Heavy downpours occurred in which the rain was coloured red, staining clothes with an appearance similar to that of blood.[1] Yellow, green, and black rain was also reported.[2][3][4][5] colored rain had been reported in Kerala in as early as 1896 and several times since then. It was initially announced that the rains were coloured by fallout from a hypothetical meteor burst, but a study commissioned by the Government of India found that the rains had been coloured by airborne spores from a locally prolific terrestrial alga. Other explanations were proposed but not until early 2006 did the coloured rains of Kerala gain widespread attention in the popular media.

| Kerala Backwater Cruise | | 2008-04-23 14:28:04 | | Anyone heard about the Great Barrier Reef of Australia ? Most of us would ask – who has not. Just like the Australia is known by the Great Barrier Reef, so is Kerala known by its backwaters. The Kettuvalloms – the Kayas (canals) – Kerala – Backwaters all are synonymous to each other. There is no other better identity of Kerala. Small canals – kayas drawing into the sea make the backwater. The water turns salty with the water of the sea and this makes place for both – the fish and the rice. Both, the raw forms of food add beauty to the surrounding lands and thus the swampy marsh waters convert into the famous and beautiful Backwaters of Kerala. Having heard a lot, I moved on to the lands of Kettuvalloms – Alappuza.Alappuza District is the USP of Kerala – selling like hot cakes.

Many slept on sidewalks or in parks. Rats ate piles of uncollected garbage and cows crossed leisurely across the overcrowded streets. Calcutta was a slum, home to tens of thousands who slept in its streets to make it a disastrously overcrowded place.

| Thrissur : The cultural capital of Kerala | | 2008-02-18 20:50:00 | | From ancient times, Thrissur district has played a significant part in the political history of south India. The early political history of the district is interlinked with that of the Cheras of the Sangam age, who ruled over vast portions of Kerala with their capital at Vanchi. The whole of the present Thrissur district was included in the early Chera Empire. The district can claim to have played a significant part in fostering the trade relations between Kerala and the outside world in the ancient and medieval period. It can also claim to have played an important part in fostering cultural relations and in laying the foundation of a cosmopolitan and composite culture in this part of the country.

| Auto Court’ ensures hassle-free travel in Kerala district | | 2008-01-04 06:57:00 | | The men on wheels at a small town in Kerala's northern district of Kannur are out to change that perception. They have set up an Auto Court to ensure a hassle-free journey to the passengers.The passengers can take their complaints against the drivers to the court. If they are found genuine, the court punishes the errant driver. The court is an offshoot of the Auto Drivers Coordination Committee set up to protect the interest of the passengers as well as the auto drivers.The committee consisting of trade unions affiliated to both the ruling and opposition parties had been engaged in settling the disputes between the drivers and passengers for the last two years.The ‘Auto Court’ has no judicial powers. Yet its verdicts are accepted by both the auto drivers as well as the passengers. The result is a steep fall in the number of complaints involving auto rickshaws, except those concerning accidents.“We were flooded with complaints about service and fares before the court started functioning. Now there are hardly any such complaints", says K.V. Chandran, an office-bearer of the Auto Drivers Coordination Committee.The Auto Court is functioning like normal courts, hearing both sides and pronouncing punishment according to the degree of the ‘crime’. It meets every Saturday.

As Goa has been quite expensive and there isn’t much to discover for Indian couples in Goa, Kerala has taken a lead for honeymoon travel packages.

| House Boats in Kerala , India | | 2007-12-07 05:00:00 | | The Houseboat are giant country crafts, measuring up to 80 feet in length, retrieved from being lost to the State altogether. Once they ruled the backwaters, poled along by one or two men, heavily loaded with rice, coconut and other commodities. But in the recent times, the kettuvalloms have been replaced by more and modern modes of transport, relegating them to neglect and decay.It takes great skill and meticulousness to construct these giant House boats by tying huge planks of jack wood together. Curiously enough, not a single nail is used in their making of a houseboat. There used to be an entire clan of artisans who were involved in kettuvallam construction.

| Ponmudi: Kerala's Golden Crown | | 2007-10-08 03:14:00 | | I sat happily humming to myself on my way to work in the morning as the pleasant breeze hit my face and rain splattered the roads all around.For a change, I didn't even mind the pollution and traffic around me. It was this weather which reminded me of something and prompted me to get over my laziness and finally write after this long break. The overcast sky, the soft drizzle and the rain kissed trees drifted my thoughts back to a few months when I was standing overlooking an expanse of mountains covered with a green blanket with the sky playing pranks on me.On the one side of the sky was a full misty stretch overshadowing the plants and making the early morning look like late evening. On the other side was a brightly lit up sky generously sun bathing the plants. 61 kms away from Trivandrum, I was in this quaint little hill station called Ponmudi. Literally meaning a golden crown, Ponmudi was quite a breathtaking sight to behold.Though just about a 1000 meter above sea level, it had all the ingredients of a typical tourist hub.We planned this family gathering during our last visit to Trivandrum. Our group reached there after a pleasant one and a half hour drive from Trivandrum.The signboard at the outset did say 21 hairpin bends but the drive was surprisingly comfortable.I didn't even need to pop in my usual dose of Avomine to stop me throwing up! The beautiful Kerala countryside hardly gave me time to think of anything else.The abundance of trees and flowers along with the lovely breeze kept me gazing out of the window of my car.In between we also crossed the Kallar river which seemed very calm to me but I was warned that the same water gets quite wild at times.As our destination grew nearer, my spirits were also perking up. And finally when we reached the government guest house where we were supposed to spend the next two days, I was elated.Apart from the fact that the place looked cosy, I instantly fell in love with the area it overlooked.To me, Ponmudi on | | By: Bikkupedia Unlimited | | |

| INDIA: Kerala keen to complete mini hydel projects | | 2007-07-01 20:58:00 | | Kerala was very much interested in renewing the MoU it signed with a Chinese public sector company in 1998 for setting up 18 mini hydro-electrical projects in the state, Power Minister A K Balan said on Friday. Replying to the notice for an adjournment motion by K Babu (Cong) in the assembly, he said four hydel projects have already been completed and their performance level was high. The government have taken preliminary steps to renew the MoU signed during the previous LDF government's tenure and had held talks with representatives of the Chinese firm during a recent visit to that country, he said. The project would be taken up only after examining all aspects and no decision had been taken by the government in this regard, the minister said adding that the Kerala State Electricity Board would pay the arrears due to the company.The Chinese company was under the direct control of UNO and there was no need for any concern on deals with them.
