@ KPJ ma'm, NRIs or any local investor can do NOTHING, unless the canal is restored to its formal glory, I mean the cleaning and desilting of the waterway and prevention of sewage influx into it. The real estate is of not much value if you have an obnoxious drainage canal on your backyard. So where are our rulers?

@ Sreejith, the last thing I heard about the project was when Kaumudi reported that the funds allocated by the Center as a part of Waterway III were on the verge of lapsing because our bureaucrats and the local govt were sleeping on top of the file. It'd make your blood boil, won't it, I think the balck-n-white pictures in the post will remain a distant dream. :(

beautiful post, reflecting commitment. very thought provoking .

the pictures - the juxtapositioning of then and now - are really heart breaking.
no, none of the ideas are outlandish. how can they be.

i feel the NRIs should fund this project with accountability ONLY TO THEMSELVES. Something like nedumbasserry. they should form their own committee to execute and supervise the project.

It's clear. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

Hi Scorpio,

Thanks for the post. This post mad me sad more than happy... How could we turn TS/PP from the beautiful waterway it was into the sewage canal it is today??

Has anyone taken your proposals to concerned officials? Has there been any development on the projects mentioned?

Thank you gentlemen for letting me know your thoughts on the subject. Hope you guys did check out the Life photo collection. There are more images of many Kerala towns, festivals, art forms etc. Just search using the right keyword.

Enjoy your Onam! :)

Agree to Mathew's views. Another good post, an eye opener. I can't imagine Parvathy Puthanar had such a good past.

Depressing photos! What is "Achu" maaman going to inspect in the Varkala tunnel? Looking at the darkness in the picture, he might as well suffocate to death in that tunnel!

Your ideas are good and our cities do need to think a step ahead. But, unless we have statesmen and leaders, this is another dream!

Good stuff SG.
Have read a lot about PP, thanks to Manorama and Mathrubhumi.
Never knew Life had such pictures of Trivandrum.

brilliant photos dude........ and yes, a great idea as well...........

no idea is outlandish....... the konkan railway was supposed to have been an outlandish idea when it took off........... :P

but some ideas as you say are just not worth it...... like the underpass in TVM construction at a high cost near PMG....... (Kerala university) building......

The water in the old photos look so much different and un polluted............

2009-08-26T05:43:05.139+01:00

goodness..i cannot believe this canal once used to be in this condition...this sure will break a trivandrumites heart....wish that your suggestions become a reality some day....!!
