Ghunghroo


                    ‘  Ghunghroo ’  is a very special and meaningful part of my life. It is not just an ornament. It is a symbol of dedication, discipline, and passion for dance. As someone who wears ghunghroo, I feel a deep connection to it every time I tie it around my ankles.



The sound of the ghunghroo is not just music. It is a voice. It speaks through my movements and expresses my emotions. When I dance, every step I take creates a rhythm, and that rhythm tells a story. It is a beautiful feeling to hear the sound of the bells moving in perfect harmony with my steps.

Wearing ghunghroo also carries responsibility. It reminds me to stay focused, to practice regularly, and to respect the art of dance. It is not easy to wear ghunghroo. It requires strength, balance and patience. But with time, it becomes a part of who I am.

For kathak dancers , ghunghroo is more than just a part of dance. It is a part of our identity. It gives us confidence, joy, and a sense of purpose. Whenever I perform, I feel proud to wear my ghunghroo, because it shows my love and commitment to my art.



Being a ghunghroo wearer is not just about dancing. It is about expressing myself, telling my story, and connecting with others through rhythm and movement.

 I'm Thilina Malshan Perera . I'm 22 years old. I'm from Marawila. I'm the one and only child to my parents. I'm currently an undergraduate student in University of Visual and Performing Arts. Simply, I'm one of the breathing humans in this world. Dance is my passion. So I always try to learn some more new things that related to my path. To date I can dance Sri Lankan traditional dance, Indian classical Kathak dance style, Modern Contemperory dance too..  Personally I know that, dance is the way to satisfy my own self. After dancing I prefer to spend time with my loving parents and travel all around the world. I mostly prefer to eat Sri Lankan rice and curry, Italian dishes, and Chocolate flavoured sweets too.. Fresh fruit juice and chocolate milk shake are my favourite beverages.  Finally I have to include that the person who am I , or who will I be in the future is depend on my role.I love myself .

Delayed Dreams

‘ Waiting for Our Academic Journey to Begin🎓’  I am currently a first-year student at the University of Visual and Performing Arts. In our batch, most students were born in 2004, but there are also students born in 2002, 2003, and 2005. However, the sad situation is that although we completed our G.C.E. Advanced Level examination in 2023–2024 and were selected to the university in the same year, we are still at home. Our academic activities started online in September 2025, but even by February 2026, we are still not attending to physical lectures.            We were supposed to start physical lectures on the 23rd of March 2026, but due to a global issue, it was postponed again. As students, we truly wish to start our academic journey on time, complete our degree within the proper period, and move forward with our own careers and lives. We understand that even our university and lecturers are facing difficulties, and that this delay has been continuin...

The most unforgettable role in my life

           ‘  The period I spent as the head prefect of my school  ’    is my most unforgettable leading role in my life. I am the former head prefect of St.Sebastian’s Central College Katuneriya in 2022-2023.                         My school was established on 1873 AD. Since that period onwards, I am the first and only head prefect that emerged from the dancing section. During my duty period there were 90 prefects under me and the other head prefect girl , such as 4 Deputy head prefects , 58 senior prefects and 28 junior prefects. We did so many things at the school during our duty period.                      If I list down some memories that we are still memorable. As our school is a Roman Catholic school, there is a different culture and a tradition in our school. • As the tradition of our school , the annually new...
