Recycled Writings: 'Hotmail' Bhatia on the idea of 'failure'
http://mymysore500.blogspot.com/2007/12/hotmail-bhatia-on-idea-of-failure.html
Monday, December 10, 2007. Hotmail' Bhatia on the idea of 'failure'. A failure is seen in the US as 'a badge of honour', as he put it; as an experience you learn from; something that spurs you to try again; and something that works up your hunger for success. And what does he find in India? You have people (promoters) saying, "Oh God, you've failed; I'm not sure if I would want to come anywhere close to you". Mr Bhatia told the BBC(view video). We needn't celebrate failure, as Mr Bhatia says Americans do...
Recycled Writings: Taslima Nasreen: Where does she go from here ?
http://mymysore500.blogspot.com/2007/12/taslima-nasreen-where-does-she-go-from.html
Saturday, December 22, 2007. Taslima Nasreen: Where does she go from here? Where does she go from here? I refer not merely to her ‘homeless’ status, but also her literary works in progress, if any. I am not familiar with her writings; Taslima Nasreen. Is less widely read than written about, not always for the right reason. Leading a life, unsettled and under constant threat of violence takes courage. But can Taslima, or anyone else in her nomadic situation get any writing done at all? 8221;, Taslima is q...

Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Cricket: There’s life after World Cup for Team India. Let’s look at the positives. We beat Bermuda, didn’t we? Speaking of old-fashioned cricketers, the opposing teams should be led by legends such as Zaheer Abbas and Sunil Gavaskar, as non-playing captains. We could call it the. Legend has it that during an India-Pak tie when Abbas got into a seemingly unending run-spree, the then India captain, Sunil Gavaskar walked up to him to say, “. Zaheer bhai, Ab-bas karo. Former Pak capt...
Recycled Writings: October 2007
http://mymysore500.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 27, 2007. Reinventing Nilgiri’s local media. A friend in Coonoor, Rev. Philip Mulley, mailed me a couple of recent issues of. That carried his article, tracing the beginnings of road building in Nilgiris. It all started in 1819, with the then collector of Coimbatore, John Sullivan, taking up a path-breaking expedition to Kotagiri. It then took over 50 years to build a road connecting Mettupalayam with Ooty. And in the early years travelers to Coonoor/Ooty took ‘fast. Glossy paper with b...

Friday, May 25, 2007. It wasn’t his anniversary day. Nor was it a day of remembrance for media veterans. Yet his daughter and I had him on our minds; spent a few tear-filled moments, remembering the late C N Chittaranjan, when we met at a concert hall in Sunnyvale, C A, last Saturday. He died in New Delhi. In his later years CNC’s prime concern in life was to be able to bring out. And to be editor of. CNC led the workers’ agitation, for which he had to spend time in jail. Later he moved to New ...Was sta...

My Take by GVK: Why Mysore?
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/06/why-mysore.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. June 13, 2007. Because it has a million residents with nothing much to do.Other than Infosys training centre a few small software companies there is nothing in the city. Its educated population need to go out of town to work. Commute time for those locally employed is rarely more than 10 minutes. Low cost of living. Office space in Mysore is five times cheaper than in Mumbai; 43 times less expensive than Manhattan. Father’s D...
My Take by GVK: Attack on Taslima: Some questions
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/08/attack-on-taslima-some-questions.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. August 9, 2007. Attack on Taslima: Some questions. The attack on Bangladesh writer Taslima Nasrin. By an unruly bunch led by three MLAs at a Hyderabad Press Club raises some questions.Extensive visual coverage of the incident was possible because of the media presence in strength at the scene of violence. Read in the papers. I believe that three of protesters are MLAs. It was a disgrace to the country and to the Constitution. View ...
My Take by GVK: Made-in-China toys
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/08/made-in-china-toys.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. August 1, 2007. News is the US toy company Fisher Price is pulling out. Of stores in US and Canada nearly a million plastic toys, many of which are. Because they contain potentially unsafe amount of lead. And those who have bought them in the last four months can exchange them for a safer toy. The toys for pre-school children were made in China. I wonder where the recalled toys. Gosh, this is scary! MY TAKE, at a new address.
My Take by GVK: A cash-for-appointment hoax
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/08/cash-for-appointment-hoax.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. August 15, 2007. We’re not in America where they say that the resourceful can ‘pay’ their way to spending a night at the White House Lincoln’s bed-room. Mind works in weird ways. A couple of ‘enterprising’ Mumbai guys are reported to have claimed. That they could arrange a meeting with the President at Rashtrapati Bhavan for anyone paying Rs.22,000. Their claim was reportedly telecast in a private channel. That the nation’s h...
My Take by GVK: When my deo spray posed a threat to America
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/05/when-my-deo-spray-posed-threat-to.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. May 19, 2007. When my deo spray posed a threat to America. 8221; she said, “we take it after meals for easy digestion”. The man saw sense in it, and asked my wife if there was anything else we were carrying. “No”, she said with a straight face, while I knew she was carrying. Powder, milk sweets and banana chips. My son Ravi, who travels frequently within the US, says they were more considerate at domestic airports. Once at San ...

My Take by GVK: Rail travel notes
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/07/rail-travel-notes.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. July 12, 2007. Do you know of anyone who might know of someone who has said he/she liked rail food? I have yet to come across one who relished – I mean, yummy-yummied – a meal in the train. That the train food is no good isn’t worth writing about. What intrigues me is capability of caterers to serve meals in trains that are so uniformly tasteless. Sambar, morkozahbu, bhaji, puri. Prof Lalu P Yadav. Can tell his Ivy League undergrad...
My Take by GVK: Watergate, the unreported story
http://mymysore3.blogspot.com/2007/06/watergate-unreported-story.html
My Take by GVK. Ramblings of a retired journalist who can't stop writing. June 2, 2007. Watergate, the unreported story. June 17 marks the 35th anniversary of the Watergate. Break-in. And America isn’t planning anything to mark the occasion. This may be because Americans do not know much about Watergate. A survey by a US TV channel some years back reported that a third of the respondents said they were not familiar with the scandal that drove President Nixon out of office. Of CBS, in her memoirs –. As Wa...

Dharmasthala | My Take by GVK

My Take by GVK. 124; Comments RSS. Of Digital Green and Makkal TV. Bhopal gas: A lethal trade secret. The Emergency: Indian media's shameful era. Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog. Posted on June 6, 2010. Haven’t we heard people say, ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’? They have several residental blocks such as this one. The Rs.10 you pay when you move into one of these rooms is paid back when you vacate and hand in the key. This is as close as you can get to the main shrine for taking pictu...

I made this cowdung wall a reference point as I started posting photos reflecting everyday life in Mysore. I had then expected that the wall would be gone. Before long, giving way to real estate development. And this is where my Mysore photo blog comes to end. For I am planning a move from Mysore, to another city. Is a the...
Bangalore-born, Mysore-migrated
Wednesday, July 26, 2006. MUSIC is something to enjoy which I can make any noise. Since Mr.GVK. Has, in his response to my previous post, given me. To dream, I decide to make use of the freedom not only to dream but also to express it freely. In saying what he has said, he has removed much of my fear over my sanity being suspected. I have for years dreamt - and continue to dream that I will be able to fulfill my fantasy of singing along with Asha Bhosle. If I have to make an impact on Asha. Rendering the...

Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Bye bye, Bangalore; saying it with saplings. If everyone who goes abroad the first time – students, IT professionals or baby-sitting NRI parents – were to plant a roadside sapling to mark the occasion, we could have a green corridor all along the way to the airport in three to five years. So I said in a recent post. Say it with Saplings. 8211; addressed to Bangalore air-travelers. Of SiliconIndia set up a online group in support of the initiative of the Tree-for-free trust.
A Mysorean's Japan Diary
A Mysorean's Japan Diary. Sunday, July 16, 2006. Tragic, and yet more tragic. Over tea with a former gentleman of the press today, I asked him why there was hardly any mention of the bomb blasts in Mumbai in the Japan Times. He looked shocked. I had to load a few news websites on the computer to enlighten him on just what happened. They haven't really done anything concrete in the past either to counter terrorism, have they? Has it really come down to this? Posted by Vidya at 7/16/2006 12:36:00 AM. A lot...
BLOG - Capt. Anup Murthy
BLOG - Capt. Anup Murthy. Sunday, November 30, 2014. I'm going to do a shameless re-plug of my official b log about flying the Lake 250 Amphibious Seaplane in SE Asia. For the story and pictures! Another quick update is my efforts to bring back the production of the Lake 250 and related Amphibious Aircraft back into production in the US for marketing the same and promoting GA especially GA business related to Seaplane operations. That is going strong. I hope to update more on that news shortly. Thanks fo...
BLOG - Dr. Javeed Nayeem
BLOG - Dr. Javeed Nayeem. Friday, December 29, 2006. The I-card that made me a convent resident. Read in the papers about the central Government plan to give us brand new multi-purpose identity cards. This is an exercise that has been attempted, at great cost and effort, once before, only to be done shoddily. After two subsequent attempts to rectify errors the Government realised that the cards so issued were no good and served no useful purpose. Posted by Dr. Javeed Nayeem at 5:35 PM. Do think about it.
