My Hometown

 Wattala

Wattala is my Hometown and I am deeply in love with my hometown. I grew up in this area since I was born. It is a large suburb of Colombo city, in Western Province, situated around 9 km from Colombo city centre. Around Wattala, there are many villages and towns, such as Kerawalapitiya, Hendala, Hunupitiya, Bopitiya, Elakanda and etc.
 

I think wattala is a great place for me for many reason. Wattala is a densely populated area. Having all the facilities at hand, makes daily activities easy. Schools, Banks, Supermarkets, Bakeries, Restaurants, Cafes, Hospitals, Private dispensaries it’s all there in around Wattala. The town is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet it is a key urban centre with all the conveniences and facilities.

There are many Churches, Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, Mosques are spread throughout the area. Though it is a majority Roman Catholic area, people of many faiths live here in peaceful. 

Wattala has a combination of Government  and International schools, such as Lyceum International School, O.K.I, Good Shepherd Convent, St Anthony’s College and St Anne’s Convent within a short distance away. Kelaniya university, one of the prominent universities in the country and the Ragama medical faculty are also located here. 

Also there are many hospitals, hotels, super markets, shopping malls, restaurants in Wattala. Hemas Hospital and Nawaloka Hospital are two of the best hospitals here. 

There are supermarkets like food city, keels, arpico super center in the area.


Popular international brands such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Dominos, Dinemore and McDonalds are now available in Wattala. 

As mentioned above, there are many facilities in my town. As far as the environment is concerned, there are many possibilities of environmental pollution. Because there are more vehicles, more factories and fewer trees. But I can say that my city is a great city in terms of facilities. I love my Hometown.

The place where life begins  and love never ends A family is a group of people mostly living together and sharing an emotional bond. There are large and small families, and they can be nuclear or extended. Families made up of a mother, a father, and their children are called nuclear families. A family consisting of mother, father, children and grandparents is called an extended family. I live in a joint family. There are six members in my family which includes father, mother, sister, grandfather,  grandmother and me.  We all live happily and peacefully together. My family has been always by my side in ups and downs. They have taught me how to be a better person. For me, family is the first school in my life.  My father's name is N.A.Sisira.
