My brothers however, excelled in other fields as they grew up. I must say I gallantly learned to play the first two bars of a Church Hymn, while on holiday in Ootacamand with my family. I must have been 10 years old then and I remember standing on the frost for the first time absolutely thrilled, as we don't have snow in Sri lanka. It was December and we took the blue mountain express from Coimbatore I think to Ooty. I know our flight from Ratmalana was to Trichinapalli in South India and we stayed at the hotel Ajantha. I have never eaten such delicious thosai again, as we had there. Any way getting back to the Nilgiris, we could have walked faster than the so called baby train express, unlike the wide bodied train from Trichy to Coimbatore but I must say the scenic beauty was splenderous. My elder brother sister and I went rowing on the lake and it was so beautiful and relaxing. When I returned to the hotel, I wrote myself a post card, which I have somewhere with my belongings. Must end now thanks for reading my blog. Sorry Joanne, I had to give way to the computer maintnance guy but I meant to say my parents probably thought I’d become egocentric.

Besides expressing ones self creatively, it would guarantee that one never has to go hungry in the free world. Sadly though, I was not given the same chance my two elder brothers had. They were not serious learners according to our cousin, who was their lady instructor but too playful light hearted and childish as minors.
