Sir, Apropos the letter titled “Video-shoot of classroom lecture, a novel idea indeed” by T.S. Narayana Rao (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 18), I am also of the opinion that it is a very good proposal from the point of view of teachers and also from the students’ perspective. Of course, what Dr S. Dandapani…
Sir, I was shocked to read KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Audacity of Legislators” (SOM dated Mar.24). This is not a disaster only for the Press and Media. In fact it is we the people who should be even more concerned. If the Press does not inform us of the shenanigans of our political leaders who will?…
Sir, If you had listened to All India Radio Mysuru (FM 100.6) at 5:54 am on 22nd March 2017, the announcer would have said that as per the national calendar it was the first day of the month of ‘Chaitra’ of ‘Shalivahana Saka’ year 1939! This information intrigued me quite a bit as we normally…
Sir, This refers to the recent report “Expert Committee constituted for Kukkarahalli Lake.” The Committee members as I know are irrigation experts. The Deputy Commissioner should have included one sanitary expert in the Committee. However, before giving their report to the Karnataka Lake Development Authority, I want them to consider the following details: 1) The…
Sir, Your ‘Abracadabra’ about a Mandya man (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 23) has prompted me to narrate my experience with the people of Pandavapura taluk in particular. My memory goes back to 1970 when I started my practice as a surgeon in Mysore. I recall and appreciate the services of late Dr. J.S. Raman…
Sir, On a visit to Mysore Palace I was shocked to see the quantum of waste littered in front of the Ganapathy Temple, Anjaneyaswamy Temple and around the parking lot. I could find only two dustbins on some obscure locations, for such a large area. The Palace being one of the major tourist attractions of…
Sir, As a frequent traveller on the Ring Road, I noted a couple of months ago that the authorities have installed signboards that say that the speed limit is restricted to 40 kmph on all the stretches. However, since they are still up even after a couple of months, I thought I must bring to…
Sir, It was very nice to hear the news about putting an end to the monkey menace around the Kukkarahalli Lake by the Forest Department staff and MCC officials. But is this really an end to this menace ? We could still spot certain stray monkeys around the Saraswathipuram Swimming Pool road area entering the…
Sir, I have been writing in this column about the mobile menace of motorists. It is unfortunate that no concrete steps are taken by the stakeholders to control this menace. Of late, we see every second person on a bike or driving a car with the mobile stuck to his / her ear. Such practice…
Sir, I would like to bring it to the attention of the Traffic Police, the brazen disregard and violation of zebra crossing by vehicle-users. One such example we have seen time and again is at the Premier Studio junction. The Traffic Police stand on the SJCE road just about 10 feet away from the signal…
