Unscientific Construction of NH 66 in Kerala - Kooriyad, Malappuram

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Fri, 8 Aug 2025 01:54:00 -0700

While the construction of National Highway 66 in the state of Kerala is in full swing, there are serious lapses observed in the execution of the work. Expert study has revealed that the norms laid down by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has not been followed in many of the stretches. It is also worth mentioning that Kerala receives heavy rainfall in the monsoon season. The heavy downpour will contribute to the deterioration of road very quickly unless construction work is carried out with utmost quality.

Many of the stretches receives above average rainfall in monsoon which causes the soil to lose its integrity leading to frequent landslides. Necessary construction techniques suitable for such soil should be employed in these stretches to prevent this from happening. However, recent collapse of the side walls in Kooriyad, Malappuram District tells a different story. A committee, lead by former chief scientist of Central Road Research Institute, New Delhi, Shri Kishor Kumar has been formed to evaluate the Kooriyad stretch as a result.

The committee has submitted that the collapse was due to the improper design of road. The soil is loose in the area and the vendor did not take this into account. Now, a bridge will be constructed in this section. There are also frequent landslides, cracks, collapse of embankment observed in various other stretches of NH 66.

This 600 KM road in Kerala is going to be a vital artery of Kerala’s transport network. Owing to the public outcry, NHAI is expected to implement stricter measures against the contract workers to ensure construction of proper quality roads in Kerala.

US President Donald J Trump hikes tariffs on India again | Total tariffs on India now at 50%

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 22:50:00 -0700

US President Donald J Trump has once again shocked the world by imposing another 25% tariffs on India over and above the existing 25% tariff proposed recently. The additional tariff would be implemented in a 21 days time giving India very little time to negotiate. Trump also hinted that some more countries are on his tariff hike list in which one of them could be China. Trump said that he is not singling out India for buying Russian oil. It is worth mentioning that China is the biggest importer of Russian oil.

These additional tariffs could hurt Indian exporters as similar products from countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan, Philippines and Indonesia could compete with them. The additional 50% tariff on Indian products would deeply affect the choice of buyers in United States as to whether to buy these products from India at such high costs.

India’s major export products to USA include pharmaceuticals, precious stones, jewellery, electronic items, petroleum products, textiles, automobile and its parts, chemicals, agricultural produce etc. The short-term impact of this tariff could be devastating for Indian exporters as they would see a sudden drop in the demand for their goods.

India has two options now. Either India can accept the main demand of USA which is stop buying Russian oil or maintain the status quo and face financial repercussions in Indian economy. The short-term impact of the later option would be huge. However, this is also an opportunity for India to diversify their export portfolio and end the reliance on USA

What is Novel Corona Virus or COVID-19 | The Origin of COVID-19

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Wed, 3 Jun 2020 01:34:00 -0700

The great human race came to a standstill in the year 2020 due to the deadly Corona virus also known as COVID-19. The outbreak began in the wet markets of Wuhan city located in Hubei province of China. Though the origin of this outbreak is still a mystery, our best researches indicates the origin to be a wet market in China. There were as few as 40 infections during December 2019 in Wuhan. However, it has now spread to 213 countries and territories around the world resulting in 6,463,647 infections and 382,709 deaths.

COVID-19 has affected all forms of business around the world. There isn’t a single industry that hasn’t been touched by Corona Virus. Be it tourism, travel, agriculture, retail stores, there isn’t a single area that has been affected by COVID-19. However, most of the impact was borne by the health sector. It changed the way how we define human health.

For one, Nations understood that having superior medical infrastructure in their country is not enough as long as other nations are also able to resolve their medical deficiencies. Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, President of the European Commission urged all nations to pool their resources in fighting off COVID-19 as she understood that this is a world health issue and nations cannot succeed unless they all cooperate.

We do not know much about the Novel Corona Virus. Scientists are on a race to develop a vaccine for fighting off COVID-19. So far, an American company named Moderna has shown promise in the development of Corona Virus vaccine as they have entered phase II of their clinical trial. It has been an unprecedented rate of vaccine development as the process usually takes 10 to 20 years.

Although, the SARS CoV 2 is not airborne, it can linger in the air for some time. COVID-19 spreads through droplets coming out of an infected person’s nose or mouth while the person talks, breathes or sneezes. Infection from large droplets can be avoided easily by maintaining a minimum distance from other person as these droplets fall to the ground quickly. However, the small droplets can reach further distances and can be carried by the wind. That is why it is essential to wear face masks for preventing COVID-19.

A study conducted by German scientists in the small city of Heinsberg, also known as Wuhan of Germany, revealed some facts about the SARS CoV 2. They found out that traces of Corona Virus was still present in the many of the items used by the infected persons even though it was not enough to start a new infection. American Homeland Security Department, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) all came to the conclusion that Corona Virus is less likely to spread through non genetic material as they become inactive once they get exposed.

As much of the world is still trying to control the spread of COVID 19, a vaccination seems to be the only way out of this. However, it will be foolish to not to look into the development of treatment methods for COVID -19 as vaccination may not be 100% successful.

Nipah Virus Outbreak in Kozhikode, Kerala, India

noreply@blogger.com (Info Editor) — Mon, 28 May 2018 10:14:00 -0700

On May 5th, 2015, in a village area of Kerala, India, a person named Mohammad Sabith(23) died of fever. He was admitted in the hospital. The Health department of the State of Kerala did not expect what was coming to hit them. Two weeks later, his brother was also seen showing the same symptoms. He too was admitted in the hospital. One of the elder lady in the family also got sick. This time the Health department became alarmed and they took the blood samples of the patients. They did not collect the blood sample of the first patient since they had no clue about the cause behind his death. They send the samples to Department of Virus Reasearch, Manipal Academy of Higher Education. The Health Department did not stop there. They took extreme care in isolating the patients and stopping any chance of spreading this virus.

On May 20th, 2018, the result from Manipal came which showed that the outbreak was nothing but Nipah virus. By this time the death toll has increased. One of the nurse who attended Mohammad Sabith also died from the infection. This caused massive fear in the people. The outbreak happened in Changroth Panchayath, Perambra, Kozhikode district of Kerala. Kerala has one of the finest Health care system in India. It was because of this standards in Health Care at grass root level that the outbreak was stopped at an early stage.

Nippah Virus is a deadly virus. NiV spreads from animals to humans, animals to animals and humans to humans. It spreads through body fluids. However it is never reported that it spreads through air making it easier to quarantine the patients and stop further spread.

There is no doubt that the Outbreak of Nipah virus has caused tremendous fear and panic in people. It was seen that the staff working in Health Departments were treated differently by the public fearing they could be infected as well. People were seen to avoid Nurses and Doctors in public transport. It was such a bad scene as this reduces morale of these Nurses and Doctors.

What is more alarming is that the Health authorities are yet to determine the source of this Nipah virus. They first thought that the virus came from bats just like the case in Malaysia which happened decades ago killing hundreds of people. Now they are yet to prove that the virus outbreak was indeed caused by bats.

How Donald Trump became President of the United States of America ( USA )

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Thu, 26 Jan 2017 20:47:00 -0800

On 8th November 2016, Americans took part in general elections to elect their new President. This year the battle for Presidency was a different one. The election favored Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. Trump beat the opposition leader Hilary Clinton, the Democratic candidate despite the fact that Hilary Clinton won the popular vote. How is it possible to become President of USA even if you don't have the majority of vote ? The answer lies in the working principle of Electoral College.

Electoral college is a house of representatives. The citizens of Americans does not directly elect their President. They elect representatives to Electoral college. These members of electoral college in turn elect the new President. So its not the people's majority of votes that matter rather the number of representatives favoring a particular Presidential candidate that matters. Each state has a certain number of seats allocated to Electoral college. The bigger states have more seats while the smaller states have less seats. However a minimum of 3 seats are allocated to any state. Let's take a state where 30 Electoral seats are allocated. If the Republicans win 16 seats in that state, they have the majority of seats in that state. So they automatically will get the other 14 electoral seats too regardless of the fact that they lost in that 14 seats. This means that Republicans now have 30 seats from a single state. In this way you only need to win the biggest states where there is a lot of electoral seats. Hence we see the Presidential candidates running most of their campaign in big states such as Florida, California etc. Trump took advantage of this system and hence won the Presidential election.

Exit Polls - Kerala Legislative Assembly Election 2016

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Tue, 17 May 2016 10:24:00 -0700

The Kerala Legislative Assembly election was held on 16th May 2016 along with three other states and an Union Territory. The three other states were Tamil Nadu, Assam and West Bengal. The Union Territory is Puducherry. This is a much awaited and contested election in recent times because of the political parties involved. Congress ( UDF ) is now ruling Kerala. If they were to win the election, they will retain power for another 5 years. This will be a tremendous blow to the opposition which is LDF.
However reports from exit poll suggested that LDF led by communist party of India (Marxists) or CPIM will storm the Kerala Assembly Elections 2016. Exit poll suggested that Assam might come under the rule of BJP. In Tamil Nadu, it is expected that DMK will rule again. Congress will be finding some form of grace in their alliance with DMK.

Out of the 4 elections conducted, it is expected that BJP will clearly lead in the number seats. This election is also seen as the return of CPM led LDF (Left Democratic Front) .

Train Fever 2014 Gameplay | Game Guide to Train Fever Simulation Game

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Sun, 14 Jun 2015 07:54:00 -0700

First of all, this game is good. I would say in the category of rail road games Train Fever is one of the best if not the top one. This game guide is basically the stuffs I had understood from playing the game Train Fever. This game is basically about building and running a rail road empire successfully.

So here are my tips..

ð Build your Cities

Cities are the basic pillars of having more passengers. The more the number of people living in a city, the more the passengers that city can provide. So your sole aim should be to grow your cities. The first thing to do is connect the city with another city using a rail road. You could also connect cities using bus and tram routes but I would say that wouldn’t be much fun. If the towns are too close you might opt for running buses between them. The buses have good speed lately in the game. Another way to build your city is to supply goods to the city. There are four kinds of goods available in the game. They are Oil, Timber, Coal and Iron. Coal and Iron are both required to produce steel. Make sure that each city gets at least one kind of goods.

ð Run Trains in Both Directions

In other words, run trains up and down rather than assigning a single train for a route. Assign multiple trains to a route that connects 4 or 5 cities up and down. Make sure two tracks are used for this route and at the last station on each end, create a link between those two tracks so that trains can switch tracks when changing directions from the last station. Running trains in this way can hugely increase your profit as these trains will work tirelessly in a group to bring down the frequency of travel duration. Anything in the range of 3 or 4 minutes of frequency is all you need.

ð Place the Railway Station in the Heart of City

This thing is very important as more than half of passengers reach the station by walking. So you don’t to increase their travel time by placing the railway station far away. I would place the station connected to a road near the green zone where more residents are there. Make sure both side of station have road network. Before you place the track connect a road to the other side of station as the game progresses, it will be difficult to place roads there. Also the area near railway station gets developed fast.

ð Create Feeding Lines to Trains

Create a feeding line to the railway station. This can be either a tram route or a bus route. Connect the brightest spots of residents, commercial center and leisure center to the railway station using road network. These feeding lines make profit during the early stages of game but as the game progresses you might need to readjust the stops in these routes as cities develops.

ð Reduce Goods Delivery Time

At first the goods delivery time can be around 15 minutes or so but as the game progresses, you need to bring it down under 10 minutes. If the goods delivery time is more, the industry chain will cease to produce goods. This works in the case of passengers as well.

ð Destroy the Roads Between Cities

This of course is a cheat. By destroying the roads between cities, people are forced to use your travel network. But this does not have much effect on the passenger numbers.

ð Late Game Issues

After 1950 Train Fever is a different game. You will start to notice a decline in the number of passengers even in the most economic routes. This presents a new scenario to the players. You will have to choose between speed of trains and their running costs. Trains become costlier as time progresses. At this stage it would be better to run trains between cities that are spaced much distance apart. Cities that lie close doesn’t provide much passengers because most of the people have cars and they would use their private vehicles if your travel network is not fast. So you might want to bring down the frequency to 3 minutes or less. This can be done by running more trains in a route. You also want your cities to be developed before 2000. I usually have around 700 people average in most of the cities by the year 1950. This is done by connecting all the cities with at least one train route by the year 1900. My most profitable lines generates a profit of 10 million. The travel time in that route is 4 minutes and I have 5 trains running in that route up and down connecting 5 cities. The passenger number in any single train will always be more than hundred.

Train Fever Game Review | Train Simulation Games 2015

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Sun, 14 Jun 2015 07:14:00 -0700

Train Fever is a simulation game released in July 2014. Train Fever is basically all about building a rail road empire starting from as early as 1850. The game time spans from 1850 to around 2014. But you can play as long as you want. This is just like the ANNO series or Tropico series. The game starts at year 1850 with one basic train. Of course the first train runs incredibly slow. The speed and capacity of trains increase along the time span as more powerful and spacious trains are unlocked.

The technological development is nicely portrayed in the game. Electric trains replace coal and diesel powered trains as the game progresses. Electric trains are very fast and cheap. Well of course some trains are very costly to run. The fun of the game is finding the perfect train for the routes. Laying out the tracks and connecting cities through railroads are deeply satisfying. Once the trains on that route makes profits in millions, it is much more rewarding. Speaking of the game as a whole, the game lives up to its name “Train Fever”.

Although building tracks is fun, it can be annoying sometimes. The most tiresome procedure is replacing the old trains and road vehicles with new ones. Even though trains have much more lifespan than the road vehicles like trucks and buses, it is a difficult procedure to find the train and send it to depot for selling or replacing. As the game progresses the number of train routes and road routes increases and it can get annoying to find the lines from a vast number of lines. The developers of the game Train Fever has done a nice job to color code each line. So when you create a new line it might be in some random color which can help you identify that respective route very easily.

We always like simulation games because they are deeply rewarding for the work we do in building up the cities or traffic and Train Fever absolutely stands up to fulfil you in that way. Watching the economic panel of train and road routes and those green colored profit amount is very fun.

Technical Specifications

Release Date – 4^th September 2014
Developed by – Urban Games
Platform – Linux, Microsoft Windows OS
Genre – Simulation game
Person – Single player (No multiplayer mode available)

Note - Yes, I would definitely recommend this game to a friend. The Train Fever game play is good
