...more than piles of rubble, the surfers are back, many helping (both physically and financially) to rebuild homes and the hotels and restaurants they knew so well. The Brits even returned for their summer championships. Naturally, the die-hard surfers among you will need no encouraging to visit (or revisit) Arugam Bay, but beginners should take note: this will be one time you'll find the notoriously clannish world of surfing ready to welcome strangers with open arms...

I find it heartbreaking: every time I revisit one of my favorite monuments, it has either been overrun by a slum, unsympathetically restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), or simply demolished.
