Remembering My Great Coimbatore - A special report from Coimbatore Machan! - Part I

Considering the fact that this article is a 400th article in Made in Coimbatore, I am writing this special article remembering coimbatore.

Dear Coimbatore,
I LOVE YOU my dear Coimbatore. I love you so much that no one can measure. I was born and did my schooling in Coimbatore. I just feel at home. No Hassles and No problem. Always had fun in Coimbatore. In fact some calm times are in Coimbatore only.

You are a perfect blend of rural emotions and urban facilities. People who live in Coimbatore enjoy both the advantages of rural and urban combinations. You can see whole lot of Rural floating population and also settled Urban population.

This article will manifest my love towards Coimbatore and also my dreams for Coimbatore.
I cannot make Coimbatore as New York, but I can make Coimbatore as another New Coimbatore, which is better than New York. This is my dream for my Coimbatore.

I want to call it "Pudhiya Coimbatore".
Kanavu Kandaen Naan Kanavu kandaen.
Yen Pudhiya Coimbatore Uruvaaga Kanavu Kandaen...Naan..
Kanavu Kandaen Naan Kanavu Kandaen..

This is a song written by me. But this dream has to be made to reality. That is what I will work towards.

I want to bring everything world class in Coimbatore. You might think why should I work on Coimbatore to get things straightened. Yes. I am thinking globally, acting locally, which I think is a success formula. Seeing the changes I make in Coimbatore, that exemplify for other cities over the country.

The areas which we will have to concentrate on:

People might think I am crazy, but probably I am. Why am I worrying only about Coimbatore - shouldn't I be concerned about all about India or all about mankind? You are right! But, my approach is - if we are able to make some positive change in Coimbatore, which is a small city in India and it is a part of India - automatically this positive change will spread across India and across the world. This is my opinion and I believe in this chain reaction.

In my life time, I can only work on something small and I want to achieve that. I don't want to take up a task in my life, which I will not be able to achieve it. I want to take up something which is challenging and at the same time achievable!! That is why Coimbatore!!! Moreover, I love Coimbatore!!!

Well, I have not talked yet about "remembering coimbatore". I have to talk more about Coimbatore in terms of what I remember!:-) in the following part II!!
