On the journey, ThePrint meets an expat nurse-turned-relief worker, NDRF personnel, as well as some who have lost everything but want to get on with life. Ernakulam: Usually, the busy rail route between Kerala’s capital Thiruvananthapuram and Ernakulam offers spectacular views of mother nature. With the lush greenery of coconut trees and paddy fields and the wind blowing from the Arabian Sea in the west, it is a traveller’s paradise. But there’s nothing ‘usually’ about August 2018. There are no more paddy fields with quaint little houses dotting the landscape. There’s just water, water everywhere, and the odd derelict house whose roof has either blown off or collapsed. Where the water has mercifully receded, there are people moving out vessels, chairs, clothes filled with slush and dirt, trying to dry out whatever is left of their material possessions.
