Roommates!

You've seen the photos of my apartment at Global Towers, now its time to meet the inhabitants of this place.

Rajitha, our fearless leader on this ADP project, hails originally from right here in Colombo, Sri Lanka by way of Brisbanne and now London. She spent up through her teenage years in Sri Lanka before her family moved to Austrailia where she finished school and college and joined Accenture. After a few years working down under, Rajitha headed for cloudier pastures in London where she now resides. Rajitha has been a lifesaver time and time again here, doing everything from driving me around to negotiating with touk-touk drivers over 50 rupees. Though Rajitha laughs at pretty much everything I say and do (for example learning to tie a Windsor knot from a web page or asking questions to waiters in Sinhalese), she herself provides comic relief to the rest of us with her classic British vocabulary. I mean, she actually seriously used the word "fortnight" in a conference call the other day.

The third joiner of our magnificent trio (or three stooges) is our left coast friend Renuka, who makes her home on airplanes and in hotel rooms, but lists Los Angeles as her hometown. This California girl loves flying so much, in fact, that her itinerary on the way over here included stops in five, count 'em FIVE, cities in five different countries all on one trip (LA->Taipei->Kuala Lumpur->Singapore->Colombo). Renuka enjoys...well so far all I've seen is her working...but I'm sure she enjoys other stuff too. Don't be fooled by Renuka's diminutive stature and youthful glow like our colleague Phyllis, who asked whether she pulled a LeBron and skipped college to go straight into the workforce. Renuka enjoys watching people take long walks on the beach from her balcony, curry and rice (wait till she realizes what she's in for), and has been know to party down with the best of them in everyone's favorite D.C. nightclub - DREAM!
