From the time he eloped with his girlfriend from Tamil Nadu, taxi owner E Ravi's in-laws refused to accept him or their daughter's marriage to him. So angry were they that his wife's parents constantly coaxed her to leave him.

Finally a few weeks ago, just after the fifth birthday of their only son, Ravi's in-laws finally relented and came to visit them in this Andaman and Nicobar Islands capital for the very first time.

Then, two days after they arrived in Port Blair, his mother-in-law and father-in-law went for a visit to the Nicobar Islands and the tsunamis came.

"I cannot believe they are dead," whispered Ravi, sitting in his empty taxi. "They just cannot be. They cannot be."

They have been missing for three days now, along with thousands of others in Car Nicobar, the worst hit among the Bay of Bengal archipelago's islands.
