Men looking for women for marriage?
Women looking for men for marriage?
Parents in Coimbatore start to look for mappillai, just right after the girl completes her graduation or when she is in the final year of her bachelorette. For guys, they don't start looking immediately in Coimbatore. The guy has to start working and earn before he is eligible to get married.
Parents in Coimbatore start saving for girl's marriage right after her birth and while she is growing up. For guys, he has to get job and start earning.
In those days, Parents in Coimbatore just tell the relatives that they are ready for their daughter to get married. Using the relative network, the bride or bridegroom is identified and the two of them get married. Even I remember, relatives pass on the news to my parents saying let us know if there is anybody looking for bride or bridegroom etc.,
Nowadays there are lot of options for searching for bride and bridegroom -
1) There are n number of sites for matrimony, including tamilmatrimony.com, shaadi.com etc.,
2) These days, even caste based websites are available for looking bride or bridegroom.
3) As usual relative and friends network is used for searching.
4) There are physically located offices for different castes, which take broker commission.
5) There are individual marriage brokers available to help with a cheaper commission that corporate companies.
6) There are event planners, who help in this matter.
7) There as astrologers who do this as additional service.
Coimbatore is still at the level of Matrimonial and people looking for marriage. They have not gone to the level of dating website, which is actually good - from a conservative perspective!

Fast foods in Coimbatore - Chicken & Egg based restaurant
I went to KFC recently. I like the idea of a unique recipe and keeping that secret as secret.
I like the professional cooking and help. While I was there in KFC, I got an idea. Introducing such a Chicken + Egg based restaurant will be a great hit in Coimbatore area.
Egg is as usual cheap. Chicken is easily available and affordable. A decent fast food concept based on Chicken+Egg based foods with professional packing and easy to eat will be a great idea.
Franchisee concept would be a great help. All the best for your business. Just email coimbatoretimes@gmail.com, if you are going to use this idea!

Coimbatore had been a center for lot of things from the past history
Coimbatore had been a center for lot of things from the past history.
Starting from olden history dating from Pandya Kingdom, Vijayanagara Kingdom, Nayak Dynasty, British rule and till today among southern districts.
Thirumalai Nayak had a great dream for Coimbatore and he had lot of interest in arts.
There are short stories explaining Nayak's interest and dedication to art works in Coimbatore. Hence the temple in and around Coimbatore!! history
Coimbatore is amazing in terms of the core city architecture, temple architecture, people, lifestyle, food etc.,
Even today, for any southern Tamil Nadu districts center, Coimbatore is chosen! Coimbatore has the flavor of history still and that is the significance of Coimbatore.

Coimbatore Slums and Coimbatore Microfinance help
Coimbatore Slums and Microfinance help
When researchers met with people living in slums in Coimbatore, during a research, people brought the sufferings that they faced with the private money lenders. With no hope to get small business loans from financial institutions, people living in slums that would like to start up small businesses had to turn to illegal lenders charging a hefty high monthly interest. Moreover, they are totally shut out from professional help on starting and running a small business. In order to let the lives of people living in slums to be self-sustainable, as well as to help parents in Coimbatore to earn enough income to send their children back to school, we will have to decide to start micro credit and micro finance programs in Coimbatore.
In general, the rate of repayment of the loans is expected to be 99%. Micro-credit can be provided to the community for carrying out the following activities:
1. Flower Vending
2. Tea Stall
3. Cloth Vending
4. Sugar Cane Juice
5. Grocery shop
6. Milk Vending
7. Tricycle
8. Vegetable Vending
9. Sewing Machine
10. Idly Shop
11. Bakery
12. Fancy Store
13. Bottle cap
14. Dry Fish
15. Petty Shop
16. Basket Making
17. Rice Grinding
18. Ironing
19. Goat rearing
20. Selling toys
If you are a self-sufficiently budgeted person, you could try this project?!

One of my lifetime Coimbatore Dreams - Coimbatore Chain of Libraries
One of my lifetime Coimbatore Dreams
I have always like the concept of Library in my childhood.
My mother used to work as a librarian in my school, apart from being a clerk cum typist in the same school.
Even though I don't really have looked into the books very curiously, my mother used to bring books on rent to home for reading. She gives me newspapers for reading, so that I and my brothers would get reading habit. She really understood the concept of reading and its associated advantages. She tried a lot with us.
My uncle(my mother's brother) works as a clerk in Coimbatore Kamaraj University as well. He gets us books from the MKU library for rent. We had so much advantange and access to the libraries in the town.
The libraries, any student would get access to in Coimbatore town are - School library, College Library, University Library, Street library(if one exists) and the City Government Library.
However, when a student wants entertainment, he/she does not go to a library to spend/kill time. Cinema theaters are the main destination, even if it is a daytime or afternoon times.
I think there has to be an option for somebody to spend time in a local library in every area. That is my dream. Anybody should love reading. Reading a book, apart from academic books had been an alien idea for someone.
I am setting a budget starting in 2005 from my personal money to build a network of libraries in and around Coimbatore. Anybody wants to read or gain knowledge or kill time or spend time usefully or pass free time or entertain themselves or have meeting and discuss about knowledgeable topics - then they should think about this chain of libraries. Libraries should facilitate a great childhood in Coimbatore to win the world!!
I am talking, representing New Coimbatore Foundation. I don't know which year I would be able to build this network of libraries, but definitely I will before I die! That is too far anyway.
This is one of my dreams - Building a Network of Libraries in and around Coimbatore.

Coimbatore PRP
Before ADMK left Coimbatore constituency to CPI(M), there was a news that ADMK was searching an "equally" powerful person for Mr.Azhagiri standing in Coimbatore for DMK. ADMK official O Panneerselvam was assigned the job of convincing Mr. P Palanichamy, PRP Granites and Exports owner.
However, looks like Mr. P Palanichamy did not agree to contest in the election for some reason!
PRP Exports is headed by Mr.P. Palanichamy, a veteran in the field known for his extensive knowledge on granites. He is ably assisted and supported by Mr.P.Senthil Kumar, Mr.P. Suresh Kumar and Mr.K. Murugesan as the pillars of M/s PRP Exports.
You can find more info about his company and empire in Coimbatore - PRP Exports
Coimbatore City Planning is praised - concentric square design
"Good city form" is a book by Kevin Lynch and it was published by MIT Press, 1984.
He writes and praises Coimbatore City Architecture.
"The Indian theorists, while they may have influenced fewer actual towns, were even more explicit in the connections they made between gods, men, rites and city plans. There was a series of texts on city planning, the Silpasastras which indicated how the eath could be parceled out and the evil forces of chaos enclosed and controlled. The typical form was a mandala, a set of enclosing rings divided into squares, in which the most powerful point is at the center. Enclosure and protection point is at the center. Enclosure and protection reinforces holiness, and the key movements are from the outside in, or circling the sacred enclosure in a clockwise direction. The earth is sacred and safe to inhabit, once these rites and spatial divisions are accomplished.
The yearly religious processions follow the same encircling routes and residents organize the city in their minds in the same way. Coimbatore in India is a stiking example of this model in which even today the city shape, the temples, the rites, the mental images of residents, the locations of activities, the main roads and even the bus routes are all matched to this symbolic form."
Coimbatore Machan commenting - Only issue with it is the roads are smaller. However with bridges this issue can be solved, I believe. Architects would know better...
