🧬The loneliness caused by Covid-19🧬🩺💊

 Covid-19 
  when covid - 19 first came into Sri Lanka, many things were happening at one. my A/L exams were coming up, my brother was moving abroad, my father had a sudden accident, and his company was busy with many construction projects. 😥😥

my father had a taken on several projects, but my brother had to leave for his studies just as the work was starting. even though my father's legs were injured from his accident, he still went to see the construction work. one day, he finished a project early in the morning and came home feeling sick😷.at first, we though he was just tired. 
 
omg!!!! 😫
we soon found out that my father's driver had tested positive for covid-19, then my mother and I also got infected. but, since my grandfather and our helper aunty were healthy, so, we had to leave the house to protect them.

my mother's condition became serious, so, she needed urgent medical care.it was a very difficult time because the hospitals were full, and there was no room for the tree of us to stay together. 😌

finally, a relative helped us, they arranged the room at the Hikka Tranze hotel in Galle, which was working with Asiri Hospitals to treat patients. we stayed in a room overlooking the Hikkaduwa Beach🌊


the most painful thing about covid-19 was how everyone having so many problems. I was lost my A/L exams, my father's leg was in bed state after an accident and his projects were struck, my mother's illness, my brother was in another country, my grandfather and helper aunt were so week they couldn't even cooked. 
oooooh!!!! even today, I can only look back at those memories with a heavy sigh.

SO NEAR, YET SO FAR..........😷🌊
do you know what it's like to see the beach but not be able to touch the waves?
for days, I just watched the ocean from a distance. I love drawing mandala's but, there I was, trapped in a hotel, staring at the sea, feeling completely alone.


 
in those last days, my only comfort was my cousin who worked at the Galle police. He secretly brought me spicy foods, murukku, chocolate drinks, books and colored pens. finally drawing Mandela but😒 

being stuck by a sea I couldn't enjoy was hard, but the feeling of watching thousands of people being taken by death was truly fatal. a virus like that should never come back again. 


🦠😷😷🌊😥

APRIL "my month"

Image
                  I see April as my month, primarily because it is my birth month. Even though it happens at the end of the month, the feeling right at the start is truly beautiful.  It wouldn’t be wrong to describe it as a whole season in itself a time when the environment, cities, and villages all flourish with prosperity.  The Sinhala and Hindu new year season are a perfect example of this. To me, it is a time that feels complete in every sense, not just limited to one thing.  Regardless of the current economic or social climate, we all witness a unique sense of preparation and readiness in everyone during this month. 2025 memo ☝️                  During the early part of the month, I spend my time joining my father for the various festival invitations he receives and helping with the preparations for the New Year days. ​​Despite all the festivities, what I love most is that this ...

> MANALI WINTER ❄🏔

  A MOMENT IN THE SNOW ⛄ ❄   ☃ A few years ago, in January, I visited the town of Manali in Himachal Pradesh, India, located near the snow-capped 🗻Himalayan mountain range.      It was beautiful city surrounded by snow-covered mountain ranges and seen the snow falling even as I arrived was the most beautiful moment, I saw in my own eyes❆.  because it was my first time experiencing snow, the feeling was more magical🌟 than cold  👉 when we first visited the  Hadi Mba  Devi Temple , the heavy snowfall ❆ made the afternoon look dim and misty. because it was snowing too hard to even take photos, we finished our prayers and headed back to our resort. The darkness combined with the snow made me feel like was a character an ancient tale, because that mysterious environment was mixed with the snow that extent. So, our cottage was situated on a hillside near a reservoir. to my surprise, the snow-covered trees filling the garden were actually apple tr...

Bio science research crew

  Report: - ABSOPTON OF THE HEAVY METAL LEAD(Pb) by INTRODUCED AND NATIVE WEED PLANTS. Although I eventually chose to pursue Arts, Science was always the subject I loved most. I had enough talent and experience to follow the Bio Science stream, but I quickly realized that Science requires total focus. If you don't give it your full attention, it easily slips away. ​Trying to keep my mind on Art while practicing Science was a challenge that slowed down my academic path. This memory comes from a time when I was part of a high-achieving group of students in a research project organized by the National Science Foundation at the University of Peradeniya. ​The project focused on "The absorption of the heavy metal Lead (Pb) using invasive and native weed plants." However, towards the end of the project, I handed over the remaining work to my teammates because I had to travel abroad for an Arts competition. That moment truly left me feeling turn between my two passions. Recently,...
