Old habits

die hard

After settling down in my Indian home town, I am amazed to note the influence of the UAE print media. I received a call from my friend mentioning that a journalist wanted to talk to me.

"Regarding what? I asked.

"You have been contributing your views in the UAE media. My friend wants to be acquainted with you."

I was remembering a proverb "Old habits die hard." My habit of contributing letters and articles will also continue.

AFEW days ago, I received

calls from my

friends congratulating me

for an interview I had

given to a noted Malayalam

TV channel. The

credit for the interview

goes to The Gulf Today. I

have contributed more

than 100 Short Takes

without a break and this

was brought into focus at

the interview. I was happy

to see my favourite The

Gulf Today’s articles exhibited

in the programme.

A friend fondly asked me,

“How are you, Short Take

man? Even though I have

shifted to my home country,

my mind is still in the

UAE.

Your articleFresh charges against Justice Dinakaran was sad.Acquiring more houses in individual name is a crime,and this crime was done by a Justice is strongly condonmed one.Law ers ,instead of protecting the law,should not take law in to their hands.Indian politics any thing may happen ,because ours is a Democratic nation.

Telecom Minister's charges.

Recently i read in one Leading Indian Newspaper mentioning Telecom Minister should be sacked was meaningful and thought provoking.Ministers should know their responsibilities and limitations.Violating the Position's code and Power is a Criminal act.After the CBI ,investigation why Govt.is not taking appropriate action.Will the Present UPA Got.bring Justice to the accused is to be wait and see. In Politics any thing may happen at any time.People with Power and responsibility should act diplomatically.

Very nice and Meaning ful article.Michael Moore is one of the Few Film personalities ,boldly express his views against the Previous Bush administration.Ihave seen two of his earlier films,which bold ly criticise the old administration against iraq policy and medical insurance.Journalism should be neutral and i appreciatr your issue.

This is veryunfortunate.Avast country with various task forces could n’t control maosits .On the other hand they are dictating terms to the Govt.People are the sufferer.Home Ministry should speed up this important issue.
