Summer time is over, at last. I’m just coming from the beach: I dared once upon a time cold October waters and took my last swim. I’m almost frozen and now I don’t want to go out, I am not in the mood…The blues you know, the moody blues is always taking me over a little, in autumn…
I know that I am going to find myself often watching the clouds running in the sky, and the rain cracking the branches upon my window… And when it happens, I can’t find anything better than eating some bizarre oriental dishes, which invariably get the power of defying my subtle sort of melancholy…

In Dondaduwa, a Sri Lanka south-west located coastal little town, I was invited to a local wedding breakfast. I felt honoured by this unexpected ask and was really curious. Just past the sunset, a little crowd of friends and relatives gathered an open space behind the beach with a row of poor fishermen houses. The bride and the bridegroom were set a little apart, sitting on a pair of little armchairs, smiling silently to their guests and –apparently- never talking to each other. A few young boys, waiters actually, a tray full of spare cigarettes or candies in their hands, moved politely about the guest. A few soft drinks were drunk by women and kids while the men allowed themselves some bottle of arrack…
Last July, when my sister got married and celebrated comfortably, I couldn’t escape remembering the poor and intense Sri Lanka party I attended.
