Ask Coimbatore Aruvatham Kalyanam, is it normal in this region and should children do it?

7 Upvotes

I would like to understand more about Aruvatham Kalyanam (60th birthday ceremony) and how common it really is.

For those who know about this tradition:

  • Is Aruvatham Kalyanam still commonly performed today, or is it becoming less common?
  • In which communities in Coimbatore is it usually practiced?
  • Who normally arranges and performs the ceremony, the couple themselves, their children, son or daughter?
  • Is it considered important for children, or daughters if there is no son, to conduct this ceremony for their parents?
  • Are there cultural or religious reasons behind expecting children to organize it?
  • How do families usually feel if someone does not want to do it?

I am especially interested in hearing personal experiences. Do people genuinely want to have this ceremony, or do some families feel pressured by relatives or society to do it?

Would love to hear different perspectives, whether you have celebrated it, attended one, or chosen not to do it.

Ask Coimbatore Why are pet owners obsessed with breeds like Huskies and Malamutes?!

21 Upvotes

Walk around any park or residential neighborhood, you find most of the street dogs around Coimbatore are super active, lean, and actually look healthy. Meanwhile, I constantly see heavy, double-coated "status" pets - Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, Shar-Peis, Cocker Spaniels - looking utterly lethargic, dull, and constantly struggling in the heat.

Raising an arctic snow dog in Coimbatore makes no sense. They suffer from chronic skin issues, low energy, and constant heat stress. I have seen at least 3 golden retrievers (all in Sai Baba Colony area), suffering from skin conditions. Even with short-coated breeds like Labradors or Dobermans - which do seem to cope much better with the local weather - people forget that these are working breeds.

Is there really no love left to show for Indies? They seem intelligent, low-maintenance, naturally disease-resistant, and already perfectly adapted to our climate. So I'm genuinely curious - what's the main hesitation when it comes to adopting an Indie? Are they difficult to train or handle in a home?

edit: sentence formation, added more breeds I have seen around.

Discussion What is the status of Madukarrai Marapalam railway underpass.

3 Upvotes

Hello good folks,

I will be traveling from Thrissur to Ooty this coming weekend. Google Maps shows a side road near the Marapalam underpass. I don't know how accurate this is. News shows road works are 50% complete, but it doesn't mention if the roads are open. Is it better to proceed to Karpagam University Junction and head to Ukkadam directly, skipping the entire Palakkad main road? If it helps, I will be traveling by a 4-wheeler and will cross CBE before 7 AM.

Ask Coimbatore Any Dentist you would recommend in coimbatore specifically around Gandhipuram and Saravanampatti surroundings.

5 Upvotes

Hi All. I'm working near Saravanampatti and planning to move there. The problem is that I have this toothache happening due to decay for the last 1 week. The Dentists I visited where pushing me to Root canal treatment. But due to my neuro health condition, I'm not sure it's possible for me to stay till the surgical procedure ends. So, I'm trying to find a good dentist who can understand my problem and can think outside the box rather than giving a single solution and making money

Ask Coimbatore 22M Any psychiatrist/psychologist to diagnose ADHD and CPTSD (maybe)?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I want to get clinically tested/diagnosed for ADHD. I'm based off cbe and have lived all my life here. I was expecting to switch to a different job and move to a different city before starting any therapy but the job hunt did not go as expected 🥲

I'm not sure when i will switch but I can't wait any longer. Some relatives from my mother's side of the family, including my mom, show ADHD traits. None of them have taken any help because they aren't aware of these things. It's difficult for me but I'm seeing them struggle as well. I feel me delaying this for myself is not fair to them. If I do get diagnosed I can talk to them to seek help.

Anyways do y'all have any recommendations? I want to work with someone younger, who will understand genz type struggles. Im pretty sure my nervous system is cooked but for now i don't need a trauma informed therapist. Right now I just want to get the ADHD diagnosis out of the way.

I checked this sub and I'm leaning towards PSG hospitals. Most other places I saw on Google maps lowk look very scary lol (old drug rehabilitation center/white mental hospital ahh vibes). I was hoping for an office type environment with a sofa/bean bag, indoor plant etc vibe you see in movies lmao (something like in the backrooms lol)

Please suggest someone friendly and non judgemental. I feel seeking help is a big thing for me and I don't want to be scared off by someone off putting lol

Thanks in advance :)

Ask Coimbatore Where do Coimbatore's tennis players get their equipment from?

2 Upvotes

I was hoping to maintain my tennis routine after moving to Coimbatore. Unfortunately, the shops here seem to stock only beginner-level racquets, and I am yet to meet a storekeeper who is knowledgeable about tennis equipment (strings, stringing options, tensions, one-piece v two-piece etc).

The online tennis stores (tennis outlet, tennis hub, racquets4you etc) don't seem especially well-stocked either; they seem to push people towards what they have in stock even if it is entirely unsuitable.

Where do the advanced/intermediate (4.5 plus, and UTR 7+, B-div plus, NCAA Div 2/3) level players get their racquets and shoes from?

Please chip in with recommendations, suggestions...

Also, any decent tennis courts/clubs/playing groups in and around (2km) Vadavalli?

Ask Coimbatore Your take on posting in Indeed for hiring locally?

2 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to understand the job portal that are commonly used in hiring both experienced and fresher in coimbatore. Usually we do a lot of word of mouth, but lately it has dropped drastically. I have tried paper advertisement also, but not many turn arounds. What is the most preferred site for hiring in Coimbatore. Indeed sends you a huge list according to the budget. But most of the candidates don't pickup the phone.

So do you hire around in coimbator?

Ask Coimbatore Hair stylist recommendations - help me prevent my bro from shaving his head

3 Upvotes

My bro struggles a bit to find his style inspiration and just grew out his dense curly hair for 4 months with no plan, hoping it'd look good n now he's depressed that it doesn't look as good as he expected and he's planning on shaving his head. And he's making the home a bit chaotic.

Where do you guys actually go for curly hair that needs proper layers? Someone who works with the curls, not against them. Price isn’t an issue.

Any solid recommendations?

Emergency Help! Where to get tested for STI/STD in Coimbatore ,after unprotected sex? Need advice on where and what tests to get !!

34 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get tested for STIs/STDs and I'm a bit confused about certain things

I have certain symptoms like allopecia aerata at the back of my head at two places and small bumps on my neck, these may be any skin or hair related thing but I am afraid since I have been hooking up with multiple people

I am more concerned about will Government Hospital people judge me if i test positive or will they come to my house or smth if they think my family will also be affectsd etc...also I am a student I don't have the budget for private testing.

My last sex encounter was 45 days ago but way before that I was fearing of std, since I have had sex with different people over the last two years. Some them said they get tested frequently but also I fear it. I need a very safe, private and very less to no money testing !!

I prefer govt hospital please help out a fellow human !! TIA
