I successfully passed the GCE Ordinary Level Examination at Uva Highland Tamil Maha Vidyalaya and completed my advanced level in the Commerce stream at the same College. My father works as a vegetable vendor and my mother is a housewife. From an early age, I was very good at playing cricket. I have achieved various achievements at the school and provincial level in cricket. I got to know through the Uva Shakthi institute that there was a programme regarding photography at the Center for Policy Alternatives while I was practicing cricket in Badulla. As a result of this program, I gained a lot of knowledge about photography and matters that are pertinent to life. I also had the opportunity to lay the foundation for my future.
