The Lankan sojourn

Yes, it indeed wasa fantastic trip to the island nation. Few things notably came out namely

a. There was a distinct Indian presence: tyres, commercial vehicles, mobile phone companies, hotels, fast food joints, energy drinks etal. As I joked the other day, even the ocean is Indian.

b. The city of Colombo has recently come out of unrest. hey seem to have done so well in building the city economically and infrastructure-wise; clearly indicates teh sense of pride which each citizen must have taken in building the city. I am sure if this continues, this city would be on the global map much before a decade from now.

c. The cleanliness of not only the city lanes and sublanes but that of the country sie also attracts one.

d. Another thing Indians ought to learn is the sense of security that pervades in the city; we checked huge showrooms of Samsung, Nokia open just with a lock on a glass door at 1 AM. I cant imagine the same in India even 20 years from now.

I am planning to post a thanks letter to the Presient & Ambassador.
