Comment regarding first budgertpublished in the Hindu Tamil on 25June 14.

முதல் பட்ஜெட்டில் மிக பிரமாதமாக எதிர்பார்ப்புகள் இருந்தாலும் அவர் சொன்னது போல் கூன் விழுந்த பழைய அரசின் முறை கேட்டான செயல்களினால் ஒன்றும் பண்ண முடியாது. கால போக்கில் எதிர் பார்க்கலாம். ரயில் பட்ஜெட் மிக பெரிய அடியை மக்களுக்கு கொடுத்தது .ஆகவே அதிகமாக எதிர் பார்க்கவேண்டாம் . ஆனால் முந்திய அரசு போல் இருக்காது. ரோம் ஒரு தினத்தில் உருவாக வில்லை .அது போல் இவர் கண்டிப்பாக மக்களுக்கு நன்மை செய்வார் என்று எதிர் பார்க்கலாம்.

ராகிங் கொடுமை இன்னும் கல்லூரிகளில் இருந்து வருவது மிக கொடுமை. கல்லூரிகளும் ,அரசாங்கமும் ,இதற்கு ஒரு முற்று புள்ளி வைக்க வேண்டும். மாணவர்கள் கல்லூரிகளில் படிக்க போவது ,ஒரு நல்ல எதிர் காலத்திற்காக.இனியும் இந்த மாதிரி சம்பவங்கள் நேராமல் , காப்பது ,மாணவர்கள் ,மற்றும் அரசாங்கத்தின் தலையாய கடமையாகும். மாணவர்கள் நம் தேசத்தின் வருங்கால முன்னோடிகள். 
அவர்களை பாதுகாக்க வேண்டியது நமது கடமை.

Modify System
Your Power & Politics (TNIE,June 22) by Prabhu Chawla made for a nice and meaningful read. In Six decades the Planning Commission and it's execution  has   not been satisfactory.On the one hand,it allowed sizeable expenditure and on  the other ,nepotism grew.The new Prime Minister should modify this system for better accountability and over all development of the country.

Life is Beautiful 221.

Murthy reached his office after finishing his lunch on the way from home.M urthy wanted to meet his MD to discuss about the new product which he got the approval from CFTRI. He came to Mr Srivatsa's cabin ,but he was not there.His secretry told him that he has gone out will be back in the afternoon.By that time Murthy received a call from Raj
Sorry ,Murthy i could n't talk because of traffic.Now i   am free.
Murthy.Thank you Raj,I was also feeling the same  that i could not talk to you.
Raj.I was rushing to  a friend's place to find out his where about's.He is a Civil engineer working in Iraq.
Murthy.I read in the papers some Indians are abducted.
Raj,\.My friend is there for the past two years,but this sudden development no one anticipated.His family has not received  no communication from him for the past two days.
Murthy.What you think about the present Govt Will they act immediately.
Raj.Yes,they have already taken action on this and they were promised our people are safe.
Murthy.Unless and Untill if they come back then only we will be happy.
Raj.You are right Murthy.In this case i am confident they will come back.
Murthy.But the recent  rail fare was Unjustifiable.
Raj.You are right,As a Journalist i strongly Condemn this drastic hike.They could have  rised  few percentage instead of 14.2%.
Murthy.Will they consider to revert.
Raj.I do n't think ,but this  will have  a impact among people who was having hopes on this new government.But i am not ruling out the hopes on this government but this is not a right decision at this Juncture.
Murthy.Yes,What  other news
Raj.Nothing,I was worried about my friend in Iraq.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 23 June 14 A remarkable culture of giving

I am not surprised to learn that the UAE’s donation to the world’s refugees last year amounted to Dh2.6 billion (UAE gives Dh2.6bn aid to refugees, June 21). That is because helping the poor and the needy is part of the UAE’s culture, so much so that it stands out prominently among other countries in the world. It all started at the time of Sheikh Zayed. This is something remarkable.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 22 June 14No way to prevent boat accidents

Your story Nine dead, 27 missing after boat sinks off Malaysia was disturbing (June 19). I wonder why people smugglers take the risk of overloading boats even when accidents happen frequently.

Boat accidents in various parts of the world have made headlines in recent months. Unfortunately, nothing much can be done unless the carriers themselves become cautious and stop taking too many passengers on board.
