Wesak the “Month of Renaissance”.

Tonight, I go to bed with a very peaceful mind, knowing well that from now on, my family will  be safe in Sri Lanka and Bomb blasts and suicide bombings will only be a thing in the past.

I consider we have been lucky to have narrowly escaped two incidents in the past.

First, when a bomb exploded on the Air Lanka flight at the Katunayake Airport and then Brigadier Paramee Kulathunge’s life was taken by a suicide bomber in Kottawa.

But some families have not been so lucky and many of their loses and scarifies are unimaginable.

However, today we all can take solace and have a big sigh of relief, knowing well that the bloody war is finally over.

Wesak is a very important as well as an auspicious month both historically and religiously for the Sri Lankans and with the latest military achievement; I think it is most appropriate to name it as the “Month of Renaissance”.
