Hajeemoosa - a textile shop in Coimbatore



Here is the description I saw in the Hajeemoosa (Since 1878) website!

When you tell your friend that you had been to Coimbatore, instinctively he asks you, "Did you visit hajeemoosa?"

Stand for a while in front of hajeemoosa.Looking at a number of people, both Indian and foreign moving in, you wonder if it is not another tourist attraction in the temple city.

You are at once seized by an irresistible temptation to walk in.Once you are in, you are overawed with the experience of visiting the largest departmental store in Coimbatore

Hajeemoosa is an attractive shopping centre of tourist interest. Carefully and tastefully chosen fabrics and garments galore; hand-woven and machine-woven fabrics in Silk and Cotton,of exotic colours, in artistic designs and prints of traditional pattern.Silks of Banaras and Kancheepuram,Cottons of Coimbatore and Coimbatore

If you haven't been to Meenakshi Temple and hajeemoosa, You haven't been to Coimbatore.

Sun Driving School, Coimbatore: Traditional Coimbatore Companies willing to come online

There are sample websites, for signifying that Traditional Coimbatore companies are willing to come online and make their online presence.

There was a draft version of a website launched for Sun Driving School, Coimbatore. Check out SunDrivingSchool.com.

Sun Driving School, Coimbatore is a number one Driving School in Coimbatore. As the name signifies, Sun Driving School is the best and pioneer in disciplined functioning and operations of the company and serving the community with excellent customer service.

There are various other driving schools in Coimbatore, but Sun Driving School had stood out anytime from the launch many years ago. Sun Driving School has branches in and around Coimbatore - One is By-Pass Road(Central Coimbatore), One near Anna Busstand(North Coimbatore) and another in Thirunagar(South Coimbatore). What else you want? Whereever you are located, you can visit them and get the training you want for personal use or for commercial use.

They have excellent set of resources to give you whatever driving training you might need!!!

I believe, if all the traditional companies in Coimbatore come out and make their online presence, there would be good amount of growth!!

Why Bi-Cycles issued by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister?

I recently saw a news that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister issued free bi-cycles to 5 lakh students of tamil nadu state. I am not sure why we do we have to do this for a huge budget of Rs.102 crores. Will the students do not go to school, if they don't have a bi-cycle?

There are so many productive things, which can be done. I am not convinced why do we have to do this, while there are so many better things to do.

If they are giving sathunavu(free food) or free books or notebooks, that is different. I am not convinced with Rs. 102 crore budget free bi-cycle.

This is my personal opinion as a citizen and it is not an opinion of any of my organizations.

Is it good to take loans from Retirement Savings Accounts?

Is it good to take loans from Retirement Savings Accounts?

Well, Good Question!!
The answer is YES and NO.
YES: If you take loan from your own Retirement Savings Account, you pay interest to yourself and it is good for you. It is like challenging yourself with some more commitment, while you achieve what you want now, instead of waiting for your retirement amount, if you are just 40 years old right now.

NO: If you take loan from your own Retirement Savings Account, you are breaking your own retirement money, which is not good from another perspective. Also, if you loose your job, and if you are not able to end up in some other job sooner, it becomes difficult to pay back the whole loan amount.

The above views are personal. please research, while you make a decision. Thank you
