Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 1 Aug 16,Something needs to happen
After the recent attacks in Orlando, US and when another city in the state of Florida witnessed this latest attack, it was saddening (‘Two dead in Florida club shooting’, Gulf News, July 26). This incident took place in a teen party venue. The cause of this attack is yet to be fully understood, however it was condemned. The US should act quickly on this issue and implement strict laws to protect innocent people. I pray for the victims and a speedy recovery for the injured.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 31July 16,A sad day for Japan
The horrific attack in Japan (Hatred behind troubled Japan knife attacker’s rampage, July 26) should serve as a moment of pause for the country.

    The attack, reportedly committed by a former employee of a disabled home, saw 19 people killed.
    This mentally disturbed attacker was reportedly taking revenge but it is unclear what he was taking revenge for.
    The attacker is a threat to Japan and should be put in safe custody for a long time.
    We must all pray for the victims and hope that the injured recover quickly.

    Career tips

    Education is very important. It not only prepares you for a profession, but also shapes you as a human being. The art of living and etiquette also come with it. 

    But to have a sound career, we must choose the right course, or a field. Shaping one’s career through education requires concentrated effort. It solely depends on you. It is like the more effort you will give, the better will be the outcome. When you are young, your perception of things is different. Proper guidance is required. But at the same time the profession should not be forced by parents upon their children. One should be able to freely decide on a profession of his/her likes. A few years back the son of an old colleague asked me which subject he couldn take up.  I suggested whichever subject he likes the most and has a firm grip over can be considered. 

    A few days back I received a message through another friend that the young man was very happy with his profession because of selecting the subject of his own wish and he was doing well in the field. I personally was very happy to receive this message.  The profession he had selected was none other than my favourite, Pharmaceuticals.

    So letting him choose his own subject led him to flourish in life. Of course, he has put in a lot of effort to reach such a position.

    Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 29July 16,Praying for Munich mall victims
    The Munich mall shooting in Germany has occurred soon after the Nice attacks in France. The Munich attack is a dramatic development in the European arena. The gunman who was 18 years old killed nine and wounded 16. The motive behind this attack was not known and he was also suicidal himself – not belonging to any terror group. However, the investigation is ongoing. Germany is one of the first countries to accommodate refugees when the migration crisis began. Now Europe is suffering from terror attacks. I pray for the victims and a speedy recovery for the injured.

    Film craze

    The Movie industry has came a long way. Today we see films of different genres. Each of these films tell us a different story, provide us different kind of entertainment. Say films for kids or adults, action or thriller, each has its own charm. And for fact, we choose our liking towards it. Recently my grandson had asked me to join him for the latest film of the Indian superstar Rajanikanth’s much talked about movie “Kabali.” 

    I told him if I am free on that day I will accompany him to the theatre.

    Ever since its trailers were out, the film has grabed the attention of the media and TV channels. Every one is talking about it and everybody wants to see Rajni in action. Apart from India, the UAE, the US, Japan, and many other countries too, this film is going to be screened.

    The actor Rajinikanth is liked by one and all because of his peculiar delivery of action punches and dialogues.

    For the past few days whereever I am going, I have been only hearing about this film. My friends are also planning to see this film on the first day of its release.

    A friend who is an ardent fan of this actor phoned me to know wheather I can join him for the Thalaiva film.

    Rajnikanth was popularly known as Thalaiva. But I am worried and I am praying that I should not have any work on the day of its release, so that I can see Thalaiva along with my grandson and enjoy it. I don’t want to upset him.

    Bring peace to Turkey
    Turkey was one of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) allies and the coup is condemned (‘Turkey coup supporters request surrender talks’, Gulf News, July 17). Some people from the military wanted to take power and the innocent civilians were targeted, which is sad. Turkey is the connecting point for the Western world and this is important. Will Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan bring peace and stability and security for the people and the region? We will have to wait and see.

    Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 18 July 16,n the hands of the people
    The Dallas attack in the US highlights the intolerance in the country (‘America caught in a web of violence’, Gulf News, July 13). The attack created a big ruckus in US. Racism and gun culture has been increasing in recent months, which is a sad state of affairs. The US is known for its multicultural nature, but with more expatriates residing permanently there, and this issue not being tackled properly, it is becoming a disappointing situation, to say the least. Despite US President Barack Obama’s appeal to his people, racism has become a tough issue to tackle. Will this issue be eradicated completely? This is in the hands of the people. I pray for the victims and a speedy recovery for the injured.

    Recent incidents and reports tell us that a lot of women are trapped and some have taken the drastic action of killing themselves. This is not a healthy trend as online sites with some bad elements creating this problem. Recently, the Indian government has also seriously thought about monitoring this issue and implement strict laws to curb this.

    Peanut idea

     
    Ask someone about his or her salary and you won’t be surprised to hear “peanuts” as an answer.

    But I have a different story. 

    A few months ago, I met a friend who wanted to start a small-scale business and asked for my suggestion. He had limited investment and so I suggested that he start peanut cake business.

    I told him to buy from the wholesale market and distribute to local company staff during the lunch hour.

    Recently I met him in a market place and he was all smiles. He informed me that he was very comfortable with his peanut income and thanked me for the suggestion.

    I was happy that he took my idea seriously and followed up with hard work. Incidentally he also offered me a peanut cake pocket as a gift.

    Article.

    My Article Published in Gulf News UAE on 15July 16,Focus: Social media sexism
    Trolling, harassment and hate speech online has existed ever since the beginning of social media. But it’s taking on an even uglier hue as women are being targeted. A recent report from Kerala, India, found that of 70,000 cybercrimes in 2013, at least 50,000 fell under the category of gender abuse. Now, female British Members of Parliament have launched an online campaign called #ReclaimTheInternet in response to growing concerns about the impact of hate speech and abuse on social media. Readers debate this phenomenon.Education is key to curbing bad behaviour
    Today, gender abuse and cybercrimes are increasing, and this is mainly true for teenagers and students, who are constantly on the internet and exposed to its many influences. They are attracted to the content available online, but are often tempted to commit mistakes. On the one hand, social media is playing a vital role in society, but on the other hand, a lot of miscreants commit cybercrimes, with unsuspecting people falling into their trap and some even losing their lives. This is mainly due to the lack of education, because the system is not encouraging the adoption of a moral code to encourage students to be more responsible in cyberspace. Educational curricula should be modified to teach students moral behaviour, and to let them know there are serious consequences to doing something right or wrong – even online.
    By doing this, cybercrime statistics might come down to a certain extent. Apart from this, it is the duty of parents to spend some time daily with their children, and lead by example when it comes to good behaviour. Good moral behaviour also develops when one associates with good friends. Children from morally aware, educated families would behave better and have a better understanding of the world around them. Apart from India, other countries are also facing the problem of gender abuse. In Britain, for instance, there is much outrage from women on the impact of hate speech by people on social media. People gain or lose respect by the way they behave, and this is a reality both online and offline.

    The Bangladesh hostage siege was sad to read. The brutal attack by the gunmen killed more than 20 innocent lives of different nationalities. It is the latest dramatic development in Bangladesh’s history. The attack was in a place where a lot of foreigners assembled and were having dinner. Apart from the casualties, they took some hostages and later they freed some. In the history of Bangladesh they have never witnessed this type of attack. After the troops stormed the group, the siege was over. This incident should be condemned strongly and the international community should not delay any further to eradicate this menace of terrorism to save innocent people. I pray for the victims and the grieving family members.

    India’s constitution needs a change
    We need to change how we elect parliamentarians and if they deserve their post
    By Ragavan Krishnamachary
    Today many countries, including India, have democratic values and polls are the main tool for electing people for power to clean governance without corruption. However, many countries continue to struggle with corruption. This is mainly due to greedy politicians who want to amass wealth with evil thoughts and selfish motives. They are accumulating wealth and putting it in other countries, like Panama, which was revealed recently. One small mercy in other countries, even though politicians’ loot, they still make sure that citizens are comfortable with facilities and infrastructure like roads for their people. This is more visible in other countries – not India. I am proud to say that my country is the largest democratic country in the world and that parliamentarians are elected by powerful people and this should be applauded.
    Unfortunately, corruption is more rampant and it is increasing day-by-day. My feeling is that the concept of Parliamentarians’ age should not exceed more than 65 years for both men and women to perform better. In many places, the age is above 70 to 75 years old. This age limit will help politicians to work better, maintain memory and strength.
    When they are elected by the people to occupy the chair and if they are not providing infrastructure like roads, education and health, that means good governance is not there. The same elected people should have the right to throw them out from power in my opinion. Only then will politicians fear and deliver to the people. To throw them out, the constitution would need to be altered.
    By implementing this act, every country would develop more and politicians would hold a greater respect for the people. Will my country take up this call and implement age limit and people should have the power to throw the elected politicians – it will be a real democracy.

    Noble doctor

    I was recently visiting a new city when I caught fever. I could not locate a doctor in the area where I stayed, as it was a Sunday, a weekend holiday. I somehow managed to reach a 24-hour facility and got the medicines. It was then that I realised the crucial role of doctors, which we take for granted.    

    During the recent Doctors’ Day, I rang up and greeted an old doctor-friend. He was happy that I wished him even though I had left the pharmaceutical field after three decades. This particular doctor was so considerate that sometimes he would treat poor patients without even charging them a single penny. I wish more and more doctors followed that noble path.

    The recent triple attack in the Turkey’s largest airport and the 41 causalities is the latest development from Middle East. Turkey’s Prime Minister was condemning the attack caused by Daesh. After the Brussels Airport attack, this is the second attack in an airport recently and 147 people were injured. Many flights have been cancelled and passengers have been held up in the airport. Turkey needs to investigate this and the guilty should be punished.
    Terrorism is increasing day-by-day in all areas, and it’s high time the international community acts on this.

    No age bar

    I have attended many events, but was thoroughly thrilled with our Senior Citizens’ Club function held recently. All our members played their part well, especially from the ladies wing. They proved that they were not only good choreographers, but also competent dancers. One member exhibited his skills in photography by clicking beautiful shots of that day’s programme. Another member suggested ways to help needy people. The message I got that day was that when it comes to contributing to society or making the most of life, there is no age bar. Involvement and personal contentment hold the key.

    Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 2 July 16,Shedding light on the dark statistics of abuse
    This was a good read, because the statistics reveal how women working in garment factories have a high probability of being sexually abused (‘One in seven women in Bengaluru garment factories face sexual violence, report says’, Gulf News, June 27). It’s sad, but shedding light on the issue is important. Supervisors and managers working above women staff should behave properly and keep up the reputation of their factory. They should think of their sister or daughter being treated like this, and how would they feel about that. Women should feel happy to work without any fear and they should be respected. Men should change their mindset and give equal rights to women, not only in garment factories, but also in other areas.
