It was a pleasure for me to have met my niece for the first time in January 2014. Due to my move to cities away from my family, I lost contact with many of my family members.

Anusha's late mum, Chamawathi Parsotham was my first cousin. Anusha is the third of 5 children. Her parents are very dear to her because of the values they instilled in them.Having worked in clerical positions and as a hairdresser, Anusha is now a stay at home mum. She loves to cook, bake and entertain. Scrabble is her favourite board game. Anusha enjoys her role as a wife and as a mother to a 22 year old son who is studying mining engineering. She is a very friendly person and loves meeting people and socializing.

Here is Anusha's recipe for Almond Biscuits.
