It's been over two months since the tsunami disaster and there hasn't been a single day since then in which I haven't witnessed any aerial object movement. Today they happen to make range at a very low level, but that's probably because I was way above the ground.

A couple of weeks after his engagement to Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince Charles took a day off to visit this small tsunami ravaged island and witness first-hand some of the damages caused by the killer waves.

His visit was restricted to the eastern part of the country and a short meeting with the President. It was explicitly stated as a non-political visit to avoid any confusion between the government and the rebels. He took some time to talk with survivors in a tiny fishing village of Navalady in the Batticaloa district, and then witness volunteers involved in the rebuilding process.

I feel awful. All I have done is interrupt their very hard work.

It is the first time Prince Charles has visited the former British colony since 1998, when he was a guest at celebrations marking 50 years of independence from British rule. And this time he ended up with a Hindu blessing smeared on his forehead and a garland around his neck.

Something important about his visit was that, he became the first prominent figure, local or foreign, to land in the areas of his visit. It quite proves the fact that relief efforts are not yet widespread, even in a small way. And it comes as no surprise of the confusion among the villagers with the Prince's visit.

I think it is very good that the president has come. We want him to see that we have lost everything so maybe he can help. - Thavarajah, a tsunami survivor

The local heads are having a hard time trying to level out both the relief and peace efforts at the same time; a responsibility they took by willing, though the former did arise unexpectedly. For the same reason, their having problems implementing it over a wide coastal range. As a result many, specially the north-easterners are enraged of the apparent indifference; an addition of racial and tsunami issues into politics. Hence, it's interesting to know that the country (or at least a part) is in the verge of proving itself as a Failed State. Thamilan here sheds some light over the issue.

So as local issues stay put, the Prince is on a flight heading eastward to Australia leaving an important message to the autorities in concern about the affairs of a densely frogged land at the edge of the ocean.
