Well -presented and People -friendly
Arun Jaitley's well presented Budget is people-friendly over -all.laying focus on rural infrastructure,SC/ST development and not furthering taxes imposed on the salaried. Three-year tax exemption  for start -ups is also a major positive point.Its drawbacks include ignoring inflation and the lack of immediate job opportunities for the young.

Grand dream

Children have a sharp memory. The other day my eight-year-old grandson was murmuring in his sleep remembering my mother.

She used to comment on his walk saying, “You always walk like a king.” He was whispering, “Oh, how nice you great grandma. I miss you.”

I was taken by surprise and remembered how he used to sing and dance in front of my mother when she was alive imitating some actors. Some bonds are amazing and I really feel the falling apart of the joint family system is a bane for the new generation.

Workable budget

Sir, The 2016-17 Railway Budget was well presented by the Suresh Prabhu. Lot of new innovations, infrastructure and expansion of new routes have been highlighted, and one hopes that these modest plans are implemented without any obstacles. Above all, no increase in passenger fares and the hike in senior citizens quota by 50%, with more preference for lower berth, is laudable.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 26 Feb 16,On the path of literature

Parents are always fond of monitoring their children’s growth, both physically and mentally. They instil the great habit of reading when they are young, and that guides them to the right path of reading, helping them go for more innovative books in later years.
