What happens when a writer is sent as an Ambassador to Paris? Sarachchandra's experiences as the ambassador to France (1974-77) resulted in his novel With the Begging Bowl (1986) which captures life in the Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its overseas diplomatic missions realistically and humorously.
