A day in the life

It was exactly 29.04.2015 When an incident happened at my aunt house. It was a very sad day. My uncle had died of a sudden illness that day. A very unexpected death and one that made me very sad. The body was brought home that afternoon and prepared for the funeral services.


An automatic nestcafe machine was brought along to entertain the funeral guests and ease the mourning. I used it to entertain the crowd by getting coffees for the guests. Eventually the services spanned out into early morning and around 1 am when I was going to the kitchen, when suddenly the Nescafe machine started working on its own at the same time. At the time I was quite young so I got very scared when I saw what was happening. Not only me but my elder brothers and sisters were also scared. We thought it was a ghost, as there were such believes surrounding strange things happening at funerals. When we told one of the adults they came to check the machine, it turns out it was only acting so strangely because of a malfunction. So there were no ghosts at the funeral.😂

An Unforgettable Victory

I participated in a music competition in 7th grade. There were four  rounds in the competition with  three judges assessing performance. There were not only school students but Sunday school students for this competition. That day, I trained well for the competition, and I had to compete for first place. I was a little scared and so nervous. This was not only for myself but for the reputation of my school as by competing, i was showing the talents of its cohort. There were 3 contestants representing my school alongside me. However, only I qualified for the final round. There were about a total of 150 contestants for this  competition.  Everyone performed and finally, they gave the results on the same day. They selected 10 out of 150 contestants. It was announced that I was ranked 10th out of 150 contestants. Hearing this I felt so happy that I could not speak. A girl representing my school came to the stage with me, carrying the flag of my school, and I received gift...

Colours Award Ceremony 2018-2022

I studied in Rathnavali Girls' High School in Gampaha. Our principal conducted a function for the school on 05.02.2023 to evaluate the talent of the children attending the school. National and international achievements of the students from the years 2018 to 2022 were appreciated. It was a very grand event. Mr. Arjuna Ranthunga was the guest of honor.  Our principal gave the welcome speech for the colorful main event. Different cultural aspects were presented by adding different colors from different backgrounds to the functions. I was also a color recipient of this main event and it made me very happy to have received the opportunity. By far the thing that made me the happiest was meeting my school friends again after 3 years, a definite highlight of the event. It was also the first and last time that I watched my younger sisters perform from the audience after having been on stage for so long. That day is another unforgettable day in my life.
