In a twisted way, Teacher Ali (the nickname for our fake tour guide whom we'd met back in Mamallapuram) saved our lives. We had planned to stay until the 26th of December, but he scared us off. On the 26th a hurricane hit, killing 70 people. Who knows, we could have made that number 74. Thank-you Teacher Ali!
We had yet another escape from death. Pondicherry, very near Auroville (where we'd spent Christmas), got hit by a cyclone. I don't have an exact number of people who died, but I'd rather not know. I'm glad Mom and Dad didn't give in to my plead to stay another week.
It's sad to think that some of the people we met could be hurt, or even killed by these natural disasters. I seriously hope they're okay, including Teacher Ali, despite everything!
