Hi guys
I thought we should have a picture of the College that we are all so proud of in this blogspot. And there is a story behind this picture. I snapped this when I visited Colombo in 1995 wanting to take back a bit of the nostalgia. The moment I clicked there was this cop toting a machine gun grabbing my shirt and wanting to know what I was doing. This was a time on great tension in the ethnic conflict and security had been very tight throughout my visit. I tried explaining that this was my old school and all that I wanted were some photographs, but was not making much impression on the cop. Unfortunately I did not have my passport with me. It took my uncle who was with me half an hour to convince the cop that I was not a terrorist. The incident left me shaken and prevented me from taking more photographs from better views. And I narrowly missed the opportunity of seeing the inside of a police station and being treated as a state guest.
Rifky, could you please position this picture appropriately, maybe on the left side above or below the caption, Royal Groupies. Or better still if someone can upload a picture with a better view, perhaps from the front end, that would be even better.
