Pokkal fields again-now new species of birds

Pokkali fields is a place where quality rice as well as prawn is being put to farming turn by turn to produce quality rice and quality prawns. The method is easy.From November to April Prawn farming can be done and from November to April the pokkali rice can be cultivated. The advantage is that while thec Prawn farming is done at the end of farming the decay helps as manure for next sessonal pockali rice and vice versa for Prawn next season. This had been continuously a process f\or years together and helped Ernakulam districtb to produce Pockali rice and Prawn. As in the case of any other busines in this area also the interfearence from Mafia could not be prevented as a resultb of which the availability of trained labourers is understood to have been affected threatening the production of rice and prawn.To cope up with the situation and to improve the industry a thirsd product Duck farming also tried recently.The idea was to produce ducks for Easter celebrations.How far this helped in unknown. in the meantime the new arrival of Metro project in Kochi is stated to have affected as an exodus of labourers from farming to the rail project is suspected as the later was more favourable and better paid for lbourers.This is ,however,not confirmed although there had been shortage in the production of the pockali rice,Prawn andv thev third Duckfarming. In the meantime a report appeared in a national news paper the Hindu recently shows the Large pockali field has become a centre of attraction fotb migrating birds as in tghe case of Wester Ghats and Malabar area. A copy of the report is incorporated below which is self explanatory.:

As per the report above and Blogs dt15th April 2014 & 3rd April 2018 from Sreedharan Mundanat under htttp://smundanat.Blogspot.com ,the pokkali fields need to be urgently conserved and farmers should be encouragedto cultivate pokkali rice and prawn farming in equal interval every year so as to provide mutual decay benefit for both the process.The Pokkali Rice production and Prawn farming are mainly carried out in Thrissur,Ernakulam and Alapuzha districts and is a sure source of quality rice and Prawn It is also a sure source to earn Foreign business to earn foreign exchange too. The Government should ,therefore ,should take active interest to protect these farming without any element of neglect in future. Sreedharan Mundanat 21st May 2018.

Until next week Australian Open Rafael Nadal number one.

The loss of Mardrid open QF to Theim speller disaster to Nadal as he kvlost number one ranking to Roger Federer who did not even lift the racket to regain number one ranking. Totally upset by this,Raf decided to make yet another effort to take back the title from Federer. For this he worked hard to beat experts like Monfil,Djokowic,Zverve to win the Italian open title successfully.And he is number one again now.The next week is Australian open scheduled for every one to see how successful they are in restricting Nadal from winning it. Many times Rafael Nadal had won Australian Open. So once again it does not look like a luxury if he wins it. And if he win he would be much ahead in points and could hold number one ranking for longer time to come. SreedharanMundanat 21st May 2018

In continuation of my blog dt 25th April 2018 on "Rafael Nadal World number one"Rafael Nadal had lost the world number one title when he was beaten un expectedly by Domenic Theim at the Quarterfinal of Mardrid open. It was so sad an affair for Nadal. One of the most dominant sequences of Modern Tennis was staged at Mardrid open when Dominic Theim put an end to his nonstop run on clay court to the surprise of everyone watching the Quarter final on the stadium as well as on TV. The first set was a tuff fight of fluctuating fortunes between the two which ultimately claimed by Theim at 7-5 followed by 6-3 in the second set. Three weeks ago Nadal had beaten Theim 6-0,6-3 This loss to Theim not only resulted in his loss of the match but in surrendering the number one spot to Roger Federer without lifting his racket. Rafael Nadal the clay court Specialist Spaniard was totally disappointed in the turn of events. Here now comes a God-given opportunity for the Clay court Specialist Nadal to regain the number one spot with his win over Denis Shapolavov the CanadianTeenager at 6-4,6-1 Nadal had high praise for the Canadian Teenager Shapolavov who in last year Montreal open had denied a chance for Nadal to become world number one. Now ,if Nadal can claim Italian Open final title on this Sunday20th of May 2018 he could again find himself as World Number one. Let us wish success to humble fighting specialist on Clay court Rafaael Nadal to regain the number one spot lost to Roger Federer without playing a match to regain it.
