The devastating Ockhi cyclone which hit the coasts of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Lakshadweep brought deaths, tears and gloom. Nearly 50 people are estimated to have died in Kerala. Officially, though, the number has not been confirmed. Several people are still missing. The families of the dead and the missing do not remain confined to their houses and huts. They are weeping and crying on the coasts with their eyes glued to the waves. Every sign of a boat on the horizon brings a silver line to their otherwise dark and cloudy hearts. The Defence ministry has instructed Air Force, Navy and Coast Guards to undertake rescue activities and save all the missing fishermen from the roaring black waves.
