Sir, I wish to express sincere thanks and gratitude to Star of Mysore on its 40th anniversary. I am a senior citizen, settled in Malappuram district, Kerala. Since 2002, we are visiting Mysuru twice or thrice a year as our daughter and family are settled here. She came to Mysuru in connection with employment in…
Sir, I read with interest, your Abracadabra titled “Mission Hospital: Mission Continues” (SOM dated Feb. 20). Living in the West after leaving Mysuru 40 years ago, because of the casteism, politics, endemic corruption and the downgrading of meritocracy, the Mission Hospital stood out then as a rare gem when even the poor could approach the…
Sir, The article titled “Fr. Denis Noronha: Celebrating 60 years of Priesthood” by Kenneth Shishir (SOM dated Feb.21) was informative and nostalgic since I am also from Bantwal. What a great inning Fr. Noronha had in this long and fruitful journey of 60 years of serving his church, community and the nation. All of us…
Sir, Reading the Abracadabra titled “Paris, Here I Come — 4: The paths of glory lead but to the grave — The tomb of JRD Tata” in Star of Mysore special issue of 16.2.2017 wherein it was written how the House of TATAs have touched every home in India with their various products from pin…
Sir, I was very much impressed with the new layout of SOM web version. It is looking smart and also helps to get info on today’s and tomorrow’s engagements, events, cinema, etc., which were missing in the older version. On some days, the paper boy may not deliver the daily well before 4 pm and…
Sir, Last year around this time I, along with my family members attended a wedding ceremony at Mysuru. After the conclusion of the function, a relative of ours invited us to come and relax at their place before returning home. As we wanted to avoid travelling in the hot sun, we readily accepted the offer….
Sir, Hearty congratulations to Team ‘Star of Mysore’ on turning 40 on 16th February 2017. While wishing all the best, there is a saying that ‘at 40 you tend to become naughty.’ Will SOM follow this and change its outlook and content for the next generation ‘keeping up with the Joannesses?’ – Vasanthkumar Mysoremath, Social…
Sir, This is in response to the news item titled “Officials review Airport security, expansion” in SOM dated 13th February 2017. It was good to read that officials reviewed the Mysuru Airport with regard to the security following frequent VIP and VVIP movements and expansion plans. But there was no word about when the Mandakalli…
Sir, The Traffic Police have installed two no-parking sign boards long time ago alongside Kamakshi Hospital premises and yet, the illegal parking of cars is noticed day-in and day-out violating the traffic rules (see picture). Apparently, these signages have lost its significance with vehicle owners hardly abiding by it. Since the Traffic cops are turning…
Sir, This has reference to the news item “DC instructs clearing of unauthorised shops atop Chamundi Hill” (SOM dated Feb.10). It is surprising that the Deputy Commissioner is taking note of the unauthorised shops now while the Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) has met him and his predecessor as early as August 2016 and many times…
