Debating the impact of the internet
Readers debate whether the internet is good for society or not
Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 16Aug 15,Playing a helping role

The internet plays a major role in society. People are coming closer together, with its introduction. One has to take it in a positive spirit and use it sensibly. Facebook is playing a vital role for over a billion people to be able to communicate with each other and be closer. I believe that the internet is useful and the risk of it dominating its users is becoming lesser. It is, in fact, really helping people.

Friendly gesture

Being involved with social associations or clubs can have a positive influence on one’s life. Recently, I was unable to attend some meetings and my friends were deeply concerned as to why I was absent. I explained to them that due to prior engagement I could not make it for the programmes. I was touched by their concern and it gave me immense joy. Being a senior citizen, it feels great to be treated by friends so warmly.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 14August 15,Looking forward to the visit

This is in reference to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UAE. UAE and India have had good ties in terms of both bilateral and trade. Modi’s visit will certainly strengthen the existing ties. Many expatriates, including Indian nationals, have been living in the UAE for decades and will be happy to listen to his address. Any country’s development lies on its people and the relationship with the neighbouring countries. I hope Modi’s visit will be fruitful.

Letter Published in Gulf news UAE on 10Aug 15,Parliament isn’t a playground

The Gulf News story about 25 Congress party lawmakers being suspended for five days, was good to read (‘Speaker suspends Congress lawmakers for five days’, Gulf News, August 4). More than a fortnight passed, with a logjam in the Indian Parliament and the opposition parties misbehaving in the House, resulting in the suspension of 25 members. Despite mixed reactions and the ‘Black Day’ comment by Congress party president Sonia Gandhi, I feel the decision taken by the Speaker was good and would help in conducting the House calmly in the future. Politicians should not think the House is a playground for them. I hope in the coming days, the functioning of the Parliament will go smoothly.
