'A treasure trove of facts and statistics'


Sir,
I am overwhelmed reading through the feature articles penned by senior journalist Gouri Satya on various things surrounding our royal city be it the heritage buildings, about Wadiyars, religious and tourist spots, history, monuments, culture; anything we name it, he has in-depth information on all.
I happened to read one of his recent write ups on various localities, keris, gullies of Mysuru, in which he enormously listed out many most of them where I had roamed about umpteen times during my college days, not knowing their background. It made me recall my memory decades back.
His recent book Colonial Landmarks in Mysuru stands testimony to these. He is a treasure trove of facts and statistics. A big salute to this mobile encyclopedia and please keep us more enlightened. ....

De Havilland Arch was an engineering marvel


By Gouri Satya, Sr. Journalist
De Havilland died at Beauvoir, Guernsey, in 1866 at the age of 90. His wife Elizabeth died in 1816 at the early age of 35 and she was buried in St. George’s Cathedral Cemetery, Madras, which was conceived and built by De Havilland himself. Ironically, his wife was among the first to be buried there.
I am happy that my book ‘Colonial Landmarks in Mysuru’ has prompted Star of Mysore columnist Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem to write about the Webb’s monument and the De Havilland Arch at Srirangapatna. SOM of Dec. 13 was a pleasure to read because of the news item, “Chamundi Hill to get new stone stairway,” Dr. Nayeem’s column highlighting “Another forgotten landmark from a bygone era!” and the first part of the feature titled “Kannada Literature’s Gentle Giant”, Prof V.

Another forgotten landmark from a bygone era !


By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD
Last week, in my article about the book ‘The Colonial Landmarks of Mysuru’  by Gauri Satya, my historian friend, I had made a reference to a most imposing but almost unknown monument built by Dewan Poornaiah to honour his patron Josiah Webbe of the Madras Council, at the spot very close to Srirangapatna, where a mutiny by British soldiers was crushed by the forces loyal to the Crown.
 There is another very intriguing structure that once stood in Srirangapatna that astounded all those who were lucky enough to lay their eyes or set their feet on it but which has now almost disappeared from view. Only a handful old-timers who are alive and bound to be in their nineties now, may have seen it in its original form which it lost when it collapsed, in the year 1938. ....
