I was also dreaming for some of the above, but one special to mention is I wanted to become a pilot one day. Most nights I dreamt, that I was just flying through clouds, stars and moon even without a plane. I observed anxiously and amazingly, huge planes flying little above our coconut trees, since Colombo International Airport was not very far from our house. I liked very much there roaring sound.

There is a belief that, if you go to St. Anthony’s Church at Vahakotte, Sri Lanka and plead something, you would definitely get it.

One day I got a chance to go to Vahakotte. I knelt down and prayed and requested St.Anthony, to make me a pilot one day.

Time has passed years and years but my dream never became true. St.Anthony might have decided that I was not a suitable guy for this profession. Still I come out and look up, when I hear that sweet roaring sound.
