Focus.Parentral pressure,Face Book debate  This is true to a certain extent. Children have their own ambitions and in my opinion, dreams should not be forced. Nowadays, children are more smart and determined; they have goals and know what they want. Parents can guide them, but should not change their route.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 29April 15,Maritime law crucial for development

The comment in Gulf News about how the Gulf states should back maritime laws, was meaningful and thought-provoking (‘Gulf states should back maritime law’, Gulf News, April 23). The writer has analysed elaborately how the UAE and Gulf states are depending on the sea for a vast majority of their economy. Gulf states should back maritime law for their own economic development.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 28 April 15,Valuing human life in Delhi

This tragic incident of the farmer that committed suicide, took place at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rally in Delhi, India (‘Rajasthan farmer commits suicide at Kejriwal rally’, Gulf News, April 23). Parties are fighting against the land bill and creating such agitation did not help save this innocent farmer from his suffering. Whatever be the compensation, his life has ended. Watching this tragic incident were Delhi’s chief minister and the police, which I find unacceptable. A probe should be conducted and the truth should be voiced. The value of a human life should be respected. Blaming each other is India’s political gimmick.

Fourth century

It would be hard for anyone in India or the UAE not to notice the IPL fever. After all a couple of their matches from last season were played in stadiums in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I hear of people sleeping late watching the favourite teams battle it out at the cricket pitch. I particularly like watching the high sixes on TV.

It got me thinking about the fact that I recently completed my fourth century writing Short Takes. It is quite remarkable that I am a part of the Short Take column for over seven and half years. And I hope to continue.

My Comment in The Hindu India on 24April 15,The 37Year old Indian Dr Vivek Murthy was honoured as Surgeon General and he is the youngest and 19th Surgeon in Obama's Public Health is remarkable.Born in a farmer's family and created a big impact in US is laudable.Indians are acknowledged Globally is great To raise to this position is not a easy task. His records and delivery made him to this POsition..Kudos to Dr Vivek Murthy. K.Ragavan Bengaluru
