Sir, I often read the views of readers in Star of Mysore posting pictures and comments on the poor job done by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) in spending tax-payers money in improving the life of the citizens and in maintaining infrastructure. The picture above is just one of the many poor state of the road…

Sir, Apropos your Nostalgically Speaking-1 item on 19.7.2020 about your brother Dr. Subbaiah. Dr. K.B. Subbaiah was the doctor I used to visit at Mission Hospital for a few years. He was a very soft-spoken person, a keen listener to the problem of his patient and a person of few words uttered in sweet slow…

Sir, Late Dr. K.B. Subbaiah needs no introduction in Mysuru city. He was a leading eminent Physician and very good Cardiologist. He was a very noble man generous to a fault.

Sir, I browsed through your nostalgic write-up (Abracadabra dated 19.7.2020) about your brother Dr. K.B. Subbaiah, who happened to be our neighbour.

Many people do not know the existence of Kalyani near the temple. Thanks to NMF for this yeomen service. What really caught…

Sir, A house, bungalow, villa albeit it being a duplex house, it is an independent dwelling unit even if it has a first floor. It is not an apartment and the land is not two. However, if the upper floor has been constructed as two with separate entrance via staircase from outside and the first…

Sir, We keep seeing newspaper reports of various associations and organisations having their annual team installation meetings. It is a bit distressing to see that many such social gatherings seem to ignore basic precautions to be taken in these days of deadly Covid-19, including social distancing and wearing masks, for the sake of getting photos…

Sir, Some doctors make a difference in our lives, some doctors reduce the quantum of our sufferings, some doctors touch our hearts with their humane kindness, some doctors bring a smile on our face… But 20th July saw a huge loss for the ENT and medical fraternity in the demise of Dr. K.M. Govindegowda (65),…

Sir, There is a vacant site next to our house (situated opposite to Bisilumaramma temple, 3rd Cross, 1st Stage, to be precise) and it has become a garbage dumping yard for many people. The maids who work at nearby houses regularly dump the waste there making it become an eyesore and also a breeding ground…
