4 years ago on this same day people of Sri Lanka were still merry making as it was right after christmas and some where at temples as it was a poya day and some others were getting ready to celebrate the new year to come. All was normal until 9.25am when a great wave of sea water dashed into the island and started sweeping away thousands of lives. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts every one was swept away without mercy by the sea. Every one in the country was affected by this natural disaster called the Tsunami by some way or the other. The disaster did not looks at race, religion, colour, political party or anything. What ever that came in its way was brought down to pieces. This was the situation on that day 4 years ago. 26th December 2004. A day that is remembered by the whole world. A day that killed over 250000 people in one day. A day in which one of the worst natural disasters in the world happened. The whole world came out to help each other. Millions of Dollars were given as relief. Everyone who survived this disaster helped in some way possible to help the others. A day in Sri Lankan history where people of all races, religions, political parties got together. A day in which a new Sri Lanka was to be born. As said before many lost their lives and still many are stated to be missing.
So on this day, we shall remember our brothers and sisters who lost their lives in this natural disaster and pray to god that they may rest in peace.
