End semester exams...

Hmmm.... These days people in my university are so busy coz the end semester exams are in next month.. They are looking for notebooks, papers and so many other stuff.. It seems to me that most people are stressed. There might be some lucky individuals who may get stimulated coz of stress, but most people are worse than how they normally are, when stressed. So what I think is that getting tensed is not what is required at the moment.

Necessity

So this is May, the month most Sri Lankans celebrate vesak which is the most important festival for Buddhists. It marks the birth, enlightenment and passing away to Nirvana of the lord Buddha. Vesak is a cultural and a religious festival which is celebrated in the full moon day in May. So people make vesak lanterns and so many other things to celebrate vesak. There is a concept very special than vesak lanterns. It was introduced thousands of years ago. Even in the time of lord Buddha this was used according to books. It is, giving food and other things for free. In early times people who were very rich and also kings made places where poor people can have food for free. They did that as a social service. So in vesak season people collect money and give things for free, mostly it is food. Rice, bread, noodles etc are given free for anyone. So people wait for hours inques and eat.

"Father's love is like a bus conductor's change rupee (Sri Lankan rupee is the currency in my country) ". He said he saw it in a taxi. So he asked about our ideas on this topic. Some people answered the question (like fathers do not show their love) and I thought about it while travelling to home and here is what I think about it.
