Lucky day Article Published in The Gulf Today,Uae on 30,June 12 (257th Article).

After a gap of three months, I visited my daughter’s place in Bangalore. I also met my friends associated with Senior Citizens’ Club there. The president of the club invited me for its annual day celebrations. I was delighted to watch the talents of elderly men and women. It is evident that age is no bar to genuine talent.

At the programme, I won a prize offering free health check-up at a reputed hospital. That day proved a healthy day for me.

Blame leaders for weak rupee Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 27,June 12

I refer to Steps to halt rupee's slide fail to convince (June 26).

The main reason for the fall of the rupee is the wrong strategy and poor planning by India's leaders.

Investors who used to have confidence in the Indian economy now hesitate to invest. And since no strong measures are being taken, the present crisis may become worse, analysts say. The government of India needs to do better.

Helping hand Article Published in The Gulf Today,Uae on 23,June 12(256)

Watching movies, attending parties and visiting places are hobbies of many in today’s world. Recently I visited a friend and he asked me about my interests. I replied that my passion was writing. When I asked him about his interests, he said that he helped poor students by giving them free books and paying their school fees through reputed voluntary organisations. I was touched by his reply and decided to take up similar work whenever possible.
