Rubber Cultivation

 Sri Lanka is a country where rubber cultivation is an important commercial agricultural activity.

Rubber is mainly grown in the wet zone of the country.

The Sabaragamu and Southern provinces are especially well known for rubber cultivation.

Rubber trees grow well in hot and wet climatic conditions.

They require a high amount of annual rainfall.

Latex obtained from rubber trees is used to produce rubber.

This industry contributes to the export income of Sri Lanka.

It also provides employment opportunities for many peoples.







However, Sri Lanka is not the largest producer of rubber in the world.

Thailand is the leading rubber producer in the world.

Indonesia also produces rubber on a large scale.

Vietnam is another major producer of rubber.

These countries use large areas of land for rubber cultivation.

Therefore, their production levels are very high.

Sri Lanka has limited land area for rubber cultivation.

As a result, its production is comparatively lower.

However, Sri Lanka is known for producing highquality rubber.

Thus, Sri Lanka is a rubber growing country but not the largest producer in the world.

Punch and my childhood

Image
 When I was little, one day I got a teddy bear. Usually, boys don’t buy teddy bears, but I kept it next to me on my bed so I wouldn’t feel lonely. At that time, I thought of it as my older brother. Because I don’t have any brothers or sisters, I kept it close to me like a sibling. But as time passed and I grew up, it slowly became just a normal teddy bear. Recently, I saw a baby monkey called Punch playing with a teddy bear because it didn’t have its mother. When I saw that, it reminded me of my childhood. Even today, that teddy bear is still with me. Now I have even given it a funny name  "Amara".😂 What I really want to say is this... When we don’t have love and affection in our lives, we sometimes look for those feelings even in lifeless things.

ONE DAY

 One day I got sick. So I was on my way to get medicine. We had to get off the beautiful bridge over the river in our village and go to the dispensary. Oh my god...! I dont know if you will believe it. It was a really nice trip. Because I went there for a long time. So now that bridge is before my eyes. I happily walked over the bridge, surrounded by blue fields. Beyond the paddy fields, blue color mountains. Beautiful clouds like a blue sea. The river flows beautifully under bridge. I took a lot of pictures that day. They are very beautiful. Walk through a village at least once in your life and have an experience like this.

MY FAVORITE SONG

  One thing I do often is listen to music. For me, music isn't just a simple pastime. It's a a way to soothe my mind, a world where my thoughts can rest. Specially when I listen to songs that calm the soul , all the sadness, heaviness and silent pain in my heart slowly fade away, as if they never existed. I have a deep love for old songs. I enjoy new songs too , and they have their charm. But my heart always gravitates toward the old ones - they hold a depth , a timeless truth that resonates differently.  When it's raining, with a cup of coffee in hand, listening to music - it's feeling words can hardly capture. In that moment , my mind becomes completely quiet. It's not just simple pleasure. It's an aesthetic feeling, where life's chaos fades away and everythinf aligns in a single , serene instant. Among all the songs I love , one stands out above the rest - Nirosha Virajini's "Oba Giyama Duka Mata Dee."   I first discovered this song throug...
