A Comment on US denying visa to our archers fearing 'no-return'

 My Comment on an article "US denies visa to 20 junior archers fearing 'no-return' published in the timesofindia.com Dated 06/06/2015 at 1 pm.


"Very sad to know this. But their concern is also reasonable. 

People go on some work and get settled there. This is one bad habit among most of them in India only. 

One should try to develop his own country by contributing with his talents. He may go for learning or for enjoyment purpose for a shorter period. But should return back and settle in his own country."

A Comment on India to continue receiving FII flows

My Comment on an article "India will continue to attract strong FII flows despite strong growth in US; five reasons" published in the economictimes.com Dated 30/12/2014 at 11:20 am. 


"It is true. 

With our government becoming more liberal towards the policy of FDI and FII and other connected relaxations in trade relations and laws, the investors will definitely see India as a great opportunity for their investments and markets. 

If RBI also enters the field by adopting suitable monetary policies and attractive interest rates, everything will be great for our industrialization and economic development operations."

	''Very sad incidents are taking place in such a big nation as America. Racism is spread all over the corners of the world and it is very difficult to prevent it until each and every individual tries to think humanitarianly instead of identifying people with caste, race, class and color. We should think in terms of one race: That is human race.''

My Comment on article "US authorised NSA to spy on BJP in 2010: Edward Snowden" published in the Economic Times Dated 01/07/2014 at 3:50 pm.


"Even though Snowden might have took pains to leak that BJP has been spied over by NSA, it should have been a well known fact to most of us that US might be indulged in such acts to safeguard its interests and so called security of their country as they think it or make us to think in that way and befool us."

	''Very good reply. Correctly told. No graduate or Engineer earns this much amount at his start of job. The reporters and media should be sensible in reporting things. They think these are breaking news and publish with great pride. They do not even imagine how much they are paying to their maids at home. Very sad state of our media. I pity on their ignorance.''

Any human being is having the right to get medication for his diseases and no one should prevent him from getting his treatment. So drug patents should not be limited to particular companies only. If another one can produce it cheaply they should be allowed.''

A Comment on anti-smoking campaigns

My Comment on a post in the Washington Post titled "FDA unveils its anti-smoking campaign targeting teens" published on 04/02/2014.


"Anti smoking campaigns need much active participation by the campaigners. Mere advertisements and slide shows may not work well. 

Some rehabilitation center or camps should be organized and volunteers need take pains in educating and convincing people regarding the bad effects of smoking on their health as well as their near and dear ones. 

They should be treated step by step by reducing gradually the quantum of smoking or for that reason any kind of tobacco and nicotine products and alcohol also. This kind of exercise can work out some results."

People should learn to give and take respect. There have been many cases of ill treatment and disrespect to our people in US and Canada also. We can't bear it any more. They should learn to treat us as equal with them. Give and take respect.

My Comment on an article titled "Why only few NRIs are shedding tears for Indian Diplomat Devyani Khobragade" published in the Economic Times dated 25/12/2013 at 1:20 pm.


Indian Government should set some norms regarding payments made to the domestic helps of our Diplomats in foreign countries in the cases wherever Indian maids are engaged by them. 

Further they should provide the necessary help required to the diplomats in getting visas and work permits, etc.for their maids. 

It is our Government's responsibility to protect our Diplomats as well as their house maids departed from here.

A good development. Settlement through mutual understanding is the best solution for any dispute rather than going through legal notices. Some give and take may take place. But you will be tension free and also beneficial in such settlements.
