Sir, This refers to former UoM VC Prof. K.S. Rangappa’s comments on me in SOM dated June 27. Prof. Rangappa has no moral or legal right to comment on my reinstatement as he is guilty of the following serious violations of law, propriety and decency: At UoM, in 2006-07 he was found guilty of plagiarism…
Sir, Recently I visited a few well-known jewellers of our city with my wife to purchase a gold chain for her daily use. Once we entered the jewellery shop (surprisingly in all shops!!) we got a happy welcome from the gate-keeper who showed few empty chairs to occupy. Once we took our seat, the sales…
Sir, I have been in Portland with my son on a short visit. My daily link with Mysuru is through Star of Mysore. When I read the fascinating and perceptive account of the Literary Fest held in Mysuru in KBG’s Abracadabra dated June 19, I felt nostalgic that how much I missed it. It was…
Sir, It’s not even a year since District in-Charge Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa inaugurated one of the iconic elephant sculpture fountains at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Circle, popularly known as ‘Highway Circle,’ and already it has been subjected to repeated vandalism by political parties and private associations. Just two months ago in April a political…
Sir, Dr. A.V. Narasimha Murthy has thrown much light on the sterling personality and yeoman contribution of Dewan Rangacharlu to Mysuru Sansthan (SOM dated June 18). DVG, the doyen of Karnataka, has recorded the services of Rangacharlu in his book “Jnapaka Chitrashale”, which is a text book for I B.Com students of University of Mysore….
Sir, Literary Festivals are picking up momentum across Indian cities. Kudos to Mysore Literary Association headed by Prof. K.C. Belliappa and Dr. H.S. Shivanna with their dedicated colleagues for bringing Mysuru on the Map of Literary Festivals of our Country. It was a matter of gratification for the book-lovers, in particular, of English novels to…
Sir, In reference to my letter ‘Viral fevers: Simple clinical clue’ (SOM dated June 15), there is a very important factor to keep in mind which is about malignant malaria. In this case also, there is relative bradycardia and it is important to exclude malignant malaria in which patient looks more toxic and signs of…
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. As a social activist, I…
