Letter Published in Gulf News  UAE on 1 Jan 2015Protect citizens

`The Gulf News report about India scaling up offensive against terrorism after rebels kill 80 villagers in Assam was sad to read (‘India scales up offensive against terrorism after rebels kill 80 villagers in Assam,’ Gulf News, December 27). The Indian Northern state of Assam is often facing militant attacks causing more civilian casualties. The state government and central government should have new strategies to eradicate this menace. I am happy the home ministry has taken stringent measures to counterattack the militants. Ultimately, civilians should be protected.

Writing to the paper

I have been reading Gulf News for more than two decades and I want to share my association with readers. I still remember my first letter was published in Friday magazine on December 31, 2004. The letter was my comment on the article about scientist Krishna Murthy Kannan. Then, in June 2006 June I joined the Gulf News Readers Club (GNRC) as a member.

Since then I have been contributing letters to Gulf News despite my departure to my home country, India, in 2009. I have seen the development of Gulf News both in Nation and Views in the issues they have covered over the years. I always remember Gulf News and cherish my first letter published and the moment I became a member of GNRC.

Exactly on December 31 this year, I will be completing a decade contributing in various ways to the UAE’s leading newspaper. I am once again thanking Gulf News for a long association.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 28 Dec 14       Moral obligation

Corporate companies should have moral obligations to protect civilian safety. The example of the recent cancelation of the movie released through Sony Entertainment Pictures was well founded. Measuring any political climate is an important concept for corporations. Apart from entertainment, health, food and education, civilian safety is important.

Best asset

I love to make new friends, not necessarily through social media. Whenever I come across a friendly person, I extend my hands of friendship. 

I was travelling in India from Bengaluru to Trichy by train recently. I got acquainted with a businessman from Mysore. We exchanged our phone numbers. After a week, I forgot about the person. However, I was pleasantly surprised when he called me to wish in advance for the new year.

It is my experience that, mostly, train friends do not continue their friendship once they alight at their destination. This person proved different. Of all things in life, such friendship is the best asset.

I found the story about Syrians of all religions living in harmony an interesting read (‘Praying for peace in a war-torn land,’ Gulf News, December 23). Syria has already lost its charm after being stuck in a civil war for years. It is high time the Syrian government should realise what is best for the people and make peace and harmony among its citizens to help stabilise the region. Will Syrian President Bashar Al Assad revive this in the New Year?

Kathambari  took the mobile started dialing Prasanna.After seeing her number Prasanna  was surprised.

Right path

A friend was talking with me about today children’s interests. He said most children are interested in watching TV cartoons, playing games on the Internet and going to pizza joints. 

Last week, I went to a friend’s place. His son’s friend made a visit. When we were discussing about his hobbies, he said his passion was writing for children magazines and taking part in social activities. He praised his parents for the encouragement. 

I was thrilled to hear that. While one section of children fails to utilise the available resources properly, there are others like this boy who develop a passion to do something worthwhile. If children are guided on a proper path, they can do wonders.

For senior citizens like me, a morning walk helps a lot. I have not only improved my health, but also made good friends. For the past few days, I missed my morning walk as I was away from my home city, Bengaluru. When I met a friend, he enquired about my health and said he missed me at the walking zone. I am happy that there are still caring people in this world.

Age is a mere number

A few days ago, senior members celebrated an event in our club. Many members brought their own dishes. It was a gala occasion with more than 74 members participating. My wife prepared a sweet dish. 

Some members sang the melodious songs of Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi. As I am barred from consuming sweets, I enjoyed the sweet voice of our members. 

I realised singing and being merry have nothing to do with age or voice. A shining example in this is Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan.

After a long time

Recently, I attended a wedding of my cousin’s daughter in Chennai. Seeing me, most of my relatives were surprised. The reason is I could not attend any of my relatives’ marriage for the past 17 Years.

I was away in the beautiful land of the UAE. I was happy to see my cousins. Some had grown tall and some had put on weight. They also spotted a lot of changes in me, particularly my weight, which had reduced.

Apart from good friendship, good relatives are also an important part of life.

Destiny of a Car lift

The other day, I was waiting for a bus. The two buses that arrived were full and I had to skip them. 

The reason is even though special seats are allotted for senior citizens in buses, many young people occupy the seats and do not bother to respect the system. 

My thinking was distracted by a car horn. When I saw the person inside the vehicle, I was pleasantly surprised to see none other than a friend whom I had got acquainted with in the US recently.

He was happy to see me and asked to get inside the car. He remarked that he was in India to see his relatives. 

He dropped me at my place, leaving me contemplating about the role of destiny in life. 

I missed two buses and here is a man from far-off America in his car volunteering to drop me. Strange are the ways of destiny.

My Comment in Thendral Magazine USA.ஏன் இந்த அவல நிலை ?
கடந்த சில மாதங்களாக மனிதன் மிருகத்தை விட கொடியவனாக மாறிவிட்டதை நினைக்கும்போது நெஞ்சம் பதறுகிறது.தினம்தோறும் காலையில் பேப்பர் பார்க்கும்போது நம் கண்களுக்கு தெரிவது கற்பழிப்பு ஒன்று தான். மிககொடுமை சிறு குழந்தைகள் 3 வயது லிருந்து ஆரம்பம் 
ஆகிறகொடுமை .ஏன் மனிதன் இப்படி பேதலித்து குழந்தைகள் என்றும் பாராமல் மிருகங்களை விட கொடியவனாக மாறிவிட்டான்,?அரசாங்கம் இந்த விசயத்தில் மிகவும் மெத்தனமாக செயல் புரிகிறது .நீதி துறை மெதுவாக நீதி வழங்குகிறது.அந்த காலத்திற்குள் மேலும் பல குழந்தைகள் ,பெண்கள் கற்பு பறிபோகிறது. பெற்றோர்கள் குழந்தைகளை பள்ளிக்கு அனுப்ப பயபடுகிரர்கள் . அரசாங்கம் சட்டத்தை திருத்தி அமைத்து கடுமையாக நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும்.அவர்கள் கொடுக்கும் தண்டனை மீண்டும் இந்த செயல் செய்ய மற்றவர்களை தூண்டாமல் ஒரு பாடமாக இருக்கவேண்டும்.
பாடம் சொல்லிகொடுக்கும் ஆசிரியர்கள் தங்கள் கடமையை மனம் மாறாமல் செய்யவேண்டும்.நல்ல சிந்தனைகளையும் ,எண்ணங்களையும் மாணவர்கள் மேல் செலுத்த வேண்டும்.எல்லா ஆசிரியர்களும் மனம் மாறி நடக்க மாட்டார்கள். இது குழந்தைகளுக்கு ஏற்பட்டிருக்கும் அவல நிலை.
குடும்ப கட்டுப்பாடு என்ற பெயரில் நடந்த பெண்களின் இழப்பு ,மருத்துவர்களின் ,அலட்சிய போக்கு இது சத்தீஸ்கரின் அவல நிலை?
இந்தியா முதல் பிரதமர் நேரு வின் 125 ஆண்டு விழாவிற்கு இன்றைய
பிரதமருக்கு அழைப்பு அனுப்பாதது அரசியல் அவல நிலை .
மறந்த கவிஞர் கண்ணதாசனின் பாடல் எனக்கு நினைவு வருகிறது. மனிதன் மதத்தில் ஏறி விட்டான் அன்று இன்று மனிதன் மிருகமாக மாறிவிட்டான்..இந்த அவல நிலை நீங்க தூய்மையான எண்ணம் வேண்டும் நல்ல சிந்தனை ,இறை வழிபாடு வேண்டும் .மற்றவர்களை
அன்புடன் . வேறு பாடின்றி பார்க்க வேண்டும்.மிருகத்தனமான எண்ணங்கள் இதன் மூலம் மாறலாம் .இது என் கருத்து

Letter Published in The National UAE on 9 Nov 14Corruption fight will not be easy

I would like to comment on the editorial Cleaning India’s greasy palms (November 5).

The fact that that India ranks 94th out of 177 on a global corruption index is not so bad.

The present government under prime minister Narendra Modi is taking all the measures it can to fight this menace.

Corruption is so widespread across all transactions in India that it will be a tough task for Mr Modi to eradicate it. It may take time.

Last week, my grandchildren invited me to watch their final basketball match at a famous stadium. The enthusiasm of the participating kids left me amazed. The rapid speed at which they passed the ball and scored points was inspiring. I felt happy that the technology days have not scuttled the zeal of children when it comes to outdoor activities. My grandchildren’s team gave a tough fight, but lost the match. I was happy they took it in the right spirit. After all, in sports not everyone can win. In fact, I feel the one with the best sportive spirit is the true winner.

I was saddened by the news that India has slid in gender equality ranking (India slips into 114 in gender gap, October 29). Gender inequality will hurt the country in every way.

One area where it will be felt most is the economy. The Modi government has every reason to address this issue with urgency.

UAE attraction

Any connection with the UAE always brings a smile on my face. Last week, I watched the Bollywood movie, Happy New Year, featuring famous actor Shah Rukh Khan in the leading role. I was thrilled to notice that several important shots in the movie were captured in the beautiful locales of the UAE. Seeing the prominent sites pushed me down memory lane when I used to visit them while staying in the UAE. It is great news that the UAE has become a popular destination for film-making both for Hollywood and Bollywood.

I enjoyed reading your editorial Offering a film location is the first step (October 28). In recent years, the UAE has attracted a large number of actors and directors from Hollywood and Bollywood.

Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film, Happy New Year, a part of which was shot in Dubai, is making waves in India. The film features some of the most beautiful locations of the emirate, including Atlantis The Palm.

There is little doubt that in the near future the UAE will become one of the hottest hubs of international filmmaking.

Your editorial Rating system would improve health care (October 24) was thought-provoking. You have rightly mentioned that the most effective way to ensure patients are assessing the quality of the health care on offer is to make each hospital’s track record available.

This ambition has been hampered by insufficient transparency when it comes to the quality of health care provided in this country.

With the UAE determined to improve the health care sector, I am positive that this system will soon be made available to individuals.
