      One day I wanted to go to Anuradha's house.  I told him that and told him I would come to his house the next day.  I left home at around 7 am the next day and arrived in Avissawella around 8 am.  From Avissawella came across a SLTB bus traveling from Katunayake to Moneragala on Route 98.  It was about 1 pm when I reached Moneragala via Eheliyagoda, Ratnapura, Pelmadulla, Godakawela, Pallebedda, Walawa Junction, Kiriibbanara, Sevanagala, Thanamalwila, Buttala and Wellawaya.  It was about 2 pm when I boarded a bus from Moneragala to Buddhama and reached Dombagahawela.  It was about 10 km from Dombagahawela to Anuradha's house and we traveled that distance in a three wheeler.  I spent the night at his house and the next day I came with him to Bibile.  There he left again for Moneragala and I left for Dehiattakandiya via Mahiyangana.

      One day while I was at home last November, my friend Anuradha invited me to visit the Idalgashinna area.  I traveled from my home to Kegalle town and boarded a luxury bus from Kegalle to Kandy.  I started my journey from Kandy at 12.20 pm and boarded a bus belonging to the Badulla Depot on the Badulla 21 Kandy Road.      From Kandy I passed through Tennekumbura, Haragama, Gurudeniya, Kanda Junction, Adhikarigama, Keerthibandarapura, Randenigala, 21 Junction, Meegahakiula, Thaldena and reached the Badulla bus stand at 4.30 pm. At that moment Anuradha was also on his way from Moneragala to Badulla.  We both found the bus traveling from Badulla to Bulathwatte in the middle of heavy rain but it had left by then.  We got on a three-wheeler, followed the bus, and got on the bus.  There we also met Sandali Akka.  It was around 5.30 pm when she and I went to Sachintha's house.      The next morning my sister Anuradha, Sachintha and Sandali and I arrived in Badulla where we met Laksha

       There are several other students in our university in Nikaweratiya.  We talked for many days and we talked about going to Nikaweratiya that day.  Nipun from Kantale, Dilshan Rideemaliyadda from Kebethigollewa, Akila and Anuradha and I from Kegalle all came to Nikaweratiya.We arrived in Warakapola town, boarded a bus from Colombo via Route 57 to Anuradhapura, reached padeniya and from there went to Pavina Akka's house and then to Janani Akka's house in Millagoda, Nikaweratiya.      Nipun, Dilshan and Akila were there when Anuradha and I went there.  We stayed at Janani Akka's house for a while and then came to Magalla Wewa area.  We visited the Magallawewa area and returned home. The next day we all came together to Erandi's house in Yapahuwa.  There too we met a large number of friends and we all came to visit the ancient fort of Yapahuwa.      From Yapahuwa we returned to Daladagama and from there we boarded a Kurunegala powered bus to Padeniya and from Padeniya

       I applied for the Derana Dream Star competition in the year 2021.  Accordingly, my first audition was held in Dambulla.  Since it is a long distance from my house to Dambulla, I auditioned from Thivanka's house in Matale.  In those days I also had surgery on my abdomen.  Somehow I passed the first audition.  Accordingly, I was selected as one of the final 48 after a number of auditions, second, third and fourth.  I sang live on stage from the last 48 rounds and from that I was selected in the final 42 round.  I had to withdraw from the competition due to the lack of SMS from people singing live songs there.

      The other day I came to Kantale, Trincomalee with some of my university friends.  There were some of my friends in that area too so our goal was to meet them and tour the area.  So I, Anuradha, Prageeth and Dilshan came to Kantale.       Before I got there I was in the Badulla area.  The bus from Badulla to Anuradhapura with Diyatalawa to Trincomalee boarded at around 11 pm from the Badulla main bus stand.  It was about 6 in the morning when we reached Meegahakiula, Mahiyangana, Girandurukotte, Dehiattakandiya, Kaduruwela, Minneriya, Galoya, Hathareskotuwa and Kantale.      Arriving at Prabhat's house in Kantale, we had breakfast and toured near Kantale Lake.  On that day, there will be some interesting experiences related to the Kantale matchbox bridge and the sluice canal. other friends came too so we came with them to Nipun's house and the next day we visited Koneshwaram Kovil in Trincomalee and Nilaveli beach.      The next day I boarded a bus from Trincomalee to Colo
