paddy field, and then the temple... The Rubber Corporation too was situated

in that estate,...We used to eat fruits found all over those places...We had
a wonderful child hood." Sunil remarks .
"The Kelani Raja Maha Viharaya was within walking distance from our home.
We loved the scene and the peaceful atmosphere surrounding it. "
