I have been working from home for about a year now. I love this lifestyle though most of my friends found it so difficult. This work style was so strange for me at the very beginning. It tends to increase loneliness compared with my office life.

Working from home is a bit harder than it sounds. Distractions are everywhere. But, it has definitely given me an opportunity to look out in life beyond our works. After four months of experience, I have realized that having a well-designed schedule is more precious.

Working from home

Why do you want to work from home? Some…

I was reading a book called “ The Demon Bride” by Dianna Hardy yesterday evening. I came across a line.

“ He thought he’d lived through everything, only now he did realize he’d merely existed.”

I was wondered for a moment. I just kept the book on my lap. How many times have I heard these two words “ living” and “existing”? It was an interesting question. I wanted to clarify it. Now, my mind is aching for details.

Oscar Wilde once said, “ To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all”. Living…

I am sitting by a large French window

in a brisk winter’s day

The log fire in the wood stove

radiates its glamor throughout the place

The scent of the fresh snow

and the sound of the crackling woods

arouse all the soft senses for a moment

I close my eyes and take a slow, deep breath

Wonderful! I am feeling light as the soft, white snow

The sense of happiness and relaxation goes throughout the

body from head to tiptoe

I am looking at the glorious stillness of nature

Soft, white snow gently falling to the ground

I see…

Language reflects how society perceives the world. Sri Lankan English (hereafter SLE) which is identified as a distinct variety of English has a rich vocabulary from English coming into contact with the other languages in Sri Lanka. SLE vocabulary has been enriched by the continuous addition of new words formed through a number of morphological processes. According to Senaratne (2009, p.52), “Sinhala, heavily influences the variety of English spoken in Sri Lanka and ‘Sri Lankan English’ or ‘Lankan English’[1] is used by Sri Lankans who speak English as their first language and Sri Lankans who are bilingual”. This study examines…

A poem

Tiny, white snow drops are falling and it’s so cold

The colorful Christmas tree is smiling brightly

Melissa from Pennysylvania smiles beautifully

and celebrates Christmas with her sweet family

Wish you Merry Christmas, sweet Melissa

The house is filled with the sweet smell of the cookies

She decorates her Christmas tree with vibrant colors

It really looks wonderful

I hope, Amy from Canada will send me a lovely wish

Wish you Merry Christmas, pretty Amy

A writer with a kind and beautiful thoughts

She looks so happy always

Tracy is celebrating Christmas from Michigan

Wish you Merry Christmas…

A poem

It was a tasty hot chocalate morning

The smell of the fresh- baked cookies filled the house

I found some magic in the air today

World is wrapped in winter’s fluffy white blanket

Warm sunrays illuminate the tiny crystals of ice

It was a breathtaking magic

Sweet fragrance of the crisp air slowly

whispers me; “It’s Christmas”

Season becomes flooded with joy

It was a delicious marshmallow evening

I saw the lush green Christmas tree glistening with vibrant lights

and garlands made of tinsel, popcorn, and cranberries

The tree looked so handsome with its silver bells and golden stars

Having fruit for lunch is a good choice. An apple or a handful of grapes in a lunchbox is such a sweet choice. You can happily consume a lighter lunch without feeling deprived and the fruit provides extra nutrition to keep your feeling full longer.

“I have a habit of eating only two meals a day since my childhood. Morning 8 a.m. breakfast and evening 6.30 p.m. dinner. I normally get fruits for my lunch.”

My experience

Being a fruitarian is amazing. I would like to say it is of course good. Personally, I tried this method a couple of days. Sometimes…

Stay alive and serve nature

Every fruit tree is beautiful. They just are. They are sparkling brightly with their diffrent styles, shapes and colors. Look at an apple tree. It dresses with red and glitters brightly. Plant a fruit tree. You have to take care of it everyday. Just think about the happiness in the faces of your son, and grand children when they will swing or eat from your fruit tree. I enjoyed caring for trees. I like to grow fruit trees in my backyard.

My experience

I currently have an orange tree, a cherry plant, two mango trees…
