By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Our Chamundi Hill is undoubtedly the most imposing backdrop that lends a very unique and majestic look to our city. Being visible from far and wide and from all directions, its visibility heralds to all our guests and visitors that they have arrived at their destination. And, to the…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The vexing and all too real street dog problem, widely prevalent across the country, seems to be defying a workable solution, thanks to the opposing interests of the dog-fearing and the dog-loving groups.

Javeed Nayeem, MD Two days ago, on Friday evening, Mysureans had a rare chance to savour some of the finest pieces of Mirza Ghalib’s poetry and prose, intertwined with a mesmerising Ghazal and Kathak Dance concert, at the Kiru Rangamandira Auditorium, where the musical play titled ‘Zikr-E-Ghalib’ was staged.
