“Success is the outcome of my poverty”: Mathoorji
Martin Luther King, Jr. said “If a man is called to be a street - sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street - sweeper who did his job well”. Mathoorji too firmly believes in the principle “If you do it, do it well”. It is said, you must first be a believer, if you want to be an achiever. Read On

If Amarnath Issue is irrelevant in J & K
K.B. Ganapathy, Editor of Star Of MysoreThe Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. The world is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house. Medha Patkar and Tan Shyamoli go on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter. Read On

Green Frenzy Catching On
HSK (Star of Mysore)Our mother earth was once fully dressed in green. When man appeared on the scene, he began to denude the earth of its green cover. The earth cannot bear to be bared. Man is beginning to see that ruthless felling or trees and cutting of shrubs, plants and creepers indiscriminately will spell his disaster. He is half-heartedly trying to rectify the situation by planting trees and adopting other measures. Read On

To Radiocity FM with love and disgust.

Of late, they have started broadcasting Kannada songs. This is done in the evening during the weekdays in a programme called Hotair. They broadcast some 4-5 songs, that's it. This is really bad. The issue here is not just about Kannada songs but it should be seen in a broader sense. It is about the bias against Kannada by Radiocity. When a full 4 hours can be dedicated for Old Hindi songs(11 O'clock show), 15 hours for English music and the rest for new Hindi music, is it impossible to dedicate 2-3 hours for the local language. This is my point.  Read On
