Stray dog menace at Sports Pavilion
September 2, 2017Sir, It is highly regrettable to bring to the notice of MCC authorities that a pack of about twenty street dogs have made the University Sports Pavilion their inhabitant place.

Goodness of Life…
September 2, 2017Sir, Reading Dr. Javeed Nayeem’s article “A Tale of Three Conferences!” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore, I was simply intrigued by the play of fate in each individual’s life. If one is good, providence returns that goodness multifold. The father of the girl-child with congenital defect in her heart was lucky to have Dr. Javeed…

Karnataka State pension reforms

Disrespect to National Anthem
August 28, 2017Sir, I fully agree with Dr. Javeed Nayeem for his views on National Anthem expressed in his article titled “Forced Patriotism Falls Flat” in SOM dated July 28. Playing National Anthem mandatorily in cinema halls before the commencement of a movie is not a wise decision. Cinema theatres are places of entertainment drawing people from…
