Web Site Comment in The New Indian Express.on 1.Dec.09.India.

Your Meaning ful article on Dubai ,interesting to read. Iam giving My Experience and Impressions .After Spending Sixteen Glorious Years in the UAE, i have seen the dramatic developementof Dubai,and seen the today's stand.Even though the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai Shaick Mohaamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum made a good impact in the world map,the over expansion made him to the present crisis.On the one hand the desert rose up to tall buildings and other Infrastructure facilities,over expansion landed in to this scenario.Iam confident with my experience of Arab Hospitality,Dubai will over come the Present problems with other Arab emirates.Because Arabs are not only famous for their Hospitality but also in cooperation and solidarity.

Tribute to Director Priyadarshan.(70).

Tribute to Director Priyadarshan (70) Today, I am going to write about another incredible filmmaker, writer, and director — none other than Priyadarshan. Known for his successful comedy films in Hindi, particularly with the trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, Priyadarshan has earned his place as a prominent figure in the Indian film industry. With a career spanning over three decades, he has directed and produced numerous films in Malayalam, Hindi, and Tamil. His contributions to commercial cinema, especially in the genres of comedy and action, are widely recognized. Priyadarshan’s ability to capture mass appeal with his simple yet effective storytelling and ever-present smile is a true testament to his skill. I’ve had the pleasure of watching a few of his iconic films, such as Hungama, Hulchal, Hera Pheri, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Each of these films showcases his unique ability to blend humor, action, and emotion in a way that resonates with audiences. He has carved his own identity in Bollywood, and his movies are known for their great music, catchy songs, and impressive cinematography. Although I haven't seen Kala Pani, a film that won him the Kerala State Film Award, it is certainly worth mentioning as part of his impressive body of work. Today, I am happy to pay tribute to this extraordinary director who has given us so many memorable films. K.Ragavan 29-11-2009 Until We meet Again Next Week,

Terror Threat and Mechanism.

Recently i have been reading and watching the Blame game of the Police force on 26/11 Mumbai Taj Attacks..Our Police Mechanism is not fast and no one bother about the common man's urgency.Blaming each other is not going to solve the crisis.We need Dedicated and committed Police Force who can deliver for the People and the country.Even though we have talented capable Police force with us ,our Mechanism is not functioning is the sad state of affair.If our Mechanism is not going to Speed up,difficult to tackle the unforseen incidents.

Beyond
boundaries
I have left UAE but my heart is still there. A friend called me from Sharjah to ask about developments in India. I told him that a short man's tall achievement has been the talk of the town. He was surprised. I was referring to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar who has completed playing two decades of glorious Test cricket and has broken several world records. Now the cricketer is being showered with honours, which he rightly deserves.

Today Terrorism is a Major threat and all the films are projecting this with a Particular community is very sad and Painful.Even if few are there ,media and films should not project or Magnify.Society is made of People and good things only should be Projected.Religon and sentiments should not be Exploited for the sake of Individual’s Benefit.

AFRIEND had invited
me for a get-together
at my hometown in India.
I met a couple of old
friends. We were discussing
about rains when
a friend’s son wished me
and asked if I could spare
a few minutes.
He then thrust a CV on
my hand and said: “Since
you have spent 16 years
in the UAE, could you
suggest a job for me
there?” I was wondering,
recession or no recession,
the UAE’s charm is everlasting.

Your article Language controversy was meaningful and thought provoking.India is a vast country with more languages and culture.This Maharashtra Assembly incident was very unfortunate.Inspite of so many languages,Hindi has been used as official language.Politicians should behave with code of conduct and Ethics.Govt .of India should impose strict Measures to curb this type of unpleasant incidents.Parties should not behave like this.

Letter fromMy friend R.Ramesh Deputy Editor Gulf today,,in his blog.

Friday, November 13, 2009
63-year young man
He’s all of 63 and a marketing man. He has an amazing tact in networking and keeps in regular touch with all good friends. He had to leave UAE for India last month, dealing a blow to me as I miss a great friend.
He does not get a single penny out of it, but writes his views regularly in letters to the editor columns that are splashed across several newspapers in the UAE and India.
From where do you get such energy? I asked Mr Ragavan.
“I enjoy what I am doing and do what I enjoy doing,” he replied.
How about your romantic life? I joked as usual.
“Hehe..Don’t ask in front of my wife,” he said blushing.
“Are you scared of your wife?”
“It is not fear, but love for my family. What about you?” he asked.
“I am the boss of my house and I have my wife’s permission to say so,” I used the cliché to escape.

Mis behaving is Condonmed one.

The Monday incident inthe Indian Maharashtra assembly was unfortunate and condonmed one.None of the politicians have moral code and behaviour in the assembly is sad and painful. India ’s Official language is Hindi and nothing wrong in using for Assembly Proceedings .Regionalism and language killing Indians.None of the people have got the feeling that we are all indians.Particularly Elected Leaders should behave and demonstrate properly.Misbehaving in the Assembly is a great offence.Govt.Should impose some strict measures .

Rain, rain

Come again

A relative came recently from the UAE to India and met me. We discussed various happenings, including weather. He said the weather was better compared to earlier months. Rains are rare in the UAE. Despite that, the UAE has developed Al Ain and several other spots as tourist destinations. After his departure, there was thunder and rain in my area. I was watching this type of rain after 16 years. I wish the UAE also received such rainfall as every region needs abundant rain to sustain.

Should Provide New Telephone connection.

Recently i read an article in a Leading news paper ,BSNL'S introduction of 3g.Services was nice to read. On the One hand i appreciate the developement made by BSNL,and on the other hand i was not happy about the New connections policy.Recently after spending16,Years in the UAE,i came down to my native state chennai for my retirement.When i applied for my landline connection i was told by the authorities that my area connection will be delayed till march ,2010,because of some shortage of cables or power.What i am appealing to Bsnl,a growing telecom giant in India,should prepare to provide connections without any excuse.Ihope the concerned authorities should address this important issue.
