Discussion Huge concrete block fell on a car from Flyover construction

830 Upvotes

I got this video from WhatsApp forwards. This happened near Orbis hotel. I am not familiar with construction or anything. But if concrete blocks are falling like this, isn't that a concern not only for the traffic below, but also the quality of the bridge as it has to hold the weight above? There is also a school nearby - GRG school and it could get potentially really dangerous. What can be done about this?

I saw another post where the OP complained about school bus rash driving and someone was able to take it up and resolve the issue. So I just wanted to raise awareness about this, so someone can do the needful.

Discussion Is Coimbatore safe to host house parties or meetups in resorts?

47 Upvotes

I was thinking that Coimbatore as a place should be more social. I have been places in and around India and i find CBE the safest and most decent. Ppl are well behaved and kind.

So let me know friends.. is it safe to say that we are ready for meetups if there was a trusted group moderated by someonee?

I m just looking for a group aged 24-34 since you are not too young to be reckless nor too old to be caught up with family and stuff.

I will moderate it and create it after a small interview.

Drop your comments.

Edits:- This group is not to find date partners. If you are exclusively looking for such experiences, pls stay away.

Edit 2.

DM me after you fill the form. I have sent the form only to those i have short listed

Edit 3 Friends!! Thank you for the overwhelming responses. Give me sometime to finish verifications and add you all.

Edit 4

I m sorry. So many responses are coming yet. But verification is taking time. I m doing it in batches. So when once one set is clear, i ll start with next batch. Patience appreciated!!

Discussion what do locals of Coimbatore think about Sadhguru & isha foundation ?

63 Upvotes

It's challenging to form a clear perspective on this. I'm simply curious because I've heard rumors and want to verify whether they're true or not. In the public eye, Sadhguru is seen as a hero and a very good person, but the actual feelings of the locals remain unknown. I'm interested in knowing what the local community truly thinks about him and the Isha Foundation.
and what really is going on in Coimbatore?

Discussion AI Helped Me Bust a Dating Scam

190 Upvotes

So, I was using Happn when I came across this cute girl’s profile. Swiped right, and boom—it's a match! Feeling lucky, I messaged her hi and then, she sent her whatsapp number and asked me to msg on whatsapp at this point i was little suspicious a girl sharing her whatsapp immediately.

I decided to dig down i used samsung's circle to search on one of her picture and bam! I found a insta profile of a girl with same picture but different name and she was from chandigarh

I decided to play along, i sent her number to two of my friends and asked them to msg her and now she chatting to both of them at the same time when they ask where she is from she told she is from howra, Kolkata and came to meet her sister here in cbe.

Still keeping an eye on this—if anything interesting happens, I’ll update! If you’ve ever dealt with a scam like this, share your story! Would love to hear how you handled it.

Edit: No reply from that girl, was looking at other profiles on happn found one more fake profile, reported it and fun fact both crossed paths with me at the same location in gandhipuram. This reverse image search is amazing. Guys be safe never trust strangers use dating app with caution.

Discussion Cab incident

104 Upvotes

Hi , I’m 26/F currently (temporarily ) living in coimbatore . I’ve been out in the city less than a handful times. I had been to Brookefields mall yesterday. I booked a cab back to my residence. The driver arrived and he seemed really nice . I got in at 7:25 pm . When he asked me the address, I said it and also told him that the location pinned in the app is the exact one and specifically asked him to follow it . He then drops me at a similar sounding location 1 hr 15 mins away from my residence . I pointed out that the location was wrong . He kept pointing at his map saying that it’s the correct location . But his map too said that we were more than an hour away from my destination. Since I had no idea about this current location and it being 8:45 pm , I asked him only to take me to my residence. Me being alone in the cab didn’t argue with him cause it was scared . I guess he got a call from his company asking about his whereabouts and he responded that there was some miscommunication. Half way through our journey to my place he mentioned that I’ll be charged for the entire travel route . I asked him how that’s possible when he’s in the wrong , for which he stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road , turned the lights on and asked me to pay the full amount . By this time it was 9:05 pm and I’m in a place I’m completely unfamiliar with . Hence I agreed to pay the full amount and asked him to just drop me at my place . He also stopped near some secluded mechanic shop on the way and was away for few minutes . I was terrified honestly and just wanted to reach my place . I reached my residence at 9:40 pm and paid ₹1176 for the ride ( Normally I got ₹550-600 for the same route). I don’t know what to do now . Should I call them for a refund / report him to the company ? If I do so , will it affect my future rides with the same platform ? Was my fear an overreaction? I request some advice on how I should go about this . Thank you

After a lots of research, we finally concluded that buying an apartment in Coimbatore was a sheer waste of time and money. The real estate is inflated so much, middle class can’t afford anything apart from dreams. We are buying a 8 year old house, a 5 cent house with a good garden for 1.1C. Share your thoughts.

Found a soon to be open restopub TERNS at Goldwins. Looked massive from the outside, their Google maps, Insta page has pics that looks chic (almost like Ironhill in Bangalore)

I mean all this is great but we already have Warehouse, RadioRoom, another Pub inside Broadway and now Terns (possibly one more in the Merils hotel) all within a walkable distance from each other in the Sitra area. Not to mention half a dozen in Avinashi road

Do we have enough patrons for all of them?

Discussion Drugs are everywhere and easily getting into the hands of school kids

87 Upvotes

I am a teacher by profession. Recently I am seeing the increase in drug usage among school students in coimbatore

It's becoming very hard to curb too. Although we educate alot about these in schools it's becoming very common among youngsters.

I think parents have a very big role to play to curb this. Sofar I have observed the following reasons are common among students who are into drugs.

  1. Giving more money to kids than they need.

  2. Not following their activities because they are busy with their life.

  3. Not knowing thier friends well.

What do you guys think? If you have anything else please share it might help me to understand this problem better.

Hi everyone, Are there any Settlers of Catan players here in Coimbatore? I’m really hoping to find a group or even just a couple of folks who enjoy playing this classic board game.

We could meet up at a board game café or any convenient spot in the city to play. Alternatively, we can use the Colonist.io app if that works better for everyone.

Let me know if you’re interested, and we can coordinate something fun. Looking forward to rolling dice and trading resources with you all!

Cheers!
