Batticaloa [2013]
Monday, 06 October 2008. I decided to call off my intended trip to Batticaloa, in Eastern Sri Lanka. I was tired and was wondering whether to go or not to go. I was tired due to the long journey to Jaffna and back. It takes a whole day and a whole lot of checks which seem to keep reminding us that we are all terror suspects. After sometime, one gets used to it and often it becomes part of the routine. In other words, we successfully submit to second class status by merely undertaking that journey to the North.
