I have been blessed to have a wonderful set of people around me who I consider to be my Inner Circle. This includes my parents -- whose love, care and wisdom has gone a long way in making me who I am today.

Perhaps one of the most best gifts my parents have given me is two other members of the circle -- my two brothers. Kasun -- the talented golfer and aspiring rock star, and Shanka -- the consultant.

Kumudika is the latest member to join the club. Having been made an Associate Member in the year 2000 her nomination for the General Assembly was unanimously approved by the membership. She was formally induced into the General Assembly on the 4th of July, 2005.

The constitution of the club has since been amended, and Kumudika now weilds enormous influence among other members whilst also enjoying diplomatic immunity, full executive and veto powers.

I would also like to welcome my parents-in-law, who have placed an immense amount of trust in me, in letting me marry their daughter. Unfortunatley, I did not have a proper picture of them to place in the collage. My apologies, and I will get one up as soon as I am in possession of one.
