COIMBATORE

 

After the experience of Trichur, which is bursting at the seams owing to bulging traffic and full of buildings offering nothing else to the eyes, Coimbatore in Tamilnadu is a welcome relief!
Here space seems to be unlimited. Buses are plenty for movement in the town, minimum bus fare a mere two rupees, compared to three and half rupees in Keralam. I found the Principals of the schools I visited eager to buy my book.
I wondered at the number of banks at Trichur, a few dozens in a square mile. Compare it with just a few, in business centre at Coimbatore
I did not find any antagonism against Hindi. Many people answered in Hindi!
It is just nine rupees by passenger train from Palakkad to Coimbatore which is called ‘poor men’s Ooty
