It was a Truly Beautiful Day! 💃

 It was a truly beautiful day!  I didn’t go alone; I planned this trip with my friends from the 23/24 batch who came from all parts of the country. We went to the university to watch "Silambu," a traditional dance festival organized as an assignment by the current first-year students. ✨

We started our journey from our homes early in the morning and gathered near Viharamahadevi Park by 10 AM. It was wonderful to meet everyone and talk to each other. After a delicious lunch, we all sat together on the ground, sang songs, and had a great time until 5 PM, before entering the university. 

​As aspiring undergraduates, we maintained a sense of discipline and peace while watching the festival. The sound of drums and the jingling of "Silambu" from the dancers made my desire to join this university even stronger! 🔥





​I want to say this with pride our university is very special compared to others. The practical side is very high here. The University of the Visual and Performing Arts is the only place that gives so many talented actors, dancers, and musicians to the world. 


​Even though I was tired from the long travel, I didn't feel it at all because of the excitement and the beauty of the event. Seeing our seniors performing with so much energy their flips and spins gave us a huge boost. The cheers and whistles from the crowd surely motivated the performers as much as they motivated us! 

​The festival ended around 9:30 PM. After having a happy dinner together, we all headed back home. I must say it again it was a truly beautiful day! ❤️🌙

Who Am I? The Final Chapter !

Image
​As I reach the 24th and final post of this blog, I want to step away from the academic theories and historical analyses of dance to answer a question that defines everything I do: Who am I? ​My Roots: Rajathalawa ​I am Amali Sewwandi, a daughter of a small, beautiful village called Rajathalawa, nestled near Gampola in the Kandy district. My identity is firmly rooted in my family. I am the daughter of a hardworking father who serves as a security guard at the SLTB depot and a devoted mother who keeps our home together. I grew up alongside two elder sisters one now serving in the Irrigation Department and the other a successful graduate working in insurance and a younger brother who is currently in Grade 9.                 ​The Accidental Dancer ​It’s ironic, but the person you see today deeply immersed in the world of dance was not always a lover of the art. I remember my father practically dragging me to a local Gurunanse’s class when I was a chi...

The Irresistible Legacy of Sri Lankan Spices in the Global Market 🌍

Image
​For centuries, Sri Lanka has been known as the "Spice Island." From ancient Silk Road traders to modern-day gourmet chefs, the world has always been captivated by the aromatic treasures found in our soil.  ​Here’s a look at why the global market simply cannot get enough of our flavors: ​1. Ceylon Cinnamon: The "True" Gold 🪵 ​While the world market is flooded with "Cassia," Sri Lanka is the only source of True Cinnamon. Foreigners adore it because it is safer, healthier, and has a delicate, sweet flavor that is impossible to replicate. It’s a premium staple in European bakeries and high-end wellness products!  ​2. Ceylon Black Pepper: The King of Spices 👑 ​Our black pepper is world-famous for its high Piperine content. This gives it a stronger "kick" and a much richer aroma compared to pepper from other regions. Culinary experts across the globe prefer it for its intense and authentic heat.  ​3. Cardamom: The Queen of Aromas 💚🍃 ​Known for its...
