Raju and Rubin, two fishermen brothers, set off for the high seas with three companions on Wednesday night. When they were 110 km from the Tamil Nadu coast, the first waves raised by Cyclone Ockhi rammed their country boat. Using plastic sheets and their clothes, they tried to block the crack while simultaneously emptying water from the boat using a bucket.
