Sir, That the State Government is coming up with Rs.173 crore Super-Speciality Hospital in city is a good news indeed (SOM dated Sept. 8). However, the decision to locate this eight-storeyed building within the K.R.Hospital complex is certainly not a wise decision on the following grounds: K.R.Hospital Complex is already a congested area in terms…
Sir, I read with interest the letter by K. V. Srinivas about the film ‘Guide’. I remember reading the article ‘Is this Malgudi?’ But I am not sure if it had appeared in Life or any other periodicals. The inimitable style of R.K. Narayan can be seen everywhere in his writings. I am quoting from…
Sir, I am a dog lover with two dogs living with our family inside our house. Dogs do love to have their freedom but there are many reasons why it is best to keep your best friend leashed, even when you don’t have to. Loose dogs, even well-trained ones, may find themselves in the street,…
Sir, The observation of Dr. Javeed Nayeem in his article ‘Keeping our trains safe and slow!’ (Star of Mysore dated Sept.8) that people in the US are proud of the slow moving trains as it is the most enjoyable travelling experience they can boast of, calls for comment. After the end of II World War,…
Sir, Nada Habba Dasara begins this Thursday and the authorities are busy in window dressing festival venues. City roads are in a pathetic condition and no one is bothered except talking about Dasara. Potholes are filled with roadside dust or soil with a sprinkle of tar on the surface which will come back to its…
Sir, The View Points being developed atop Chamundi Hill with High Definition Binoculars, as reported in Star of Mysore dated Sept. 14, is indeed a practical way to promote tourism. The tourists can enjoy the panoramic view of Mysuru in daytime, particularly the Palace and surrounding areas. In fact, it was a long felt need,…
Sir, It is really sad and frustrating to see the apathy of our city’s top administrators towards areas like Udayagiri, Rajivnagar and surroundings. Our Deputy Commissioner (DC) D. Randeep has taken steps to restore many dying Lakes in Mysuru but the Devanur Lake is still out of his sight, even though it is in the…
Sir, Apropos the letter titled “R.K. Narayan and the Film “Guide” (SOM dated Sept.7) the reader has strongly recommended reading the book ‘Guide’ and viewing the film. But more interesting and lively is the article written by R.K.Narayan in his own inimitable style, in the famous American Magazine ‘Life’ in 1967 or so about his…
Sir, We the residents of Jayalakshmipuram use Kalidasa Road very often for our various shopping needs. There is no proper walking path (footpath) at all, particularly on the stretch from Panchavati Circle towards Chandrakala Hospital. The whole path is so uneven that it is impossible to walk risking our lives. Adding to this, the shop…
Sir, Passengers travelling from Mysuru to Shivamogga-Talaguppa by the night train (07301) have limited options (one unreserved coach and one II sleeper coach), that is part of the Mysuru-Dharwad Express, which is almost always completely booked. Talaguppa being a tourist destination and passengers travelling to Bhadravathi-Shivamogga frequently opting for a comfortable overnight journey than travel…
