Cost Effective Solution to save Coconut trees during forth coming water scarcity months due to El Niño : Olla Irrigation - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Droughts. 🏺 Echoes of Ancient Clay pot Irrigation Long before the term olla entered agricultural vocabulary, ancient Tamil farmers practiced remarkably similar methods. In Sangam‑era Tamilakam, clay vessels called “ māṇ paṇai ” or “kulam paṇai” were used to store and seep water near tree roots - especially for coconut, banana, and areca palms.   These pots were often placed in earthen basins (thottam) lined with coir, husk, and leaf mulch, creating a natural moisture‑retention system. Inscriptions and temple garden records from regions like Pollachi, Thanjavur, and Madurai mention such paṇai neer vaḻi (pot‑water channels) as part of sustainable irrigation networks.  This continuity of wisdom - from ancient Tamil pot irrigation to modern olla systems -  shows how indigenous knowledge can guide regenerative farming in the...

Alcoholism, Alcohol Consumption on Rise, Human Resources going waste

BRAIN, LIVER, STOMACH, HEART, KIDNEY and almost all organs are affected by alcohol.

CANCER, High blood pressure, several deficiencies and diseases are caused by alcohol.

As an Environmental Toxicologist I studied about the damages that alcohol can do to the human body.

So many articles on effects of alcohol and alcoholism are available in internet.

Even though these many dangers exist - young people tend to drink more and more alcohol.

Again due to the greediness of people , young people's life are put into danger.

This year's alcohol sale in TamilNadu reached 13 crore Rs.

Kerala also has equal amount of sales. Where is the youth going towards?

During my last visit to Tamilnadu and Kerala, I saw so many people flocking towards the liquor stores.

Whole society is turning bad, we are losing youth to alcohol monster and it is going to haunt us for long.

Human resources are going waste because of the alcohol consumption.

Hoping and praying to God that youngsters will take a new year resolution to quit consuming the monster - Alcohol.

Happy new year - 2011

Greening the Environment

By
As deforestation is occurring in the name of development especially road expansions all over World,  it is very important to plant more and more trees to green the environment. Trees are very important for the environment.  They not only provide important oxygen but also are very important for rainfall for the areas they are in, apart from so many other benefits. Every one knows it is one of the important tool to fight the human induced climate change as it acts as great carbon sink. In India, Great Dr. Kalam envisioned the importance of trees, persuaded many to plant as many trees as one can. Recently, I had privilege to communicate with many volunteers, who want to plant as many trees as they can to reap the benefits, especially by the future generations. These great volunteers provide their valuable time and hard work. We have to salute each and every one for them for their hard work. As an Environmental Scientist, I am proud of such volunteers, and I will contribute my kn...
