Book Description

Situated at the very heart of the ancient Maritimes Silk Route, Sri Lanka is probably the most colonized country in South Asia, having played host during its two-and-a-half-thousand-year history to numerous civilizations that have made it their home giving its people and customs a certain quirkiness. In this collection of humorous essays -Ashok Ferreys first work of creative non-fiction, the author attempts to come to grips with the gloriously complex, hugely illogical, absurdly satisfying society that he has been privileged to call home for the past thirty years.
