Igor and his father, Roger, are making decent living renting
apartments to illegal immigrants and sometimes working them illegally
(among other scams).
But when the building inspector pays a surprise visit and Amidou
falls off a scaffold in his hurry to hide, things start to unravel,
particularly when Igor makes a promise to the injured Amidou that
ultimately exposes the different values of Igor and Roger, and Amidou's
wife, Assita.

Dudley Senanayake - most loved of our times
 Dudley Senanayake was known as 'the reluctant politician'. It was
never his intention to pursue public office.
Immense pressure brought on him by friends and relatives forced him
to enter public life.
He entered politics at 24 and became the Prime Minister of Ceylon
four times during the 37 years of his political career.
He is perhaps the only leader in recent history who voluntarily gave
up power when one was at one's peak, and perhaps the only ex-leader to
be persuaded back to revive the flagging fortunes of one's party. This
biography deals with his political life, his ideas and political
philosophy. It throws light on Dudley's firm commitment to democracy,
good governance and fair play.
This book also serves as a ready handbook to any person who seeks
insights into Sri Lanka during the period preceding Independence and
more than two decades of post independent arena.
