A Day in Kandy: Maanvi’s corner
When my Pappa told me that we are going to Kandy.. I thought that place is filled with candies 😉
Tooth Relic temple: Tooth Relic Temple is a must visit place in Kandy. The most revered site in Sri Lanka. The shrine overlooks the vast expanse of the Kandy Lake.
The importance of this temple is that Lord Buddha’s tooth has been preserved and hidden within a gold casket. We visited the Temple during noon. My parents were amazed to see the well protected inner shrine where it is kept.
Walk around the Kandy lake also known as ‘Sea of Milk’ was beautiful and very peaceful. It is surrounded by Mara trees and it has a beautiful walking path. There are lot of venders who sell snack and drinks in between. My parents tried some local foods around the temple. The soothing sounds and calming waters of the lake will definitely erase the hustle and the bustle of the town.
Gem Factory and Museum: My Mom wanted to visit Gem museum, There we saw a video documentary of how Rare earth materials like gems, rubies, graphite are mined in Srilanka.
Kandyan dance and cultural program: The dance performance was filled with so much of energy. The drumming, juggling, acrobats & their colorful costumes was very impressive.

Few tips before you visit Kandy will make your travel smoother with a better experience:
- Adults don’t have the privilege to have prams/ strollers, always carry umbrellas, sunscreens, sunglasses with you.
- Strollers are not allowed inside the sacred temple, get ready to carry your child on your shoulders
- Carry water bottles
- Don’t buy tickets of tooth relic temple from strangers

Chronicles of Yellowie & Vader: A Lovely Beach Date
I followed my heart, and it led me to this beach. This is my home, it’s sand will welcome me as my mother’s open arms. The breezes from the ocean stirs my heart, inspires my imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.
The best and most beautiful things in the world must be felt with heart.
It is a great place to relieve the soul-crushing stress. I sit here quietly & escape the hustle bustle of city life. It instantly eases all the worries I have.
Letting my tyres sink in the sand and swinging my vipers over my front glass, I drive down the empty beach that I am very lucky to have all to myself and enjoy the breeze.
“Happiness is a day at beach with my love.”-Yellowie
There are a lot of reasons why this beach is my favorite place to be..
1. Bright blue skies and blue water of the ocean,
2. The sound of the mighty waves crashing up against the shore
3. As it is a place less explored, the privacy it gives me is the biggest reason for me to love this place a lot.
“For me life is nothing but.. sky above, sand below and you beside.” -Yellowie
I’m very clear in my mind that I’m not gonna share this beauty with anyone else on this planet. To protect its beauty and to save my privacy I never shared it with anyone till now.
“A smile on your face, a shell on my top and sand on my tyres is happiness for me.” – Vader
But today, this is going to change. My boy car-friend my majestic blue ‘Vader’, my favorite car in the whole world, is on his way here to meet me. It’s been 1 month since I’ve met him. I kind of miss him and I can’t wait to make every moment we spend on this beach special..
“Our Love made our life worthwhile.” -Yellowie
