Nadha's Life in Srilanka

Walking in the airport loaded with luggage’s I kept on thinking about how I would survive in this country. I was very much looking forward to have a great time here. I knew nobody at all. Life was exciting before. Or may be it was superb. I had all the freedom I needed. I need not to ask anyone before doing anything. Not even my own mother. Talking about my mom I don’t even bother to think about my dad. But I love him a lot. And I know he loves me too. But now life is going to be much more exciting and thrilling. Only I had the problem of being apart from mom. And it was time for me to do all the chores alone. I got a mothers love in a different way. I accept the freedom she gave me as love and care. Since my childhood I like being alone. Making friends with kids my age was a difficult task for me. Something kept the kids away from me. I love privacy and I don’t believe in love.

After struggling with the luggage and diving in thoughts I and my friend started our journey. Srilanka is a big country. Buses and three wheelers were new for us Maldivians who have enjoyed the white sands and calm breezes of the separated small islands. For my shock on that very fist day I saw a fearsome accident. The scene of a dead mans body and his head been apart was terrifying. Immediately I got the point I should get used to these types of shocks.

We have a small apartment in wellawatha. I didn’t mind being tenants but I was going to enjoy this simple living. Washing, cooking, cleaning and other were new but I didn’t loose hope. We enjoyed our first dinner in the country at a famous restaurant named Mango Tree. I didn’t like the crowded atmosphere, but the food was lip smacking.

The first days we spend were tiring and we got to learn lots. I started enjoying cooking and cleaning. Washing was easy as long as I had the support of the washing machine. We came to know people in the country. They are helpful. Some are greedy but it’s because of their living standards. I hate people who cheat. As long as I could I didn’t leave any chance for them to cheat on me or even if they get me I won’t get away easily. I was kind of proud for having that much gut.

Days passed now I am studying in royal institute, a very well know institute in Sri Lanka. We have lots of Maldivians in our school. Teachers are excellent in their profession. Playing around and chatting in the interval time with the Maldivian gang kept my memories of school days in Maldives, bright. Been space out from Maldives we enjoyed the deeds and conducts of Maldivians.

By no means will I say that I don’t like Sri Lankan people. I have lots of friends from Sri Lanka. I adore some people a lot. Mentioning some of them I would always remember my school principle. Working for the school as the principle he also teach us accounts, my favorite subject. Handling the leadership, he is performing at his finest level. A truthful, trustworthy, sincere and an honorable person, even is the minority of level how I could describe him.

My best friend is a very amusing person. Even though he is from Sri Lanka he has spend most of his time overseas and now he is my classmate. I learn lot from him knowledge about the culture and practice about other countries. He is a very pleasant and kind hearted person. He has laughing dark eyes, a handsome, high-cheek boned face and thick black hair. At first I didn’t like him at all. But as the time moved ahead we became close as best friends.

In the first year of my schooling in Srilanka our class got a project to visit certain rural areas about finding knowledge of the economical stability in those areas. When we visited those areas I found that quite a number of poor people around the area. Most of them are homeless and unable to fulfill their daily needs. Though education is provided by the government there is certain people who are unable to afford the simple necessities require entering school. These people live far from these educational areas making them unable to spend much and travel far. I have my most sympathies for these people and kids.

We also organized a program where group of students from my school collected funds for the cancer hospital. We bought gifts for those people and kids and organized a small show for them. We all had the great intention on doing anything for those kids to smile. For this charitable work we got sincere thanks from the heads of the hospital. It was a day that I felt so relieved and happy for helping the patients.

I would always remember the 2 days I spent in nurelia with my friends. It’s a very cold but gorgeous and stunning area. We had to drive for almost 6 hours to reach the area. The flower gardens in the area are picturesque and charming. We spend our time exploring the area. There were lots of fun activities we did. We spent most time horse ridding and boat ridding. We also got a chance to explore a tea manufacturing firm. There was a guide who told us about every process going on the factory. We saw the real process. It was a very valuable trip for us and we were lucky to get that much information. On the way back to Colombo we took pictures near waterfalls and fogs. The scenery was breath taking.

After two years, I finished my A levels successfully from Royal Institute. I was really happy for gaining goods results. My parents were proud of me. The last day I spent in school was amusing and as well as I felt very miserable to leave the school. I got signatures and autographs from all respective heads, teachers and my all friends.

After finishing my A levels I decided to study law. Now am studying in a law school. I am still doing successfully and hoping to finish my studies successfully. I intend to finish my studies in Srilanka, hoping that life in srilanka would be thrilling and enjoyable.
