Once more, with hope Business and industry are chugging back to normalcy…
The world is in revival mode once again, after the last couple of years spent shrouded in uncertainty on all fronts. Business and industry are chugging back to normalcy, with zest and zeal and optimism for a normal future that ought to bustle with activity and gains. Covid fatigue is a real thing and no one wants 24X7 updates on positive cases and symptoms and all the ensuing brouhaha any more. People just want to get on with their lives like before. So with spring in our step as the summer sun shines, let’s look forward and march ahead with hope! SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

Leading from the front Neena Kishore of Gokulam Group infuses compassion and zeal in her leadership style By Smiti Jain Narayan

eena Kishore is not just the Group General Manager of Gokulam Group of Hotels, one of South India’s leading names in the hospitality field, she is an industry in her own right! The dynamic lady has been changing the face and factors of hospitality since the last 20-odd years, in multiple ways with her passion, zeal and vision to make a difference every day. Starting out as a young trainee as a mere teenager, Neena Kishore slowly grew into her role, learning the ropes step by step, working her way up to managerial levels by sheer dint of her hard work and unwavering dedication to learn, work, understand ,improve, internalise, and then slowly bring her own dynamism into play by infusing everyday activities and requirements with something extra. This “extra” was always her own understanding of the power of being human, and how and we can do just about anything as long as we use common sense and stay positive. As she says,”We humans are the most powerful creatures in the world. People say don’t expect anything, and accept everything. I say just live and explore your one time life. We have only 36,500 days on this planet, which is 8 lakh hours only! So what are we doing with our lives in this limited time? This is the power of humans – we can do anything, whether positive, negative or neutral.” Neena expounds on the concept of common sense, which is all about what is today, and what is next. What you see is the only thing that matters, some people are born blessed, with privileges. But even if you‘re not born privileged, you can come up with common sense, hard work and dedication. She tells people to not lose hope ever, that they can do anything they like. “Common sense is all we need no COIMBATORE

matter where we come from. Just like when a child is born, he knows what to do, how to come out of his mother’s womb. It’s all natural. We should not lose with natural sense as we grow older, rather we should build upon it and use it in our daily lives as well,” she says. Giving her own example of how she has come up the hard way with dedication and eagerness to learn, she says she has come up in life not by reading books, but by observing and through positive reactivity to the observations. As Group GM of Gokulam Group of Hotels, as in-charge across India - Neena has proved her mettle as a leader and guide to her juniors.

COVER STORY
She believes in problem solving leadership, and guiding those who look up to her to find solutions. In the hotels and hospitality industry, as a new employee or junior, one’s job is to learn by doing. As a senior her role is to take on responsibility so she tells senior staff to respect the post and positon they hold, and guide the juniors positively to create a good future wherein some good things can be left in the world for others to follow. Says Neena, “God created more gods as humans, and as leaders, we are all gods with the responsibility to guide, lead, mentor positively and leave a positive footprint in the world. It’s not about a managing job, but a job about managing people.” she says, “I don’t manage hotels, I manage people. Manage people properly and everything else will fall in place.” In 2018, Neena Kishore joined Gokulam Park, after previous stints in The Residency, Le Meridien, Aloft, Park Plaza, Radisson and others. Since then she has displayed strong leadership in her role. During Covid in the last couple of years, the hospitality industry was hit hard, with no travel, no guests, and no business. At Gokulam group too, this was a period where there weren’t any travellers traffic and the revenue stream dried up. The hospitality industry was like a patient COIMBATORE

after accident. Now after Covid, recovery of this sector has restarted but different levels of employees have to be handled differently. Top and middle management were able to hold on in this difficult period but the junior levels of employees had to get a lot of hand-holding, counselling and training to tide through. Further after the long gap, they had to reattune themselves to understand their roles and responsibilities. Neena made it her mission to encourage and empower the juniors to bring them up to speed once again, her focus was to teach them the importance of grooming, punctuality and discipline as these are key factors in the hospitality field. In fact, she exhorts hotel management courses to include these topics in their curriculum, so it becomes part of their personality and the must-have qualities to discharge their function properly. Hotel management colleges must also provide basic body language and communication skills training for their students to make them ready for the demands of the hospitality industry. All levels of employees like kitchen, stewarding, housekeeping, engineering, security need proper training. Neena emphasizes the importance of hotel management students to be taught hospitality behaviour like smiling, wishing, grooming and communication skills before they are taught the subject matter, as these soft skills are what will really help them to perform better in hotels. Taking the lower levels of staff and juniors along and empowering them to function to optimum levels, is very high on Neena’s agenda as she feels that only an empowered employee can work best for any organisation, especially in a customer-facing environment where spot decisions need to be made often on the ground. Not just in the workplace but even in life in general, Neena’s philosophy centres around creating a perfect present today, in the moment, every minute of the day, in order to create a healthy future COIMBATORE

She credits him with trusting her on her journey at Gokulam and giving her group General Manager posting, as well as giving her a free hand to come forward with ideas and prove herself, as he has done with other employees as well – the mark of a true visionary leader. On a personal note, she also credits her husband Kishore for giving her confidence and motivating her to face all levels of challenges, as well as her daughter Livana who has always been cooperative in her endeavours to extend her support to the lesser privileged in society. The larger vision that Neena embodies is an amalgamate of far-reaching philosophy and a compassionate heart.

Starting with her own teams and juniors to instill them with confidence to achieve, she wants to extend her support to underprivileged children in sports, which can become a springboard for them to get free education and good job opportunities, to provide their families with basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare. She feels that even tribals should be encouraged and supported to come out and compete in mainstream sports – where they may naturally be better than city trained athletes.

Dams, waterfalls, landmarks, spiritual & religious shrines…
W
ith Coimbatore, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Textile Hub to Engineering Capital, from Retail City to Manchester of India, this hitherto small town is today a dynamic multi-business city and well on its way to becoming a sprawling metropolis. That’s not all. Kovai is also a travel haven and a great transit point. Check out the waterfalls, dams, temples, and wildlife sanctuaries on the city outskirts for a wonderful outing. Also, not to be missed are the Agricultural University and Crocodile Farm. Happy exploring.
ANNAMALAI WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
Just 90 kms from Coimbatore, this sanctuary is situated at an altitude of 1,400 metres in the Western Ghats, near Pollachi. Spread over 958 sq. kms, it has various kinds of exotic species like elephants, gaurs, tigers, panthers, sloth bear, pangolins, black headed orioles, green pigeons and civet cats. The Amaravathy reservoir in the Annamalai range has a large number of crocodiles. There are also many places of scenic beauty such as Karain Shola, Anaikunthi shola, Grass hills, waterfalls, groves, teak forests, estates, dams and reservoirs. Arrangements are available at Topslip to take tourists around the sanctuary on elephant back or by van.
ARULMIGU EACHANARI VINAYAGAR Located 10 kms from Coimbatore on Pollachi Road, it is one of the oldest temples in Coimbatore and dates back to 1500 AD. The Moolavar was meant for Perur Patteshwarar temple and since it got stuck on its way from Madurai, Eachanari became the blessed place. The deity’s height is 6 feet and the width is 3 feet. It is one of the biggest in South India. ARULMIGU POONDI VELLIYANGIRIANDAVAR THIRUKOIL – POONDI Velliyangiri is a beautiful temple situated in one amongst the five hills of historical importance, just 20 kms from Kovai. The five hills symbolically represent the five different faces of Lord Shiva. This is the only temple where Panchalinga can be seen.
the name was changed to Agricultural College, which later became Agricultural University. It is 5 km from the railway station. Tel: 661-1268. Timing: 9am-5pm. CROCODILE FARM This is located in Amaravathi Dam which is 25 kms from Udumalpet. This place is at present being developed as a District Excursion centre. AVINASHI TEMPLE
AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY
One of the best institutions of its kind in south Asia, the Agricultural University was originally established as an agriculture farm in Saidapet, Chennai. The location was moved to Coimbatore in 1907 and COIMBATORE
This temple is 40 km from Coimbatore and is known as a pilgrim city and ‘the Banaras of the South’. The Cholas built the Avanashilingeswarar temple during the 12th century. It is the biggest temple of the district and the minute and well-shaped carvings and sculptures are a joy to watch. 2022 | MAY | 25
CITY SIGHTS AYYAPPAN TEMPLE The holy Ayyappan temple is revered by both the locals and tourists alike. The magnificent temple was constructed in 1976 by the Sri Dharma Sastha Baktha Jana Sabha. It bears striking resemblance to the Ayyappan temple in Sabarimala. CSI ALL SOULS’ CHURCH
The CSI All Souls church is 138 years old and one of the oldest buildings in Coimbatore. This structure reflects the gothic revival style of architecture with its pointed arches and is characteristic of an Anglican Parish. The building was consecrated for worship on NOVEMBER27, 1872 by Bishop Gell. Reverend Henry Pope was the first resident Chaplin. The walls are of Ashlar masonry and the steeple houses the belfry. A Porch was added at the western end in 1902 in memory of King Edward VII. The windows are of exquisite stained glass and the church is a unique example of a British church built with materials of the region. DHYANALINGA The Dhyanalinga Multi-Religious Temple is situated at Vellingiri foothills about 30kms from Coimbatore. Dhyanalinga was consecrated by mystic and yogi Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev after three years of ‘prana prathista’ (process of charging the idol). Measuring 13 feet, 9 inches, Dhyanalingam is assumed to be the largest mercury-based live linga in the world. In its presence, it requires only minutes to make even those unaware of meditation to
experience a state of deep meditative trance and feel the divine energy that overflows from this glorious form. The free-spanning dome that enshrines the Dhyanalingam measures 77 inches diameter and is the largest of its kind in the world. It is said that this divine instrument radiates seven different qualities on seven different days of the week by which one can derive various benefits. FLOWER MARKET
Coimbatore’s art of garland-making and its garland makers hold a special place in south India. The art has grown to such prominence that it has fuelled a dedicated flower market. The fragrance of lilies, jasmines, roses, lotuses and native flowers like shenbagam are a treat to the factory senses. One can spend hours watching the nimble movement of the flower artists as they tread wreaths, hair adornments and garlands. FOREST COLLEGE MUSEUM Spread over 66 hectares, the Southern forest ranger’s college is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the country. Situated 3.5 kms from the Coimbatore Railway Station, it is worth a visit to see Museum of Natural History which is housed within the College campus. The museum and the neighbouring Botanical Garden have nearly 300 species of rare and endangered plants. Apart from plants, the museum also has an interesting collection of different minerals, rocks, pests, snakes, insects and fungal diseases that afflict plants and trees.
KALA GRAM 4/1, Attukal Road, Raj Bhavan,Thondamuthur Coimbatore Tel: 98420-14569
Raviraj began work on this new centre of fine arts in 2012. Situated at the foothills of the mountains, students get to learn the arts in the lap of nature. Over here, you can buy art pieces, learn the fine arts and hold cultural performances. With a nominal entry fee, it’s affordable to all. The promoters intend to create professional artistes. The idea is to recreate a Gurukul-style of learning atmosphere with residential facilities. This will lead to a better interaction between the students and teachers. There will be no exam, but the students will be continuously assessed. They will also get a chance to interact with the students of Lalit kalakshetra alongside. The promoters intend to fund the course fees and provide free accommodation for deserving students. And that will be after a three-month assessment by the teachers. COIMBATORE

The greatest attraction is the ‘Kanaka Saba’ or the golden hall which is adorned by a gold-plated statue of Nataraja bestowing blessings upon the two sages - Gowmuni and Pattimuni. The gopurams and pillars of the hall are exquisitely carved out sculptures highlighting Dravidian architecture.

oodies in Coimbatore are known to travel long distances, if only to sample the best rasamrice or biryani in town. Adding to their sense of adventure is that they don’t have to leave the city to sample the world’s kitchens, be it Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Italian, American or Pan-Asian. But the best food in Kovai is the local finger-licking good South Indian fare: idlis, dosas, utthappam, rice, sambar, rasam and yoghurt either served on a sparkling stainless-steel plate or a banana leaf. And the must-have Madras Filter Coffee which is the best concoction to fill you with vigour and vivre! There is lots more of typical dishes to be savoured... payasam, kootu, koozh, puttu... go on this culinary journey of joy!

SCENIC BEAUTY, COOL CLIMES, QUEEN OF THE HILLS BOTANICAL GARDENS, PARKS, PLANTATIONS & MORE...
L
ush green mountains and plantations abound in Ooty. Spread over 36 sq km, it’s 7350 feet above sea level. Vast plantations of eucalyptus, pine and wattle stretch between the few untouched meadows that remain of the preBritish Ooty. It’s the perfect destination to get away from it all in the lap of nature’s bounty and serenity. Here is where you can rewind, reboot, and restart your life every season. With temperatures relatively consistent throughout the year, it’s the best summer retreat for anyone wanting to beat the summer heat. Sightsee, relax, chill…
LANDMARKS & MONUMENTS COONOOR
At a slightly lower altitude (2000 metres), this is the second largest hill station in the Nilgiri Hills and is a small tea garden town where the weather remains pleasantly cool throughout the year. The place is perfect for trekking and picnicking, with grassy spots and spectacular views. It is famous for bird watching and birds such as vultures, eagles, owls, bulbuls, thrushes, bablers, larks, cuckoos and robins. KANDAL CROSS SHRINE
A Roman Catholic Shrine, this is considered the Jerusalem of the East. Catholics consider the shrine as the ‘Calvary of Tamil Nadu’. Special Novena Prayers and Holy Masses are offered every Friday. The annual feast is held on 3rd MAY. NILGIRIS LIBRARY It is a treasure trove of precious documents, biographies and old books, many of them rare volumes on travel and Ooty. The library was begun as a public reading room and later built up as it stands today, in 1868. Today, it is run by a private committee. OOTY CLUB This club offers entertainment as well as information. It has a collection of albums of yellowing photographs, newspaper clippings and hand-drawn cards, among other things. The club building was originally the mansion of Sir William Rumbold, a wealthy businessman from Hyderabad, who built it in the 1820s. Regal, imposing and exclusive, the club is still maintained as it was in British time. The club is for members and their guests only.
COIMBATORE
STONE HOUSE This is the first bungalow to be built in town, which was the residence of John Sullivan, the founder of Ooty and at that time, the collector of Coimbatore. The tribals gave it its name – ‘Kal Bangla’ meaning Stone House. ST STEPHEN’S CHURCH AND GRAVEYARD This Protestant Church was Ooty’s first Church. One of the few remaining examples of original Anglican architecture in Ooty, it’s a Gothic, castle like structure, reminiscent of English village Churches. Adjoining the church is an old English cemetery. THE MUSEUM Opened in NOVEMBER1989, this museum has a collection of objects unique to the district, including timber, insects, butterflies, rocks, wood carvings, Kurinji flower, stone sculptures, bronze works, models of Toda hut and coins.
PARKS & GARDENS BOTANICAL GARDEN The gardens were established in 1847 by the Marquis of Tweeddale and now maintained by the Agricultural Department of the Tamil Nadu government. From MAY-MAY, an Annual Flower Show is held by the Nilgiris Agro-Horticultural Society and the Dog Show of the South India Kennel Club. A few minutes’ climb up from the garden is Toda Mund – ‘Othak-kal-manthu’ (one stone village) – from which Ooty (Ootacamund) derived its name. Adjacent to the garden is Raj Bhavan used by governors when they are on tour. OOTY LAKE
This small artificial lake was conceived in 1824 by John Sullivan as an irrigation tank. Hardly 4 sq. km in area, the lake is much frequented by picnickers. Row boats, paddle boats and motor boats are available for hire. The boat house also has a restaurant and a children’s garden. CENTENARY ROSE GARDEN This rose garden was established at Vijayanagaram in Ooty, covering four hectares in five terraces, to commemorate the centenary Flower Festival in NOVEMBER1995. It is situated on the lower slopes of the Elk Hill on the North-Western side, facing Ooty town. There are about 2150 varieties of roses in the Rose Garden, one of the largest such collections in India. 2022 | MAY | 49
DESTINATION OOTY SIGHTSEEING LAMB’S ROCK (8 KM)
GUDALAR ( 50 KM FROM OOTY) Located on the road leading to Mysore, Gudalur is the gateway to the Nilgiris from Kerala and Karnataka. The Mudumalai sanctuary is located around 16 km from here. The prime attractions are Frog Hill view point (14km) , Needle point rock view (12 km), Numbalkottah (8km), Nellakotta (15km), hanging bridge (14km), Nelliyalayam (20km) and Cherambadi (35km). STANLEY PARK (3 KM) A popular camping ground for scouts and guides, it has a rest house and protected water supply.
A sheer precipice several hundred metres high, Lamb’s Rock is on a motorable road that leads to Lady Canning’s Seat (10 km), named after the wife of a British Viceroy. Dolphin’s Nose and the Droog are two other excellent heights, 10 and 15 km from Coonoor respectively to view the plains. They are also good picnic spots, with the former made attractive by a view of Catherine Falls and the latter by a still remaining ruins of an old fort built by Mysore ruler Tippu Sultan.
POMOLOGICAL STATION This experimental fruit garden, one of the three in the Nilgiris, sprawls over 16 acres at a height of about 1,900 metres above sea level. It was established in 1920, along with the other stations at Burhar and Kullar on the Coonoor – Mettupalayam Ghat Road. These stations are maintained by the Tamil Nadu Horticultural Department. WELLINGTON (5 KM)
PASTEUR INSTITUTE
This British cantonment was developed in 1852. It has the country’s only Defence Services Staff College, an institution rich in Indian military, especially modern tradition. Wellington is also the headquarters of the Madras Regimental Centre of the Indian Army, which is the oldest regiment in the Indian Army. This Institute was established in 1907 to research rabies and treat victims of the disease. Among other projects undertaken by the institute ,the most note worthy is the manufacture of the polio vaccine. SIM’S PARK Founded by JD Sim, a Secretary to the Madras Government in the mid-19th century as an amusement park, it has now evolved into a botanical garden with well-laid out terraces with rare flowers and shrubs. It contains several species of trees and shrubs that cannot be grown in the colder climate of Ooty. ARUVANKADU The Cordite Factory of the Government of India, which supplies ammunition for the country’s defence purposes, is located here. It was started in 1904. COIMBATORE
ST CATHERINE FALLS (8 KM) AND ELK FALLS (7 KM) are among the most beautiful cascades of the Nilgiris. From the Kodanad viewpoint (16 km), an all encompassing view of Coimbatore, Mysore, and Kerala can be seen, as well as the eastern slopes of the Nilgiris. The other major attractions here are the Rangaswamy pillar and peak: the former, a conical peak, 1,785 m high and considered sacred by the hill tribes of the plateau; the latter, an unusual isolated rock formation with precipitous sides. SILKWORM REARING STATION Adjoining the Pasteur Institute is this research establishment of the Central Silk Board. It also renders expert guidance and special assistance to young entrepreneurs and others who approach them for advice on silkworm rearing. 2022 | MAY | 50
