Tsunami: A year after
On this day a year ago, waves came up like walls to ravage the eastern coast of India and its tiny islands of Andaman and Nicobar.
Before the water arrived, the word 'tsunami' had never been heard by these simple folk. Now, it is a word they will never forget.
Today, the coastal towns of Tamil Nadu and the Andaman-Nicobar islands are still slowly limping back to life.
