I finally got my posting this month at work. Coimbatore will be my new home. The Manchester of South India, the city and its surrounding geographies are in the middle of an economic boom. For the first time, I see a city where manufacturing is above par the services/agriculture in terms of employment as well as wealth creation. The cost of living, not surprisingly, seems to be nearly as high, if not more than, Chennai. In fact, one of my friends went to the extent of suggesting that it is costlier than Bangalore.
Anyways, since I am going to be here for sometime, you will have enough of Coimbatore snippets in the days to come. Just thought I will make a post as I begin another journey in a new city. I am looking forward to the challenges and hope to have fun in the way!

Cool. Happens to be my hometown... and I'm going to be there this Thursday and Friday. We can catch up if you are free... drop in to my house sometime.
And yes, it's a nice and small city. Beautiful weather and nice people, not essentially cheap, but rental is cheaper... though am not sure if you would be entertained enough!
@ Govar - all our dear buddy needs to survive is a decent movie theater, a laptop and a shack remotely resembling Saravana Bhavan.
He'll start to 'part-ay!' at Coimbatore in no time :))
