CBE Feb'23

On the hot seat in Kovai

Coimbatore has a new Collector.

The 2015 TN Cadre IAS Officer, Kranthi Kumar Pati has taken charge as the 183rd District Collector of Coimbatore, succeeding GS Sameeran.

Mr Pati, a qualified Charted Accountant, is a native of Maharashtra and has worked as Commissioner of Tiruppur City Municipal Corporation before assuming office of District Collector of Coimbatore.

Any change is a breath of fresh air in the existing status quo, and an opportunity to bring a new perspective to find solutions to long term issues.

Highlighting this aspect, as also on instruction by TN Chief Minister MK Stalin, Mr Pati has resolved to focus on implementing the various welfare schemes of the government to the public.

He has also announced his intention to ensure inter-departmental coordination to redress public grievances at the earliest.

A shout out to the new guard and may the forces be with him, so Coimbatore can flourish further under his watch.

Drape yourself in the most exclusive hand-picked Shresht sarees and apparel

By Smiti Jain Narayan

Walk into the exclusive saree and Indian apparel store Shresht, conveniently located in the upmarket RS Puram, where every item is hand-picked and sourced from the best regions of India.

Tracing the roots of Shresht, it was started by Bastimalji Mehta, the grandfather of the current generation of the family, who made the momentous move from Rajasthan to Coimbatore in 1936, and worked for four years before starting his own company in 1940 under the name Sha Nagraj Chandanmal for the wholesale of handloom sarees.

In 1964 his son, Vimalchand Mehta joined him and continued the wholesale trade of sarees.

Subsequently the current owners who are now the third generation of this illustrious family business, came on board and continued the family business until 2009, after which they branched out into retail.

2009 was a turning point in the graph of the company, as they ventured into the retail segment under the banner of Shresht for selling the entire range of different sarees from across the country’s various regions.

Shresht specialises in the most exclusive and selectively sourced and manufactured sarees across the spectrum including silks of all varieties, as well as ready-to-wear apparels including salwar-suits, ghaghras, gowns, lehengas, kurtis and more. There are also semistitched and unstitched material sets available.

Beautiful, hand-picked sarees await at Shresht in all types including bandhni, kalamkari, pichwai, Banarasi of different varieties, Kanchipurams, soft silks, uppada, patola, tussars, organza, even cottons, and lots of exquisite designer sarees with a vast collection to choose from. Each and every saree at Shresht is an exclusive piece that is sure to be a head-turner and a stand-out-inthe-crowd, enchanting creation.

It is the complete women’s upmarket store that spells class and elegance for those with an exclusive taste in a wide range of casuals, occasion-wear, wedding wear and formals in the premium Indian apparel segment.

A GASTRONOME’S DELIGHT

Indian, Pan-Asian, Mexican, Continental, Italian, Fusion…

Foodies

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 musthave 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...

Lush

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 pre-British 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

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

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.

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

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.

The gardens were established in 1847 by the Marquis of Tweeddale and now maintained by the Agricultural Department of the Tamil Nadu government. From AUGUST-AUGUST, an Annual Flower Show is held by the Nilgiris AgroHorticultural Society and the Dog Show of the South India Kennel Club. A few minutes’ climb up from the garden is Toda Mund – ‘Othak-kalman-thu’ (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 NorthWestern side, facing Ooty town. There are about 2150 varieties of roses in the Rose Garden, one of the largest such collections in India.

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.

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.

WEIGHT LOSS & YOU

Find holistic healing and weight management through physiotherapy at Perfect Bounce

By Smiti Jain Narayan

A persistent myth about physiotherapy is that it can only help in troubles like physical injury, stiff neck or leg pain. However, physiotherapy can actually heal you holistically and even manage weight loss. Yes, you read that right – physiotherapy can play a vital role in weight management.

Introducing Hi-Lipo Detox, Cavitation and Contour – advanced stand-alone slimming device for body contouring, anti-aging and stress relief. The device uses revolutionary technologies to rejuvenate complete body, mind and soul. It is a non-surgical device that effectively helps body shaping and mind relaxation.

• Hi-Lipo Detox

Deep Heat and Vacuum Therapy Combo

Detoxification through the combination of vacuum and heat therapy burns fat and removes toxins. Hi-Lipo Detox combo, with a smart, sturdy, lightweight ABS constructed body, is one of the most advanced and convenient infra-red deep heat therapy and vacuum therapy system.

Deep Heat Therapy

Deep Heat therapy can create heat 2 inches or more below the skin surface by 60ºC, increasing the inter molecular temperature of fat cells which further results in breakdown of the bindings between tissues and muscles, resulting in loosening of fat cells to facilitate slimming.

Vacuum Therapy

Vacuum simulates the manual cupping movement of massage which helps to mobilise and break down the excessive, accumulated stubborn adipose tissues. It improves body metabolism and increases blood supply, when combined with heat therapy it removes toxins and waste materials through lymphatic drainage.

• Hi-Lipo Cavi

40 KHz Ultrasonic Cavitation Therapy for Cellulite Reduction

Hi-Lipo Cavi is one of the most advance and efficient systems using low-frequency 40 KHz ultrasound for easy, painless and nonsurgical reduction of localised subcutaneous unwanted fat from the problem areas and treatment of cellulite.

Hi-Lipo Cavi works by selectively targeting unwanted fat cells in specific problem areas in the adipose tissue.

The treatment lasts about 30 minutes, it is totally painless and with no known side effects. In most cases the result can be seen immediately and depending on individual clients, most will need between 3-7 treatments with intervals of 7-10 days. Hi-Lipo Cavi is the true alternative to surgical liposuction.

• Hi-Lipo Contour

Advance way to inch loss and muscle rehabilitation

Hi-Lipo Contour uses bio-electrical stimulation to strengthen and tone the muscles and promote endurance. Hi-Lipo Contour can bring you sustainable inch loss, increased muscle definition, better posture and balance. It mimics the body’s natural bio-electricity to work out muscles in a much more safe and effective manner than a traditional workout.

FDA-cleared Hi-Lipo Contour exercises the muscles around the problem areas in a very powerful way, while you are lying down on a massage table. Hi-Lipo Contour’s treatments when combined with a diet plan and detox session, bring fast and long-lasting results.

The therapists at Perfect Bounce possess stringent training and expertise to help you heal fully and assist you in your weight loss journey most effectively.
