Stationery is now stationary: Some thoughts

September 4, 2021

Sir, This refers to the write-up titled “City’s booming stationery business now stationary” (Star of Mysore dated Sept. 2). A stationery store situated near my residence has on its name-board spelt ‘stationery’ as ‘stationary.’ When I had pointed out this spelling mistake to the person running the establishment years ago he brushed aside my pointing…

Hawking with loud speakers

September 3, 2021

Sir, Apropos the letter from Dr. M. Shyamprasad (SOM dated Aug.28), I wish to express my full agreement with the point made and the appeal to the authorities to curb the menace. Before Covid-19 started, there were only a few autorickshaws mounted with loud speakers selling odd products and services. But when the Covid-19 lockdown…

City Police must not fail us

August 31, 2021

Sir, The gang rape of a student by some youths in this heritage city makes all of us hang our heads in shame. As a retired senior citizen, I have come across many Police Commissioners in Mysuru city. Many of them have served with distinction while some of them in a satisfactory manner. This is our perception…

This potholed road still crying for attention

August 30, 2021

Sir, The potholed 3rd A Cross road at I-Block, Dattagalli-Kana-kadasanagar, the photo of which was published recently in SOM, hasn’t so far evoked any response from the authorities or area Corporator. Every splash of rain is deepening the potholes and the road is becoming worst from bad (see pic). May I request the authorities to…

Curb noise pollution by street hawkers

But of late, many street hawkers have started using amplified speakers for their sales and services on roads one after the other and also simultaneously (like menace…

40 kmph & over-speeding !

August 27, 2021

Sir, Anything above 40 kmph on our Highways is now considered over-speeding. We can see interceptors hiding on the Highways and the Ring Road to catch motorists going over 40 kmph. There was a time when maximum speed limit was 60 kmph which was reasonable. Now it has been reduced to 40 kmph. So we…

August 26, 2021

Sir, Recently I read the Abracadabra titled ‘Secret to a long and happy life’ (SOM dated July 16, 2021) and I wish to add the following: In Japan, 2 million people are older than 90. Of these, around 69,875 people are 100 years old or over. The average life expectancy in Japan is 84.2 years….
