Whenever taking an auto in chennai always follow the following rule for the fare to be given to the auto.
Whatever the amount the driver is mentioning, ask him 3/4th of the amount.
i.e., (asked_Amount*3)/4
For ex. if the drive asks Rs.100, then you can bargain for <=Rs.75.
You can also ask even lesser than that. Then it is well and good.
Going for more than this amount is a loss for us.
This rule can be applied in Coimbatore also.

Vadamalayan Hospital - Medical Tourism, Coimbatore
Sponsored by OruAcre.com
I recently visited Vadamalayan Hospital in Coimbatore, for my mother. Lot of things are taken care in the hospital related to cardiology especially. Inside, it looks like as if I am inside a very big hospital like Government Rajaji Hospital. Patients are very well taken care and it is expensive for sure for local people, however people from outside the country or much bigger cities would find it cheaper for the amount of treatment that is made.
Special doctors are available in this Coimbatore hospital. Anyway, here are some details about their Medical Tourism package in Coimbatore by the hospital.

Terrible inflation in Coimbatore
Coimbatore Mani has already written a great article about price raise in Coimbatore. here is the article - click here.
When I last visited coimbatore, Rs.100s was in high rotation.
Now (after 3 years), Rs.500s go very fast.
I am surprised to see that prices had raised - that too in Coimbatore (where there is no actual/solid development) within a very short time.
It is worst inflation I have ever seen. I am not sure how the Coimbatore people who earn less than Rs.5000 still survive in Coimbatore.

In Coimbatore - you need know someone in TOP to be successful
In Coimbatore, if you want to be successful - you need to
1) KNOW SOMEONE IN TOP OR
2) HAVE LOT OF MONEY AND/OR
3) HAVE LOT OF MAN POWER OR
4) BE SOMEONE IN TOP or
in someway identify yourself to be related to someone in TOP.
I am sure you understand what I am saying.
If you are an average individual, you have no power! You will be kicked out in every place or business you go to, in Coimbatore. I have personally experience in every place I went. Even the officers treat badly or atleast they won't provide you the service very easily, if you are a small person and nobody in Coimbatore.
I went to SBI Bank, ICICI bank, Indian Bank, Airtel office, BSNL office etc.,. Even tea shops, parotta shops, neighbours, police station, traffic police, cinema theatre, any queues or lines to get a service.
A treatment from a construction worker (say electrician etc.,) will be different, if you are somebody!!!
This is shocking, untasteful, but that is the truth! This is true almost anywhere in India - I believe. I am guessing that is not the case in big cities!!

Coimbatore does not know what is customer service!?
Sponsored by OruAcre.com
Here is one experience on a customer service of a small business owner.
I wanted to get a quote for my printing needs in Coimbatore. I tried to look up in Internet, which was not a fruitful experience. Then I decided and just went on a bike ride to find out a publications who would help me for my publication needs and printing needs.
I was told by an old person I should search near Arya bhavan in coimbatore town area. When I was going towards Arya Bhavan, I encountered one offset shop. I visited that shop and I was not greeted great. Even though I was identified as a great prospect, if I would have been treated well there, I would have proceeded on my business with that guy. But I was not given that treatment and I decided not to go with that business. As a small business owner, he/she takes over the business started by his/her father or grandfather. Hence they do not know about the customer service and the relationship.
The vendor had a frustrated face and was hesitant and frustrated for giving me a quote. Unbelieveable!!! Hello - I am giving you business. i don't feel that my business will be taken care if I do business with this guy....
Another scenario - I was asking a coimbatore based business person for my software needs. Again I am a customer - I asked for a quote and this person said he will get back to me and never came back - It is been one full day and I did not get any response. In fact, I have even mentioned that it is very important and I need this done very fast.
On other hand, I had to give this business/project to a Coimbatore based web design company - who has been very responsive and my business is being taken care very well!!
I don't think all of the business owners are like this, but some has to wake up. Coimbatore does not seem to be very friendly already for Business - on top of this some business owners have to wake up and learn about customer service in Coimbatore!!
I am surprised to see this kind of a thing happening in Coimbatore, where business had been done with very much customer centric focus.

Coimbatore Ring road
Sponsored by OruAcre.com
This is one of the things I was glad to see in Coimbatore, after my 3 years visit to Coimbatore.
Roads are very well made to connect outside the villages as a bypass to many villages. This makes it exactly like Freeways in many foreign countries. The way the symbols are done are very well planned. I am sure, officials had visited developed nations to study and implement in Coimbatore and other areas.
My only worry here is - people do not follow traffic symbols really and on other hand - I am hoping the roadways will be well maintained as it was built at first place. Hope it does not become like just another road and holes show up in freeway, which actually will lead to slowness of traffic and leads to accidents etc.,.
I felt great to see the STOP symbols and YIELD symbols - though they are not actually followed. The concept of exit in the highways - which took some time for me in my visit to a developed country the very first time.
