For a while now I have been wary of consuming fruits and vegetables. Why? Well, come April, I have a friend who goes mango crazy. In fact, his children say two months in a year their father turns into a ‘mangoose,’ a play on words, to say their dad feasts on mangoes. This year Mr….
Moustache and beard are the new fashion trends. Half the Indian cricket team sports a beard and a moustache. Even our Prime Minister sports a well-manicured facial foliage. But why are so many young boys sporting a full face of hair these days? Is it a fashion statement or could it be a crisis of…
Mysuru lost to Ahmedabad in making it into the Guinness Book of Records for the most number of people performing yoga in a single location. It’s unfortunate but kudos to Deputy Commissioner D.

It is equipped with modern amenities on board like LCD TVs, Wi-Fi, closed circuit camera, Bio-vacuum toilets and touch-less water taps. As the new Tejas Express rolled in from Delhi to Mumbai, from…
Ah! How can anyone not love that drive up Chamundi Hill late at night. And the view from atop, which is a sight to behold as our city shines beneath us reminding us how lucky we are… Well, from now on we will not have this reminder as the district administration has banned all entry…
It’s the season of anxiety — PUC and SSLC board exam results are out. The colleges pray for a rank to increase their marketability, the school Principal wishes for high pass percentage to secure his job, the parents hope their ‘status’ is intact while the student is in a state of panic.

A month ago, two students Srivalli Rattehalli and Vishnu Priyan visited Star of Mysore office to show some photographs.
