In a few moments we were all out of school.

  Paddy should be sown twice a year. That days are my favorite days in the year. My father and a few people can be seen at the time. They work in the mud of the field. White hooks can be seen coming in flocks. In those days our mother used to cook delicious food. Even if it was sunny , the sowing would not stop. I feel so sorry for them.

However we all got on the bus. The journey began in a few minutes. There was a guitar and congo drum in the bus. We sang till we went to Polonnaruwa. As far as I can remember it took three hours to go to Polonnaruwa. What I liked most was the time I was on the bus.   

A birthday present from my brother

I used to celebrate my birthday every year. As far as I can remember that day was 22nd March of 2020.It is a my unforgettable day. That day I got up early in the morning. when I wake up my mother had prepared Milk rice. My mother and father wished to me. After  the few minutes . I heard a door knocking sound. I think there was a stranger. He was my brother. He surprised me. He gave me a Subwoofer for my birthday. I had a great desire to buy a Subwoofer. But my brother presented it. 

My music class

Tow years ago I started a music class. I started it after the my Advance Level Examination. I had a great desire to teach music to students. As a result I started to teach music to students. The first class was attended by one student. But I did not hesitate. Tow months later, three students participated. And my music teacher helped me with that. I also resived a monthly salary. I could not do it anymore because of starting university.  

My study room

  My study room is located in front of the house. Sometime ago it was the store room. As soon as I was selected for university I wanted a study room. so the store room was changed in to a study room. These days I have to spend most of the day in the study room. Mow I do my studies very freely in the study room. From the windows in the room I could see the beautiful flower beds my mother had planted. My favorite place in the house is the study room.  

My home and surrounding

My house is located in a calm and quiet environment. Because there is a beautiful paddy field around the house. And also a beautiful stream of water flows. The gentle breeze that blows across the paddy field is healing. My house is a tow storey house. It also has a balcony. I love looking at the paddy field from the balcony. Neighbors say my house looks very nice. Most of the time they appreciate the look of the front of the house.

My Youtube channel

  J.M.A.Guru is my youtube channel. I built it a channel for music learners. The primary cause of its development was the Corona epidemic. Because students can not approach teachers. I included a lot if violin tutorials that its student needed. I have no studio and condenser microphones . But I try to do it simply by using my maximum ability. I kindly urge you to subscribe to my channel.

This plantation is maintained by mom and dad and me. We go to the paper plantation every day at 4.pm. Therefore we do not need extra exercises to body. But the hardest part is picking the paper.

  Punsanditha and Randika are my bestfriends. They are my village friends. Randika is active and playful boy. But Punsnditha is a humble boy. We are best friends but these days we haven not more time to meet. We have been friends since childhood. I remember when  we were little we rode bicycle around the village. Whe I was  in school, they came to see me every weekend. Most days we played cricket . And also we used to spend hours playing computer games. Those memories will tell me how wonderful  childhood was.

This laptop belongs to the Ryzen 5 category. Its price was one hundred and fifty thousand rupees. I think worth it for the price. Because it has 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. IT is more than enough for mt works.

He sings at one time like a Western classical singer and at another like a Indian classical singer. My favorite song from his collection is "Oba apple malak vage". The most important thing is that he is a singer as well as a violin player. As far as I can remember he is a student of Mr. Chemasiri Pemadasa .

Because I had no friends. Over time,the puppy and I grew up. I forgot to say. His name is Broono. Broono is a good dog . I felt his unconditional love. That is a major difference between dogs and human. Andalso he is a playful dog. I dislike call as dog because I can trust him as my bestfrind. He is always close to me. He looks at me like a baby when I bathe him. A wonderfully lovable dog. Unfortunately he is no longer with me. He died in an accident last week.
