කවි සිතුවිලි : සිනාව

සමහරු ආඩම්බරෙන් යති, ගොඩක් උඩින්... සමහරු මවාගෙන යති, මෙලෝ නොසිහියෙන්... සමහරු රවාගෙන යති, පුපුරන මුහුණෙන්... එත්, මේ කිසිවක් ඉදිරියේ... නොනැමෙන හිත... හිනාව අභියස සිනා නොවී සිටිය හැකිද සිත පහන් නොවී තියේවිද? රණ්ඩු සරුවල් වි ඇන කොටාගෙන, මිනී මරාගෙන බෙදී වෙන් වී  සියල්ල අවසානයේ  සිනා වු කල  කිසිවක් නොවූ සේ  සියලු බැදීම් අලුත් කර ගනු නොකැමැතිද ?

7 Uni Hacks for the newbies

Image
  1. The experience is larger than life. Life at university is indeed a roller coaster ride. You’ll experience some of the best and worst moments of your life. Sometimes you will feel lost, stressed, overwhelmed or a lot of other things all at once; just take a nap or eat a snack and you’ll be fine. 2. You are here to learn how to use the knowledge you have (you know nothing, but you actually know everything). “Reading for a degree” requires you to do extra hours of reading which is so unrealistic. Therefore at least attending lectures is a smart move you should make because it will actually help you quite a lot. Getting good grades with higher GPA requires a bit of hard work. Ask questions and clear your doubts, lecturers are here to help you out. 3. There are clubs and societies for anything and everything. You will get opportunities do all sorts of activities be it posing for a picture to win a best smile competition or participating for a walk to raise funds for co

Estrella 2017

A girl walks into a room for an interview, slips and falls face first to the ground in front of the whole panel of interviewers. Freeze… What would a typical girl do? She would have felt so embarrassed, her face might have turned blood red and her eyes would have been overflowing with tears of shame and in her mind, the nun would have been crying out “Shame! Shame! Shame!”. But, what the girl does next blows one’s mind. Unfreeze… She gets up, straightens her dress and says something incredible that gets her the job. “I have fallen in the right company.” Freeze… This is one of many real world scenarios the speaker took us through to show the significance of effective communication and attitude, at Estrella. Estrella is a public speaking skills development initiative organized by the FMF Media, held on the 30th of September at Hall 01 of Faculty of Management and Finance, University of Colombo. A workshop focused on developing communication skills of today’s youth as

Live a little Love a little , was a project organized by the Rotaract club of University of Colombo Faculty of Management and Finance to celebrate Children’s day with a special group of remarkable young women on the 30th of September 2017. Of all crimes committed against a person, rape is a horrendous act which leaves a person violated, humiliated and broken. Even though I am unable to mention the name of the place due to legal reasons it is a home to many young women who had their lives torn apart due to atrocious acts of our society. The girls welcomed us with big smiles and warm hearts, and it made me realise how incredibly brave they were. Listening to their life stories, hardships and daily struggle to overcome the emotional and physical abuse they’ve gone through, made me feel ashamed of how little I knew about society. Even though Sri Lanka is progressing, rape is still a stigma in our society, which is often discussed in hushed tones. While these girls are trying
