 Letter Published in The National UAE On 3Dec 20 UAE is a role model for the rest of the worldIwrite in reference to the National Editorial A National Day to remember (December 2): it was heartening to read about the Government's recent announcement to introduce reforms to the Commercial Companies' law and expand its 10-year golden visa programme. They will no doubt have come as good news to existing companies, as well as to the many investors looking to enter the UAE market.These changes, along with a host of others in recent times, speak to the long-term vision of the UAE's leaders, as the country navigates choppy waters in a time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the years, the government has enacted important reforms but the recent changes are going to be far-reaching.As someone who once lived in the UAE, I firmly believe that this country gives you everything that is most needed for a good life. I am also of the conviction that it is a country fit to be a role model for others around the world.I wish everyone a Happy National Day.K Ragavan, Bengaluru

UAE: The best place for business start ups

After the recent announcement of Golden Visa to 10 categories, now the UAE has announced 100 per cent ownership for the foreign nationalities (“UAE allows 100% ownership of businesses for foreign nationals from December 1, 2020”, Gulf News, November 23). It is very evident that UAE is moving ahead of times and the long term vision of its leaders is what makes the country remarkable. The existing companies will be happy with this new rule, and also many investors will enter UAE hoping to be a part of it. The country has seen drastic developments over the years, and now this new concept will also bring change. The UAE gives you everything that is most needed for a good life. This country is an idol for success and chance. In less than 50 years, the country transformed from just dunes of sands, to what it is now.

Tribute to Actress Sowcar Janaki 638.

Tribute to Actress Sowcar Janaki – Today, I fondly remember another remarkable personality from the South Indian Film Industry—none other than the legendary actress Sowcar Janaki. With a film career spanning over seven decades, she has acted in more than 400 films across four languages—Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam—a truly commendable achievement. She has shared screen space with many top heroes of her time, including the late Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, A.V.M. Rajan, Srikanth, and leading actors from the Telugu and Kannada industries. She played the heroine in numerous films, carving a distinct identity for herself. If I’m not mistaken, from 1949 to 1975, she was at her peak and made a significant impact in the industry—an undeniable fact. After that period, she gracefully transitioned into a versatile character actress, excelling in a wide range of roles and earning immense respect. Over the years, she has been honored with several prestigious awards, including the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Iru Kodugal, the Rajyotsava Award from the Karnataka Government, the Simha Award, the Kalaimamani Award, and many more. I have had the pleasure of watching many of her remarkable films. A few that stay etched in my memory are: Iru Kodugal, Uyarntha Manithan, Puthiya Paravai, Ethir Neechal, Bhama Vijayam, Pavai Vilakku, Kumudam, Annai, Kadavulai Kanden, Akka Thangai, Bhagyalakshmi, Kasthuri, Paar Magaley Paar, Maanavan, Thunaivan, Needhi, Sibi—and many others that I may not recall at the moment. In Iru Kodugal, her portrayal of the Collector was unforgettable, with impeccable dialogue delivery. In Uyarntha Manithan, her commanding presence and disciplinary role left a lasting impression. She collaborated with the late stalwart K. Balachander on several iconic films. One such gem is Thillu Mullu, where she starred alongside Rajinikanth and the late Thengai Srinivasan—a film that remains fresh in memory. Her journey through cinema, theater, and beyond is nothing short of awe-inspiring. I have been fortunate to meet her on three occasions, and I was always amazed by her knowledge, discipline, and warmth. A good friend of mine introduced me to her, and to this day, I remain in touch. She is not only a friend, philosopher, and guide but also a great conversationalist on any subject. Above all, she is a wonderful human being. A few months ago, I watched her recent film Thambi, where she played the role of a grandmother alongside Karthi, Sathyaraj, and Jyothika. It was heartwarming to see her on screen again. Sowcar Janaki is a versatile, knowledgeable, and beloved figure—not only in the film fraternity but also among millions of her fans. I write this humble tribute with my limited knowledge, and if there are any errors, I kindly ask for your forgiveness. Whenever I meet her, I affectionately call her "Amma", a word she cherishes deeply. Today, I am truly happy to celebrate this versatile and talented actress who has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. — K. Ragavan
