“Old Ceylon” is lovely, chilled out and surreal beyond explanation. One small patch of land, nicknamed as the ‘teardrop of India’ perhaps has the sweetest people on earth and its landscapes diversified from hilly terrains to sandy beaches.
Why would we prefer living anywhere else when we are blessed to be from Sri Lanka?
So, here are 19 reasons why we Sri Lankans love belonging here.

1. Even after being dwindled by the civil wars and tsunami in the recent decades, Sri Lanka has stood its ground and is today, one of the most peaceful countries in the world.

14. Because for a day you can live the life of a prince and a princess while getting married in traditional Sinhalese way

15. In spite of being a developing nation, Sri Lankan traffic is so much more sane and less noisier than our neighbouring nations

19. Serendipity, the term that implies the happiness when you discover something unsought for, is derived from the Persian name of Sri Lanka, “Serendib”, which means “island of gems”.
