The inevitable finally happened on the 27th of August 2008, and i took oaths as an Attorney-at-law before the Chief Justice yesterday. So now i am an Attorney-at-Law of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka :)
The ceremony itself was pretty nice. I have to say that contrary to the boring build up i actually enjoyed the ceremony. The Chief looked pretty interested in the ceremony, and i thought that was impressive given the large number of lawyers and the predictably monotomous oaths!
Family was represented by Umma, Deda and Cubbi. Anita too tagged along and was super-helpful throughout. Not only was she a dear friend but she also became my photographer and videocamerawoman!!
Mr Sirimanne too came to see our ceremony and it was very sweet of him to wait till the end when i finished taking oaths. Tharu and i managed to get a pic with Sir for RI times sake.
Well, today was my first day as an Attorney at court, and i made the Royal blunder~ forgot to wear my gown!!! Its not that i totally forgot, but i left it behind in the front hall when the morning rush happened with running to office and giving Anita a ride too.
I hope i rememeber to take it tomorrow!
