Bicycle බයිසිකලේ

The creation Bicycle බයිසිකලේ

Friendships which started even from childhood need very much effort to maintain and flourish. We generally expect them to remain in our lives forever.

School and University life was a challenge and enlightening experience for me. It facilitated my personal growth and development and provided me with lifelong attributes. A rainbow of cultures….. The blossoming of friendships…… the beginning of new life… everlasting memories…ultimately, the best days of my life …. ; Still it flows ….

Our friends help us to develop self-esteem, self-awareness, and self respect. They also help us become socialized into new roles throughout adulthood. In adulthood a person's life satisfaction is strongly related to the quantity and quality of contrasts with friends. People tend to have more friends and acquaintances during young adulthood than at any later period. As they grow older, and particularly if they marry and have children, their network of friends shrinks significantly. Although their numbers decline further in later life, friendships are still very important.

A number of consistent themes underlie adult friendships. Canadian and US researchers, now at San Francisco State university, have summarized these into broad categories. Those dimensions are found in friendships among adult in all ages. Already I wrote few more poems in additions to this creation on this concept. In future you may read more articles and poems under this broad and interesting subject. Please keep in touch.

Please read the poem " Bicycle බයිසිකලේ " and write your feelings.

Bicycle බයිසිකලේ is the edited version of "Youn Wiye Paara Dige - යොයුන් වියේ පාර දිගේ" published in "Mawbima" newspaper - Sri Lanka and FB.

Enjoy life.
