I got a government seat at the medical college in Mysore in 1976, and the moment I got down at the Mysore railway station I was confused because all buildings looked like the Mysore palace, says Prof. Shervanthi Homer-Vanniasinkam, a native of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, now at University of Leeds medical school, UK. Before Mysore she was a student of the Bishop Cotton Girls’ boarding school and then did PUC at Mount Carmel, Bangalore.
(From a report by Veena Bharathi, Deccan Herald, Nov.25, 2005.)
I am a Mysorean and did my medical school 1973-79 in mysore. There is a majesty and Royal peace in his city of Maharajas who contributed so much to the culture and architecture of this noble city. It is true that a lot of building have this royal touch which is the beauty of this city. Having left Mysore 25 years ago, I have seen several cities, states, contries and continents , but none have matched the Majesty, Peaceful and Royalty of Mysore
For me, it was a different kind of consfusion when I first landed in Bombay twenty years back. Every building looked similarly alike, but the common quality about them was that they were all characterless.
