These past two months, we have bid temporary goodbyes to two friends who have returned to Sri Lanka. Suraj had just received his permanent residency visa and now intends to marry his long-time girlfriend before coming back, while Bathi has just had a sudden change of mind and decided to pack up for home.
Days before each left, we had despedidas for them but no more than the usual tearjerker types. Over wine and Chef Tyrone's bay trout specials, spirits were as festive as the night for Suraj with lots of conversations like he wasn't leaving. With Bathi, food or no food, there seems to be a perpetual jovial atmosphere anyway, and you can't find laughter louder than that anywhere else, though. Thanks to a couple of beers and Kappila's surprising homemaker dishes, it was quite a night to remember.
Cheers to you, Suraj and Bathi!
