A beauty appears as if by magic!

Some politicos become clever conjurors as well after being raised to purohita status, they say.

The conjurer in our story is both a party leader and a purohita. He is a ‘man’ hailing from a political family in the upcountry estate sector.

This politico who had to languish in the Opposition for a long time had wanted a private secretary after being appointed as a top team member. 

So, the politico had as if by magic got down a young girl from the neighbouring country to function as his private secretary. 

By the way, the only qualification she has for the responsible job offered to her is said to be her beauty. As for her proficiency in languages, both English and Sinhalese are Greek to her. 

However, the comely private secretary is lucky enough to enjoy a special high salary and numerous perks, Ministry sources say.
