A close look....WOW...

I take my steed (my bike of course), near one of the wind mills. I find them towering up for about 50 feet with the three blades(and in sum only two blades) , having a span of 25-30 feet long. These wind farms which number over in the thousands , give job oppurtunities for tens of thousands. One among the leading wind farms is the Suzlon. The below picture is one of the Suzlon's wind mill.

A Ride yesterday to "Asia's number one"

A ride from Nagercoil to Thiruchendur through the roads of Aralvaimozhy , you will find windmills on both sides of the road. This is the continents largest wind farm area providing more than half of power to the state. Winds , which make a biker hard to travel, are blowing throughout 9 months of an year. This provides a perfect duration for operation and maintenance of the wind mills. Here is a shot from a distance the wind mills here. Today i will be goin for a close up shot of a wind mill. wait till evening. by bye.

Work Place

A late morning drive takes myself to Kudanculam in about one hour. The work done by man can sometimes amaze lots of people. In Kudanculam there is a new revolution in south India. Some ecologists respond furiously, while others are wondered by the job oppurtunities offered there. Below is a view of the power plant under construction. These are the reactors 1 &2.

Nurseries in Nagercoil

There is a great taste of ornamental plants among south Indian , especially in Nagercoil. There are lots of nurseries in town. There is particularly one that catches the eye. The location of this nursery is as follows
  • along the road from parvathipuram to collector's office.
  • near the Scott Christian College.
 Its owner , J.Jeyaprabakharan David , a B.Sc graduate in agriculture from Allahabad University, is an enthusiastic plant lover. He collects seeds, treats and cares for these plants himself.

 The beauty of certain flowers makes us wonder how God created everything. See and enjoy few of those flowers.
 
 

South Indians preserve natural resources


  • This picture is a taste of south Indian nature.
  • The roads in these beautiful places cut with the nature, instead of cutting it.
  • This photo was taken 10kms away from the township of Nagercoil.
  • The local people , though the numbers are few are nature loving people who live with their income from cattle and produce from the trees.
The place called Coconut city
  • Driving towards the east of Kanyakumari , the coasts of Malabar coast is full of coconut trees.
  • For people who love beaches , there are lots of beaches along the road.
