The first thought that comes to my mind whenever I look at good photographs either in a newspaper, magazine or a gallery has always been that of T.S. Satyan. A photographer par-excellence, a photo-journalist of national eminence who was recognised by the Government of India with the national civil honour of Padma Shri in 1979….
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Very recently, my attention was drawn by one of my patients, very anxiously, to a video clip that was doing the rounds on YouTube.

Yediyurappa sworn-in four times as Chief Minister and later Basavaraj Bommai as the Chief Minister, lost power in the 2023 Assembly elections. The Congress was victorious with absolute majority of…
Ah! Finally, restoration work at the Lalitha Mahal Palace will be taken up at the cost of Rs. 38 crore. This is good news, but the money is nowhere near what is required for an actual ‘restoration’.
