🍃MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO VISIT🍃🍃

-

                            For centuries man and forest have lived in a close relationship. The forest fulfilled most of man’s needs. He collected resin, cane, timber, cardamom, cinnamon, and bee’s honey. He trapped the palms for treacle. The fallen branch gave him firewood and mushrooms in season. The trees gave him fruits and flowers. The forest yielded the most valuable medicines the barks, the herbs, and the flowers. The curative powers were well known. One such treasure trove is sinharaja our own tropical rainforest.                            

                           There are so many favorite places that I like to visit. However, there has a place that is my most favorite and liked to visit. That is the Sinharaja rain forest. According to legend, this big forest was once the kingdom of lions, so the name ‘Sinharaja Adaviya’ is the forest of the lion king. Is about 9 000 hectares in extent reaching Kalutota to Adweltota the Ratnapura district. The National Heritage Act of 1988 proclaimed it a national heritage protected by the Ministry of Lands and this is included in the world heritage list.


Sinharaja is a forest with a high degree of bio-diversity. It has a great many species of animals, birds, and insects.

Every inch of the forest is covered with vegetation. The trees have slender trunks which break out in a cluster of branches near the top. Their trunks are covered with climbing plants and rope-like creepers. The forest floor is dark and silent.   

                                      Researchers studying mosquitoes, spiders, butterflies, ants and reptiles are frequent visitors to this rich store house of specimens.
                                                       
 You can see the sambur, porcupine, mongooses, the wild pig, and many species of squirrels in their natural habitat. 

             









                                                   Today sinharaja is faced with many problems. Rare birds, butterflies, and reptiles are lost to sinharaja because of unscrupulous collectors of wildlife specimens. Most protected animals and plants are smuggled out of the country. 
       



            I like to go there because I like the beauty there had and I like the smell of nature. The environment is soothing. I like that feeling. If someone asked me that you like to go there again no doubt I like it that much.        

 
                     
                                          So it’s our duty to protect this great treasure trove. We should not harm it. We should make it a point that we should pass it on to our future generations as it is today.

😊Music & My Life😊

                             Music came to my life by accident. My loku amma's daughter told me to do music as a subject. That’s my chooti akka. When I was 13 years old, I went to my loku amma's house in Kurunegala for a vacation. At that me my chooti akka doing A/L after doing O/L. Chooti akka who did the Music for the GCE O/L. The day we went there, my sister played the violin and showed it to me. I said then that I like it too please give it to me too. So that day my sister taught me how to play the violin. Then I said that I love to do music and back then I was doing dancing as a subject at that time. I was fed up with the dancing subject. When I told akka that, she said, “if my sister likes music, it is not difficult to do as a subject and it is an easy subject”. So I thought back then that I was doing music because I like it. Hence, my first music teacher will be my chooti akka🥰💕.      ...

 👖MY FAVOURITE DRESSES👗

                                        Fashion is the most beautiful thing in the world. Everyone loves to do fashion. But I don't like fashion in my school days🙆. I don't know the reason that I don't like fashion at that time. Maybe the reason that I don't like it is that always everyone said to me to wear a frock😕. Because I don't like to wear frocks on my school days😶. It used to be said that girls wear beautiful frocks😑. I don't like to be asked to wear frocks😁. My national dress was denim & t-shirt when I went to school and still the same😎. But now there is no reluctance to wear frocks🙂. Now I like to wear frocks, but the easiest dress for me is trousers & t-shirts/shirts😌 .                                           My favorite outfits I wear right now are limite...

🌹DEAR SISTERS AND BROTHERS WHO MET IN SCHOOL LIFE 🌹

                          For the past 21 years of my life, my favorite time after I was little has been during my school years. But what I like most is grade 7,8,10,11 and A/Levels times. Those times are the most lovely periods that I like most.                           School times are the most relaxing and joyful times I have ever spent with my lovable friend.                           A time when life was filled with so many fond memories and tricks together to face challenges in those times.                           In addition to my school friends at school times, a few little sisters,  like the sisters joining my life. When I was involved in extracurricular activities at that school. Even today they are...
