Sir, It was a noble gesture of my friend KBG to dedicate his Abracadabra written in the midnight (we got our hard-earned Independence too in the midnight) to appear in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 14, 2017, for nothing much I did to his column. As a prolific and seasoned writer with a rich journalistic…
Vehicles with blank registration plates: Will RTO, Traffic Cops act?
August 16, 2017Sir, I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned for corrective action at RTO and/ or Traffic Police to prevent cases of vehicles, especially the new two-wheelers, being freely used on the roads without the registration number. The basic purpose of the registration number with its specification of size, colour and format…
“Make in India” or “Made in China?”
August 14, 2017Sir, International trade between various countries is a must for survival of all the nations and invariably there are trade imbalances. While India is exporting a lot of goods to other countries, it has a net trade deficit of about 47 Billion US Dollars with China! They are using this economic strength to bully us….
Heaven lies under the feet of a mother
August 13, 2017Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled ‘MOTHER’ published in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 8 was thought-provoking. I had tears in my eyes when I read that article. Two incidents have been narrated in the article. One is the outcome of materialistic approach towards our life under the influence of Western culture and the other incident of…
MOTHERS must adapt to today’s changing lifestyles
August 13, 2017Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra on MOTHER was touching (SOM dated Aug. 8). His description of losing his mother in a way that needn’t have been was almost like a confession. We still haven’t found the answers as to why elders sometimes become stubborn and refuse to co-operate with their well-meaning children in taking care and end…
This median does not serve any purpose
August 12, 2017Sir, A majority of city roads have been divided by providing medians. These medians, instead of helping in smooth flow of traffic, have become a nuisance. Take the case of Sahukar Chennaiah Road leading towards Maruthi Temple in Kuvempunagar. This wide road was good enough to take care of the density of traffic throughout the…
Kuvempunagar bus stand building lying idle!
August 11, 2017Sir, Kuvempunagar bus stand complex (a 3-storey building) built under Centre’s JNNURM scheme was inaugurated on 9.4.2011. Since then, the huge complex is lying idle except transit bus stop-over. The property could earn lot of revenue by giving it on rent to banks, offices and shops. Also, the building maintenance will cost a lot to…
Eve-teasing incidents on the rise in Gokulam
August 10, 2017Sir, It is very unfortunate that a lot of women in Gokulam have stopped going on evening walks because of the alarming rise in the number of eve-teasing incidents. The area around Ex-MLA Ramdas’ house and near Lions Sevaniketan School are particularly unsafe due to lack of street-lights. Even girls as young as 11 years…
Ganesha idols: MCC must act
August 9, 2017Sir, As Ganesha festival is fast approaching, the city footpaths are dotted with huge idols of Lord Ganesha (of different colours made out of clay and Plaster of Paris). These idols are invariably coated with oil paints and metal paints which are very rich in heavy metals by chemical composition. Idols made out of PoP…
Introduce ECS mode of payment for electricity, water bills
August 9, 2017Sir, At present Electronic Clearing System (ECS) mode of payment is not available for Mysuru citizens to pay their monthly electricity and water bills. These Departments have opened many counters across the city to ensure that the waiting time for remitting bills by consumers are reduced. However, if the ECS is introduced by these Departments,…
