    Novels of Paul G. Dedicated to the fond memories of my dad, Dr. George Gasper This is purely a work of fiction and has no resemblance or nothing to do with anyone living or dead and the author profusely apologizes and regrets if the feelings of anybody is hurt or offended. MALDIVES TALES When I am sitting on my easy chair and thinking about writing Maldives Tales, my dream to become a writer is fulfilled. Everything happens for a reason and there is no coincidence. Life always put me in very tricky and delicate situations so that I could feel the hands of Providence always in my life, supporting and sustaining me, as well as those of the evil one trying to hamper my dream to be a writer to come true. I tried myriad ways to get exposure and experience, to bring out the best in me. I went chasing a dream to be a writer and that dream came pursuing me and I learned that the best is yet to come, all is always for better and now is the best and most opportune time for everything, even in this corolla times. Since I had an accident breaking my right leg, I had to postpone a Middle East trip, the next day and that saved me from getting stranded in some airport and undergoing quarantine there. There is such an episode in my life that I always wanted to forget, but never could, and it always came popping up on the monitor of my mind, like a disco, snorkelling in the shallow seas, scuba diving, beach parties or even a hard drink of Tequila with a pinch of pepper on the expense account, the life at Pathala resort in Maldives, a sought after destination of the billionaires and connoisseurs of the world, who did not know what else to do with their money, which they had plenty.

  • Impacts of Sustainable Cultural Tourism in Fort Kochi, Kerala
    Vol. 3 No. 1 July 2015 ISSN: 2321 – 788X IMPACTS OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURAL TOURISM IN FORT KOCHI, KERALA Jose Bejoy (Ph.D Research Scholar in Tourism Management) Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Dr. R. Kannan (Research Supervisor), Associate Professor and Director i/c Centre for Tourism & Hotel Management, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai-21 Abstract Before the death of Christ, Fort Kochi was covered by mangrove woods, turfs and sand banks. Sand banks were created with the rise in the sea level which formed the shape of the coastal area. Around 600 AD, written documents about the Malabar coast show that this region had Hindus, Christians, Muslims and a Jewish minority. The natural harbour of Kochi was created by a flood that also destroyed the harbour of the town Kodungalloor. Thereafter, Fort Kochi was developed into one of the most important harbours in the west coast of India. It concentrated on the spices trade with the China and the Middle East. Keywords: Fort Kochi, Kodungalloor, Malabar coast, Zamorin, Portugese, Alvares, Hyder Ali, Tippu Sultan Introduction Historical Background of Fort Kochi, Kerala During 1500 A.D. Calicut was ruled by king Zamorin and Kochi was ruled by the Maharajah of Cochin. This was the time when the first Portugese ships berthed at Malabar coast. Vasco Da Gamma landed in Calicut and Pedro Alvares Cabral landed in Kochi. The Maharaja of Kochi felt threatened by the Zamorin of Calicut. The Maharajah hoped that the Portugese would help him in his defense from the neighbouring King of Calicut. The Maharajah welcomed the Portugese and they founded their first trading centre in Kochi.

  • Living Culture and Typo-Morphology of Vernacular-Traditional Houses in Kerala
    Indah Widiastuti Susilo 1 The Living Culture and Typo-Morphology of Vernacular-Traditional Houses in Kerala Indah Widiastuti Susilo Introduction The term “vernacular architecture” stands for the art of constructing buildings and shelters which is spontaneous, environment-oriented, community-based; it acknowledges no architect or treaty and reflects the technology and culture of the indigenous society and environment (Rudofsky 1964: 4). Vernacular architecture is the opposite of high traditional architecture which belongs to the grand tradition (e.g. palace, fortress, villa, etc.) and requires special skills and expertise which an architect must have knowledge of and for which he enjoys a special position (Rapoport 1969). This paper is a chronicle of observations of traditional vernacular houses in the whole region of Kerala done within nine months The research methods used include observation and photography-documentation of more than 50 traditional-vernacular houses in Kerala State and 30 more random places in other states for comparison. Experts and builders were also interviewed. The object of study is to find patterns and sources of settlement, buildings, living cultures and local indigenous knowledge. Location of samples are in the districts of Shoranur, Pattambi, Pallipuram, Calicut, Palghat, Aranmula, Chenganur, Tiruvalla, Kottayam, Ernakulam-Cochin, Tripunitura, Perumbavur, Mulanthuruti, Piravom, Trivandrum, Kanyakumari, Attapadi, and Parapanangadi. From these places, 52 samples of traditional- vernacular residential architecture of Kerala were observed. These samples cover ordinary commoner houses, the traditional courtyard house and the single mass house, as well as the non- Kerala vernacular houses and houses with colonial vernacular architecture. The research method utilized is the Typo-morphology analysis (Argan 1965, Moneo 1978) which examines existing types of residential houses and their complementary.

  • A Study of Cochin Estuary, Kerala, India
    Water Sharing Institutions in Complex Coastal Commons: A Study of Cochin Estuary, Kerala, India M.A George and K.T. Thomson Abstract: Management of multiple commons continues to be a challenge for policy makers due to diversity of ecosystem functions and social groups. However, common property theorists broadly agree that traditional communities were elegantly managing these issues through the interplay of water and wetland institutions. In the case of Cochin estuary of Kerala, the communities had designed a variety of institutions that enabled water sharing for multiple uses. A substantial shift in the uses of brackish water for commercial aquaculture and the decline of agriculture and capture fisheries has degenerated some of these water sharing institutions. Social conflicts emerged despite government interventions and policies. The collapse of these management systems escalated management complexities and exerted high pressure on sustainability and livelihoods. Despite these vulnerabilities, communities have been adapting to the crisis in many ways. The paper will analyse the past and present water sharing arrangements among multiple users in the study area and details changes occurred due to the entry of modern enterprises. It also tries to analyse the emerging self restructuring patterns of the system. Water Sharing Institutions in Complex Coastal Commons: A Study of Cochin Estuary, Kerala, India M.A George and K.T. Thomson School of Industrial Fisheres, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Fine Arts Avenue , Kochi, Kerala,India Introduction Majority of the poor communities in South Asian countries depend on estuaries for their livelihoods even today.
