Sir, I read with interest the letter about MUDA and its eulogy under the leadership of the present Chairman D. Dhruvakumar. But the same cannot be said about the officials. In our case, the District Consumer Court has passed the orders to issue Title Deeds after about 20 years of house construction but the officials…
Sir, The ban on beef-eating —meaning the recent ban on cow slaughter in our country — and the protest against it is very much in news these days. This reminds me of a funny incident happened nearly twenty years ago during our first visit to Canada where our son and his Canadian wife were living….
Sir, Of late, we are witnessing lot of discussions on generic medicines to be prescribed by doctors. When a drug is prescribed by its generic name, the patient can opt for a cheaper medicine.

Sir, The ‘Health Capsule’ regarding Vitamin C published in Star of Mysore recently appears to substantiate the notion that higher dose of Vitamin C will result in good health and longevity of life. The above notion is only partly true. There is no doubt that Vitamin C is an excellent anti-oxidant but it acts as…
Sir, I am a senior citizen who until recently advised UN Security Council as well as Government of India. My younger brother, who has congenital hydrocephalus and has recently undergone surgery for spinal cord decongestion, is unable to walk well. We went to buy a four-wheeler scooter for him and were told by the scooter…

Traffic Police are trying their best to direct the people towards the subway whenever…
Sir, Recently an article was published in SOM stating that the new Passport Office in Mysuru is not serving the people of Mysuru and surrounding districts and it’s just a dispatch unit. I was applying for my passport so I asked my friend about this and they all told me to go to Bengaluru. But…
