Dear Kish,

You've asked me how I'm. Health wise I am getting better. But there are some days which I suffer from pain. I don't do much travelling now as I feel really exhausted after standing in crowded buses. I think I'm a bit depressed. It's likely 'cos of the pain. I am working on it now.:)

I haven't done anything regarding the M phil. Ramaya got me the latest book on gender and language. But I still haven't read it properly to think critically about it. At the moment I've lost the initiative to do anything. I need to pull msyself together and work on it.

My contract with ICES ends today. I'm thinking of working part time (2 1/2 days) with Shimi. I want to stay home a bit and get better. T's sister offered me a job at the UNDP (four months of work). I declined as it involves travelling to Kandy. I don't think I can handle it now.

I met Nilu. She seemed to be alright. I almost forgot - thank you for the CD. It's interesting. I will go and see Nilu again soon.

That's all for now.

Mihiri

P.S.:- G wrote to me two days back to say that she got married on the 31 Aug. It had been just a civil ceromony. Both G and Rj are working. She sent two photographs. will send them to you.

Upeka is coming back with her baby to stay with her mother. Her sister got a schol for her PhD in the UK and left last month.
