Hello Chamindra Aiya

I just nicked your email address from Ammi's computer so i thought I'll say hi. Hope you're having a nice time with Sachi Punch and bappi. We're all eagerly waiting for nirma punch to come back. You sound like you all had a nice time.

We're all fine here. Joe continues to to and fro between home and Trinco. I spent a week with him there last month. Ammi is busy with her usual stuff. I'm still enjoying being freelance and unattached to any institution though most of my part time work seems to come from university! I just finished a consultancy at Kelaniya and about to sign another contract with another department starting from November. October is holiday time 'cos we'll be in the UK.

The weather here has been dreadful with tons of rain. Whoever heard of rain in August. Neraj had his 10th birthday and had planned a cricket match on the 30th which was a washout. So we stayed in and played table tennis on their dining table!!

Ammi is missing Sachi punchi, she was complaining with both sisters away she has no one to gossip with. She went for a family wedding last week -- of a cousin's son -- and had sat in the wrong hall till she realised it was another wedding. Then she found the right one, but came home complaining that all her cousins who are younger than her are either deaf, can't eat, choking on the food, or have lost their memories.

Will go now. I'm writing reports today so should get started I guess (the bliss of working from home). Love to punchi and bappi and Ranali and especially you.
