Rohini Narasingham went into the ghost country while the war was still raging. He came from Berlin. For 15 years he had lived here, half his life. His friends call him Singham. A slim fellow with a bushy beard. A guy from Sri Lanka who had made it good: German passport, German wife, life in Berlin – lively neighborhood in Kreuzberg, subway right there, whole wheat bread, fully insured. Then, in 1995, the decision to go back to his home country, to the north, the crisis area. Why take such a step into nothingness? – everyone asks him, Germans and Tamils alike.
