Sir, Nowadays it has become quite common to see vehicles, especially two-wheelers, to move around in the city with missing or defective number plates. Recently I have noticed one such vehicle, with blocked number plate (see photo) but could not follow it as I was in a hurry to go on my work. In this…
Sir, Now, the Statue of Sri Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar is installed in Hardinge Circle, it is befitting to rename it as ‘Jayachamarajendra Circle’ so as to perpetuate the memory of the late Maharaja, who was a towering personality, dignity personified, a scholar and a great patron of art and music. Sadly, he died young. All the…
Sir, In one of his recent articles titled “Self-Discipline,” N.K.A.Ballal has highlighted the virtues of observing self-discipline. It is also a fact that those who lead disciplined lives tend to live longer. Examples of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, Mysore Vasudevacharya and John D. Rockefeller can be quoted in this connection. John D. Rockefeller was the richest…
Sir, Recently, the two prominent entry and exit roads in Saraswathipuram, 3rd Cross and 5th Cross, were asphalted by the civic authorities.

Sir, I read the two write-ups on generic drugs by Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem in Star of Mysore dated May 19 and 26. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Nayeem for his enlightening articles on social issues, including medicine. But the latest debate on generic Vs branded drugs have kicked up some dust….

Instead of pruning branches that might touch over-hanging cables, mature branches are being cut using sickle. CESC staff do not heed…
Sir, The articles about generic medicines written by N.K.A. Ballal and Dr. Javeed Nayeem (SOM dated May 18, 19 & 26) made an interesting but sad reading. Both have taken a lot of trouble to explain the genesis of generic medicines and both have succeeded in their missions in labelling generic medicines as something that…
Sir, I daily travel along Kalamandira Road. I have observed that a lot of garbage in bags or used plates, cups, worn-out bed etc., are being dumped on both the footpaths. In spite of repeated requests, the area Corporator has not take any action. I once again request the MCC Commissioner to get both the…
Sir, Mysuru city traffic is in a real mess. Riding two-wheelers with 3 or 4 persons, rash driving, speeding on the wrong side, jumping the signal, riding side by side talking loudly inconveniencing other road users and so on have become a common sight. What is shocking is overtaking from left side on cross roads….
