[www.keralites.net] COMING SOON - Do mind your Ts and Rs, guys!

HIGHLIGHTS
The buses with alternate fuels are all produced in India
The fuel cell produces electricity to power the electric motor
The Hybrid buses will soon be seen in Mumbai
Tata Motors launched the future of mass public transportation at its Pune facility and took another step in the direction of green technology and mobility solutions. The company launched the Starbus Electric 9m, Starbus Electric 12m and the Starbus Hybrid 12m range of buses which are designed, developed, powered by alternate fuels and made in India. The company says will be a good for smart cities. The company also showcased the country's first Fuel Cell bus (12m), LNG Powered bus (12m), and an 18m Articulated bus.
The Hydrogen Powered Starbus Fuel Cell bus is a zero-emission mass transport solution, for inter-city commute and has been developed in partnership with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). Combining hydrogen gas and oxygen, the fuel cell produces electricity to power the electric motor, with water and heat as a byproduct. This is the first time an Indian manufacturer has ventured in this direction. As far as Electric buses are concerned, Tata Motors finds a rival in the form of Ashok Leyland who recently revealed the Circuit series of all-electric buses which was in fact India's first of its kind.
Starbus Articulated Bus
The company has already extensively tested the CNG hybrid buses across the country in cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Surat and we first saw them in New Delhi during the 2010 Commonwealth games.
It was just last year that the company signed a contract for the single largest order for Hybrid Electric vehicle technology, with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), to supply 25 units of the Starbus Diesel Hybrid electric bus with Full Low floor configuration. These buses will be delivered in the first quarter of FY2017-18 and will connect Sion, Bandra & Kurla to Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
Starbus Hybrid Bus
Ravindra Pisharody, Executive Director - Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors said, "We have consistently been developing and manufacturing products that can contribute to CO2 reductions across all road transport segments and with early investments in new technologies, we are geared up to further strengthen our market leadership. With our new range of Future ready buses, we will continue to play an active role in mass public transportation, with a commitment towards striking the right balance between sustainable growth and profitability."

[www.keralites.net] Mohan Chavara, builds a organic village in kerala on the banks of the Bharathapuzha [2 Attachments]

Mohan Chavara, builds a organic village in kerala on the banks of the Bharathapuzha

Mohan, a sculptor, and his wife Rukmini, the principal of a nursing college, nurtured a dream for many years of building a community of like-minded people committed to an organic way of life. Three years ago they gathered together 14 other families who wished a life away from concrete jungles overflowing with processed foods and assembly-line goods.

Together, the 15 families bought two-and-a-half acres of land on the banks of the Bharathapuzha river, each family possessing between 12 and 16 cents of land.

Simple mud or wooden houses, self-cultivated vegetables and pulses, fruit trees, cows, goats and many more domestic animals, a communal kitchen for all 15 families to gather together and share food, and a communal guest house to host visitors, are all planned for the village which is being constructed.

And it perhaps is, since it is the fulfilment of a dream long held by Mohan Chavara and his family, and of a community for people committed to organic living. Built on the banks of the Bharathapuzha, a ten-minute walk from the Mannannur railway station in Palakkad, this village is nestled on two-and-a-half acres of picturesque land.

Simple community living

One year ago Mohan's family was the first to shift into the upcoming village. Mohan, Rukmini and their two daughters – 11-year-old Sreya and 18-year-old Surya –have already built a tree house, while a mud house is under construction.

Before that though, they had to do substantial work on the land. "When we first reached here there was a rubber plantation here. The first thing we did was to chop them all down. Rubber is not good for the soil. Then we planted fruit trees and vegetable gardens," Mohan says.

"One more family will move here in another six months, and the others will move in gradually. Here we follow an organic culture, pure natural living," Mohan explains while watering his vegetable garden. "Last year the yield from the vegetable garden was unexpectedly high," Mohan says.

Mohan says that his family decided to build their village after many years of urban living with all its luxuries, when they realised they were still dissatisfied. "For some years we also lived with all facilities, house, car etc… But there is no point to it. We should have a community to live healthy. Children should grow up loving nature," he explains.

Mohan says that he finds the culture of spending lakhs and crores to build concrete houses in urban centres untenable. "People take huge loans to build house and spend rest of their life repaying them. Better to build a comfortable home to stay peacefully close to nature," he says.

The Kashi Vishwanath temple was last rebuilt and restored to its glory by the Queen of Indore, Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar. She took the initiative to restore the temple and also provided the funds for it. Aurangzeb had destroyed the temple and built a mosque in its place.

Jyotirlingas

Kashi Vishwanath is revered as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Shiva. It is also said that Lord Shiva actually stayed here for some time. Kashi has been derived from the word KAS, which literally means to shine.

[www.keralites.net] Coffee shop serving drink made from beans that have passed through civet cat... at £9 a cup

Enjoy your cat-poo-cino! Coffee shop serving drink made from beans that have passed through civet cat... at £9 a cup

It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by an Asian Toddy cat and passed through its digestive tract.

Kopi Luwak, or Civet coffee, is said to be one of the trendiest beverages around – as long as you don't think too hard about where it came from.

Bizarre beverage: Helena Couchani with a bag of the Civit coffee beans. The unusual coffee is made from beans that have eaten and excreted by wild cats Image result for civet coffee article with pictures

The coffee, which costs between £200 and £300 per pound, is so expensive because of its scarcity, as only 500kgs of the beans are produced in its home of Indonesia each year.

Locals pick the 'coffee beans' from the faeces of Asian civet cats, which eat the ripe coffee berries as part of their diet.

Once they are cleaned they are roasted. The coffee they produce is described as filled with a deep, mellow flavour, not acidic, with a 'unique, soft, sweet taste'.

It is already been big hit in Japan and the U.S. and the latest place to sample the new brand is a coffee chain in Birmingham.
