The gardens at the British Council held a certain enchanting appeal, with the stars twinkling above and the waft of a cool breeze! The anticipation among the audience (which turned out to be a house full and a little more), was almost palpable! We had no idea what was in store for us as we joined the expectant group seated rather informally in a semi circle in the garden and on the verandah, although rave reviews post an earlier production at St. Joseph's College quadrangle, promised us an evening of entertainment.

Forums are possibly one of the most effective mediums to discuss telling issues. And the one held on the July 21, at the British Council, could simply be described as argumentatively informative. With "How importantly should Global Warming figure in development agendas of developing countries" being the title of the forum, the focus was primarily on Sri Lanka.
