Off the southern coast of Kerala, where the sea has long defined both livelihood and loss, a fishing vessel carrying 23 men capsized in rough waters near Muthalapozhi on Monday. Two fishermen have died, three remain missing, and the rest survived through rescue or their own desperate swim to shore. In the hours that followed, the Indian Coast Guard and coastal police pressed their search forward against the very conditions that caused the disaster — a reminder that the ocean does not pause for grief.
