By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Two days ago, on Friday evening, Mysureans had a rare chance to savour some of the finest pieces of Mirza Ghalib’s poetry and prose, intertwined with a mesmerising Ghazal and Kathak Dance concert, at the Kiru Rangamandira Auditorium, where the musical play titled ‘Zikr-E-Ghalib’ was staged. Being undoubtedly the…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD It is certainly a matter of pride that Mysuru has secured a distinction this year as the third cleanest city in the country, in its category. There is no reason why we should not be able to once again get to the first place, which we have held earlier…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The year was 2006 and I was one of the members of Anjuman-E-Hadiqatul Adab, then nearly a century-old small organisation, which with its handful of members, had always been working towards preserving and promoting culture, literature and communal harmony in our city. That was the year we Anjuman members…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Despite numerous suggestions and appeals and a few feeble protests too, from some very sensible and concerned individuals and groups, our State government seems hell-bent on creating a new bus stand for our city, in the now beautiful Bannimantap area. Yes, all protests in Namma Mysuru have always been…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD In a move which is perhaps the first-of-its-kind in our country, a Judge of the Allahabad High Court is on the verge of being impeached and the process of collecting the signatures of our legislators, necessary for the purpose, is already underway. This has been necessitated because of the…

Javeed Nayeem, MD The recent announcement by an international drug testing laboratory that many anti-cancer drugs of Indian origin have failed to clear quality tests by alarmingly wide margins, should come as an eye-opener to our authorities vested with the very crucial responsibility of the enforcement of drug quality control standards. The…
By Dr. K. Javed Nayeem, MD Some time ago, I had an occasion to write an article about how a petty thief who had stolen a pair of buffaloes and a calf in Karnataka, was nabbed far away in Maharashtra, a full fifty-seven years after he had committed the crime. The man, who had indulged…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The weekend that has just gone by, was a very nostalgic and emotional trip back in time for me, because it marked the passing of a full fifty years of the moment I joined medical college, to embark on my ten-year-long journey to becoming a doctor, with post-graduate qualifications….
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The trees in and around our city have been in the news, sadly for some very wrong and unhappy reasons, over the past one month. The tragic and very avoidable loss of some of them, has thankfully galvanised a few concerned Mysureans into thinking of not only just protecting…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Last week I wrote about how thoughtlessly our civic authorities have behaved in chopping down forty beautiful Yellow Shower trees on the Hyder Ali Road, under the lame pretext of a need to widen it. These are the same authorities vested with the almost sacred responsibility of safeguarding our…
