Oh well.

Probably you know and have mentioned in one of your essays, the achievment of Coimbatore I admire is that this once water starved city managed to channel runoff water from the “ghats” to a reservoir so much so it is a rare city in Tamil Nadu that does not have water problem (at least when I knew of it).
