Year-End Dinner Gathering at Gotabaya Rajapaksa's Residence

Date: December 31, 2016 
Location: Mirihana, Nugegoda, Sri Lanka 
Occasion: Dinner gathering at the residence of former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa

On December 31, 2016, I had the opportunity to attend a year-end dinner gathering at the Mirihana residence of Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

The gathering brought together a group of friends and associates in a relaxed and informal setting. During the evening, I also had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Having been involved in political and community activities since 2015, I regarded occasions such as this as meaningful experiences within my growing network of political and personal associations.

The evening provided an opportunity to spend time with fellow participants and conclude the year in a friendly atmosphere.

Photographs taken during the gathering, including a personal photograph with Gotabaya Rajapaksa and a group photograph with other attendees, remain part of my personal archive.

This occasion represents another memorable chapter in my involvement in Sri Lanka's political and social activities during 2016.
