Sri Lanka, a tear-shaped island located off the southern tip of India, is known by other names as exotic such as Ceylon, Taprobane and Serendib and indeed has earned descriptives such as the Granary of the East and Pearl of the Indian Ocean. In aeons long gone there have been overflowing granaries and even today the reference to pearls is not just about its shape and worth but the harvesting of the precious lustrous formations. Even today it is a land endowed with innumerable means to offer unexpected things that delight.
