 Since I had not seen my school friends for a long time😍, we all decided to go for a walk after talking.. We all decided to go for a walk to Hanthana Bird Park.. We left early in the morning and reached Kandy by 9 am.. At 9.30 we boarded a Hanthana bus and went to the Bird Park.. We bought tickets and went inside...   Oh, it was so beautiful.. It was full of birds.. Lots of colorful birds.. We talked to them.. Gave them food.. We walked everywhere with great pleasure.. Since we had met my friends after a long time, we had a lot to talk about.. We walked there and came back to Kandy to have lunch...  We had lunch and walked around the Kandy lake again... We were very happy.. After school, we spent that day happily... We spent that day joking with everyone and spending that day with great love... Our friends It was new again .even though it was sad, we had to part ways that day .we went home hoping to have fun like that again one day..

 The Kathak dance tradition can be described as a dance tradition that I have studied very much. It can be described as a traditional dance tradition of India. I was fortunate to study this tradition in Sri Lanka. My teacher went to India to learn the Kathak dance tradition and came to Sri Lanka to teach us💝.  This dance tradition is performed in both Lasya and Thanda. The specialty of this dance is using the legs more. Since the dance is performed on the feet, the feet are tied with a rope. These are called Gunguru... This is done to seek blessings from the gods before wearing them on the feet... These rituals are unique to India.  I also get lucky to wear this Gunguru on my feet💪. The Gunguru, which is placed in front of the gods and blessed, is tied on the feet at an auspicious time. This is done by the teacher.. At the end of the ceremony, they perform dances to thank God and the teachers.. That day is a special day in my life😍😍.

 Since the New Year was approaching, our dance team was invited to a New Year's party😇. It was held at Brandex Fast Fashion. The party started at 2 pm. We had lunch and got ready for the party.  We presented 5 items. Everyone who was watching said that the item was beautiful. I looked different with the clothes I wore that day... I looked more beautiful than usual. Many people praised me for being beautiful. Although I felt a little proud, I thanked everyone without any greed. I am very happy that I was able to make myself beautiful on my own... The feeling of being made beautiful is very beautiful. I want to experience that feeling.  I learned that day that if you value yourself, you can always be happy .you feel proud of your self .you start loving your self .then no one can bring us down .I really love to see myself beautiful...but that was also the day...a day when I saw myself as beautiful.😍

Since it was a long journey😇, we left early in the morning. It was around 10 am when we reached Trincomalee. We went to Koneshwaram Temple first🙏. After paying homage to it, we next went to see a military camp. There we got to see things like guns, communication equipment, war tank bombs, etc.  We took lunch and went to see the coral reefs. It was my first time to have such an experience. They took us to a small island full of corals and gave us the opportunity to dive to the bottom of the sea and see the coral reefs. We were not allowed to touch anything. The coral reefs were very sharp. Before diving, they told us not to touch the coral reefs. We followed the instructions they gave us. They were very beautiful.  After that, we went to Pasikuda Beach. Then we left for home. That day was a day I will never forget😊😊😊😊😊.

 My birthday was on November 12. That morning my mother wished me well. She made milk rice and fed it to me. My father and my brothers also wished me well. I am now 22 years old. I am big girl now. Many people had surprised me and left messages.  I went to the temple that morning. I offered flowers, light lamps, worshiped the Buddha and went home. In the afternoon I went to the town for some work. a friend of mine took me because he had work.  When I went there, they had prepared a birthday party for me. I was very happy.I thanked them a lot. I cut the cake they had prepared and celebrated my birthday.  After that we took photos, danced and sang songs. I had a very happy time. I am very happy that I got to spend that day like this. They gave me gift . We all spent that day happily.
