For Sangeetha, it felt nothing short of a second birth. As the elephant Sivam Lakshmi Ayyappan ran amok from Thekkinkadu Maidan through Palace Road and into the quiet lanes of Gandhi Nagar Colony in Cherur, she found herself trapped in its path — inside her car, on her way to work. There was barely time to react.“A few youngsters on a scooter came rushing and shouted, ‘The elephant is coming, reverse!’ But there was no space to reverse. Another car was behind me, and my daughter was coming on her scooter,” she recalls, her voice still trembling.
