Coimbatore

Home…
is a lill town tucked away at the foot hills of the western ghats
Cbe…so much has changed…. And so much has stayed…. the same.

The mountains….stayed put!

Thatz what works for me.
regal n blue…
go where you may… they follow you….like the moon….
Silent n tall…



I often dream of wakin up to the view of one of them mountains… n sippin a hot cuppa joe!

Life ho tho aisa….!


Race course…. So changed!
Race Course is the new x cut road….
What once were colonial houses… sprawling mansions set on an acre … childhood haunts… good friends homes…have turned into jazzy concrete multi storey buildings…buzzing with traffic n a road bump every 100 yards! Ughhhh!!!
I scan the crowds…. looking for a familiar face… wonder where people moved to?

Weather…stayed the same.
Pleasant nippy early mornings… breezy nites…
Having set foot on many an airport across the world…
and nothing to beat cbe airport.
Step off the aircraft…n regardless of the time of day…
I am greeted with this gentle pleasant breeze …
it engulfs me…like an old friend…welcoming me home…with a calm hug.
CBE airport….hate it n love it just as much.
love it when I land…
hate it soooo.......when its time to leave.

CBE Residents… no longer the same
CBE seems to have attracted rural folks from neighboring villages… n the genre of folks I grew up with seem to have vanished…for good… takin the class outta CBE.

See what I mean???


Need (I say) any more? Lol!

pSST.... this is in RSPuram... what used to be THE place to hang out!



Cbe… will always be home
Will I ever come back to live here…?
nope... not my cuppa daily needings! EEE
