  Kerala is indeed God's own country, but unfortunately devils have taken over it.

Here are real-time pictures of the scenic backwaters and lakeside resorts of Kerala. You decide if the title of this write-up is justified by viewing the pictures. Yes ladies and gentlemen ---This is a part of your great India.        Calling on 2 of my  buddies Tom and Dr Joe - In my next Kerala trip which of these places should we go to????  Have a nice day friends.TONY CHACKO  (P.S. While I take pride in being a Keralian I just can't help giving vent to an expression on the flip side of my native state. Yes indeed God has given it the best resources, scenic landscapes with the best fertile lands of India. So though the state markets itself as God's own country, it is unfortunately run by the devil's army of lazy workers - because it is a real paradise for worker unions who are experts in jeopardising any large developmental projects.The honest fact is that worker productivity is the least in the state, BUT when these Keralians go to work overseas or in other states of India, they are the most resourceful and hard working people for those places. I am not going to get into any argument with any unreasonable patriot of Kerala. Just think of one basic need in modern development. Despite any government administering the state, there is absolutely no organised plan for good roadways. Any road that is built is   always eroded by the year's heavy monsoons)            God's Own Country, is a phrase that is used to refer to several places such as the United States, New Zealand, Kerala (India) and Yorkshire. Abbreviated to Godzone or less often Godzown, the term has been used for more than 100 years by New Zealanders to describe their homeland. It has subsequently been adopted by some other countries, notably Australia, but this has declined as the phrase has become increasingly associated with Kerala, India. In recent years the phrase has been adopted as a slogan by the tourism department of the Kerala state government in India as people started to explore more places outside the traditional tourist spots        The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes  lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar  Coast) of Kerala  state in southern India. The network includes five large  lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and  extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed  by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier  islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western  Ghats range.    The Kerala Backwaters are a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes  and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways,  and sometimes compared to the American Bayou.  In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which  serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. National Waterway  No. 3 from Kollam  to Kottapuram,  covers a distance of 205 km and runs almost parallel to the coast line of  southern Kerala facilitating both cargo movement and backwater tourism.    The backwaters have a unique ecosystem - freshwater from the rivers meets  the seawater from the Arabian Sea. In certain areas, such as the Vembanad  Kayal, where a barrage has been built near Kumarakom,  salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the  fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation  purposes.    Many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs and mudskippers,  water birds such as terns,  kingfishers,  darters and cormorants,  and animals such as otters  and turtles live  in and alongside the backwaters. Palm trees, pandanus  shrubs, various leafy plants and bushes grow alongside the backwaters,  providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.    Vembanad  Kayal is the largest of the lakes, covering an area of 200 km², and  bordered by Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kottayam,  and Ernakulam districts. The port of Kochi  (Cochin) is located at the lake's outlet to the Arabian Sea. Alleppey,  "Venice of the East", has a large network of canals that meander  through the town. Vembanad is India's longest lake.      Tourist's  Map Of Kerala          The heavenly joy of going along the Backwaters of Kerala in a Houseboat.
