How I spend my free time ?

         Apart from educational work, I spend every second I get with great passion and happiness. I am doing a lot of things for freedom and I would like to leave here the memoirs of some of them.

   

   Studied dance as an aesthetic subject at an early age and has participated in various dance performances. But with the urge to study music as a subject away from dance at school, I became more inclined towards hobbies like singing, listening to different tunes and recording music in my free time. I do this as a meditation to calm the mind.

      

 In addition to those subjects, I can draw to some extent as another ability that I got from the art department, So I am used to drawing the pictures that come to my mind in my free time and looking at an object and drawing it. Although I have never studied art as a subject, I am doing it as a hobby, inspired by my father. I love this activity with all my heart.

    A part from that, if I get free time, writing poetry is another activity that I love to do. I am very fond of creating meaningful verses under new topics by reading Sinhala as well as English literary books. I saw my mother's hobby of composing songs and writing poetry in her free time from a young age. And I think this ability is a gift I got through it. She taught me the message that there is nothing impossible for the person who picks up the pen. She taught us such activities in the Sinhala subject from a young age and it was also a great strength for me to have this ability.

   At the same time, one of my favorite things is to spend time with my friends whenever I have free time, to see beautiful places, to have a friend. I have never been angry with any friend or spent time in anger. I like to go on fun trips to eat and drink with friends. Loves to collect memories by photographing every moment spent with them and spend time looking through old memories. I love to travel with all of them from bus to bicycle to train and enjoy life by embracing the moments whole heartedly. In one's free time, it is worth turning to such hobbies to understand the taste of life.

 Photography is another hobby. I am a person who prefers to live with the camera whenever I get the freedom. This is a great help for me to understand how fascinating the gifts of nature are and I get used to looking at beautiful objects and seeing things from different angles. These qualities were also closer to me for enjoying Sinhala literature. Touching the attractive external appearance of a person or object, I don't shy to tell it to that person. I was able to improve skills like color matching, lens focusing, and so on because of my interest in painting. Also, by taking photographs, I am able to recall the memories of past events over and over again, so I would like to spend the present time very happily and enjoyably and take pictures of those moments.

     I love to try new clothes and new styles. My mother also designs and embroiders the most beautiful clothes for me. I try to wear all types of clothes without sticking to one style of clothing. I like to be beautiful and pleasing to other people every moment. It is adored for everything from frocks , skirts , tops , blouses ,  throusers and sarees. I have a penchant for simple clothing styles. This is another one of my hobbies where I am very deliberate about dressing appropriately. I like to go shopping for new clothes. I also struggle to try more trendy hairstyles and have long hair. The hair is braided in a simple way and is easy to wear for everyday tasks.

                   I like to spend my free time like this and it heals me both mentally and spiritually.
