Web Site Comment in The New Indian Express,India Your article ,King Fisher submits fresh schedule to DGCA was interesting to read. The Airline has more then 175,Destinations both Domestic and International,was suffering Cash shortage and heavy losses in the recent Months.This is Mainly due to India's Civil Aviation's, Policy,as well Lack of Planning from the Airlines.Too Many Destinations beyond it's capacity also one of the Main reason Now that the Airline has given a new schedule to DGCA. Hope this issue will be solved soon, to avoid inconvenience to Passengers. By K.Ragavan.

Yemen's future tested with attack Letter Published in The National Uae on 27,Feb 12

Your article Hadi sworn in as Al Qaeda attacks (February 26) was sad to read.

On the same day of the new president's swearing-in ceremony, Al Qaeda killed 25 innocent civilians. This is painful and unacceptable.

After so much struggle Yemen managed to change its previous government, opting for better governance and stability. But as this tragic incident makes clear, Yemen's road remains long. We should pray for the innocent victims.

Connecting with kids Article Published in The Gulf Today,UAE on 25 Feb 12(240 th Article).

While travelling in a train from Chennai to Bangalore, I heard from fellow passengers about the recent murder of a school teacher by a student and a Grade X student’s suicide.

Such tragedies happen mainly due to pressure, both from the educational system and parents. Teachers and parents need to accept the fact that today’s children face immense social pressure. There is need for extra patience while dealing with them.

This report was a good read. In recent months a lot of casualties, mainly civilian, have become visible in the Syrian military attacks. Despite the Arab world's intervention, no solution has arrived, which is sad and painful to hear. Now the time has come for this bloodshed to stop. Only the people of Syria and Bashar Al Assad's government should decide. World interference has not helped the Syrian people. Let us hope this crisis will come to an end.
