My Favourite sport

     Cricket is my favourite sport. It was started in Britain. People enjoy cricket very much. Everyyoun likes to see cricket. Cricket is a game in which 2 teams of 11 players play on the field. In the middle of the field, there is a 22-yard square-shaped pitch. The game of cricket is mainly divided into three parts. These are ODI matches, T20 matches and Test matches.

       Each team has a turn at bat; one team does the actual batting, while the other bowls and fields to prevent the other team from scoring. Each team will get one or two chances to bat, depending on the type of game.This one time is called an innings. During the running of the match, one of the keeper team is known as the bowler and he throws the ball along the pitch to the batsman. The batsman hits the ball with the cricket bat. Then, if the ball crosses the line, he can move to the other end of the pitch and score points. The batsman keeps batting until he runs out. The innings of the batting team ends when ten batsmen are out. Then, after a short rest period, the characters of the two teams (batting, fielding) are switched again and the other team wins by surpassing the points scored by the other team.

Colombo City

Image
  Colombo is the capital city of Sri Lanka. And the country’s largest city in terms of population. It is a fascinating city located on the west coast and with a stunning harbor surrounded by white sandy beaches. A network of canals at the center of the magnificent 160-acre Beira Lake defines Colombo. While pursuing their degree, it is the perfect place for students to immerse themselves in a wealth of culture, history and entertainment opportunities. 2,000 years ago, Arab traders established themselves in Colombo, beginning the city's long history. The city has traditionally been a desirable trading port because of its significant natural harbor and fields of tropical plants and spices. Most of today's five-star hotels are located in the area around the fort, where Portuguese explorers first set foot in 1505. They quickly gained control of much of the coast. The Brookings Institution estimates that 752,993 people live in the Municipality of the Colombo Metropolitan Area, whic...

One of my favourite musician (Yanni)

Image
     Yanni, whose full name is Yanni Chryssomallis, was a prominent role in the development of New Age music in the latter half of the 20th century. New Age music is a typically unrousing subgenre of popular music that is frequently totally instrumental and used for relaxation or meditation.       Greek parents encouraged Yanni Chryssomallis to pursue music as a child, but they under no circumstances put any pressure on him to do so. He was raised in a middle-class family. He never imagined that he would eventually pursue music as a career; at the moment, he just enjoyed making songs. He competed for the Greek national swimming team while he was a teenager, breaching the age limit for the freestyle at 14. He moved to the United States at the age of 18 to enroll in the University of Minnesota, where he earned a psychology degree before graduating in 1976. He didn't start concentrating on music till after graduation.      The instrumental album...
