Our city is getting hotter with every passing year. As temperatures soared yesterday, the Karnataka Government advised citizens to turn into camels: “Drink sufficient water whenever possible, even if you are NOT thirsty.” But where is the water to drink when our cities are as dry as a desert? Instead of just issuing some orders…
In view of the severe water scarcity staring us in the face, this summer, specially in Bengaluru, a city of 1,50,00,000 population and of huge industrial hub, water management experts have come up with many suggestions similar to band-aid to a broken limb. Some such quick-fix (is it really?) suggestions are: 1. Tapping the lakes….
One of the familiar names among the politicians, especially Congress politicians, in our city since early 1980s was that of Vasu. Simply Vasu, without any initials, any prefix or suffix to his name. As a politician, he rose to become a Corporator and then the Mayor of the city during 1989-90 and also an MLA…

At long last, the BJP has announced its candidate. Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the BJP’s choice of a royal candidate, has ignited a flurry of reactions in the Mysuru-Kodagu region.

With the 2024 Parliamentary election at the threshold of polling booths, the country is all set to see a new government, or a government in new garbs or possibly the old wine in a new bottle. Selection of candidates from different political parties is going on in an atmosphere of turmoil, suspense, surprise and disappointment…
The BJP ticket for the Mysuru-Kodagu Parliamentary election 2024 has gone to Mr. Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the adopted son of Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar of the Mysore Royal Family. 2. The BJP voters, specially the RSS-Modi fans and supporters, were expecting the incumbent MP Prathap Simha to do the hat-trick by getting the ticket for…

That was the mistake post-independent India’s first Congress government made when it decided to write the history of India. It chose mostly Leftist and Vote-Bank historians out to discredit the Indian (Hindu)…
This morning, sources in New Delhi told Star of Mysore that Mysuru-Kodagu MP Prathap Simha’s chances of getting a ticket for the 2024 Lok Sabha election are 50/50. This reminds me of the saying: ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ Our MP is working. So why the change? Is it because of senior State…
Summer is here and water woes are set to begin as water levels in KRS and Kabini Reservoirs are steadily diminishing. But not to worry, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is prepared like it always is with, unfortunately, a temporary solution. But when will we get a permanent solution? The MCC, realising that the KRS…
