                    dividend? 
   Two tourists examine a map as 
                    they decide where to go at Janadhipathi Mawatha, once Colombo’s 
                    financial centre, now rising from the ashes after being devastated 
                    by a Tiger suicide bombing. One year of peace following the 
                    ceasefire signed between the warring sides and the prospect 
                    of a lasting solution to the ethnic problem has led to an 
                    influx of visitors. Pic by M.A. Pushpakumara
