Last Tuesday was an unforgettable day for my family. It was my elder sister's daughter’s 1 st birthday. When I got up in the morning my mother was busy making “Kiribath”. My dad was doing gardening early in the morning and my sister and brother were getting ready for the birthday party. I was looking for our sweet little angel and there she is, still sleeping with her favorite teddy bear “Pooh”. She is turning one and still can’t believe that a whole year has been passed with so many sweet memories to cherish. She is the first baby of our family so ever yone's  love is with her always. I still can remember the first day how she came to our home from the hospital. After making all the arrangements we started our party in the evening. Some of our relatives gathered with us for the party. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see the birthday girl. At last she came wearing a beautiful pink color frock with her cute little smile. She doesn't  know that this is her first birthday but...

It was my first ever experience. This was happened in 2017, When I was in grade '12'. I participated for a International Folk Dance Festival in Sardinia, Italy. The competition was carried out for two weeks and there were contestants from various countries such as Taiwan, Uruguay, Mexico, Russia etc. We got the opportunity to see various folk dancing items but which I learned there was nothing can compared to our traditional dancing culture. The audience was amazed with our performance and we got so many  appreciations as well. The opportunity I got to represent my country in front of a different audience was amazing and the experience I gained was immense. It is the most memorable incident in my life and the moments we shared will never be forgotten.
