A Comment On UN Vote Recognizes State Of Palestine

	Your comment on the article ''UN vote recognizes state of Palestine, US objects'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com dated 30/11/2012. My comment:
	''A very good news. By approving the " non-member observer " status to Palestine with a over whelming majority, UN has shown its willingness to accept Palestine as a State. US and Israel should shed off their hostility and accept the reality and grant Palestinian Statehood. I hope they will be prudent enough to take steps in this direction as soon as possible.''

	''This strikes like selling and marketing. You are not imparting education but selling it to who-ever pays more. What a Anarchy!!! The very purpose and definition of education is corrupted. Education is the right of every body whether poor or rich. No status should come in between it. When the basic foundation of education is being based on the gap between rich and poor, then what value does it have for students? Can such students be expected to be moral and ethical in their values of life and society?''

A Comment On Why Innocent People Are Killed In Natural Disasters

My comment on a blog by  Meena Om  "  Why innocent people are killed  in natural  Disasters "  in  Speaking Tree.com on 28/11 2012.

Natural calamities are just like other instruments of Death. Death comes to every body. It has no disparity. It comes through different means. One such means is natural disaster. So you can't question it. Death has to take place. Whether it is through some illness, accident, natural disaster or any other means. There is no question of innocent people being killed. It is performing its duty according to predetermined destiny of the person that is killed. This fact has been emphasized here by Meena Omji .

	''I do agree that there should be some norms and guide lines set up for surfing social net working sites as well as for our print media and telecast media. Everything has got hatch-patch and requires some systematic control. Every where there is gross indiscipline and lack of prudence. You talk, write or expose whatever comes to you. There is no decency and no feeling of respect for others around you and in the society. This tendency of our generation should go and we should develop some healthy practices. And at the same time, our legal and criminal code of conduct and laws should be redefined to suit the present environment.''

A Comment On Teenagers Spending More Time On Social Networking Sites

My comment on an article in The Economic Times dated 23/11/2012 at 10:30 am.
Dear Reader,Your comment is now displayed on economictimes.com.
 Please  view it on the website. And do keep writing in.

My Comment:
  Whereas it is a good thing that our teenagers are becoming more and more efficient in handling computers and advanced technologies, I think that there should be some vigilance over their net working activities. They should be acquainted with our social and ethical norms, our moral and spiritual values, and ample idea of our great heritage and culture. They should be able to differentiate between good and bad, moral and immoral, ethical and unethical and sensible and insensible, etc.

A Comment On Cheap Late Night Calls Plans Offered By Telecommunications

	Your comment on the article ''Cheap late night calling plans promoting vulgarity: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com dated 22/11/2012 at  2 pm.
	''A good step taken by Pakistan government. In the present environment of continuously increasing vulgarity, there should be some sort of moral and ethical policing. This is very important for our teenage boys and girls equally. There should be some watch over their actions and reactions, but to some extent of freedom. So it is a welcome step taken by Pakistan. But what about India? Are our authorities also interested in safe guarding their country's social and ethical values? If so, then let us also follow the step taken by Pakistan.''

Another Comment on Why We Need To Remember God

My further comment on an article in Speaking Tree Blog dated 18/11/2012 at 12 pm

Venkat Acharya  posted a response on the article Why We Need To Remember God

"We can not escape remembering him at any one point of time. Because we are possessing only some limited capacities and can not face all situations. Life is a very long journey full of ups and downs. When there are ups you forget God and think every thing is the fruit of your endeavour. But whenever you face downfalls you want some one to turn to. First you will turn to your father, mother,kin or friends for help. But when no body is able to solve your problem, you find no other solution but turn to God and request his help. But why don't you do this in the beginning itself. Why don't you remember God whenever you go to perform your duties? When we have have ultimately no other solution but God, it is better we experience his need and presence at the beginning itself."

A Comment On Holy Ganga Getting Polluted

Venkat Acharya posted a response on the article Serving the Ganga

"A good posting. Our Holy Ganga is getting polluted day by day and it is the need of the hour to stop further pollution. Our government and NGO's should take immediate steps to prevent pollution. 24 hours vigilance is to be kept all along the river basin by arranging check posts at all routes to the river basin and prevent pollution. No body should be allowed with any kind of debris to approach the holy Ganga. They should be fined and prosecuted. This immediate step can prevent further contamination of the holy waters."

"A very nice article. We always need to remember God because we are nothing without him. Every action that we perform, we are performing because God prompts us to do so. Without his will we can not lift even a needle. All that we think great of ourselves and boast to others that I can do this and I can do that is all because of God is wishing and prompting us to act. We must remember him just like you are remembering your mother or father in times of helplessness."

Comment on Rama's limitations in Ramayana

My comment on an article by Rajiv Barnala in Speaking Tree Blog dated 10/11/2012 at 6 pm

Venkat Acharya posted a response on Rajiv Barnala's blog Ramayana a Story without any Hole

"First of all, every one should know that God has taken the form of Rama with some limitations. He wanted to teach the common man how to live a good and pious life. For this purpose, he behaved like a common man with all emotions and limitations. Even though he was aware of all his supernatural and divinely powers, he practiced the simple life of a good king and and performed all his duties with human consciousness. He never displayed his divinity. We are forgetting this point and unnecessarily blaming God."

A Comment On The Need For Listening To Your Conscience

My comment on an article by Meena Om in The Speaking Tree blog on 10/11/2012 at 4:50 pm

Venkat Acharya posted a response on Meena Om's blog Why is it important to listen to one's conscience?

"Pranam Meenaji  ! Listening to our consciousness always leads to betterment. But most of us get flown by our momentary emotions like ego, anger, desire, etc. Escaping these and becoming aware of our consciousness requires our will power. This will power is missing in most of us. Once we get strong enough to listen to our consciousness, we realize how foolish we have been all this period."

My Comment On an Article On Unhealthy Practices In Bollywood

My comment on an article in the Times of India edition dated 13/11/2012 at 7pm The Times Of India

Dear Reader,

Your comment on the article ''Mother of all Bollywood fights this Diwali'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com.

''This is a very bad way of competition between producers. Booking majority of screens for their releases and leaving left outs to others. It does not reflect healthy competition. There should be some guide lines to prevent such malpractices. The ultimate sufferers are actual viewers. They are forced to watch a particular movie instead of the other due to unavailability of seats. This is utter " injustice".

Your comment on the article ''Don't treat Sachin Tendulkar with too much respect: James Anderson'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com.

''James Anderson's remark is some what not warranted for. Saying that he does not have too much respect for Sachin Tendulkar is some what offensive language. He should not have quoted this. What is the need for him to say that he doesn't have too much respect. Who asked him whether he had too much respect or not? Such remarks only denigrate the person commenting and show some what of inferiority complex.''

Your comment on the article ''Narendra Modi behind anti-Gadkari campaign, says RSS leader Vaidya'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com.

''Senior RSS leader MG Vaidya accuses Narendra Modi in public of being the person behind Nitin Gadkari's tarnished image. But at the same moment he is saying that Ram Jethmalani should not have accused Nitin Gadkari in Public. Is n't it ridiculous!! With one voice he says that he is entitled to express that Narendra Modi is behind the attackers of Nitin Gadkari and with other voice he says that the other man has no right to say any thing in public. Very silly ! Politics has become a childish game in the hands of our politicians. Very sad!''

A Comment on Ram Jethmalani's Comment on "Rama Was A Bad Husband"

	A comment on Ram Jethmalani's comment in the Times of India edition dated  The Times Of India
	Dear Reader,
	Your comment on the article ''I don't like Ram, he was a bad husband: Jethmalani'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com.
	''Yes, indeed he was correct in saying that Rama was a bad husband because he put her to test of Agnipariksha and even after that he abandoned her to her fate. It was only due to Lav and Kush that he happens to meet her again and pleads for her return. But Sita does not return and ends her avatar. But simply because that Rama was not a good husband, you can't deny his divinity. He was a moral and example for purity and goodness. He cared for his father, mothers, brothers, his subjects and for his people always. You must know that he has taken avatar for the destruction of demons and for establishing peaceful and pleasant life to the mankind.''

A Comment On Pakistan helping Terrorists

Dear Reader,

Your comment on the article ''Pakistan helping terrorists to enter our territory: Sushilkumar Shinde'' is now displayed on timesofindia.com.

''It is not new. Terrorists have always been infiltrating into our country through Pakistan border. But their government does not endorse it. So there is no point in asserting the same thing again and again. Instead of mere accusations, our government should take drastic steps to prevent their infiltration and to combat them immediately if unavoidable. You please take the action direct and not simply act as a reporter of the situation. Because the actual situation is already known to we common man. So instead of telling the common man that there is infiltration of terrorists through some route, please tell us what you are going to do with the situation and chalk out the strategy and assure the people there is nothing to worry.''

Comment On TV Channels News Projecting

My comment on an article by Shobhaa De in Deccan Chronicle News Paper dt 17/11/2012

The TV channels are resorting to projecting day-to-day trivial affairs as breaking news and cashing on it. They repeatedly flash the " Breaking News " banner on the screens while presenting the news adducing the viewers to eagerly concentrate on the screens. But all those breaking news turn out to be daily happening routine matters of some rape at a particular place, some robbery, some political clash, some fire accident or some burning of vehicles and property in mob violence etc. All these things have become very common now and projecting them as breaking news naturally spreads more hatred and violence in society. So some thing should be done to change the mentalities of our broadcasting media and the people in general.

Comment On Balasaheb's dignity

Venkat Chari has left a new comment on the post "Balasaheb by Shobhaa De"

Faceless apprentice and some others who represent Bala Saheb Thackeray as a villain and shame to society should learn that he was not the cause of what all happened under his guise. It is the mob and mob may include us also who are responsible for all riots and violence and deaths. So they should learn to respect people and don't dig their characters.
