By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The humble house sparrow may only be a very tiny speck in our environment but it has remained a very integral part of man’s existence over the years. And, like the faithful dog it may perhaps have moved with man in his evolution from being a forest denizen to…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD I spotted him sitting on the roadside near the gate of the Catholic Centre on T.N. Narasimha Murthy Circle which is more popularly known as Millennium Circle. Yes, there are a few landmarks like that in our city which are almost unknown by their officially given names simply because…
By Dr. K.Javeed Nayeem, MD Last week I had written about a young and robust Gulmohar tree in full bloom that was about to be axed down due to the ongoing road widening work near our Government Guest House. I had even wondered if some group of nature-lovers or philanthropic organisations could come forward to…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The last article I wrote was about how some unscrupulous medical practitioners, both qualified and unqualified, rampantly use a group of drugs called steroids to effect quick miracle cures and impress patients while at the same time endangering and sometimes even completely ruining their lives. After writing that, I…
A Gulmohar tree in full bloom that is standing in all its majesty, perhaps for the last time near the Police Training Academy in city. Sadly, it is likely to be lost in a day or two in the ongoing road widening operation! I wonder if someone can come forward to sponsor the translocation of…

By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD It has been reported that the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry has recently issued an advisory to Central Universities in the country to discourage research scholars from selecting pointless topics as research subjects. It has done this in response to the concern expressed at a recent meeting in Delhi…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Very recently it was announced that our city would be free from ‘Tiger Menace’ after our Traffic Police decided to wind up the arrangement of hiring tow trucks to pick up wrongly parked vehicles. The reason for this termination was that there were numerous complaints from the public that…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The rather amusing but certainly shameful drama of decking up Mysuru to qualify for the top place among the cleanest cities of the country has just ended. And, it has ended so dramatically too — all the garbage heaps at our street corners are steadily and happily growing back…
