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.

The article Italian marines face murder charges for shooting Indian fishermen (February 18) was sad to read. The two innocent civilians were shot in Kerala by the Italian merchant ship guards. Whatever the reasons, this incident is not acceptable.

The comment on Libya was a good read (‘Libya looking for partners', Gulf News, January 19). After so many years, the Libyan people are freed from the dictatorship of Muammar Gaddafi and now it is only logical that they are looking for the progress of their country. One of the world's richest oil nations will overcome the current crisis and regain its original position. I am confident that many countries will come forward and help, and the UAE will certainly play a major role.

Your article Father and daughter found dead in Dubai flat (January 15) was sad and painful to read.

The incident happened in a residential flat in Bur Dubai.

The reason for this is not known but it is a tragedy. The girl’s mother survived with wounds in the hospital. A suicidal motive could be mainly due to the pressure of financial stress or other personal problems.

Life is on express lane these days. Communication is very fast; even if the children are away, parents can see and talk over the Internet. Everyone focuses on career to survive and sustain.

A friend of mine is longing to see his son and grandchildren since the last three years.

Due to preoccupation, his son is not able to make a visit.

All I could tell my friend was that he could take consolation from Internet facilities.

Just three decades ago, even to make a distant phone call was a challenging task.

Tax proposal for NRIs Letter Published in KhaleejTimes ,UAE on 14,Jan12.
14 January 2012

Your article, ‘When NRIs missed a heart beat’ (KT/Jan 12), was interesting to read. To date, NRIs were not disturbed and now the possibility of the Indian government imposing a tax is sad.

Indians are working abroad mainly due to commitments and growth. Because many Indians faced discouragement in pursuing education at home, they departed for foreign shores. Now a new tax imposition will hardly be a welcome factor. I feel that first the black money should be brought back before implementing a tax proposal such as this.

When our normal routine is affected, we get upset. The other day, a friend in Chennai was complaining non-stop about how a cyclone left his schedules haywire.

I explained to him that during such natural occurrences, several people lose their near and dear ones and belongings.

There is a difference between losing nothing and losing important things in life. People hardly count their blessings.

TV saved Article Published in The Gulf Today,on 31.Dec11.(232rd Article.)

I was taking rest on the first floor when I heard a sound downstairs. I rushed to see some children exiting from the main gate.

When asked, they apologised saying that they were playing cricket and the ball had hit the window. Just near the window is a brand new TV I had bought recently in the UAE.

I love the UAE and this TV is hence precious. I thanked God that it was saved. I love children, but wish they would play in open grounds and not near residences.

Letter Published in The National,Uae on 26.Dec11. The article Police warn of hire cars with no insurance (December 25) was both interesting and worrying. Driving a car without insurance is a criminal offence and people who are driving must make sure that they have coverage.

Most of the car rental companies should be also be made to follow proper procedures. They should check the validity period of the insurance periodically to avoid this type of situation. If they don’t, the authorities concerned should also monitor car rental companies more strictly to ensure they apply the right insurance measures, or be punished.

Water for lunch Article Published in The Gulf Today,UAE on 24,Dec 11,(231th Article)

During my morning walk in Chennai, I saw a local train pass by and a childhood incident flashed back in my memory. When I was a student, I used to travel by the suburban train to school. Once, my father had given me a few coins as pocket money.

I kept the coins in my shirt pocket and held them carefully. However, while alighting, someone pushed me and the coins fell. I had not carried my lunch box to school that day hoping to eat outside.

Without the coins, all I could do was take four cups of water from the school tap instead of lunch.

Lesson learnt Article Published in The Gulf Today UAE,on 17,Dec11.(230th Article).

A friend has this habit of talking for hours over the phone. I recently found him a changed man. When prodded, he explained: “My relatives were trying to reach me, but my phone was continuously engaged. It was an emergency as my cousin was admitted to hospital.

The incident left me embarrassed and shocked.”

I hope people who keep chatting unnecessarily take a cue from this.

The news of evergreen Bollywood actor Dev Anand’s death came as a big shock to me. I always considered him a great inspiration. Age never deterred this man. Work and determination were his philosophy. When I was a student, many of my friends copied his hairstyle and trendy style of walking. Dev Anand will always be etched in my memory.
