Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 6July 16,A gesture of respect

I still remember a few occasions I spent with my friend on Eid. He invites me every Eid, and I attended twice and enjoyed his hospitality. Once when I couldn’t attend due to some work, at night at 11pm, he knocked on my room and gave me a pocket full of dates, almond and pistachios. I have never forgotten this kindness. Recently, when he visited India, he met up with me and gave me dates, which showed his affection and respect for me.

On this occasion, I am wishing all our friends who are celebrating Eid and wishing them peace and happiness.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 4July 16We need to act

The recent triple attack in the Turkey’s largest airport and the 41 causalities is the latest development from Middle East. Turkey’s Prime Minister was condemning the attack caused by Daesh. After the Brussels Airport attack, this is the second attack in an airport recently and 147 people were injured. Many flights have been cancelled and passengers have been held up in the airport. Turkey needs to investigate this and the guilty should be punished.

Terrorism is increasing day-by-day in all areas, and it’s high time the international community acts on this.

Article 472.

Article Published in The Gulf Today UAE on 2 July 16, ( My Article 472)

No age bar

I have attended many events, but was thoroughly thrilled with our Senior Citizens’ Club function held recently. All our members played their part well, especially from the ladies wing. They proved that they were not only good choreographers, but also competent dancers. One member exhibited his skills in photography by clicking beautiful shots of that day’s programme. Another member suggested ways to help needy people. The message I got that day was that when it comes to contributing to society or making the most of life, there is no age bar. Involvement and personal contentment hold the key.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 2 July 16,Shedding light on the dark statistics of abuse

This was a good read, because the statistics reveal how women working in garment factories have a high probability of being sexually abused (‘One in seven women in Bengaluru garment factories face sexual violence, report says’, Gulf News, June 27). It’s sad, but shedding light on the issue is important. Supervisors and managers working above women staff should behave properly and keep up the reputation of their factory. They should think of their sister or daughter being treated like this, and how would they feel about that. Women should feel happy to work without any fear and they should be respected. Men should change their mindset and give equal rights to women, not only in garment factories, but also in other areas.
