By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Almost all over our country and even in our own city you can see some itinerant families who practice traditional medicine on the roadside. All of them invariably ply their trade from a dilapidated van that has changed many hands and has certainly seen better days in better hands…
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…

Javeed Nayeem, MD Last Friday I wrote about my recent visit to the fortress town of Chittorgarh at Rajasthan and my very disappointing experience with the guide there who instead of guiding my family and me around the historically important sites was only hell-bent on narrating the storyline of the recently released…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem From Udaipur which was our base, a day long excursion took my family and me to the fortress town of Chittorgarh, about a hundred-and-twenty kilometres North-East of it. Chittor was once the capital of the Mewar rulers who after the advent of field artillery shifted their base to Udaipur which…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD In my article of last Friday I said that Udaipur and Mysuru are similar because they are both cities of Lakes and Palaces. I would like to add here that they strike me as being similar for another reason. Amid the many Palaces that they have, they both also…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD As I said last Friday, our own Mysuru and distant Udaipur, which I visited recently with my family, seem like sister cities to me since they have both been seats of royalty and also because both have many Lakes and Palaces. It is a different matter that while we…
