They give us strength and support, courage and confidence, love and affection.

It was a 3 day trip to Sri Lanka. We ditched the old tradition of booking a hotel and reserved a homestay with the local family there.

The most unusual thing that I experienced on this homestay was to cook for me and my friends. This was my first hand experience with cooking and that too at a far away destination from my home. This was just the beginning of the adventure and more was yet to come.
