Thus spake Sudha Murthy: Light on Life
"I used to tell a story at the end of the class. And the students used to be so happy". It appears after some years she met an young executive who introduced himself to her as her student. Sudha Murty in a lighter vein asked him if he remembered anything of what she taught. He smiled and told her, “Madam honestly I remember nothing about the subject you taught but I remember every one of the stories you told at the end of the class”. Read On

Indians fear God, not rules.... Americans fear rules, not God!!!
The second and subsequent generations of US residents of Indian origin are said to be neither here nor there. What is your assessment? The second generation of Indians in America is very interesting in many ways. Of course, there are individual variations. The first generation went to America with dreams of establishing themselves there. At that time, India too was different. Money was difficult to get for trips abroad. Read On

Interview with Narayana Murthy: "Follow Your Bliss", Narayana Murthy tells Youth
You are retiring at 60, which is very young by today's norm. Why this early retirement? Yes it is, but I will retire. I believe in making room for the youth. We have to give other people a chance and more importantly a chance for the youngsters to show their skill and prove themselves. Look at our politicians, we have Ministers who are so old that they cannot even remember the last question asked, but then they still want to hold on to their seats instead of making way for new talent and youth. Some of them are so old that they don't even remember which board meeting they are sitting in. Read On

M. S. Sathyu tells Film Makers: Take criticisms sportively
What do you feel about the film industry of the '70s and now? These days, films are blindly made. Their names and heroes may differ, but the story, frame and other aspects are the same — sex and violence. There is no novelty in Kannada films these days. It appears, actors like Sudeep, Darshan and others feel that showing weapons and muscle power is acting. It should change. Read On

An exclusive interview with MP Vijayashankar: Tourism should be our main industry
However, looking at the poor facility available for tourists, neglected tourist spots in and around Mysore city without proper roads, the condition of KSTDC hotels in Srirangapatna and elsewhere, sale of the dormitory of KSTDC in Somanathapur to a private person who has left it in a dingy condition, unhygienic condition of city hotels, Vijayashankar should realise that mere slogans will not promote tourism.

Interview with Mr Praveen Sood, Mysore City Police Chief
Is it true that many cases either traffic or otherwise, are booked for the purpose of monthly record, which is mandatory for your department? Why not all through the month, which will instill fear of law in the hearts of drivers? This is a wrong notion. Traffic Police do their duty everyday except on holidays. We collect a sum of Rs. 40 to 50 thousand everyday as fines. We collect about Rs.8 to Rs.10 lakh as fine every month. Read On

Interview with Vyjayanthimala Bali
Your exposure and involvement in dance. Do you think it helped in your film career? I have reaped a lot of benefit being a dancer. Practising and performing dance are equivalent to practising yoga. Dance is mixed in religion and our culture. Being a devout Hindu, thinking of Hindu mythology, understanding of Hindu epics becomes possible only because of practising this art. It has helped me to be strong mentally and physically and to concentrate. You see how agile I am. Read On

Why revolutionary discourse? What does it mean? Earlier, I used to deliver discourses in soft, sweet and pleasing tones. But the listeners treated them as lullabies and forgot.

A group of Corporators allege MCC of selling water, another group is indifferent and yet another group wants water to their wards at least once in 2 days, so that they can walk around with their heads held high.

In view of all this it appears that at least 15 years are needed to solve the water crisis to some extent. Read On
