[Kishore Chandran @tweetKishorec]

Coimbatore quietly builds ₹45,000 crore of real manufacturing value… while the world chases startup headlines, valuations, and hype.

25,000+ factories. No noise. Just work.

THE MANUFACTURING EMPIRE

🔸50,000+ engineering units powering industries

🔸40% of India’s pumps & motors made here

🔸700+ foundry units supplying across the country

🔸700+ wet grinder manufacturers (GI-tag legacy)

Key strengths:

🔸Textile machinery – global players like Lakshmi Machine Works

🔸Auto components – suppliers to Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors

🔸Industrial equipment – compressors, CNC machines, precision tools

Per capita GDP: ₹5.82 lakh — higher than many metros.

WHY IT WORKS

🔸No drama. Just business.
Family-run enterprises. 2nd & 3rd generation builders.

🔸No unicorn buzz — only profitability.

Ecosystem strength:

🔸50,000 MSMEs supporting each other
🔸15-minute supply chains, not 15-day imports

Engineering culture:

🔸Talent pipelines from institutions like PSG College of Technology

🔸Manufacturing is a mindset here, not a trend

Cost advantage:

🔸~40% lower than Mumbai/Bangalore with skilled labor availability

THE BORING TRUTH (THAT ACTUALLY BUILDS WEALTH)

What Coimbatore doesn’t have:

No startup hype. No pitch decks. No “10X growth” influencers.

What it does have:

🔸30+ years of consistent profits
🔸Order books filled months in advance
🔸Employees who stay for decades

Real companies. Real scale:

🔸Texmo Industries – since 1956, still growing
🔸CRI Pumps – 10M+ pumps installed globally
🔸Lakshmi Machine Works – industry leader

No exit strategy.

Just generational wealth.

THE INDIA NOBODY TALKS ABOUT
Bengaluru has unicorns (many still loss-making)

Coimbatore has thousands of profitable companies

This is the real engine of India:

🔸 Pumps for agriculture
🔸Auto parts for the nation
🔸Machines for global textiles

THE PHILOSOPHY

Build something real.
Sell it.
Make profit.
Repeat.
No funding rounds.
No valuations.
No drama.

India doesn’t just need unicorns.
It needs 1,000 Coimbatores.

Every night, Anke Gowda chose books over rest.

Once a bus conductor, later a timekeeper at the Pandavapur Cooperative Sugar Factory, Gowda spent nearly 30 years working while quietly building a dream.

After long days as a bus conductor, he’d search for what others had left behind—old textbooks, torn novels, discarded dictionaries.

Over decades, that quiet habit grew into Pustak Mane—the world’s largest free-access library with 2M+ books in 20 languages, rare manuscripts, documents from the Mysore dynasty, and newspapers dating back to the 1800s.

No entry fee. No ID cards. No questions asked. Just shelves of knowledge, open to anyone who walks in—students, researchers, writers, civil service aspirants, even judges.

“Books are my breath. It is my duty to preserve them for the next generation,” Gowda says.

Nearly 80% of his salary, his retirement pension of ₹40–45 lakh, and even his house and plots in Mysuru—all of it went into building the library.

Today, at 75, he doesn’t just run the library—he lives inside it with his wife. Because for him, books were never a hobby. They were a responsibility.

This Republic Day, India honoured him with the Padma Shri.

Impact doesn’t always begin with a big idea. Sometimes, it begins with loving one small thing deeply and choosing it, every single day.

[Comman Man @CommanMan777589]

A MUST. MUST READ.
1942.

Rangoon.

While most Indians remember freedom through textbooks, one 15-year-old girl lived it through sacrifice.

Her name was Saraswati Rajamani.

Born into obscene wealth.
A mansion. Silk dresses. Diamonds. Cars.
Her father owned a gold mine.

But destiny didn’t want her to live behind curtains.
It wanted her in shadows.

That day, Rangoon shook.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose stood before the crowd and thundered:

“Give me blood, and I will give you freedom.”

Something ignited inside that teenage girl.

She didn’t clap.
She didn’t cheer.

She removed every ornament from her body — necklace, bangles, earrings — and donated them to the Azad Hind Fauj. On the spot.

The next morning, an army jeep stopped outside her mansion.
Netaji himself stepped out.

He came to return the jewellery.
He thought it was emotion. Impulse. Youth.

Rajamani looked him straight in the eye and said:

“Netaji, I did not give it by mistake.
I gave it to my country.
And I never take back what I give.”

Netaji saw it instantly.
Not a girl.
Steel.

He renamed her “Saraswati.”
And said:

“I don’t want you with a gun.
Your task will be harder.”

Her long hair was cut.
Loose clothes replaced silk.
Saraswati Rajamani became “Mani.”

Her mission: espionage.

At 16, the girl who slept on cushioned beds worked inside British military mess halls, disguised as a boy.
Polishing boots.
Serving tea.
Sweeping floors.

The British officers laughed freely, confident these “local boys” understood nothing.

Right in front of them, they planned bombings.
Supply routes.
INA movements.

Mani listened.
Memorised.
Recorded everything in her mind.

Later, she scribbled notes in washrooms, hid them in shoes and bread, and smuggled intelligence to Netaji.

Day after day.
One mistake away from death.

Then the nightmare struck.

Her partner Durga was captured.

INA’s rule was brutal but clear:
Never be taken alive.

Everyone told Mani to flee.

She refused.

“My friend is captured.
I won’t run.”

At night, disguised again, she entered the British prison.
Drugged the guards.
Stole the keys.
Freed Durga.

As they escaped, alarms screamed.
Searchlights cut through darkness.
Shots rang out.

Mani was hit in the leg.

She didn’t stop.

Stopping meant death.

They vanished into the forest.
Hunted by soldiers and dogs.

They survived by climbing a tree and hiding there for three days — wounded, feverish, silent — while British patrols searched below.

Eventually, they escaped.

Back at INA camp, Mani collapsed.

As doctors removed the bullet, Netaji saluted the teenager and said:

“I didn’t know our army hid such explosives.
You are India’s first woman spy.
You are my Rani of Jhansi.”

He wanted to gift her his pistol.

She wanted only one thing:
Freedom.

India became free in 1947.

And then India forgot her.

No chapter.
No spotlight.
No gratitude.

The girl who gave her youth, blood, and family wealth lived her final years in a small rented room in Chennai.
Her pension delayed.
Her life ignored.

Yet she never complained.

During the 2004 tsunami, when people begged for aid, this old woman — who struggled for her own medicines — donated her savings for relief.

When asked why, she smiled:

“Giving is in my blood.”

In 2018, at 91, Saraswati Rajamani passed away quietly.

No national mourning.
No breaking news.
No outrage.

But remember this:

Free India stands on the courage of a 15-year-old girl who chose the nation over comfort, silence over safety, and sacrifice over recognition.

Her name was Saraswati Rajamani.

History forgot her.
We must not.

The Netherlands has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first country in the world to completely eliminate stray dogs without euthanasia. The government implemented strict animal welfare laws, mandatory pet registration, heavy fines for abandonment, and nationwide sterilisation drives. Shelters worked closely with rescue teams to ensure every stray dog was rehabilitated and placed in a loving home. Public awareness campaigns encouraged adoption over buying, helping transform the country’s approach to animal care. This compassionate, coordinated effort resulted in every dog finding a safe, permanent home — setting a global benchmark for humane animal welfare.

Who says Indie dogs are not cute, adorable, and playful?

Just look at this innocent sweet soul full of love, joy, and innocence. These dogs have hearts as big as the sky and deserve a fair chance at adoption.

Indies are not just pets, they are loyal companions, intelligent friends, natural emotional healers, and guardians who ask for nothing but love in return. They are low-maintenance, resilient, and blessed with strong immunity perfectly suited for our climate and lifestyle.

Yet, in our obsession with foreign breeds, these beautiful souls are abandoned, ignored, and left to struggle on the streets. It is heartbreaking because all they really want is a home and someone to call their own.

If each one of us chose to adopt even a single Indie, imagine how many lives would be saved. Not only would countless dogs find families, but human-animal conflicts on our streets would also reduce drastically.

These dogs do not ask for luxuries — just love, kindness, and a little space in our homes and hearts. Give them that chance, and they will give you back a lifetime of unconditional love.

💛 Adopt an Indie. Save a life. Find a friend forever.

If You Feed Street Dogs – Follow These Steps
1.Inform the Municipal Authority-
> Write a simple letter/email to your Municipal Authority asking them to fix designated feeding spots in your area.
> Keep a copy of the letter with you.

2.Choose Safe Spots
> Pick places away from children’s play areas, footpaths, or busy roads.

3.Feed Till Spots are Fixed
> Continue feeding in safe spots until the Authority officially marks the feeding area.

4.Multiple Spots May Be Needed
> The Supreme Court has said feeding points should be based on the number of dogs.
> This means there can be more than one spot, so dogs do not gather in large numbers and fight.

5.If Someone Stops You
> Show them the copy of your letter to the Municipal Authority.
> Request them to also write to the Authority to indicate the feeding spots soon.
> Till then, the dogs cannot go hungry, hence continue to feed.
> You may be fined for littering under the Municipal Corporation Act, if you feed outside the feeding spots.

6.Keep the Rules With You
> Carry a copy of Rule 20 of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules.

https://t.co/beJVmdipsq Polite and Respectful
> Care for animals with kindness, but also respect people around you.

https://t.co/HCcgr2A4Wl Violence Immediately
> If anyone hurts or threatens you for feeding dogs, report it to the police.

Old clothes stitched a new narrative at Besant Nagar Beach in Chennai, where citizens brought old garments and watched them transformed into reusable cloth bags under our Manjapai initiative against Single Use plastic. Organised by TNPCB, around 200 kgs of old clothes were collected and repurposed. Did you know the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes is burned or dumped in a landfill every second (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017) and approximately 60% of all materials used by the fashion industry are made from plastic (UNEP, 2019). Seriously 😟
