In this issue

Surreal.
That’s what I feel as I write my 100th editorial for this milestone issue. And infinitely grateful.
Grateful for the challenge and opportunity offered to me back in 1999 to be the Editor of the new lifestyle magazine. It’s been two decades since the initial talks and 18 years since the first issue of Hi!! magazine was published in 2003. Back then, we had no idea how long the magazine would survive or in the first instance, how it would be received by the Sri Lankan reader.

Hi Magazine Description:

Hi!! Magazine is Sri Lanka’s first and premier society magazine and now in its 11th year. Begun with the concept of portraying Sri Lanka in a positive light, Hi!! put within its pages the high fashions of the gliteratti and the literati, parties and the glitz and glamour of not only Colombo but also of major cities around the world where Sri Lankans gather. It also features trendy Conde Nast winning boutique hotels, resorts and restaurants, the Who’s Who from Hollywood to Bollywood, tourist attractions like whale and dophin watching, what to do and how to do it – with Hi!! projecting Sri Lanka as the ultimate tourist destination.
