Census 2011 reveals that 47.72 % of population in Kerala lives in Urban habitats (Cities & Towns). It was only 25.96 % in census 2001. It is now for us to ask ourselves where are our villages. Kerala is witnessing rapid urbanization. Sadly, most of this is not planned. Waste management and disposal is the most serious issue in our hands today. Every municipality in Kerala is struggling to deal with waste. Dynamics are such that we need a policy from the state government to address the challenge that is facing us. If we do not act now, tourism will be the first sector to take a hit. It will be an irreparable face loss for 'God's own country'.

I am laughing mad as such is the situation of Kochi IPL team - Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The team never set their foot right, now even on internet. If you search for Kochi Tuskers or Kochi Tuskers Kerala in Google, it is most likely that you will come across more than 3 websites that can disguise people as the team's official website. It seems to me that the official website is www.kochituskerskerala.com . Fallibilities of this team never ends. Who would announce a team name without registering all possible website domains? Such was their state when they had to rename the team . But still? You may read my earlier blog on Kerala IPL team here .
