Sri Lanka, Sept. 13 -- I had a long vacation due to the Covid-19 lockdown. I along with my sisters did many useful things during this period. I planted different plants, helped my father in washing vehicles and helped my mother with her cooking and at times quarreled with my sisters.

I can still remember celebrating the Sinhala and Hindu New Year with all my family members. I played with my sisters every day. I will never forget the Covid-19 lockdown period.
