Letter.

 Letter Published in The National UAE on 10June 21Coping with grief by helping others

With regard to Ramola Talwar Badam's report Covid-19: Indian expat who lost eight relatives in 22 days backs aid campaign (June 8): this story was a grim read. Covid-19 has created so many complications in people's lives. Besides the emotional toll of losing loved ones, the death of family members, especially earning members, affects practical matters like finances. There are many layers to grief. And while time does help, these are irreparable losses.

It's commendable that so many philanthropic organisations are helping ease the burden on those affected by Covid-19 – and that this lady, Juhi Khan, with such a heavy burden of grief is trying to help others.

Tribute to Dr Indu Degrulker 665.

Tribute to Dr. Indu Deglurkar 665 Today, I am honored to pen a tribute to an inspiring personality from the medical profession—Dr. Indu Degrulker. She is one of the few women who has achieved her ambitious goal of becoming a cardiac thoracic surgeon, which is truly laudable. Many individuals have dreams and aspirations in their childhood but may not achieve them due to various reasons. However, Dr. Indu aspired to become a surgeon and achieved her dream, which is truly remarkable. In such a highly competitive environment with rigorous selection procedures, her success is another inspiring story. The cardiac thoracic profession, historically dominated by men, has seen very few women enter the field, but Dr. Indu has broken that barrier. Her accomplishment is a lovely and inspiring story for all. Indians are acknowledged for their contributions in all walks of life on the global stage, and Dr. Indu is no exception. Not only has she made her family proud, but she has also brought honor to India by occupying a significant position in the field of cardiac surgery as a female surgeon. Her recent interview on YouTube, which garnered thousands of views and positive comments, is very much appreciated by all who watched it. Before concluding, I am happy to mention that Dr. Indu is my cousin, and our entire family is extremely proud of her achievements. I had the pleasure of meeting her three decades ago in Vijayawada, where I was working before her departure to the UK for her studies. I wish Dr. Indu, her husband Dr. Degrulker, and their son a bright, beautiful, and healthy life filled with success in both their personal and professional lives. Today, I am truly happy to pay tribute to this impressive, inspiring personality who not only achieved her dreams but has also become a role model for others. K. Ragavan 6-6-2021

Vaccine Shortage.

 India's corvid 19 immunisation drive falters amid vaccine shortage  The on going vaccine crisis shortage for people and the India 's top Judiciary Supreme Court criticized the Modi Government's action on vaccine immunisation ,.First of all people should understand India is a vast country and this second wave made lot of havocs in all aspects viz Cyclone and other diseases and above all shortage of vaccines despite two leading brands manufactured because of the huge population in India to be inoculated because of the speedy spread of Second wave. Any government at this juncture can not act because of the available resources. However India is trying it's best to overcome this crisis trying to procure from other sources and as soon as possible this may be solved.

Another incident.

 Another shocking incident after the recent California shooting in the US As per the authorities .this time this incident was targeted .The US Biden administration must stop the licence culture to avoid in the future this type of incidents.Even targeting or killing human beings in public places are highly unacceptable. Another sad and painful incident in Florida.I was praying i should not see this type of news every day in papers but not happening.

The guilty should be booked and severe punishment should be given.Will President Biden take up this call and save innocent people who stays in US?
