For Keralites, the last couple of weeks have been a nightmare. With the entire state drowning, people’s rescue efforts seem to have kept hope afloat.
A week ago, I received a call from a helpless friend who lived in Pandanad, Chengannur. She and her family were stuck in their house and the water was gushing in. The first floor soon turned into a mucky swimming pool. Luckily, she and her family were rescued by the fisherman community – Kerala’s very own superheroes. Soon, a relief camp became their new address.
