Reflecting on Hinduism as a Religion: A good read

January 2, 2021

Sir, I am a regular reader of SOM and look forward to reading K.B. Ganapathy’s column. I particularly enjoy reading hitherto unknown stories of seemingly obvious legends, landmarks and artifacts in and around Mysuru. Though I am not from Mysuru per se, I have close connections in that city and consider Mysuru to be cultural…

Where and how to park vehicles?

January 1, 2021

Sir, Haphazard parking of vehicles, especially two-wheelers and four-wheelers, on city roads and in Highways has become a nuisance. It looks like vehicle users either do not have knowledge about the basic parking rules or do not want to follow it. We should not park vehicles in bus bays, close to bus stops, road corners,…

FasTag for 4-wheelers: Clarification needed

December 27, 2020

Sir, This is in support of the letter “Toll Plaza-free India: Why make FasTag Mandatory?” by Prof. B.S. Shankara in Star of Mysore dated Dec. 21. Most of the 4-wheeler users may not be using the Toll Plaza and will be using only within city limits. Or some of the 4-wheeler owners may only use…

No cash transaction at Toll Plazas: A suggestion

December 26, 2020

Sir, The Government has planned to eliminate cash transactions completely at Toll Plazas on Highways from Jan.1, 2021. Though it is a welcome move to save time, fuel and air pollution at Toll Plazas, it may lead to chaos if the automatic debit from the vehicle’s FASTag account did not happen. In my recent trip…
