Destined to be indoors


For city residents, weekend family outings are getting more and more scarce. It is not just the hostile weather that is keeping the outdoor-loving citizen confined to his home. The absence of suitable sites too is a dampener.

If the city zoo has been closed down following the recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the Sanghumukham beach, another favoured weekend getaway, has all but disappeared under the onslaught of the turbulent sea. It is little comfort that the two most popular weekend venues in the city would be back to normal in a matter of days or weeks.

Many residents find the crowded premises of the Museum and the Kanakakunnu Palace too uncomfortable to be of any use as a getaway.

That leaves them with the option of making it to a theatre for the latest film or simply curling up in front of the idiot box in the living room.
