Sir, The other day one of my relatives complained of chest pain and we immediately shifted him to Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Mysuru, via Ring Road. To our surprise, when we approached the hospital, we went further half-a-kilometer to take ‘U’ turn to enter the emergency ward. It is really difficult to understand why there is…
Sir, Mysuru city, which was previously rated the numero uno cleanest city in the country has slid down to 5th place now. But our city is not completely clean because of the foul smell emanating from storm-water drains. The name storm-water itself implies that the drain is meant to drain off rain water only. But…
Sir, Nowadays JCBs are being used for all digging and soil- filling purpose. Work is being accomplished fast with minimum physical labour. With this advantage, some problems are created by JCBs. When one half of the road is dug and trenches filled after laying down of pipes, repair etc., the JCBs use spiked buckets to…
Sir, I read with interest the article, “Musings on Guru Poornima Day” by Prof. A.V. Narasimha Murthy (Star of Mysore dated July 15). I would like to share my humble opinion on Teacher’s Day in the US. AVN’s opinion based on the information given by his daughter in the US is incorrect. Being a teacher…
Sir, The hopes of Mysuru for a hat-trick, on being adjudged as the cleanest city for the third time, was shattered when it was pushed down to the fifth place, conceding the honour to Indore which, like Mysuru, is an ex-Princely State in Madhya Pradesh ruled by Holkar Dynasty. The most benevolent and revered ruler…
Sir, HOPCOMS is catering to the vegetable and fruit requirement of consumers in the State. However, most of the outlets need proper upkeep and cleanliness. At present, there is no proper arrangement to notify the day’s rates for items that are available for sale. Whatever the salesman demands has to be paid. I am witness…
Sir, In his article “Musings on Guru Poornima Day” (Star of Mysore dated July 15) Prof. A.V. Narasimha Murthy has mentioned that Teacher’s Day is not celebrated in the USA, which is not correct. Traditionally, the Tuesday of the first full week of May is celebrated as National Teacher Day in the US. Hence, the…
Sir, Of late, there is a surge in the number of trucks carrying quarry dust in and around Mysuru. Though both the State and the Central Governments have stipulated that items like quarry dust powder and sand should be covered while transporting, this rule is seldom adhered to by the transporters. Majority of the transporters…
Sir, This is in support of the letter in this column by M.K. Raghu (SOM dated July 11). These days almost every other student either goes to take up engineering or medicine as a profession. And moreover many parents and teachers are not even aware of other courses that are in our curriculum. I, as…
Sir, Kudos to the Director, CSIR-CFTRI, for his wise choice to invite H.D. Deve Gowda to launch Ragi Mudde making machine. It was he who launched the much-hyped ragi mudde as an international cuisine when he was the Prime Minister. If my memory is correct, as a retired scientist, this is the first time as…
