Pictures from Urmi's 5th birthday

Today is my darling daughter Urmi's 5th Birthday. We have planned a simple birthday party at home for this evening. We will be having few games with her friends and and I am sure its going be lots of fun!!!!!

Our President Mahinda Rajapaksha has declared the country "liberated" from Tamil Tiger rebels after a 26-year war. Today is the most significant day of our history. Throughout the country people are celebrating this moment with flags and firecrackers.

We look forward for a peaceful future, where people belong to all different communities can live with harmony. We all waited for this day, and now it's the time for all of us to get unite and build our nation.

The government also has declared tomorrow as a national holiday.

Today, we are seeing the most significant and crucial time period of Sri Lankan history of our days.

During the past weeks thousands of hostages has being rescued by the Sri Lankan government, who were forcefully captivated by LTTE as human shields. The whole country has gathered to help these innocent Tamil people, our brothers and sisters.

For nearly 30 years, we have being living with an ongoing war and we always had a hope for a future with peace, where all Sri Lankans can live with harmony. That day is not so far......
