At present, the situation in Sri Lanka is not so good. This is a time when people are living with emotional distress. The reason is the current economic situation in the country. ![IMG_20220401_120130.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaKhcEo3Z9BRRRfjUwo68kvJhaKJdJvY9yf1UsRu92akY/IMG_20220401_120130.jpg) _{A Facebook image}

A similar situation prevailed in the country yesterday as well. The President's house was raided by a group of people. This is due to the fact that human beings cannot afford inflation and do not have an income commensurate with inflation. Expenditures that existed a few months ago are now less than 1/3 of the cost. ![IMG_20220401_012848.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVQCdA7rSSrnveyGDMpdHcfyMijSfmmEhPHunnrZyyKd2/IMG_20220401_012848.jpg) _{A Facebook image} Under such circumstances, today is the first day of April. So anyway, it was a special day for us on steemit. The reason is that the SPUD4STEEM competition is held on the first day of every month.Also, April is a special month for all of us in Sri Lanka. The reason for this is that the Sinhala and Tamil New Year fall in the month of April. However, my feeling is that this year is a bit different compared to previous years. Below is my wallet before power-up. ![IMG_20220401_115936.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaARF715t5zzxuYGQ6N3a28iQyxomrMqwCUZ2fhdH1uo3/IMG_20220401_115936.jpg) This is my wallet after powering up. ![IMG_20220401_120109.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYSfzKVEQR1ATxxokie7prMyjXFS482BtJhpM8nC2CdCS/IMG_20220401_120109.jpg) Thanks to @kiwiscanfly for organizing this contest as usual, and I invite you all to power up. So I hope to further empower my community, SteemSrilanka, by delegating.
