New Year Auspiciou...
