My dream trip

                                    If I could choose the vacation of my dreams, I would definitely choose southern Europe. Although the USA is far from here, it is possible to reach to Europe by plane. Why do I want to travel to countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal or Greece? The answer is simple; their climate is perfect and their ancient buildings and monuments teach about the birth of Western Civilization. I would love to go to the airport today and buy a ticket to start my journey in Greece.
Greece is the cradle of Western Civilization. Such philosophers as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates generated their wise ideas and ‘invented’ philosophy in Greece. Very soon, their thoughts spread in other European countries. I would like to visit Greece in order to understand the influence of the country’s nature, people and cuisine on our culture. Their influence has been positive because of so many talented personalities originating from this magnificent place. I would love to start my vacation in Athens. This ancient city, the capital of Greece, is full of marvelous monuments and prehistoric buildings that have survived until our time. I would like to walk about the old city and admire the historical places of interest.
It would be foolish to leave Greece without trying its cuisine. Greeks are famous for their love for dairy products, olives, fish and of course wine. They manage to combine these ingredients to produce splendid dishes.
The second stop of my journey would be Italy. But I am confused about which places to visit with so many great choices. The most obvious place is Rome, the capital of Italy. This ancient city is supposed to be one of the most beautiful in Europe. The Colosseum, Vatican City, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain would all be worth visiting. The entire city is practically a big monument and a complex of historic buildings that impress your mind. I would like to spend a few days wandering around and visiting its cozy restaurants and pizzerias.
I would try all possible kinds of pizza if I were in Italy because this dish is one of my favorites. It would be a crime to miss the chance to eat a genuine Italian pizza cooked in its motherland. Then, I should definitely try different sorts of the Italian wine. I would like to devote a day or two to the exploration of the small villas and private households that grow grapes and produce their wine.
If I am in Italy, I should go to Venice. This city is known all over the world due to its unique position and organization. When I was a child I dreamt to visit Venice, this magical city placed on the water. You will not see a car or scooter there because native citizens travel about Venice by boats. I want to look at the police, vendors and public transport that function on boats. In addition, Venice is rich in Gothic architecture. It is difficult to imagine something more imposing that looking at Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco and Doge’s Palace from your gondola. I suppose, I will feel like in a fairy tale when I decide to spend a week in the city on the water. I would try to visit this spectacular city during the carnival that gathers thousands of people in the streets wearing masks and weird costumes.
Next would be Spain. Barcelona is the primary city in my ‘must see’ list. The city is known for its architecture and lifestyle. I have dreamt about visiting the Sagrada Familia for years. I think this historic church will definitely impress me with its size and beauty. Then, I will look at the other Gaudi masterpieces that have made Barcelona famous. Barcelona Cathedral, The Arc de Triomf, The National Museum of Art of Catalonia and other places of interest are worth attention. The Barcelona beach is the ideal place to have a good rest. Its pure water and well known parties will make your vacation unforgettable. Although I am not a big fan of soccer, I would like to visit the museum of the strongest European team in Barcelona. Moreover, it would be nice to watch the game at the largest stadium in Europe called Camp Nou.
I suppose I would finish my vacation in Barcelona and fly home by plane from it's airport. I believe that these experiences and impressions obtained in the picturesque and warm southern European countries will stay with me for years. Obviously, I will try to turn this dream vacation into reality.

The art of living

It was the most amazing lecture that i ever heard on ... 

DR. AjithE Collonne's lecture on art of living  is themost interesting lecture that i ever heard.

It was the very first time that i forgot  to glance on my watch during a lecture😂😂

He was such capable in conducting lectures in  very interesting way ...

..... thank you madam for make us visit such a awesome person like him...😌😌..   

                                                           
AS he said we live in this word because of three reasons.
1)Happiness
2)Entertainment
&
3)Enjoyment

According to him When we Think about art of living - there is an art to everything and living well is no exception. Of any art, this would be the one to master since it encompasses all the others.  The art of living well is to make your life an expression of who you are , what you believe, and your hopes, dreams and desires. Of course, to create your life as a work of art is an ongoing, evolving, and creative endeavor. And so it should be.
The difference between living well and just living would be analogous to preparing a meal.
When you're hungry you can just throw something together from whatever is handy without considering the nutritional value, taste, or visual appeal of the dish. You can shove something down that fills your tummy and satisfies your immediate appetite.
Or, you can prepare a pleasing, nutritious, tasty meal that not only satisfies your visual and practical needs, but also makes it a joy to experience. Of course, the second meal requires more thought, planning, imagination and work, in general, but the rewards are exceedingly greater on every level.
So it is with life. You could live it indiscriminately not paying attention to anything in particular, or you can make it a delicious, nutritious treat.

 AS he said we can   make our life a work of art by;

1. Make each moment count and live it to the fullest. When you get up in the morning decide to welcome all the challenges and delights each day brings. Be aware that everything you experience contributes to your knowledge, enjoyment and understanding of life. Every activity can have meaning and purpose and by acknowledging and recognizing it, you enrich your participation in it.


2. Express yourself and create the life you want. You are unique. Express your individuality and share your observations and insights with others. Make your surroundings a comfortable reflection of that individuality and uniqueness. For instance, if you're a collector, a sports fan, or have a particular hobby, decorate your home with artifacts and mementos that express that part of your personality. It makes for good conversation and reveals something about you to others.


3. Establish an open, accepting and appreciative mindset. Prepare yourself for whatever comes your way. When you do, the possibility of attracting adverse circumstances lessens because of your willingness to confront and face what is. When you maintain an open, accepting attitude life actually goes more smoothly and without incident. It's as if you're daring life to throw you a curve, but because you aren't afraid, it becomes unnecessary and therefore loses its impact.


4. Be who you are and go after what you want. Be comfortable with yourself and don't be afraid to go after what you want. So many opportunities are missed out offear of failure (and success too) and an unwillingness to take risks or put yourself on the line. Life is too short to not give your best shot at something. Strive to reach your potential. The worst that can happen is you learn a valuable lesson.


5. Have a solid personal foundation balanced with relationships with family, friends and the community. We are social beings who need each other for comfort, support and interaction. It's important to cultivate and value all of our relationships and engage in activities that promote good will and make the community, the country and ultimately the world a better place.

You know you are living well when you:

• Wake up in the morning and can't wait for the adventure that lies ahead of you.
• Are optimistic, cheerful and confident.
• Are interested in and want to contribute to others and the world around you. 
• Focus on the good things in your life and improve on what's not working.
• Are aware, appreciative and engaged in life.
• Turn obstacles into opportunities.
• Seize each moment.

We can make an art of living well by expressing ourselves, by being open and receptive to new experiences, and by living each moment to the fullest. We need only decide to do so.
So finally  we must thank a lot for Dr. Ajith Collonne for  conducting us a such a interesting amazing lecture on " Art of living" by combining his own life experiences 😌😌😌😌😌

Beauty of the university of kelaniya

                                       

I was blessed to be a student of university of Kelaniya😌😌 .

And i'm so proud to say that university of Kelaniya is the first green university

in Sri Lanka .

Pleasant  environment is so essential when we do our studies. As the students in Uni KAL we are so lucky to have such a environment. 

Its plenty of natural beauty.

It gaha, Sarungalaya, pacha gaha, Tharuwa are  some of  the famous places that 

we can observe natural beauty easily.Calm ,cool environment enhance our desire to be there much more time.😌😌  

pleasant environment in our university speedup our energy on our academics.Wordsworth, a staunch lover of nature, believed that nature is a storehouse of joy and pleasure.  It is an overflowing  fountain of divine beauty.  It is a friend, a guide and a nurse to man.    A ruined body or a broken mind find a lot of comfort and consolation in the lap of nature.  It provides a man with fresh energy and a new vigor .So we have given all  those things in our university.

When we talking about the beauty of the university its not about only its natural beauty but also on some other things too. 

Students those who are studding here enhance its beauty a lot.😌

And the academic and other records that archived by students add more value to our university.

In this year also uni KAL played major role in inter university sports festival. We could archived
several victories there.

university of Kelaniya annually held lots of events . For an example STYLISH MARKETER is the biggest modeling show which is conducting by a government university in SriLanka .

university of kelaniya is producing around  three thousand of graduates per a year for mother Srilanka.

So by doing all those things it could increase its beauty as well as its value.....

Look Back

                                       PPD is a different subject among the subject of the university. Our lives can get lot of things from this rather than books. By doing PPD activities, we can improve leadership skills, self confidence, patience, unity etc. Not only them, but also we can learn how to work as a group, complete a task within given time with efficiency and effectiveness, how accept challengesetc. And also we learnt industry related things. How a write a curriculum vitae correctly, how we face to a interview, lectures from who are working in the industry were very important after more two years. We could know that kind of essential things through this session. Sometimes we fed up, because of aceademic thing, in that time we can relax our mind from some of PPD activities such as expert game, pen and thread game, barter puzzel etc. Ultimately I would like to thank madam Sarasi for her great dedication.
