Israeli-Palestinian trust can improve             Letter Published in The National,Uae on 8 Feb 13

Fewer Israeli soldiers charged with crimes against Palestinians (February 6) was interesting to read. This could create confidence among Palestinians.

Decades of conflict between these two neighbouring states should come to an end. Israel can play a role in Middle East stability. I hope the coming days will be better for people on both sides of the border.

Acts of violence benefit no one                Letter Published in The National,Uae on 5 Feb 13

It’s sad that an innocent life was lost in a suicide attack on the US Embassy in Ankara ( Bomb hits US mission in Turkey, February 2). Such attacks are meaningless and need to be condemned.
These people are enemies of peace. No one gains anything through violence. People, as well as leaders across the world, should unite to fight against violence, a phenomenon which is increasingly making lives difficult for the majority of the people around the world. K Ragavan, India

Regional Sway                        Letter Published in The New Indian Express ,India on 4Feb 13

Prabhu chawla's ,The Great Recokoning in 2014 But Next Prime Minister will Emerge This Year  was meaningful to read.Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi are the much talked names for the prime ministerial candidate for 2014. One shouldnot expect drastic changes in the present scenario and regional parties will hold a sway in 2014 as well.

State bans Muslim ‘terrorist’ film (February 1) was disappointing. The film has been directed and co-produced by the versatile actor, Kamalahasan.

It’s sad that the film has sparked protests from the Muslim community.

I am sure there are some scenes in the film that the community has found objectionable.

But I hope the film will be released soon. Millions of his fans are eagerly waiting to watch it. K Ragavan, India

Article 287.

Forgotten gift                 Article Published in The Gulf Today ,Uae on 2 Feb 13(287).

There’s nothing like a personal chat with friends for elderly people like me. During one such recent sessions, a friend shared a funny incident that happened with him. 
He had attended a relative’s wedding and had a gala time. It was only when he reached back home that he realise he had not passed on his neatly-packed gift. I remembered how another friend had gifted a Rs500 note thinking it to be Rs100. He regretted his carelessness grumbling about it for a week.
