A9

I took the car out on a gloomy evening & drove along the A9 people busy with farming & harvesting before the heavy rain cattle being taken home before the nightfall boys naughty flying their kites up in the sky still crazy, crazy, crazy buses drove faster passing my lazy car hot, hot, hot hoppers being burnt & served & shared by two of two wayside trees big, huge, gigantic weren't to be seen where had they been the lake filled with water fresh made room to fish both the day & night a candle's being lit to honor a hero dead for us a long time ago - The A9 Highway is a 321-kilometer-long (199 mi) highway in Sri Lanka, which connects the central city of Kandy with Jaffna, a city on the northern tip of the island. Due to the battle, which took place for nearly 30 years it got damaged. As a result, people were unable to use it. Just after the battle, it was re-opened. People have the opportunity to use it as they wish. A9 is believed to be the symbol of unity & friendship. - Saumya Aloysius
