Unlike other years this year was somewhat quite catastrophic with various natural disasters taking place and so many other changes that took a different turn in life. If you have noticed, even the weather has taken a different turn, as the cool wind in the air seems to be quite hot in spite of the fact that this is known as the coolest month of the year. Every year we take pleasure in thanking you, our loyal readers. Even this year we have a token of appreciation from the Siddhalepa Spa for a twenty minute foot massage. Do refer to page number 20 and take it with you for a relaxing, FREE foot massage. Astra has put together some interesting recipes for those who will have a vacation period to try out their delectable treats! We are proud to end the year with a personality that created a “rebel” in design, Ruchira Karunaratne is a name synonymous in Colombo as she is one of the first young designers to open up her designer store at Majestic City a few years ago. Our real lives story this month is from Kandy – this little girl is a talented achiever waiting to be given an opportunity to show just how special she is in society. A moving story of two wonderful parents that gave their second sibling a new meaning in life. Although there were many events that were covered during the past few weeks the space is limited, if your event has not appeared in this issue do bear with us as we will publish at our earliest as our objective this month is to give you as many ideas as possible for the upcoming season to add more value to your lifestyle!
