62.0 Best Bath Tips You Will Read This Year. How To Enjoy Your Bath Time?

Hobbies! Today, I wanted to bring an article about one of my hobbies. I hope that you also have similar experiences that you can compare with my story. Please don't forget to share it with us if you have a fun bath than us. Sometimes this will be your hobby too. I know most of the people enjoy their bath time if they do not have a hurry for another schedule. If we can go out to have a bath with a few friends, then it will arrange a great get together.

In one of my posts, I wrote how did I bath when I was a kid. If you wish to read more about it, you can go through this article. Childhood is a mesmerizing memory, and that Bath Time was a valuable addition to that memory. As we did not have a tight schedule, we had enough time to enjoy our bath when I was a kid. I think my parents also had a good time and it was like a leisure time them too. There was no rush to move to another work by finishing the bath as soon as possible. If there were such a thing to hurry, then it was our meal. I can remember that my mother asked me to finish the bath soon to have lunch. However, she made that request after letting me enjoy my bath time for hours. So, it was a reasonable request.

River Bath! It was a river bath, and I was lucky to go there very often. As we moved to another location, I had to change it, and I never went to a river when we were living there. It was a city. So, that time passed with my primary education. Though I had a good bath time on the river, I never complained about the new water level that comes through a small tap line or shower. However, there was a bathtub in that bathroom, and sometimes I sank in that tub for hours when my parents were not at home. Lol... They thought that it was not good for the health of this creature who had a bath in the river for hours. It was like that.

From that era onwards, it was one of the main Water resources that I had to have a bath. After a few years, again, we had to change our location due to the father's job transfer. It was not an urban area, and we lived in a rented house. There were no facilities like the previous place. Water did not supply to the doorstep. So, it took a certain time for us to adapt to it. 

The well was the main water resource for us. We used a separate well to take drinking water, and there were marvelous water resources to have a bath. One well located in a paddy field, and I loved that place. It was a small well located in a green area. It is a nice scenery to imagine today.

Nature! We could take water easily. It required less effort as the water level came to the top. Even a small child could take water and have a bath. It was not a crowded place as well. My father did not come to that place as he used to have a bath at night. So, I went there with my mother and sister. When time allowed, we three went there. It was a memorable place because of a few reasons. One thing is its location. I loved that well which situated in a green area. The other thing is there was clean and cool water because of "Kumbuk" trees exist near the paddy field. The other thing is still, I can remember how did my mother wash my wound once we went to that well. It was a remarkable wound and it is another story. That Wound Story. So, I cannot forget that bath time. Still, I can remember the fresh air that comes through the paddy field when I was bathing cool water.

Once we moved to our own house, we did not want to go outside to have a bath. But we love to go to the river and well to have a bath. However, when I was moving to the school grades that have key Examinations, we cut down the things that we have done leisurely. We worked by looking at the clock. It was in the face. So, this bath time also such a key thing that I had to cut down, and gradually the bath gets restricted to the bathroom. Later on, I felt lazy to go to the river or the well if there was no friend or cousin.  

Priority! However, still, I could not cut down the time that I wanted to have a bath. Though it is a problem to others, still, I need a portion of the time I used in the river and the well in that paddy field. Though I had a rush to go to the office when I was a 9-5 employee, I gave priority to my bath time. So, when I had some sort of illness, bath time was the key reason that they pointed out. Lol... When I was sharing the bathroom with my cousin's sister, I waked up in the early morning to have a bath. Or else she did not have enough time for her preparation.

A few years back, one of my cousin's sister migrated to another country. She said that they have to use a small-time for a shower. She said that if I went there, then those people will send me back to my country because of the time I required for a shower. Lol... So, I would like you to invite you to my country to have an unlimited bath if you have not visited Sri Lanka yet. You can go to the sea, a river, or the well to enjoy your bath time. If you went through my article, definitely you will remember me too.

Go Green! As well as we should think about our environment as a part of our body. We are a part of this nature. So, if we destroy it, it means that we are destroying ourselves. We should let our children also have a nice time as we had. They also should be nature lovers to protect this earth. So, if you see a water tap that does not close properly, don't think twice to do your part though it is not your home. If you are the one who is leaving the office at the end, then make sure that you switch off the lights, fans, etc... before you leave. I know that it does not add an extra charge for your bill. You don’t need to worry about other's bills. But that should be the thinking pattern. We are a part of this universe. So, we should think globally to Protect our environment. 

Don't forget to enjoy your bath time, guys!

28.0 Amazing Trips. A Gift For Nature Lovers!

Most of the office trips ended up with tiredness or missing some events as always there were a few guys to mess it up. Some people laugh alone. The same thing is happening to me also now when remembering them. 

Some of them slept without eating even after having a few shots. They could sleep at home. That was our thought. But some of them drunk well and, behaved as nothing has happened. Their absorption level was high, I think. Some of them drunk well and, sat on somewhere for the entire day. They did not talk much and looked like cakes kept on the table. 

Some of them behaved like nut cases, and there was no end of the crazy things they did. Some of them stayed in the pool like dead fish. They did not come out. Some people sang songs. Some of them advised others and, that was the craziest thing I ever have seen. They gave me all the advice for teetotalers and, that was the funniest thing. It's like a forest where there were different animals. Basically, that is the most appropriate description that I could give for the explanation. So, we enjoyed their diversification from the events we participated in. The way that they have behaved was memorable and funny.

One day a few drunk guys went to the changing room and, they said that they can come quickly to play cricket once they ready. At that time all of us started to play cricket and, those few also taken into two teams. So, we were playing cricket for an hour. But they did not come. 

Though it was a question for everyone, no one went to visit them as the ground was a bit far away from the hotel. They did not answer their phones, and even some of them kept their phones in the ground's hut. After a few hours, they came and, everyone asked what happened to them. Then they said that they could not come out as the door get locked. The key was with some other guy. So, they came out via a window. So, we asked, why did not you call someone here. One drunk guy said that 'We came to this journey to enjoy. So, we should trouble nobody. Nobody. Normally he was the one who messed up everything in every trip and played the joker's role. So, it was the funniest thing we heard on that day and, we could remind and laugh for a couple of days.

At the end of the trips, the most terrible job done by the teetotalers and, they had to be the drivers of non-teetotalers. They could not avoid their request as friends and, somehow, they bore it up for the sake of friendship. However, they did not forget to blame them. But it's also useless, as most of them were not conscious. But they took their burden and, dropped them at home. When some parents did not accept their sons, they had to bring them to the bed even. So, in those cases, they had to listen to their parents also without doing anything wrong.

If we went trips on Sunday, some non-teetotalers did not come to work while some people came in the early morning as usual though they drunk like nothing. It was a surprise for me to see them in their chairs when I was getting late to go to the office those times. Then they said that I'm getting late without a reason and, laughed at me.

Apart from these trips, there is another memorable trip and, I wanted to go to 'Shripaadaya (Adam's Peak). As you know, it's a mountain️. So, you should be in good health to go there. However, I suffered from some grannies when walking. Lol... As this was not an easy trip, I could not find out people to go there. Therefore, I was waiting to go there for a very long period. 

I went there only one time in my childhood. My parents used to say that I completed the entire journey without other's support. They said that I did not ask for their help and, hiked peacefully. They were happy for me. My sister did not walk at all. My father and one of his friends carried her like a sack. However, I troubled them when sleeping in the night because of the climate. As per them, that was the only trouble I made during that journey. However, once I came home, I asked for rice to eat by rejecting all the other food. During that two days journey, I could not eat rice properly.

Shriipaadaya

So, even though I was thinking about going on this journey for a long time, I could not find out suitable colleagues because of the difficulty of this journey. My cousins also did not like much as they are not the kind of a hiking gang. Because of this, I could not find someone to go on this journey. Therefore, I informed my interest in this journey to my many friends, and they promised me to take me there once they go. 

So, one day my friend told me that his uncle's family is getting ready to go to 'Shriipaadaya. Our parents and these crowds have known each other well. So, I was happy about her idea and, I wanted to make it somehow. So, I said to my father that my friend is also joining with this journey though she was not. Meantime, I asked one of my younger cousin brothers to also come with me. Though he liked to go there, later on, he could not make it because of his official schedule. However, I did not inform my father, and he thought that both my friend and brother are coming with me.

A nice view captured on top of the mountain

So, once everything was ready to go, I said to my father that my cousin brother is not coming with me. As soon as possible he asked me to take a phone call with him. However, my brother could manage it without messing it up. But he did not get upset as he thought that my friend was there. Finally, I could leave home without trouble and, he came along with me to drop me. At that time, he asked that 'Where is your friend? Why did not she come here yet? He got angry with me once I told the actual situation. At that time, he asked me to take a phone call to my friend. But I did not call her and, said that her phone was not working. At that time, I could not look at my father's face as it had a devil look. So, he was scolding me and, it did not end until my friend's uncle came. Till then, he blamed me and, asked me to go back home. However, I did not agree with him and, I convinced that how did I make the arrangements to go to this long-awaited journey. But it was not a valid reason for him and, he was in his view.

Unfortunately, that uncle's family did not come on time and, I had to wait for about one hour. During that idling time, I had to listen to my father and, that one hour was long like one day. Meantime, a van stopped there to pick their friends, and they were also going to 'Shriipaadaya. There was a gang of young boys and, they were singing at that time.  

They put on sounds in high volume and, it was annoying music. I don't know how did they enjoy that music. At that time, my father suddenly thought that they stopped to pick me and, they were the people that I was going with. So, I corrected him soon and, I said that they will be here within the next ten minutes. At that time also, he asked me to go home. So, again and again, I had to remind my objective of this journey. For about another half an hour they came finally and, uncle got down from the van. Then he spoke to my father, and he introduced the other people. The entire crowd was consisting of aunties and a few young sisters with one young boy. Then only there was a smile on my father's face, and he was happy about the crowd. But he did not look at me and, asked those two young sisters to look after me. Lol...

However, my entire nose got blocked due to the climate before we reached there even. It was cold like nothing, and I immediately took some medicine to avoid the worst case. At that time, I remembered that my father warned me the same. He said to me that the climate was not good for my health. So, for those two days, my younger sister was the communication channel as my parents did not phone me. My younger sister contacted me and, communicated my details to parents. They were blaming for me with her as well. So, she said that her ears were also painful with my journey as she had to listen for many kinds of stuff because of me. So, I asked her to listen to whatever they said without pointing out my more mistakes.

Crystal Clear Water

However, finally, I could come back home without any trouble after a very tiring journey. My legs were painful like nothing, and I could not sleep well because of that pain. I was laying in the bed for a few days and, nobody asked about my pain even. They did not ask about my journey as well, though I explained some incidents with them. They did not react. So, as it was like talking to myself, I stopped telling about my journey with them. After a few days, I tried to show the photographs I had taken, but they did not want to see them. However, I was happy about my journey and, the photos I captured.

We went on that trip in April, a few days before Sinhala and Tamil new year. Therefore, it was not a crowded place and, there was a clean environment. I could capture that pure serenity. That environment was really suitable for meditation. In certain areas, there was no disturbance from a bird even. So, many times I asked my gang to go ahead and, waited in some places for a while. 

I just watched the environment and did nothing. Sometimes I was like an individual who did not come with any when staying such places alone. I did not take photos even. I just wanted to be a part of that nature. I could say that my mind relaxed by forgetting the pains I had in my legs. As I went that journey after a rush in my office work, it gave me great relief. If you are not a Sri Lankan, I would like to suggest you visit 'Shriipaadaya (Adam's Peak) in April before our new year days 13th and 14th. You can enjoy the environment and, you can see the real beauty of our country. 

 

A Buddhist Thero

Meantime, I thought that nature does not need any human though we need. But I think humans won't think about them as a part of the environment. I had such a thought of looking at garbage thrown away without keeping in proper places. I could not understand that how did they put the garbage in such clean places. There were very few people who cared about the environment. I saw they kept their garbage in their own garbage bags when there were no suitable places to put them.

At this moment also, some forest destruction is going on. ‘Wipaththu’ is such a reserve. So, in this situation, some people and communities raised against this forest destruction. They talked to others via social media and, conducted some protestations in their own areas. Some of them planted some trees and, distributed among the others.

I would like to mention something about the environment to you all my friends as I have pointed out some pathetic side of deforestation in our country️. This is a kind and genuine request. Please do think and care about your environment as per your own child. Please do not ever release harmful things to the environment. I know that we can make it if each of us could save our own territories without removing trees, protecting them and planting more. Teach kids to love the environment. Especially we should bring that message to our kids as they are the future. As per my knowledge, the good or bad things captured in childhood cannot be changed easily. So, as adults, it's always our responsibility to build a generation that loves nature.

12.0 It's All About Painful Thoughts - Pet Fish .

To become a proud owner of a fish tank with various and colorful fish was one of my dreams. I had to face for memorable incidents to maintain my hobby. However, I lost my interest also due to some of the incidents.

As a hobby, I wanted to maintain a fish tank in my childhood. I thought that it was necessary to bring a fish tank, but my parents did not like it. They said that it’s not an easy task as it takes an additional effort to clean and, need to keep away from our cats. But I said that I wanted some small fish called ‘Guppy’ to be placed even in a small pot. But they did not agree to bring a fish tank and, they were in the same beliefs.

But somehow, I thought to bring some colorful fish to keep in a fish tank and be the owner of a fish tank. It was a dream for me. That’s why I told my idea to school friends. Then one of my friends said that she could bring some from her fish tank and, she said that she has some colorful fish. I was very happy. So, once I came home, I searched for a suitable jar to keep my pets and, I could find out a small pot. Though there were some big pots, I could not take them as my mother was using them for cooking. She planted some flowers in old pots. 

So, that friend lived near our school. One day she agreed with me to bring them after school and, I waited for her. After a few minutes, she came with my dream and, I was so cheerful as I have been waiting for this moment for a long time ago. 

So, after that, I had to spend some more time to find out a bus with less crowd to bring my pets home safely. Anyhow, my dream fulfilled. I could bring them home safely and, as the first thing, I put them into the pot carefully. My friend gave some hydrilla plants with fish and, because of her kind donation, now my fish pot looks more colorful. It consists of different colors like red, orange, yellow, blue and green. But there were few drawbacks. One thing was, the fish are in a pot, not in a tank. We could not see them from outside as that pot was not transparent as glass. The way of using their small, colorful tails to swim could not see via this pot. As well as I thought they are not comfortable with my accommodation. But there was no clue for a fish tank as others did not like this job.

However, I was happy that my idea has gone well. My main task was to look at my pets as soon as I got up early morning, returned home from school, and before going to bed. 

My friend also regularly asked about the status of my pets. She was the one who taught me to feed them and, I followed up her instructions accurately. But one day I saw some of the dead bodies of fish ‘Sari Gappi’ and, they were floating on the water. It shocked me and, it was an unexpected situation for me. So, I could not imagine that the mistake I have done for their deaths. Sometimes it could be a problem in the pot. Then I told this problem to my friend and, she asked me to put some cubes of salt into the fish tank. But after a few days, I saw a few more have died and floated in the water. As I could not throw them away, I dug a small hole in the yard and kept them.   

     

So, after that, I kept on asking for a new fish tank and, I told that I wanted to keep others alive. I could remember that I troubled a lot for my parents. Then my father brought a small fish tank. After that, I prepared that tank by keeping the tank in salt water for a day to avoid any more deaths. Now, that problem was over and, I felt that my pets are happy now.  As there were a few more left, I talked to my friend and asked whether she can give new fish for my new tank. She liked to give some fish without any hesitation and, she also worried about the loss of my innocent pets. As well as she said that the same pathetic incident won’t happen as now, they are in a suitable place to live. So, this time my friend asked me to come to her home to bring the fish. I agreed with her, but I did not tell my parents. I knew their decision and planned to go there without their permission. 

On that day I went with her after school. We ran from the very beginning as my parents used to find me if I got late. We ran with our maximum effort. I thought that I could run if I did not have a big bag and a bottle. But I had to run with all those stuff. After a few miles, I fell down by hitting something in the road. 

There were few wounds in both my arms and legs as I fell down on a Tar road. It was the main road. There were some wounds in my legs and arms and, all were very painful. That weird and horrible look could make two of us mad. I did not cry because of too much fear and, my friend was so silent at that time. There was a house near that place and, an aunt and a small girl saw this incident. At the same time, that aunt tried to put some medicine into my wounds by looking at wounded legs and arms. My school uniform also got damaged. But I was afraid to put medicine as my parents were not there. And I knew how hard to bear up the pain of medicine. So, that aunt gave some cotton and, I kept on the wounds. It helped me to reduce the pain a bit at that moment and hide the blood. My friend was so scared and, she said that she could drop me on a bus. So, she waited with me for a bus. Meanwhile, we saw that my friend’s mother was coming to us as she was late.

Even we ran to reduce the delay as much as possible, now almost one hour was over. My main concern was how to answer the questions once I returned home and, it was more painful than my wounds. I knew that I may have to answer lots of questions. I was thinking about all those and reached home.  

Once I went home, my mother afraid a lot and my father was not at home at that time. I said that I fell down on the school ground when I was playing with some friends. Then it was the time to do the scariest task and, my mother was ready to put some medicine for my wounds. The cotton has stuck to the wounds with blood and, it was not an easy task to remove back. That was the worst wound that I have ever faced. Who knows these things before?. I could not bear up the pain once my mother was cleaning my wounds. It hurt me a lot and, it was painful like nothing. At that time I experienced the most painful moment as a child. As I have screamed a lot, one of the grannies in our neighborhood came to see what was happening in our home. I saw tears in her eyes too by looking at me. When my mother was putting medicine to my wounds, it made me crazy and, I screamed a lot. She told me that she would like to put more medicine than this stuff if I come across similar situations in the future. Later on, she cleaned my wounds when I was bathing and blamed me by reminding the silly things I did. So, I was like a beggar who has covered legs and arms with wounds. There were tears in my eyes for a few days because of the pain in both of my body and heart. 

Everyone asked what happened to me and for everyone, I said that I fell down on the ground. A few days later, my sister asked, 'You are lying. Right... She said that one of her friends told her that one girl fell down in front of their house and, that girl had a water bottle like a drum. 

Additionally, she said that her mother gave cotton for wounds. So, the water bottle was the suspicious thing for my sister and, that’s why she knew that I was lying. So, I got to know that the small girl was a friend of our satellite sister. However, I kept on telling that I fell down on the ground and, asked her to stop saying nonsense. But she did not accept and used to ask the same thing again and again for a couple of days.

After that, I lost my interest in my hobby. Even though my friend asked to bring some fish, I told that I don’t want them now and postponed. After a few days, the few fish left behind also died. Therefore, I didn’t want them anymore as it brought some painful memories via dead fish and my wounds. 

Time went fast and, again I thought to bring some fish to my fish tank. This time no one rejected my idea and, at that time they knew that I could take responsibility. So, this time I bought a big fish tank and colorful fish from another place. That place was selling fish for money. I got to know about this place from my friend and, it was the place where she also used to buy fish. So, those days it was my pleasure and hobby to see the way of swimming colorful fish in my tank. I enjoyed their behavior a lot. I used to clean the fish tank and therefore, it does not make trouble for others. Anyway, I also did not let others clean the tank after I lost a few small fish once my father cleaned the tank. Mistakenly, some of them had gone once he threw away the water from the tank. Step by step I added some gadgets like water motor, swimmers and some plastic stuff with colorful stones to make my tank more beautiful. So, it was fun for me to decorate the fish tank.

One day we bought a fish called ‘Catfish’ once we four went out of the home. It was a kind of fish who was changing the size of the body, according to the nature of the environment. His pet name was ‘Cattah'. 

As an example, if they lived in a big tank or a pool, they would be big buddies more than a normal one. So, the color of this fish was dark ash and, there was a silver line in his stomach area. I think it added some value to his beauty. Even though we were about forty kilometers far away, I brought him home very carefully. My father asked whether I can bring him carefully because of this distance. I thought to bring him once I got the opportunity and, I did not like to miss it. So, I said yes and brought my new pet carefully even though it was a hard task with the support of my sister. Their behavior was mischievous when they got scared. So, he scared a few times and, we also got scared all the time with him. Once he came, he was our new pet and, he brightened the tank. He looked like a ship in the sea and was the biggest fish in our tank. Later on, he used to jump out of the tank and, that was the main problem we had with him. It was not an easy task to catch him back. Once he jumped out from the tank, only me or father could place him back. My sister or mother was not able to do that as they scared to touch his slimy body. So, I bought a new roof for my fish tank and put some weight on top of the roof to protect my pet.

The biggest challenge was to take him out when cleaning the tank. As a best practice, we kept our cat in a locked room before taking 'Cattah' from the fish tank. However, I needed someone else supports to take him out and put him back. So, after a couple of years, he became a big buddy and, our tank was not enough for him. Therefore, I had to think about another good place for his accommodation. So, we brought him to our father’s younger brother’s house and kept him in their pond as it was a big one where our pet could live comfortably. As well, I did not want to worry about his safety as it was our relatives' place and, I could see him anytime I want. Even though it made me a bit sad, I had to do that for the sake of his happiness. He lived for about ten years. So, after that, again, my interest went out and, I did not want to keep fish as my pets. Therefore, I brought the rest of the fish to the same pond and pulled out my fish tank.

Maybe you remember the image of salmon tin and, it was a fish. I always remembered my ‘Cattah, once I saw this image. So, this happened when I was eating salmon as well. 

Then I stopped eating salmon. However, at that time I stopped eating meat and was half-vegetarian.

10.0 Nannies! We Made Them Crazy & Now They Are Horrible...

I think the nannies could make an impact on kids as they are the people who surrounded in kids for a whole day. As per the scientist view, the first five years of a child is the foundation for the rest of their life. The child used to capture everything as they do not have decision making power to make a choice. So, the family environment and family members should be good enough to offer the best to them. My grandfather always said that I had a good background during my childhood. Later on, I understood his view as an adult. However, I had both good and bad experiences with our nannies during my childhood. This story tells about them.

Time to time there were a few caretakers during our childhood to look after us as parents were not at home in the daytime. So, there was someone at our home until I turned around seven to eight-year-old. There were some ladies in different age groups. Some of them like our aunts while others were like our grannies. The one who mentioned as ‘Renuka’ in my previous article was such a lovely person. So, among them, there were a few who liked us well and, there were many who disliked us as we were not obedient kids.

I can tell you that this person rolled out many changes in our lives. However, we cannot directly point out their mistakes, when thinking about nasty behaviors we had as little ones. So, one nanny used to get my support for her work when my parents were not at home. She asked me to work on some tasks. I don’t know why I didn’t make any complaint against this situation which had been happening from a reasonable time. Sometimes that might be the skills of that person. 

She asked me to take the clothes from outside at rainy times and, asked me to hang them back when the rain was over. That was one main duty I had those days and, I obeyed with such advice well. As well as she asked me to clean the stuff once my sister finished playing. I had to keep the toys in order. Meantime I had to help for her love affair as well while doing these small jobs. It was like this. In those days our home was on a roadside and, that boy worked with some road renovations. He was a pleasant and fair boy who had curly hair. His smile also an attractive one. I think that smile made him more attractive and added value to him. As I remember, I saw this boy when we were flying kites via our window. When we were flying kites, our small kite fell down and, he helped us to get it back. On another day also, we saw him again when we play near that window. Now he became a friend and, always he offered his friendly smile for us even though he didn’t talk with us. So, one day I got another duty from my take carer and, she asked me to ask his name. I also did the job well without any hesitation and, it was a pleasure for me as well at that time.

However, now I do not remember what the name was but it was the first step of that love story, I think. That's what happened, of course. That's why we spent most of the time near the window by playing and flying kites as per our nanny’s wish. As we didn’t inform this to our mother, this went well without any hindrance. As little ones, we also did not see any specialty to tell my mother. However, this was not a secret anymore as my mother caught up when she was trying to exchange some letters.  Later on, I do not remember what had happened. But that incident was one of the best I can remember with our nannies stuff. 

Later on, there was a big mess because of that nanny and, it created further problems. 

As you know, we loved cats a lot. So, we always used to play with them and pet them when we were playing. But this person did not like cats and, she hated them. She did not want to see them with us. So, every time she tried to keep them away. In one day, this big riot happened once I fed the cats with some biscuits. As well as she complained that she had to clean all the stuff and, it's a never-ending job. Those were certain things she used to blame us. Parallel the never-ending ‘Meaww’ of our cat was a big headache for her. Our one also used to make the trouble even we fed many times. So, one day she tortured the cat and, said that she cannot bear up this trouble anymore. I also got angry by looking at our cat and, my limits were over at that time. As I could not bear up to it anymore, I also hit her and, both of us were very angry at that time. Suddenly, she took the cat and, threw away towards me saying 'Keep this bladdy shit with you. As per the nature of cats, he tried to hang in my body and then his sharp nails wounded me.

So, my sister hit her using the doll in her hand and, it made her angry a lot. When my parents came home, there was a big riot in the home. However, they could get to know some details from our neighbors even though they did not come to visit us when this was going on. Later on, I got to know that they revealed everything and, they told everything about chores I did at home as per her instructions. My mother and my father were very upset about this and, worried a lot as they did not know about this situation before. Finally, what has happened was, that person had to leave us the next day. My father asked her to go home as soon as possible. As well as mother had to stay home and looked after us. It was a loss for her and, she worried about her job for a couple of months. 

There was another lady who used to eat foods reserved for our use. She did not do it as a wrong thing and, did that saying the foods she ate were not good for us. Anyway, I remembered how she had fruits using that manner. We did not ask any more questions from her and let her have. Another one was a granny and, she used to pick us after school. So, every day she came to school. Those days I had a habit of dropping my school friends to their homes. Therefore, I used different routes to come home to do my duty and, it took about an additional half an hour to do this. So, this granny was real trouble for me and, I could not do my hobby when she came to pick me. As a solution, I told my parents that my friends identified her as my own granny and it was ashamed of me. So, I asked them to, not to send her to school. Finally, my parents agreed with me and, they let me come back home with my other school friends as I was in grade four those days. However, my mother could notice the late and again that granny came to pick me.

So, among all these people, ‘Renuka’ was the best lady we ever had. Right now, I don’t know about her. She was a kind and honest person. Apart from that, there was another relative elder sister who loved us and cared about us.

My personal opinion is that looking after a child is not just a job and, the nanny won't be able to do that if she/he does not love kids. I think they should have an inner willingness to correct the mistakes of little ones. To bear up to these things, they should have patience and kind thoughts about children. Otherwise, I think it's not kind of a job which can be done for a monthly payment like other jobs. I can see this situation nowadays by looking at my sister’s little one and his nannies. However, I think that the best people to look after them are their parents and grandparents. According to the childhood experience I had and the things I can see in this environment, I think some other person does not feel honest and loving feeling much. At any moment there is a higher probability for them to make physical or mental harm to little ones.

9.0 Hey Doggy…Here Are 6 Ways To Eat My Meat Better.

My Dream! Become an owner of a few pets was one of my dreams in childhood. But my parents did not like much as we did not have enough yard in our rented house. As well as my father received job transfers to various places from time to time and it was another reason. So, I tried to pet dogs and cats when I saw them anywhere. 

Even though I thought to write these stories according to the order it happened, I forgot three to four stories before the article ‘Grade 5 examination’. So, this is also a memorable incident and a lesson. Today also I do not prefer to pet any dogs except our own dog at home because of this incident. 

Those days we lived in a home, which gave by the government as quarters for my father. It was home on the roadside and, the yard was a restricted area for us because of that reason. However, I went out one day and, my younger sister also accompanied me. She observed my behavior those days and, it was her Hobby to find out my faults. In this case, I did not ask her to return home as if I asked her to do so, I also don’t have the opportunity to go outside. She did not let me do things that were not applicable to her. That was her point. That’s her rule those days and, she pointed out all with my mother. So, both of us were in the yard.

That Sleeping Dog Was A Devil, Friends! I saw black and brown colored sleeping dogs when going to and fro in the yard. That dog slept well in the corner of the yard. By looking at that dog, I could not keep my legs and hands as it is and, what I did was I touched his head via my foot. I thought it would let that dog sleep well, but he looked at me horribly in unexpected ways at that time. At the same time, I turned back and, tried to go back home as that look get frightened me. But that doggy was faster than me.  That doggy bit my leg before I went to the entrance. Actually, it’s good not to see the way that the dog has bitten me after hearing the sound came from his inner mouth. It was a Dangerous Voice to hear. Later on, I saw ten to twelve people came to our yard when I was screaming and, that doggy ran away. My sister climbed and hanged in a window at that time like a cat. At that time she was so silent. Then somebody asked about my mother.

At that time, I was conscious and came into the real world. So, how can I tell this to the mother?. I definitely knew that it becomes a Big Disaster once I told her. As there were a few faults, I knew that I had to face her punishments. 

However, I went inside into the home, searched for my mother, and, I felt that blood was coming out of that wound as well. At that time, she was in the kitchen. It's like that I lost somewhere. My heart was weeping and, I did not feel much pain in my wound because of the scary thoughts I had at that time.

Weeping Heart! I reduced my volume as much as possible and, told her that 'Mom, a doggy has bitten me now. That was it and, as I expected she gave a few slaps and, I was helpless like nothing. Now only I could cry and, I cried like nothing. Tears came from my eyes like water and, at the same time, I could hear that my mother was blaming me. Then my sister came and told me that 'A lot of people are in our yard and they asked the mother to come out. Then the only mother realized what has happened and she quickly came to the yard by dragging us as well. Meanwhile, my sister said that 'Today father also will punish you. So, all the people who were in the yard told details of many specialized doctors. One of the women in that crowd said that it was a Crazy Dog. Additionally, she explained the sickness of such dogs. 

In the meantime, our neighbor's aunt came and told that 'We will bring her for 'Sinhala' treatments.  There was a specialized doctor here. Even though my mother had been living in the area for a couple of years, she had not gone too far. So, she accepted the advice given by that aunt as she was the only one my mother knew at that time. As she decided to visit that doctor, we two went home and got ready to go there. Still, she was stressed over the careless mistake I did for myself and talking endlessly. My sister also helped my mother and, she added some more points to my mistake. I did not have anything to say as excuses, as it was My Mistake. Therefore, I listened to them and cried like nothing. It was an endless pain for me that day.

Anyway, we consulted that Doctor and came home with some medicine. Later on, I went to visit another doctor once my father returned home as he took me to another doctor. As I remember the doctor gave me an injection and, she said there is an injection course to take for a few months. However, my father did not say anything, and, he did not blame me. He just asked what has happened by looking at my helpless status. It was a big relief for me after listening to all the advice. But I thought that he would blame me. It was a good day for my sister and, she told me about the bravery action she took in this incident. How she has deceived that doggy by climbing to the window was the bravery action she did as per her view without helping me. So it was her Main Topic those days and, she used to tell it with everyone. 

Lessons Learned! So, after this incident I always maintained a distance with dogs, even they are pets of someone. I did not even touch a puppy though they look pretty and lovely because of this bad experience. I remembered the way that doggy looked at me by looking at other dogs as well. If I met a dog on the road, I used to keep a distance of a few miles. I did not feed them directly and asked someone to do when I saw any starving doggy. 

One day I went to a friend's house. There were many big and Lovely Dogs there. All were living in the house. This idiot did not even mention her doggy crowd me before. My friend also did not know about my story with doggies. Even though my friend and her mother told me that these dogs do not bite several times, I was so scared. When I was far from them that aunt asked: “Don’t you like pets though you are vegetarian?”. Then I told them this story too. After that, my friend sent a few big doggies to the inner room by looking at my uncomfortable status and, it was a big relief for me. 

Those days there was a famous painting Advertisement on TV and, there was a fluffy doggy. Even though I had a bad experience with doggies, I wanted to adopt such a lovely doggy. It was one of my dreams. That dog was so fluffy and pretty. We never had such a pretty one, though there were a few doggies at our home from time to time. So, one day I saw such a lovely doggy when I was staying at my father’s elder brother’s home. That doggy was walking in their yard with his owner. I could not control my inner scary feelings this time and, I wanted to touch that puppy. But the owner of that puppy did not like much and, she said that that puppy does not like visitors. Lol...

There was a doggy called 'Whita' in our home and, he died because of sickness. On the next day, I had an exam also, but I could not concentrate on my studies because of his situation. We gave medicine and, all of us worried about 'Whita's sickness. So, after a few hours, we lost him. He died. Then as the last thing, I closed his body using my towel and, I thought it was the biggest thing that I could do for my lovely doggy. Later on, my sister said that it was the worst thing that could be happened for somebody as I used my towel.

.

So, these are some fun, sad, and scary memories about Doggies.
