The things that I want to do before dying  If someone was born on this earth, he will die inevitably. To the best of my knowledge, The person who was born should do something to this earth. It must be a service. He must be a person who will never be forgotten by the hearts of anyone. we can see such characters in the world. Some of them are Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Anagarika Dharmapala, W.D. Amaradeva. It doesn't matter in what field.  I have also a lot of dreams, targets, and hopes. In this period, I want to complete my degree and to get a good job that I am happy. They are the only targets of my life. I need them to have economical stability to make my dreams come true. I need to go on a tour of Switzerland. I have never gone abroad by now. 😢😢And also, I want to help poor and helpless children to learn. I want to look after my parents as they get older too. I always need to see their smile. My last wish is to donate the organs of my body after my death. Then, someon...

 Some kinds of music that I usually listen   I have heard a lot of different styles of music. Jazz, romantic music, classical music, pop music, creative simple songs are some of them. It depends on my mood or situation.  I listen to songs of various languages such as Sinhala, English, Tami, Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic. Among them, I prefer to listen to Hindi songs. Even though I don't know the Hindi language,  I feel that language. It is a very emotional language that I've met. It can take me to a different world. And also I like to listen to symphony music by the greatest musicians Beethoven and Mozart. Especially, when I am in trouble or feeling down, I always play their audios and videos. I feel like, it can heal my mind at once. Sometimes while I'm sleeping, I listen to that calmful music. Not only that, when I'm in a chill mood, I listen to pop music and fast rhythmic songs also. I sing and dance with others. I am following Hindustani classical music for my degre...

 Some crazy memories of childhood... I'm the only child in my family, I have no siblings. So, I grew as a free bird. Everyone in my family paid attention to me. I was the pet of them.😁😀 I was a little mischievous girl,. And also, I was a stubborn character. As a result of it, my mother always punished me.😂  There is a small lake in our village. One day I had gone there without informing my parents. They were scared because I wasn't at home. They had searched for me everywhere. After a little while, my uncle could find me. He took me to the home and my mother punished me well with a stick. I remember,  I cried for several hours. I don't afraid of spiders. One day, I caught a spider and put it into a box. Then I gave it to my aunt as a gift. She took it happily. As soon as she opened the box, the spider jumped out of the box. My aunt screamed. She scolded me and she told to my mom. Can you imagine what happened after that?😁😂 Anyway, these crazy things are unforgettable...

Advantages and disadvantages of working at home...   First of all, I would like to say to you, these are only my ideas. They may be different from each other. During this pandemic situation, we have to stay at the home. We are spending confined lives in the home for 2 years. I can see some advantages of it. We can do our studies without much expense. Basically, we have to pay only the internet bill. If we go to the university, we have to pay for transport, clothes, extra food, etc. There is another advantage also. Students and lecturers come to the session punctually. So, students can learn well in the relevant time. As a student of the university, I see a lot of disadvantages also. The time that we are spending now is our golden period. We are not able to get memorable experiences from university life. Even we don't know who the batch-mates are. So, I think, this corona situation is a curse for us. Not only that, but it is not good in terms of our physical fitness also, because we...

 Some lessons I've learnt from mistakes that I made        No one is perfect and we are not superhumans. All of us make mistakes...         So, I have been making a lot of mistakes since my childhood too, but I always try to minimize my mistakes and make sure not to do them. However, I've never hurt my parents' feelings. I'm actually proud of myself. Every mistake that I've made, taught me a lesson and helped me to choose the right path.        Now, I would like to bring out only one such mistake. I have a big weakness. It is forgetting. I was the bass drummer of my school's band. We had decided a day to practice for our band show. I was also at that meeting but I forgot the date that we've fixed. Every one of my band had come to practice on the day that we've decided, I was only one member who didn't come. Everyone is embarrassed by my mistake. I regretted it a lot but nothing is to do.        So, we t...

 My Hero My mom is the moon in my world and my dad is the sun in that world. Actually, he is my hero. He has suffered a lot for me. No one like him would suffer for me. When I fell ill, he had picked me up and ran towards the hospital in my childhood. There is not any difference in the present too. He tries to do the best for me. He doesn't let me feel sad. When I'm in a happy mood, he also is glad to see that too. He likes to treat me like a baby. And he always says that I am still his baby.👶👼 He is used to bring something when he comes back home. He has never punished me. When my mom punishes me, he comes and saves me from her.😁 After that, he points out my faults and explains how to go on the right path. He expects only one thing from me, that's what he likes me to study well and become a good citizen in the society. Therefore, I always try to make his dreams come true.  I love my hero very much...       

A Rainy Day  Rain gains a feeling that is indescribable in words. Last Sunday was such a day. It was a free day for me. There were no lectures. The climate was turned into a dreadful situation. I had also a sleepy mood. Suddenly, the current was gone. I reached to my window and sat down on the wall with a cup of hot coffee. I couldn't bear the cold, so I wore my jersey. Then, I reminded my past memories happily. I whispered a song by playing guitar. The window was foggy and I drew some murals with my finger on the window. Then, I started to read a detective book. After a little while, my little sister came to me with a chessboard in her hand. We played some time happily. She always cheated on me. 😄 After that, we opened the window and put our hands out.😂😁 In fact, It is not incorrect to say that rain is a miracle experience that I've seen.    

Met an old friend... It was a birthday party of my friend in university. It was held on last Friday. A lot of my friends gathered together for this party. We enjoyed it very well. 😍😎  At once, I saw a familiar face. He was a handsome guy. I saw that he was also looking at me curiously. I asked my friend who that person is. She said that he is a relative of her. After a little while, he came towards me. I was suddenly shocked. He smiled at me and said '' hello''. And also, he asked me " can you recognize me Dinu? ". Actually, I didn't have any memory of him. I tried to remind him but in vain. At last, he introduced himself, "I'm Ruwantha. Can't you remind me?". Then, I reminded him. He was a classmate of my primary school. He had completely changed, then how can I recognize him? He had a beard all over his face and he was a strong, young man. We talked about our sweet childhood. That meeting really happened by chance. We danced together....

The Best Restaurant In My Town... I'm a foody girl.😉 I like to try various meals. So, I visit restaurants and cafes. Among them, Hedewa is the best place that I've met.   It is situated in Veyangoda, but it is located in a rural environment. So, that environment is very quiet. Especially, they have a great and smart menu plan. They have Italian, Sri Lankan, Indian, Thai food collections. So, we can choose any food item as we wish. According to me, I like to have their spaghettis. I've had that meal twice by now. And also I prefer to have their desserts too. Especially, brownies with ice cream is the best dessert that I've had. It's actually delicious. Apart from these facts, I was impressed by their friendly customer service. Chefs also help to choose the best meals. And, they have reasonable prices for these food items. So, I think you have to visit this place and try new recipes.       

My Favorite App On My Phone   There are 73 apps on my mobile by now. Among them, 33 applications are additional apps that have gotten through the play store. In fact, I can't do a lot of things without my phone. because it has so many important documents. Social media, gaming, music, pdf readers & converters, translators are some of the apps on my phone. Among all, my favorite and the most used application is WhatsApp . It is a social media application and  Mobile data or Wi-fi is required to operate it. It is mainly used for chatting. And also, it is used to put status. Both audio and video calls can be taken through this application. Not only emojis,  but we can also put stickers. For these valuable features, many people all over the world use this app. From my side, I use this app for my personal chats. And also, there are many groups that have been built by communities of  my university. Among some groups help for my studies too such as the group of notes, th...

My Camping life   I love camping very much. I am a member of the nature club in our town. So, we go for camping once a month. Therefore, we get a fresh experience every month. There is a team of guides in our club and they lead us.   We've visited a lot of places. Sometimes we go hill country, beach sides, etc. Some of the places that we've visited are Haputhale, Knuckles mountain range, Belihul Oya river camping,  Ussangoda beach, and Trincomalee beachside, etc...But, the zone that I like most is hill country, because I love that cool climate, but there is a problem also. 😬😫 I'm afraid of leeches. However, I try to get rid of them.😏  The best place that I've met in my camping life is the Knuckles mountain range. It was a huge task because we have to hike mountains and that was a big challenge for us because we had to find our own path to climb over the mountain, but we never gave up our challenges. We met many waterfalls also such as Kota Ganga, Sari Ella, J...

Ice Cream  I love ice cream very much. I can have ice cream at any moment. I don't care if it is a rainy day or a hot summer day. 😂😆😈 In fact, ice creams are magical food items that I have experienced.   There are a lot of flavors of ice cream, but  I am not able to decide on a certain flavor,🍦🍨 but I prefer butterscotch ice cream. And also, I like chocolate, strawberry, cappuccino, fruit & nut, and vanilla ice creams too. I've tried and enjoyed various brands of ice creams, but my favorite is '' Imorich' '. Ice creams of that brand have a heavenly taste. Among these brands' ice creams, I prefer to have the cone of chocolate with almonds. It has a unique taste and contains with full of chocolate.  I and my friends used to try various ice creams from ice cream shops in our town every weekend during A/Ls. Although A/Ls had finished,  we get together and go there. 😆 Actually, we are mad with ice creams.   

 Doing Workouts  Doing workouts is a very essential thing to one's life because it is a factor that determines a person's physical fitness.  We can see that there is a busy life in current society. So, exercises have been missed by many people. It will be a very dangerous situation in the future because non-infectious diseases are arising by now. Some of them are diabetes, cholesterol, and heart problems. As a result of it, the future society will be full of patients.  We can't get a balanced diet at every moment. So, our body absorbs unwanted calories. So, we have to burn them otherwise we have to face many physical and mental problems. It will put weight and will be fat. According to my experience, especially girls have to face an important issue. That's what there are not suitable dresses for fat girls. Choosing dresses that they wish is very difficult for fat girls. So, girls should focus on their body shapes. Rhythmic exercises such as  Zumba, Aerobic exerc...

 Trying New Recipes There are so many activities that I'm doing in my leisure time. Among them, trying new recipes also gets a specific place. My mother is always with me to do them. Her experiences and advice are very valuable to succeed in my attempts.  Normally, I prefer to try to prepare sweets. I have prepared Boondi, Potato toffees, milk toffees by now. But, I couldn't prepare Boondi properly, because of the problem of the texture of the mixture. 😂😂😁 I can make milkshakes, faluda, and smoothies too. I know to make cakes also. Some of them are butter cake, coffee cake, chocolate cake, and cupcakes. I have made birthday cakes for the birthday parties of my family members.🎂 And also, I have had good comments also. It is a great pleasure to me.😍 I can also prepare various desserts such as milk puddings, jelly puddings, pancakes, wattalappan, butterscotch pudding, and caramel pudding. On special days, I prepare special fried rice and noodles recipes for dinner or lunch. ...
