Wow! Our basketball team travelled to New Delhi for the SAISA tournament on Wednesday 12th November. After all the hassle of transit in Chennai and then picking up baggage in Delhi we were rounded into a corner by our coach and informed that the tournament was cancelled since a student at AES had got meningitis. This being a highly infective disease, the campus had been closed. Unfortunately, our school was the only one in Delhi since we had decided to come early. At first i was just shocked, it actually felt like some strange dream. The only good part was that atleast we were in Delhi, my home for the past three years.
The next 24 hours were just crazy. We travelled to our guest house (just 10mins from my old house!) , then left to Agra (Taj Mahal) at 4 in the morning, and were delayed by half an hour since the driver lost the way! wow
The Taj Mahal and the history behind it was actually pretty breathtaking (even though it was my third time) and our group managed to have a good time.
We came back to our guest house at 10 in the night. Extraordinarily, i called some of my friends at AES to find that all of them had actually gone to school that Thursday. Campus closed??
Well, we left to the airport at 4 that Friday morning flying to Chennai, laying off there for three hours before flying to back to Colombo.
Coming back home, i seriously couldnt believe i had left the place!
Thankfully, my dad has agreed to pay $200 for our trip back to Delhi this week and i will have to add $100 from my own cash. Tough, but atleast i get to see my friends and participate in saisa, with an increased desire to win the tournament now!
