olla

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...

Tribute to Dr. Abdul Kalam

With heavy heart and tears writing this, Dr. Kalam left us on 27 July, 2015 to be with God in Heaven. Always prayed to God to send more people like him to Earth. However his legacy is still with us. Observing the condolences in the social media, we can see how many followed him. He had a vision to make the world better and his last speech was on Livable Planet. Most of us will follow his vision. When I was in Maryland doing my research, I had visited Wallops Island Flight Facility and saw his signature there in the visitor's book. That day I thought it will be nice to see him in person. After several years that dream came true, we met him in Casselberry temple. He gave excellent speech  during Gandhi Jayanthi  in the temple hall. He told everyone of us to contribute to others. I still follow that, contributed and contributing my knowledge, experience to guide others in Environmental and Information Technology fields to make their life better ...

Education, Graduation, Future, Contribute

Last week I attended a graduation ceremony in one of the big University (UCF).  It was lovely atmosphere. Diversified youngsters who worked hard for  their degrees lined up in their graduating gowns, caps with tassels and hoods.  It was wonderful and powerful atmosphere with their parents, friends and families cheering them.  Education is not easy, especially getting one from traditional universities. Price is high, hard work  needs to be put in, to reap the benefits. It was the time for these young students to start reaping the benefits of their education.  They had their master's and  bachelor's degrees and could see the ultimate happiness when they had their degree.  I wish them all the best success in real World. Graduation Ceremony I remember the time, when I graduated 20 years back. It was a PhD in Environmental Sciences .   With my Ph.D guide Dr. Gupta I was trying to get into teaching research career an...
