By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD We Mysureans take a great deal of pride in the beauty and the rich heritage of our city, much of which has been very carefully hand-crafted by a very far-sighted royalty. Almost anything and everything we see here in Namma Mysuru is unique and markedly different from what we…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD On Friday I read with much interest and happiness the interview that SOM had published with Dr. H. M.

By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started wreaking havoc on people’s lives, much is being said about the services of many agencies like the doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, para-medical staff, Police personnel, Health Department staff and the humble civic service workers.
