The Independence

sri lanka has been able to boast of a history of thousands of years as an independent state.We could also be proud of a self sufficient economy and political outonomy.

The portugeese invaded our country in the year tsos. And the dutch began to meddle with our internal affars later. we lost entire feedom as a result of britishers conquering the island in the year 1815.

Lankans who were dissatisfied of the british rule in the country rebelled for independence. But the rulers were heedless. As a result a great campaign was launched to rescued our country from the ruthless Britishers. F.R Senanayake,D.S.Senanayake, D.B. Jayatilleke,Arthur V.Dias , Ponnabalam Ramanayake than,John de silva. Henry pedris,ven Battaramulla subhuthi and piyadasa sirisena are some of the patriots wholed this campaign.

We pbtained freedom from the British rule on 04 February , 1948. Today We celebrate its golden judilee. Sri lanka is a socialist, democratic republic now.

 

Alcoholism

Experts define alcoholism as a condition in which drinking interferes seriously with health, work and personal relationships. With a lot of drinking and a little neglect,almost any one can develop the disease, just as any one of us can contact pneumonia by foolishly exposing ourselves to its causes. How ever people who are alert to the dangers of alcohol can more easily avoid them.

Why do some people became addicated to it but not others? While researchers continue to explore genetic susceptibility psychological and social factors. brain chemistry and other variables drinking may shatter the enzyme systems that help regulate the body, an eventually bring on alcoholism.The liver is a strategic organ in this process. When excess alcohol is metabolized by the liver cells, many negative physiological reactions can make a person more susceptible to several fatal diseases.

Research studies on alcoholism have demonstrated that certain drinkers are in a highrisk category. Among them are heavy smokers, those with a family history of alcoholism, and those who come from homes with much parental discord.

English Language is a Must in the competitive world

  

The world today  has became a universal village with English as the common language. Therefor it is necessary that in the competitive world particularly the younger generation should be conversant with it.

                        It is unfortunate that since gaining Independence successive governments as a vote catching device, promised to give pride of place to the Sinhala language. But in actural fact it led to the deterioration of the English Language.

                        It is an urgent necessity to stimulate school  children to equip themselves with competent bilingual capacity through a well-planned school curriculum. More English complementary readers should be prescribed in order to introduce a wider vocabulary and constant practice of grammer to our youngsters.Gaining a full knowledge of and skill in spelling and pronunciation should be made a must too.

The kandy perahera

       The kandy perahera is a culture pageant. people  from all walks of life and religions come for it. But some people think that is only for the boddhists. It is wrong to make such observations. A cultural event cannot be limited to a particular group or religion alone.

                        Buddhists go for is since it is the Tooth Relic of the Lord Buddha,that is sacred to them, that is paraded along the streets. Still all of us as Sri lankans can witness the event since our common culture binds us together.

                        To enjoy a cultural event religion and race is no barrier. Every citizen in the country should make use of the opportunity of seeing the kandy perahera which is an extravagant custom more that 200 years old.                         

kandy

Many who have heard of sri lanka identify kandy as the fascinating hill capital and the city of Dalada Maligawa Temple of the sacred tooth relic of lord Buddha. In fact kandy is the second most visited city in sri lanka today.

                        This ancient stronghold of the sinhala kings finally gave in to the British in 1815. But the heritage of sinhalese culture and buddhism still remain preserved here. Traditions dating back to the origins of sinhala civilisation are still found here. Temples, shrines and monasteries keeping alive the buddhist way of life are every where in kandy. There are probably more buddhist monks living in kandy than in any other city of island. Malwatte temple and asgiriya temple, the buddhist monasteries dating from kandyan period are among the greatest landmarks of this historical religious city.

                        To the Buddhists here in sri lanka and all over the world kandy  is one of the most sacred cities. pilgrims come daily to worship at the Dalada Maligawa and to participate in the services symbolised by the kandyan drums which echo through the city at dawn,pre-noon and dusk.
