Sir, I came across a dangerous path in Gandhi Square recently where the High Tension electric pole was installed on the middle of the footpath! Aren’t the footpath meant for the pedestrians to walk safely in city? If you see the picture, there is hardly 5 ft footpath and exactly in the middle there is…

Sir, Your Abracadabra dated 26th July — Nostalgically Speaking-2, Mysore, a Pensioner’s Paradise — was very interesting. I would like to add some more from my memories dating to 1960s and later. I was a school boy in the 1960s at Bharathi Sthree Samaj in Vontikoppal (V.V. Puram). The city had about half the present…

Sir, Once again we would like to state that there is no proper supply of water in Ward 14, near P and T Quarters, Udayagiri. This happens every now and then. There is no fixed hour for the supply of water. The water when supplied is only for 10-15 minutes with very low pressure. Everytime…

Sir, The Covid-19 cases have been increasing by the day in Karnataka with the Government in a quandary. What is more disconcerting is the increase in the number of fatalities. However, the people should also follow the guidelines and norms prescribed by the authorities and show discipline, something that has been lacking all round. Here…

Sir, The Coronavirus cases are shooting up as people are roaming around, ignoring the lockdown regulations across the State. In this process they are spreading the virus from one to another, which is increasing by thousands every day. The whole world is reeling under economic crisis, every country is spending billions on fighting Covid-19. India…

Sir, I often read the views of readers in Star of Mysore posting pictures and comments on the poor job done by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) in spending tax-payers money in improving the life of the citizens and in maintaining infrastructure. The picture above is just one of the many poor state of the road…

Sir, Apropos your Nostalgically Speaking-1 item on 19.7.2020 about your brother Dr. Subbaiah. Dr. K.B. Subbaiah was the doctor I used to visit at Mission Hospital for a few years. He was a very soft-spoken person, a keen listener to the problem of his patient and a person of few words uttered in sweet slow…

Sir, Late Dr. K.B. Subbaiah needs no introduction in Mysuru city. He was a leading eminent Physician and very good Cardiologist. He was a very noble man generous to a fault. A Godfather to poor people, he had saved many lives. He used to distribute free samples of medicine given by the medical representatives to…

Sir, I browsed through your nostalgic write-up (Abracadabra dated 19.7.2020) about your brother Dr. K.B. Subbaiah, who happened to be our neighbour. I never had the opportunity to meet him personally, though, because I was working at that time as a lecturer in Mangalore University. However, I got to know quite a bit about your…

Sir, I am a daily commuter on the Rane Madras Road (Ring Road junction near Damden Apartment, Hebbal) to reach my workplace. I have witnessed huge potholes and craters near the speed-breaker on entry to Rane Madras Road. These potholes are expanding day by day and motorists, especially two-wheeler riders are experiencing a roller coaster…
