By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Picking up the thread of narration from what I had written last Friday about popularising the sport of competition shooting in our schools and colleges, I would like to take you on a trip back in time to an incident from my life that happened exactly fifty years ago…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The recent report in SOM that a sports complex built by the MUDA at great cost at Vijayanagar in our city has been lying idle and unused for the last eight years makes very sad reading by itself. But the part that is sadder still is the information that…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Friends, today is a sad day for me ! I should have been celebrating over the completion of thirteen years of my writing this column. But here I am, feeling sad, while contemplating over where we stand as a nation ! To remain on track of what I had…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Our Dasara, as we all know, is a grand ten-day spectacle. To different people it means many different things.

Javeed Nayeem, MD Even as the affected people in flood-ravaged Kodagu and Kerala are being rehabilitated with great difficulty, we are already beginning to hear faint rumblings of a sordid blame game that is likely to assume monstrous proportions and take the centre stage very soon.

Javeed Nayeem, MD It was distressing to read reports that thousands of birds’ nests, eggs and hatchlings at the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary were washed away recently when the floodgates of the KRS Dam were opened to let out the water that exceeded its storage capacity. This is not the first time that…
