There are many new stories that I enjoy reading ☺️. Among them, my favourite new story is "Beddegama" ❤️. Beddegama can be described as a translation of "The Village in the Jungle" by Leonard Wolfe ✍️. The translator here is A.P. Gunaratne. This is a leading novel in Sri Lankan literature. Based in a remote village in the Hambantota district, it depicts the harshness and poverty of village life 🏞️.

The main character of the story, Silindu, is a person who loves the forest very much but is an outcast from society. The emotional parts of the story revolve around his daughters, Punchi Menika and Hinnihami. The main characters who destroy their lives are the village's Arachchila and the scheming Fernando.

The speciality of this novel is that it does not exaggerate village life. It shows the devastation caused by hunger, fear of disease and ignorance. In the end, the entire village is sacrificed to the forest, which creates a major shock in the reader.

Baddegama is not just a story but a mirror that shows the impermanence of human life. It became so popular among Sinhala readers that it was later even made into an award-winning film. 🎖

🌴 My Favorite Season ☔

Image
 My favorite season is the rainy season in Sri Lanka ☔. It is a very beautiful and refreshing time of the year. The rain makes the whole country look green and fresh. During the rainy season, trees, plants, and paddy fields grow well 🌿. The environment becomes cool and calm. I love listening to the sound of the rain falling on the roof. It makes me feel relaxed and peaceful. Sometimes, people stay at home and enjoy hot tea or warm food while watching the rain 🍵. Children also enjoy playing in the rain and having fun. Even though the rain can sometimes be heavy, it is very important for farmers and nature. It helps crops grow and keeps the environment healthy. The rainy season makes me feel happy and comfortable 😊. That is why it is my favorite season. 🌧️💚

I am a person who loves to make cakes 🎂😍. So I followed a basic cake course. So that course was for 3 months 📅. At the end of the course, we had an exhibition, and they issued a certificate 🏆️. The final moment of the course that I had been doing with great enthusiasm arrived ☺️. We had to make a cake structure. The one who creates the best cake will be given a trophy 🏆️🥇.
