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…
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Mysuru calling, why are you not going?” published in yesterday’s SOM seemed to ‘instruct’ those in authority to become game-changers to develop tourism in Mysuru. However, I would like to mention that there are two more tourist destinations that need immediate attention. One is Brindavan Gardens. It is a chaotic situation…
Sir, I travelled in Train No. 22694 Rajdhani Express from Secunderabad to Bengaluru by 2AC sleeper on 3rd February in A5 compartment. After clearing the casseroles in which the food had been served, it was seen that the catering staff dumped them in a drum. The drum had been kept near the toilet door with…
Sir, When Star of Mysore enters 40, I am completing 80 and here is special greetings from a person who has seen one thousand full moons (Sahasra Chandra Darshana) so far to Star of Mysore which has seen about 500 full moons. I know SOM since DAY ONE. It is my sincere wish and desire…
Sir, It is with shock and sadness I learnt about the passing away of Prof. S.K. Ananda Thirtha through Star of Mysore. Your news item about him gave only one side of his contribution to Mysuru. His involvement in organising cricket and chess tournaments to promote love for the youth in them and also to…
