My Home Town


 ‘ Marawila ’ , 

Marawila is my hometown. It is located in the North Western Province of Sri Lanka, in the Puttalam District. Marawila is not only beautiful but also a very lively and welcoming town. The people in Marawila are known for their kindness, friendliness, and strong community spirit. Everyone knows each other, and there is always a sense of unity among the villagers. 


My village is truly a very beautiful place. One of the main reasons for its beauty is that it is semi-urban. It has the peaceful charm of a rural village as well as the convenience and development of a town. This unique balance makes Marawila a very special place to live.

Our area has a strong Catholic influence, and many people in the community follow the Catholic faith. Because of this, the people here are very peaceful and live in harmony with one another.

Marawila is also well known for the famous Marawila Holy Cross Church, which attracts many Catholic devotees from all around Sri Lanka. Not only Catholics, but people from different religions also visit this place.



Another highlight of Marawila is its beautiful beach. The scenic view of the beach, especially with the coconut trees, is truly breathtaking. There are also many hotels along the beach, which attract a large number of tourists to the area.


One more special thing about my village is that it has not experienced any major natural disasters so far. There have been no floods, landslides, or even tsunamis affecting our area.

Fishing is one of the main livelihoods in Marawila, as it is located near the coast. Many families depend on fishing and related activities for their daily income. You can often see fishermen going out to sea early in the morning and returning with fresh fish.

Agriculture also plays an important role in the area. Coconut cultivation is very common, and the surrounding lands are filled with coconut trees. This adds to the natural beauty of the village and supports the local economy as well.



Marawila is also known for its local markets, where people can buy fresh seafood, fruits, and vegetables. These markets are always busy and reflect the daily life and culture of the people.

Festivals and religious events are celebrated with great enthusiasm in Marawila. Church feasts, especially, bring the whole community together. These celebrations are filled with joy, decorations, and cultural traditions.

In addition, Marawila has easy access to nearby towns and cities, making transportation convenient for education, work, and travel. Despite this development, it still maintains its calm and relaxing environment.

The sunsets in Marawila are truly unforgettable. Watching the sun go down by the beach, with the sound of the waves and the cool breeze, is a peaceful and memorable experience.

Overall, Marawila is a peaceful, beautiful, and blessed place that I am proud to call my home.

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...
