The devastated fishing village given new hope by a Bollywood actor

Amid all the destruction, grief and despair that lies along India's
tsunami-ravaged Coromandel Coast, one village stands out.
Thevanampattinam lost its people too: more than 100. The fishing
village was razed to the ground. But unlike elsewhere, there is hope
here.
In the other affected towns and villages along the coast, temporary
housing is only just going up.. Here the temporary housing has been up
for more than a week: nobody lives in squalor and every family has a
clean, spacious bamboo hut, with a tarpaulin to keep the rain out. The
fishermen expect to have their boats repaired and at sea again within a
few days.
