From the restless waters of the Southeast Bay of Bengal, a low-pressure system stirs — one that may, within days, earn the name Senyar, meaning 'lion' in Arabic. India's Meteorological Department has issued an advisory warning the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of intensifying winds, heavy rainfall, and rough seas as the system tracks toward cyclonic strength by November 24. In the ancient rhythm of storm and shore, fishing communities are called back from the water, and residents and travelers alike are reminded that the sea, at certain moments, belongs only to itself.
