Tamils are fleeing Sri Lanka for India. ⇒

The absolutely brilliant film Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek) starts with one of the characters in the film making the trek from Sri Lanka to India in a fishing boat. The lady featured in this article had to make the trip twice, as the first time she tried the boat she was in capsized. Sri Lanka looks to be in an all out civil war, though no one seems to be saying as much.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
