They have no income and very limited 'choice' of career. In the evenings I'm joined by a group of children who come to 'play school'. There must be enough different fruit and vegetables to have a different one every day for two years. Social diaries can get very crowded if you don't restrict the number of invitations you accept and Sri Lankans are so hospitable - there are times when my digestive system cries 'halt'. Church, pansala, kovil or even Moslem weddings, provide a rich variety of experiences - available usually in a mixture of 3 languages and even more cultures.
Friends range across the social spectrum.
Housemaids are delighted when we join their families for New Year celebrations and invitations come from every quarter.
