Mysorean

My father had decided to change jobs and places as well. We were moving into this new place called Mysore from Hyderabad.
I liked Mysore the minute I saw it. Those gulmohar trees along the road with their big red flowers created a very serene atmosphere. The searing heat in Hyderabad to the cool gulmohar […]

In one of my posts, we had a discussion about the culture of Mysore. Vatsan compared it with Chennai’s culture and said:
Mysore will become another silicon valley and lose its identity :), im pretty sure.
Chennai retains its identity because the labour working in IT firms is largely frm in and around TN, and chennai has […]

Mysore will be another Silicon Valley of India as a number of IT firms have evinced interest in setting up shop here, Karnataka industries minister Katta Subramanya Naidu said in Mysore. 
 
Speaking to Business Standard, he said Infosys, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services and a couple of other companies were coming to Mysore. 
 
Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro and […]

First they changed the names of the prominent cities in the state. Bangalore to Bengaluru, Mysore to Mysooru, Hubli to hubballi and so on and so forth. People thought it was uncool, would spoil the brand image of these places and some even went to the extent of saying that it was a political move.
What move? What […]

My father came back from office that day and was surprised to see me back home so early from my street cricket. We used to play in a small ground next door. He asked me what the matter was and why I was so excited? I reminded him of the “Roja” cassette and his promise. […]

A R Rahman-Gulzar-Mani Ratnam, a combination that has come together again after Dil Se… And i was waiting breathlessly for this. And though I am in no position to pass my comments yet on this one, let me just say this: This one too will rock the nation!
Though I am constantly listening to this one in the background, I don’t want […]

Well, yet another problem. Looks like the government has something else against the corridor. Not enough […]

Today’s The Hindu supplement “Magazine” carries an article on the changing face of Mysore. With the IT boom slowly touching Mysore, the negatives that it brings with it are what is most scary for a city like Mysore. Sometimes, it’s the space that you find in Mysore that makes you love it. And sometimes it’s […]

This was a comment in an article on Mysore by Viky. Everytime I read it, my eyes turn moist. Any true Mysorean will see what I mean.
Thanks Viky and Anu for allowing me to post this here!
Mysore cannot be experienced in holidays or weekends. Like a creeper
growing and encircling the staff, you have to live, […]

As expected, The Hindu quotes the truth. Here it is:
“Work on doubling the broad-gauge railway line between Bangalore and Mysore will be taken up soon and the State Government has earmarked Rs. 25 crore as its contribution to the project…”
And we were talking about bullet trains.
