Early Arab traders called Sri Lanka Serendib. This is the word that gave rise to ‘serendipity’, which means ‘the faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident’. Those traders knew what they were about when they named this island off the tip of India. After long journeys on its rural roads, IZATUN SHARI makes some pleasant discoveries of her own.
THE drive to the Culture Club Resort was quite an experience what with children jaywalking heart-stoppingly in front of us and bulls fighting in the middle of the narrow, uneven road!
