Thanks for that share.

Speaking of late 2004, and the tsunami.

I was a biker, between assignments, taking a sabbatical in my professional life at the time.

Riding my Bullet 500 across India. As you know, there was no Golden Quadrilateral then. Work was going on all over the place.

I was racing along the east coast (Chennai to Tadepalligudem to Bhubaneswar) on the same path that was to be destroyed a month(?!) later.

Lucky escape. The entire East Coast was destroyed.

Islands were swept away.

No bhai. Neither. But I can imagine.

Sri Lanka kitna beautiful hai. Green. Proper emerald island.

Both islands are completely different, Lakshwadeep are coral islands, whih means they're totally flat terrain like Maldives. Photos lene ke liye badhiya lagta hai but you'll bored in a day or two. Just sand and sea, not vegetation, no terrain.

A&N are mountainous islands which were created by volcanos so you've cliffs near the coast, jungles ending right at the beach etc. Much more engaging. Daily flights from Kolkata and Chennai for round trip 15k.

tricky situation down there, back in the day.

Prabhakaran's crew but, man.. respect.. ekdum no1 rebel group.. Colombia etc ke cartels bhi bhot acchey hain these days, with their improv subs and former SF recruits troopers.

Trump has been going after them, hard.

Chinese funding hai south american cartels ki, maybe..

Just rechecked the dates.

Less than a month.

The Tsunami hit on the 26th. I started from Chennai on the 15th. Reached my hometown Jamshedpur 3 days later.
