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 and balancing this poor and intense Sri Lanka party.
