Trincomalee With The Sea..💙🌊💙

Image
During the last vacation, we left home early in the morning with our family to visit Trincomalee. After a long journey, the blue sea we saw when we reached the city soothed our tiredness. We first went to see the historic  Koneswaram Temple, which is located on a high hill. The view of the Indian Ocean from there was very beautiful and the sight of the "Lovers Leap" cliff made us a little scared and curious. There are many places to visit in Jaffna like the Kanniya Hot Springs, Koneswaram Temple, Welgam Vehera, Paravi Island and Coral Reefs. After that, we went to see the Frederick Fort built during the Dutch rule and the herd of deer there was a feast for our eyes. After lunch, we enjoyed the beauty of the Trincomalee Harbor, the largest natural harbor in Sri Lanka. That evening, we went to the Nilaveli beach and had a great time playing with the waves. We went to the city market and did not forget to buy some fresh dried fish and souvenirs there. We took pictures of the swe...

Jaffna Trip ❤️❤️

My friends and I completed our IT course and went on a trip to Jaffna. We boarded the train from Thambuttegama railway station. As soon as we passed Thalawa railway station, the train slowed down. We looked out the window to see what was happening. I saw many people stretching ropes on both sides of the railway track. Here is a rope that we also bought. A polythene cover was hung on the rope. We opened it to see what was inside. It had boiled jackfruit and sambol. It was a different kind of dansala. Very tasty. The most beautiful dansala I have ever seen.  After that, we took pictures while we were on the train and went straight to Jaffna railway station. When we reached Jaffna, we could see a beautiful environment full of palm trees, unique to the north. Although the climate there was quite harsh, the cool breeze that blew gave us a lot of relief. After getting off there, we first went to eat something. Since there are a lot of Tamil people in Jaffna, we eagerly ate thosey and vad...

My Family 💓💓

My favorite place is my home. My father, my mother, my two brothers and I live in my family. My father is the head of the family and he is the strength and protection of our family. My mother is a very kind person and she lights up the whole house. She looks after our every need and prepares delicious food for us. I have two brothers and they give me a lot of strength and support in my life. We three brothers spend time with each other very much and love each other. The main feature in our family is mutual respect for each other. In any sorrow or happiness, my family members are the first to be by my side. The free and peaceful environment at home is a great help in my educational endeavors. My parents always show us the right path and teach us good virtues. My family has taught me to stay together even in difficult times. The freedom and trust my family gives me is the main reason for my development. No matter where I go in the world, my home is the place where I feel the most and saf...
