The tide comes twice because the moon pulls the sea as we turn, saaru? But your bigger question… the Gulf of Khambhat narrows like a funnel, so the water piles up high and fast. Chennai’s coast is open, so the sea just rises and falls gently.
They will tell you it is just science. But I say the sea here is angry. It took three bigha of our family’s land in the last ten years, each high tide biting away a little more. That “huge range” isn’t a curiosity, ben, it is a slow swallowing. So I know these tides in my bones—and in my lost papaya trees.
