...preoccupations as an 18-year-old could get. She didn't care about clothes, music or parties. She couldn't remember the last time she had to study for a test. And as for boys, she dismissed all the men in Sri Lanka with a fierce frown and sharp shake of the head...

Everyone grumbles about inflation, currently at about 12%. Apartment prices are soaring faster than in Shanghai or New York City.
