His intricate hand drawn elevations, style of work and huge contribution to what is today known as "tropical modernism" intrigued me. Since then, I had always wanted to visit Sri Lanka, just to be able to walk through one of his creations. In fourth year, I had decided I would do my internship under a Sri Lankan firm in hopes of fulfilling my wanderlust. I had gone as far as to applying for it and getting a positive reply in return, when my parents had banished all my hopes by disagreeing to let me leave alone. When Adnan came up with the plan of attending a friend's wedding in Colombo, before heading to UK for his masters, I was thrilled! This trip would fulfill two of my desires, one being a walk through Geoffrey Bawa's creation, the other being the opportunity to attend a Christian wedding in a foreign count...
