Scene from daily life

Sumanasena is our driver, and he’s a damn good one. He also happens to be an insane 70 year old kid. These two factors combined the other day, when we were late for classes at the university. It was really like a rollercoaster ride…dodging around people and cars, going over bumps and around corners. He was in absolute control of his vehicle and in tune with his surroundings (I swear that man knows every road in Sri Lanka like the back of his hand). Still though, it was the sort of feeling you get in a rollercoaster: knowing you’re safe, yet grinning at the sheer insanity of it all.
