MY CITY MY TAKE
EROSION OF BELIEFS IN NATURAL WORSHIPS
CREATE MORE AWARENESS
True. Earlier lot of trees and forests was preserved.After the belief erosion,lot of trees and forests vanished.
Forest department as well the government should come forward to preserve trees and forests.In city many trees are being destroyed.The government should create more awareness about the importance of trees and forests.This issue is very significant in today's life.

Real King
Prabhu Chawla's' Power &Politics(TNSE  January 5) was meaningful and thought provoking.Despite his opportunity to serve the country for two tenures Man Mohan Singh has miserably failed in not delivering.His personal integrity is not going to pay any dividends to the people.His failure to deliver and unwanted comment on Narendra Modi  was unacceptable. He is really a king in  not proving  his credentials.

Singh's sincerity laudable, not his remarks on ModiI   I enjoyed reading the article Indian PM will step down and says Modi is a disastrous candidate (January 4).

At a press conference, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh acknowledged his inability to control inflation, unemployment and corruption.

I appreciate his sincerity in accepting his failure to fulfil the promises he made to the people of India. But I think he should have stopped there. Instead of doing so, he went on to make an unwarranted remark about Narendara Modi, saying that it would be “disastrous” if he became prime minister.

During his two tenures as prime minister, Mr Singh failed miserably and his party was completely defeated in four states during the recent elections. That shows that his party has lost trust among people.

The truth is that Mr Modi has, at least, proven his ability in one state, while Mr Singh has not been able to do so. Even as an economist he has not been able to show any thing over the past nine years. Now he should leave the decision to choose the next leader to the people.

Today people are more powerful than ever. For proof, Mr Singh and his party need not look beyond the capital, where the Aam Admi Party has been brought to power.

‘Write’ pproach         Article Published in The Gulf Today Uae on 4 Dec 13(333)

A couple of friends met me on New Year eve and discussed about their resolutions.

Some said they would give up coffee or sweets.  Another said he would watch TV only for a stipulated time and not long hours.

One friend’s resolution was interesting.

He wanted to give up anger, as he was short-tempered.

When they all prodded me about my resolution, I said as a retired employee I wanted to highlight social causes by increasing the number of letters I write to newspapers.

I am happy that they not only applauded my decision, but also encouraged me not to give up.
