Summary:
“Work on the pavement near Kukkarahalli Lake will be taken up once storm water drain line is done. However, just negotiating one’s way along the pavement, avoiding fellow pedestrians and tripping over vendors and their wares, makes walking on this arterial road anything but a welcome exercise. This thoroughfare, which practically runs across the heart of Mysuru, is lined by one architectural wonder after the other. Added to this is the trouble of crowds milling around the entrance of Devaraja Market, which only furthers the pedestrians’ agony. Mysuru: One need look no farther than the novels and short stories of the acclaimed author RK Narayan to find lyrical vignettes describing the joy of walking along the streets of Mysuru, which in the writer’s day, retained its anglicised name: Mysore..
