Sir, Of late, many readers are writing about rampant growth of bushes, especially parthenium, in Mysuru. Mysuru has become like a shrub jungle with thick growth of this weed leading to severe breathing problems. I reside in Ramakrishnanagar I Block where the growth of this plant has covered all vacant sites — private or government….
Sir, A wall-to-wall public turnout at the huge Senate Bhavan. That too for an English literary event?! Kudos to Prof. K.C. Belliappa and team for “literally” pulling off a “coup” by turning Mysuru Lit Fest into a “Baahubali-like block-buster” last Sunday. And, in terms of audience-traction, the event presented quite a challenge to the clashing…
Sir, Your editorial ‘Exit for the Elderly’ (SOM dated June 20) was excellent, highly contemporary, sensitive, poignant and thought-provoking, as it were, to the present day unfortunate elders who are feeling the pains and pangs of utter negligence (though not all) and wishing for early departure from this ungrateful world.

Sir, The Rs.10 coin of India is not being accepted at many places in Mysuru. Even Metagalli Post Office refuses to accept the same stating that they already have Rs.10 coin totalling to about Rs.3000 which they are unable to use as a legal currency. This is legally illegal. Why this aversion to Rs.10 coin…
Sir, After hearing Dr. S. L. Bhyrappa at the Mysuru Literary Fest on Sunday, my thoughts went back to the days when he participated in some of the protests MGP held for public causes. Let me share a few instances of Bhyrappa’s activism that I have witnessed. The first time I met Dr. Bhyrappa was…
Sir, I fully endorse the thoughtful suggestion of Yadupathi Putty in his letter titled “Preserve Sangeetha Kalanidhi Mysore Vasudevacharya’s house” (SOM dated May 17) with regard to making it into a suitable monument. My Guruji (late) Mysore B. K. Padmanabha Rao was one of the senior-most disciples of the Acharya and I had the privilege…
Sir, This is to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned the dangers associated with a thick forest-like vegetation that has come up on two vacant residential plots (50×80 feet) on 6th Main road of Ramakrishnanagar E&F Block. This thick vegetation has become home to snakes and mongoose. There are a few tall and…
Sir, After having gone through various arguments for and against generic and branded drugs, I had to enter the field with my opinion in this regard. It has been made out through these letters that doctors would never like to prescribe generic drugs and they are making a living out of the mercy of pharmaceuticals…
