Want to get in control of your life? Start by getting in control of your day. It might sound boring, but a daily schedule works wonders! It puts you in control and helps you bring order and diligence to your day the previous evening itself.

In Sri Lanka, it’s not just the sights that enthrall you. The food is delicious, the people are warm and friendly and you do not need to stick to the itinerary your travel agent gives you. It is also less crowded which means you don’t have to jostle with hundreds of other tourists at any place. Each journey throws up many possibilities to discover something new, whether it’s a turtle farm on the coastal road or a food-stop for fresh yoghurt with honey, slices of pink jackfruit, rambutan and the other fruits of the season.
