Canoly Canal to be revived !

The Canoly Canal is Kerla’s vital inland waterway.

The Canoly Canal starts from Ponnani and flows thru Trichur, meets Periyar and meets the Vembanad Lake. So this inland waterway can stretch from Malappuram to Alleppey. Goods can be transported via the canal which will ease road and rail traffic. General boating and tourists can travel, if this canal built by a Westerner can be revived !

IT is said that the Government has already initiated a project to revive the canal. It was the visit of a team led by B R Menon, Chairman, KSINC, which triggered the significance of the Canal.

The Canoly Canal was built by the earstwhile Governor of Malabar. Till the late 1950s, the Canal was used as a major waterway for the transportation of goods and ferrying passengers.

Today the Canal represents a pathetic picture. BR Menon said that the Government is actively trying to develop the canal. This major inland waterway can connect many districts and goods and passenger traffic can be would be introduced through it and this will ease roal and rail traffic.

Dredging will be carried out every year. The Canal will be deepened at some places. 3.1 cr would have to be spent for strengthening the walls of the Canal. The Canal is part of the West Coast Canal System. It has a width varying from 6 to 20 meters and the water depth ranges from .5 to 2 meters.

Inland water system is cheaper by 50% than that of road and rail systems. It is also environment friendly and fuel efficient mode of transportation.

Kerala Tourism will receive a boost, if this canal is revived.

Medical Tourism in India

As India’s world class hospitals lure foreign tourists, India has become a
major destination for Health Tourism.

44 year old June Profitt had her knee replaced at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai.
When she went to Nottingham Hospital, it had a six year waiting list. Her
Indian Doctor told her to go to India for treatment. She looked up the Net
and spotted Apollo Chennai. They corresponded with the Hospital. ‘ I paid $
4000, which included a 10 day stay at Sterling Beach Resort. Back home it
would have cost $ 10000. Now I am not scared that I would scream in pain
when I put my foot down. And what better place to recuperate than a Beach
Resort”.

Another British national, Gregory Bates suffered a heart attack while
holidaying in Goa.’ I had the choice to go back home for the bypass”, he
said “But I chose to stay on. My family was concerned but having heard about
Indian medical expertise, I was confident that I was in safe hands. The
pre-operative support of Wockhardt Heart Institute in Bangalore while I was
in Goa proved that I would get uncompromised care.” . “
His successful surgery is an indicator that heart surgery in India is on par
with the world”, said Dr Vivek Jawali, chief cardiovascular surgeon at
Wockhardt who operated on Bates.

“At this juncture we cannot sit back”, said Dr P C Reddy. ” We have
everything to move ahead.” The private sector has already offered to help.
The makeover is striking, hospital floors are squeaky clean and interiors
complete with those of Five Star Hotels. Many hospitals have prayer rooms,
translators, visa extension and currency exchange services. The Narayana
Hrudayalaya Hospital in Bangalore had 8000 patients from Bangladesh last
year. Apollo Chennai is referring many a patient for alternative therapy to
Soukya, a holistic health center in Bangalore.

Bates and Profitt experienced Indian medical efficiencey. Indian health care
made headlines when Dr D Shetty closed a hole in the heart of Noor Fatima, a
child from Pakistan last year. The father of Noor Fatima, A I Ramadhan, had
requested the help of the Indian cricket team which was then touring
Pakistan last year. The Indian cricket team relayed the message back home.
The Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital at Bangalore offered to help, to give free
surgery to the child. She was successfully operated. After that, the number
of patients coming to Indian hospitals from West Asia & the West increased
considerably. Last year saw 150,000 foreing patients visting India for
treatment.

Quality medical care is the mantra and Dr S K Sama sees tremendous potential
for Indian medical expertise, holistic and otherwise. ‘ Professional
expertise in the country is as good as in the best hospitals abroad”,
remarks he . ” We give personalised attention at much lower costs but
provide top of the line services. In five years, things would be totally
different. Europeans will be seeking health care here. “

Robert Peter Mutton was another Briton who got treated at economical rates.
He was holidaying in Kochi when his gall bladder started acting up. “I just
spent Rs 64000, which is amazing” said Robert Peter Mutton. They went to
Lakeshore Hospital, Kochi. ” I would have spent $ 10000 in London” said
Mutton after treatment. “There is no difference between doctors here and
back home”

It was the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi, founded by a
spiritual giant, Her Holiness Mata Amritanandamayi (
http://www.amritapuri.org/ ), which cured Yan Zheng, a receptionist from
China. Cancer struck Yan when she was working in Beijing. She got treated at
Shanghai but she lost her left eye, the upper jaw, half the lower jaw &
facial nerves as a bye-product.

When she met the CEO of AIMS, Dr Kuriakose, he recommended India. The
doctors at AIMS did four surgeries on her and now she is all right. The four
reconstructive surgeries cost her Rs 3 lakh. It would have cost her 18 lakhs
in the US.

Integrated Medicine is just common sense. The diseases which are not cured
by Allopathy can be cured by other alternative therapies. For surgeries and
immediate relief, one can rely on Allopathy. Ayurveda will take care of the
diseases which need long cure, as it no side effects. .

Medical Training in India

Now professionals, particularly Asian, are happy about being trained in
India, despite the West’s formidable reputation as the last word in higher
education in Medicine.

Dr Amit Shrestha and his wife, Dr Shrishti, found it convenient to do their
MD in Bangalore at Manipal Hospital. They had come from Nepal. While Amit
is training to be a cardiologist, his wife wants to be a dermatologist. ”
Indian Doctors are world renowned. If we train in India, our respect back
home would grow tenfold”, said Amit.

“It was a great experience “, says Clara Perinchery , a German-born MD
student, who came to Lakeshore Hospital & Research Center in Kochi, to learn
about tropical countries. Dr M Abdul Hannan said ” I enjoy working here.
Where else would I have learnt so much ? “. He is training at Escorts Heart
Institute & Research Center, Delhi & he admitted that he was inspired by the
Chief Cardiologist, Dr Naresh Trehan.

The motto of Ayurveda is ” Progress Through Research ” ( Anusandanena
Abhyudayam ).

Beach Tourism – The 27 Beaches of Kerala Beautiful

The beaches of the Western world are no doubt great, but the traveller and
tourist can have different experiences with the beaches of the East. The
beach resorts of Asia are a good competition to the best beach destinations
of the world. The great mystic civilization of the East, its emphasis on
Mysticism and inner control, exotic natural landscapes, the mentality of the
locals totally different from their Western counterparts, are great
attractions to the global tourists.

The USPs of Asian vacation are its great backwaters, its unique beaches with
clear waters, coral reefs and mammoth waves for surfing. The global
traveller who chooses to go East will have to choose from the countries of
a massive continent with a wide choice of tropical places with unique sandy
beaches. From Israel to Sri Lanka, from Egypt to Indonesia, Thailand, India
and the Philippines, a great variety of beaches awaits the traveller !

Kerala, green and cool, and breathtaking in its natural beauty, is one of
the best choices for Beach Tourism.

Here we give a list of the 27 beaches that adorn God’s own Country, so
called by Walter Mendis, because of its lush green landscape.

Though Kerala is famous for its backwaters, this land house some of the
India’s finest beaches. Kerala’s 900 km coastline is embellished with sandy
beaches, coconut palms and rocky capes. The blue waves washing the sandy
beaches is a good sight to behold.

The beaches – alluring, clean with a blue background, are a great escapism
from the routine drudgeries of life. You can watch the sun disappear into
the horizon, the pageantry of the wandering clouds and changing hues of the
sky. It is Nature in its pristine beauty. You can chase the crabs, race the
waves, do sun bathing and watch another day at the beach unfold leisurely.
Beaches are the vacationer’s Paradise.

These vacations can become unforgettable holidays because of the friendly
people and the delectable seafood cuisine you normally get at beach resorts
!

1) Nattika Beach, Trichur

This beach is situated 30 kms off Trichur and is an ideal place to spend a
leisurely day. A perfect picnic spot, because of the the rhythmic waves and
the stretch of sand golden. You will be bewitched by the swaying palm trees,
which seem to hum the Music of Nature ! Amidst the rural setting, you will
find resorts which give you the best seafood cuisine along with vegetarian.

2) Vadanappally Beach, Trichur

Located just 20 km off Trichur, Vadanappally Beach is a great sight to
behold. For those who are looking for a picnic and fun at the beach, this
calm beach fringed with coconut palms is ideal.
3) Chavakkad Beach
Just 5 kms off Guruvayur ( just half an hour journey from Trichur ), this 15
km long beach is breathtaking in its beauty. If you travel to Chavakkad
Azhimukham, the Chavakkad Estuary, where the sea confuences with a river,
you can enjoy the beauty of the sea and the beauty
of the river ! Fringed with coconut palms and green ambience, this Estuary
is one of the best places to go, as you can enjoy Nature in her pristine
beauty. ‘ Nature never did betray the heart that loved her” said Wordsworth
!

4) Alleppey Beach, Alappuzha
Alleppey Beach is one of the most popular beach locations in Kerala. A
perfect picnic spot for the family. The pier which extends into the sea is
just 140 years old. There are entertainment facilities at the Vijaya Beach
Park, which add to the attraction of this beauteous beach.

5) Marari Beach, Alleppey
Just an hour from Cochin lies this beauteous beach, right in the heart of
the Spice Coast. This beach is a tantalising stretch of sandy beach fringed
with palms, and a Heaven for those who want to get away from the Madding
Crowd, from the hustle and bustle of city life.

6) Fort Kochi Beach, Ernakulam

Adorned with Chinese fishing nets, this beach is a must see for those who
hunger for Nature in her primordial beauty. Great sunsets can be viewed on
this beach. On New Years Eve, people flock to his beach. You get a lot of
seafood cuisine also. Also drinks. You can see the fishing folk come out
with great catches. You can view how the Chinese fishing nets operate.

7) Cherai Beach, Vypeen Islands

Ideal for swimming, this superb beach is just 45 kms off from Cochin City.
You can watch dolphins which are occasionally seen here. You can see a
typical Kerala village, adorned with coconut trees and paddy fields !
8) Payyambalam Beach, Kannur

This beach is near St Angelo’s Fort and this beach is turning out to be a
major tourist attraction. The famous sculptor, Kunji Raman, has made several
statues and scuptures on the beach as well as the park adjacent to the
beach.

9) Mazhuppilangadi Beach, Kannur

This is a 4.5 km long beach and the uniqueness of this beach is that
vehicles can be driven through this beach without getting stuck in the sand.
This is also known as the Mazhuppilangadi Drive-In Beach for this reason. As
the beach does not have violent waves and is shallow, this beach is fancied
by swimmers !

Tourism on the rise !

Tourism Marketing is defined as the enabler of a country to invite guests from different cultures, customs, traditions, to enjoy their rich culture, heritage, cuisines, art and architecture, entertainment and hospitality.

Tourism Industry is the largest employment generator in the world. We find that small countries like Malaysia and Singapore woo millions of foreign tourists and bag billions of foreign exchange. India has been lagging behind so far, due to innumerable reasons.

Now India tourism receipts show better stats. India received $15 billion and Kerala received $3 billion. India, who houses rich tourist locations, have so far been at the bottom of the World Tourism Receipt countries and does not figure in the top ten.
This is mainly because of the step daughterly treatment Tourism Industry got from the country’s planners. It was only last year that the Government allocated 1000 crores in the Indian budget for the Tourism sector.

United States lead with receipts of over $ 100 b. Spain is second with 60 b, Germany, UK and China are about 40 billion.

Tourism infrastructure should be improved in India, if India is to exploit the full potential of Tourism. India at the moment receives 5 million Foreign Tourist Arrivals and earns more than $ 15 b in forex. Domestic tourists have gone up to 200 million. This low rank of India, when compared to other countries, is due to the lack of vision of the Indian authorities, who considered Tourism as a pastime for the rich !

Tourism is actually Recreational Therapy. When the mind is fed up with daily chores and hard work, a vacation becomes the need of the hour. People prefer beaches and backwaters and the mind finds relief in vacational experiences !

Kerala was an unknown destination, till the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation, promoted it. Kerala is promoted as Green and Cool, in contrast to the hot and dusty India !. Kerala is totally different from the rest. She receives seven months of continous rainfall, almost 3000 mm of rains per year, and is full of greenery, and looks like a Paradise on earth.

India at the moment has a poor marketing image and she has to improve her marketing efforts. Tourism Marketing is different from other forms of Marketing and needs a well integrated marketing approach. You are marketing a country and Positioning and Promotion are twin eyes. It is integrated with leisure, entertainment, transportation, communication and all service sectors. The whole process has to be revitalized and a full fledged marketing process should be undertaken. The same old Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning method can be used in this form of marketing, to bring home the bacon.

India possesses everything. The rich cultural heritage, sprawling deserts, highest mountains, sculptures, temples, palaces, delicious cuisines, rare mixture of life style – all these make India a Cross Cultural Paradise on earth. The Private Sector should work with the Government to make India a great destination for the traveller.

We have lost this massive golden opportunity for the last 53 years and should not do so in the future, which belongs to China and India. This decade will see the emergence of these two giants, the Dragon and the sleeping Elephant !

My trip to Vypeen Islands

Yesterday I had a software installation in Kochi. So I reached Kochi and installed the software in minutes.

When I got out of the Office on Marine Drive, it was 1100 AM. I took a boat to Vypeen Islands. This is my first trip to Vypeen. I had studied at Kochi, at Ernakulam, when I did my PDC, in 1970 and 71. Now Kochi looks vastly different.

The Boat Jetty has been improved by a new building. There are frequent ferry trips to Mattancherry and Fort Kochi. I got a boat to Vypin at 1200 PM. It went via Willingdon Island, an artificial island carved out by Willingdon.

As we neared W Island, one can see the Taj Malabar, the five star hotel. Then the boat moved towards Vypeen.

We can see the giant gantry cranes of Vallarpadam very nearby. Vallarpadam is an island on the Wembanad Lake and is the site of the International Container Transhipment Terminal. The ICTT will be functional within six months time.

The Vypin boat jetty needs a lot of improvement. Near the boat jetty is the Vypeen Bus Stand.

It is a glorious view from Vypeen. We can see Fort Kochi on the other side. Taj Malabar on W Island looked a bit far and Vallarpadam is nearby !.

I then took a bus to Njarakkal, another tourist center. We have a beach at Njarakkal, but the facilities are not developed. Construction of the roads are underway.

There is an Aquatic Club at Njarakkal. You can fish there on the brackish water fish farm. They charge 150 INR per ticket. You can get gorgeous sea food, from the Sea Food Restaurant there. The Aquatic Club is manned by Matsya Fed.

From Njarakkal, I took a bus to the famous Cherai Beach. The beach is a beautiful sight and there are hotels and bars nearby. Cherai Beach seems to be better developed than Njarakkal. I saw more than 50 Westerners, some taking sun bath and others enjoying the sea.

From Cherai, I came to Trichur via the bus route. Last time I had crossed via Jungar, from Munambam ( Ernakulam ) to Azheekode ( Trichur ). This time I came to Kodungalloor without crossing via ferry. There were three bridges, which include the famous Kottappuram bridges, to cross. I reached Trichur within one hour.

Even though I had studied in Kochi, I had not seen the islands fully before. Hence this trip made me more knowledgeable about the spots which are going to develop, as the ICTT becomes operational within June 2011.

Lowering Hyperacidty

There are many who suffer from Hyperacidity. The causes are many. Too much intake of acidic foods and stress. There is an emotional center in the brain which stimulates the oxintic cells in the stomach to secrete Hydrochloric acid. So tension and stress are some of the main factors.

The ratio of Alkalinity and Acidity in the body physiologic is 80:20 and when the ratio of acidity is more than 20%, we have the condition of Hyperacidity. Hyperacidity may lead to ulcer and it is time we reduced this threat of ulceration.

It is time we adopted some prophylactic measures to combat this threat. Hyperacidity intially manifests as gas trouble. Antacid tablets can give temporary relief to gas trouble, but then the entire disease can only be overcome if the body is made more alkaline. Increase the alkalinity of the body by taking in alkaline foods. Optimum health is in an alkaline body.

The virus H Pylori thrives in acidic environment. So the first step is reducing acidity in the treatment of ulceration.

If we alter our food habits, we can get relief from hyperacidity. Prevention is better than cure. The body needs both acidic and alkaline foods and we should be careful to preserve the 80% alkalinity and 20% acidity of the body.

The acidity of blood should be 7 Ph ( Potential of Hydrogen ). Overacidity affects the body’s systems adversely. Alkaline reserves are there in the body physiologic and during the condition of hyperacidity, these alkaline reserves will be stolen. This will weaken the body, as reserves of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium will be depleted. If this process continues for a long time, our organs will be considerably affected.

So, in order to maintain the 80-20 Alkalinity Acidity balance, we give below a list of acidic and alkaline foods. Pls incorporate more alkaline foods for optimum health. Knowledge is prophylactic and is Power ( Scientia est Potentia ).

Without Health, even Wealth and Wisdom become zero !

Foods which reduce Acidity

Vegetables like garlic, beet root, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, melon, brinjal, mushrooms, onions, pumpkin, spinach, radish etc are food that will reduce hyperacidity.

Fruits like mangoes, papaya, apricot, butterfuruit, dates, cherry, grapes, orange, lime, pineapple, tomato, pumpkins, berries, almond.

Herbal tea, green tea, cardamom, ginger, coconut, lime juice etc. The citric acid present in lime leaves an alkaline ash. Lime is full of vitamins and minerals. Two glasses of Lime juice, along with 12 glass of water intake, is ideal.

Foods which foster Acidity

Sunflower oil, barley, corn, beans, potatoes, bread, chicken, cakes, coffee, eggs, mutton, green peas, soya bean, rice food, fish, sugar, tea, milk, beef, pork, tuna, groundnut, alcoholic beer, wine, soft drinks, noodles, neutrasweet etc.

In vegetables, organic acids along with sodium and potassium will be more. These element increase the alkalinity of the blood. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium will increase alkalinity while Sulphur, phosphorus and chlorine will foster acidity.

Yoga Tourism

Yoga Therapy has been hailed the world over. Yuj means to unite and Yoga is Union with the Absolute Being.

Yoga is the Science of Man !

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan
The proper study of Mankind is Man !
Placed in the isthmus of a middle state
A being rudely great
With too much knowledge for the sceptic’s side
And too many weaknesses for the Stoic’s pride
He hangs between !

Yoga is a systematic study of man in his threefold aspect, as Mind, Body and Self. It is the Arts Artium or the Art of all arts and the
Scientia Scientiarum, the science of all sciences. It is based on hoary Indian wisdom and culture and is the art of living a
healthy, contented, balanced and peaceful life.

The Eightfold Path of Yoga is

Yama Conditional personal and social behaviour, according to Yogic Law
Niyama Attitutue under Yoga norms
Asana Physical Body discipline
Pranayama Breath Control
Pratyahara Senses control
Dharana Concentration
Dhyana Meditation
Samadhi Transcendental Consciousness

The first five are called Hatha Yoga, as it is culturing the physique. The last three are called Raja or Regal Yoga, as it deals with the culturing
of the psyche. The first Five represent the Psychosomatic Approach and are referred to External or Bahirangi Yoga. The latter three affects
the psyche and are known as Internal or Antaranga Yoga. It is to be noted that the Internal Yoga cannot be done without doing the External Yoga, as
purification of body is a prerequisite for Self Actualisation. ” Sareeram Adhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam”, the body is the vehicle for Redemption !

Yoga and TM trigger the Relaxation Response and relaxes you completely. Gone are the strains and the stresses of relativistic life.
The physical exercises called Asanas combats stress and keeps the body flexible.

The three physical states of Doing, Thinking and Being are highlighted in Yoga. All that we see is nothing but Universal Matter or Energy, the
Adhibouthika aspect of Relative Being. All minds together is the Universal Mind and this is the Adhi Daivata aspect of the Supreme. These are
all the manifestations of the Unmanifest and this is Brahman, the Absolute, transcending all relativities

The destructible aspect is called Adhibootha
He who tenants the body, the Purusha, is Adhi Daivata
Being Absolute is Brahman called
These three are the triune states of Being. ( The Song Celestial, the Geetha )

We can transcend all relativities and reach the Absolute Self, via this great Science of Cosmic Union. This is the union mystica, envisaged by the mystic traditions of all other countries

Yoga Therapy has been hailed the world over. Yuj means to unite and Yoga is Union with the Absolute Being.

Yoga is the Science of Man !

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan
The proper study of Mankind is Man !
Placed in the isthmus of a middle state
A being rudely great
With too much knowledge for the sceptic’s side
And too many weaknesses for the Stoic’s pride
He hangs between !

Yoga is a systematic study of man in his threefold aspect, as Mind, Body and Self. It is the Arts Artium or the Art of all arts and the
Scientia Scientiarum, the science of all sciences. It is based on hoary Indian wisdom and culture and is the art of living a
healthy, contented, balanced and peaceful life.

The Eightfold Path of Yoga is

Yama Conditional personal and social behaviour, according to Yogic Law
Niyama Attitutue under Yoga norms
Asana Physical Body discipline
Pranayama Breath Control
Pratyahara Senses control
Dharana Concentration
Dhyana Meditation
Samadhi Transcendental Consciousness

The first five are called Hatha Yoga, as it is culturing the physique. The last three are called Raja or Regal Yoga, as it deals with the culturing
of the psyche. The first Five represent the Psychosomatic Approach and are referred to External or Bahirangi Yoga. The latter three affects
the psyche and are known as Internal or Antaranga Yoga. It is to be noted that the Internal Yoga cannot be done without doing the External Yoga, as
purification of body is a prerequisite for Self Actualisation. ” Sareeram Adhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam”, the body is the vehicle for Redemption !

Yoga and TM trigger the Relaxation Response and relaxes you completely. Gone are the strains and the stresses of relativistic life.
The physical exercises called Asanas combats stress and keeps the body flexible.

The three physical states of Doing, Thinking and Being are highlighted in Yoga. All that we see is nothing but Universal Matter or Energy, the
Adhibouthika aspect of Relative Being. All minds together is the Universal Mind and this is the Adhi Daivata aspect of the Supreme. These are
all the manifestations of the Unmanifest and this is Brahman, the Absolute, transcending all relativities

The destructible aspect is called Adhibootha
He who tenants the body, the Purusha, is Adhi Daivata
Being Absolute is Brahman called
These three are the triune states of Being. ( The Song Celestial, the Geetha )

We can transcend all relativities and reach the Absolute Self, via this great Science of Cosmic Union. This is the union mystica, envisaged by the mystic traditions of all other countries
