Ranveli Beach Resort



My family had come to Sri Lanka for a couple of weeks. It was a great fortnight by any standards, re-bonding with the family. We stayed at a beach resort (accommodation at US$ 12 per day for a family room, thanks to no foreign tourists!).

A great moment in the twilight was my son and I standing bare-bodied on the beach, holding our fluttering shirts above our heads – like a scene from Rang De Basanti.

It was nice to be able to teach my daughter Maths without losing my patience. Communicating with my wife has also become an exercise in sharing, rather than trying to impose our wills on each other.
