Dusk view at Vettucadu Beach

 

Vettucadu Beach


Visited this beach recently. The beach surrounding space attracted hordes of vendors selling stuffs all kinds of stuff to visitors. In all, it looks like a market fair scene. 

The number of such venrors is more in Veli and Shanghumugham area. I wonder if there's any limit to the number of carts that can be parked! Is there any need for licence or approval to start a biz here! 

Does govt get any tax from these road-side vendors? Say, Rs 50 for a day! 

 

Location: Vettukadu, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India

Newspaper Industry - Diversification into Senior Living Home

Image
Screenshot of Wellness Series by The Hindu   I've been thinking of writing about this for quite long time. So, when I saw the poster about Wellness Series conducted by English daily, The Hindu, I thought it's time to pitch my plan into ChatGPT and get a detailed answer.  Well, I'm not happy with the answer it has provided. Somehow, I feel that these days ChaptGPT is holding back many potential points to non-subscribed users. Anyways, the answer it has given has the basic sketch of my plan.

And, now that portfolio is somewhat late to enter this space as this arena is populated with big players and money mongers....

The genesis of these  thoughts came while attending a Sunday mass - on seeing the sisters who were giving communion to the Sunday mass attendees, my mind hit upon these concepts. Read on... Intersection of Different Thoughts What all tasks can a nun or sister in a convent do, apart from her devotion to activities of the church, or her daily prayer? Typically, we see sister taking different responsibilities of the church, running schools or other educational institutions, managing orphanages, children homes, nursing care in hospitals, hospice, etc. Apart from these, what activities can a nun do in her lifetime of devotion towards the service of the lord.   These are the answers from Google and ChatGPT.👇 What is the daily life of a nun?

Nanma Connect: Turning Leftovers Kanji into Lifelines for the Hungry ( Community Kitchen Project)

Image
  Nanma Connect  "It was a simple, ordinary moment. I recently started the habit of taking hot rice water — kanji — something which used to be common in South India. As I sipped it, feeling the warmth and mild starch settle in my stomach, a thought struck me. This nourishing drink, full of energy and comfort, is something thousands of households in cities like Trivandrum throw away every day — down the drain, without a second thought. ( same in our households till last week when I started to drink it) And that’s when it hit me. What if this ‘waste’ could become a life-giving meal for someone who doesn’t know where their next food is coming from? What if we could connect kitchens, communities, and compassion through one forgotten resource — kanji? That moment became the seed of an idea — a voluntary food-sharing project where households contribute their leftover rice water, which is then collected, tracked through an app, and distributed to people in need at clean, community sp...
