Editorial

Inbox Instant Hit Now you are getting hotter. The feature on houseboat making was something novel. The highlight of the issue is Eric Laffourgue, whose pictures are like unread poems. His photographs are not to be seen, but to be felt. The cover page is an instant hit. The article on Pai and brothers is also great. When you write on countries like Ecuador, please include how to reach, tourist visa rules etc… I eagerly wait for the column of Mr. Tourist Santhosh George Kulangara. B.N.

A ghost town is an abandoned town or city. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, war, or nuclear disasters. The term is sometimes used to refer to cities, towns, and neighborhoods which are still populated, but significantly less so than in years past. A few ghost towns get a second life, often due to heritage tourism generating an economy able to support residents
