Sir, The people in the city are scared of "getting help". This holds good in almost all the countries. Especially in India, most of those who live in rich urban centres seek neither help nor come forward to help others due to various reasons. But in rural areas, people are more homely and very helpful and it comes natural to them to help others without making others feeling "getting help". No one in independent. All of us are interdependent. We need to learn to live for others and for all of us. All of us are human beings basically, even though we speak different languages. Our problems are same, our limitation are not different and our goals in life are same.

Sir, The death is inevitable and it is same for one and all, Paying tributes to departed soul, which is devoid of all limitations of human beings, is the only sign of human civilisation. Let death divide not the borders and destroy human sanctity

Sir, No one knows who discovered drinks and it has a devastating effect on hundreds of poor and downtrodden families. The time has come for prohibition all over the world. The drinking is as dangerous as smoking. Smoking kills the person who smokes, but drinking destroy the self and the family.

Sir, It is unfortunate that Citi and UBS have drawn the attention of many countries for wrong reasons. In the name of globalisation, many banks wash their dirty linen on other shores and hide true colour and picture. The banks which involve in global money laundering are responsible for poverty and increasing corruption, besides collapse of many banks. The privatisation without accountability, business wtihout ethics, business leadership without moral responsibility, business leaders wtihout national spirit would lead to national disaster and global downfall. There are very few organisations and financial institutions which have contributed for growth and development for the people. In the name of wealth maximisation, profit is exported and profit alone is the criteria for efficicency. The business today is nothing but greed and individual growth at any cost-cost of people, community, nation, environment and natural resources

Sir, The time has come for the whole world to act against nuclear disaster. The only way to put an end is to consume less of energy and food. We need to live with simple food, that is not possible without spiritual understanding of our life and purpose for which we are all here. The earth is one and it is logical that we are all one inspite of our different culture and languages we speak. Too much of materialism has endangered our future and we seemed to have not understood the beauty of Nature and simple living. It is shocking that growth implies materialism and materialism means more consumption,

Sir, We are in search of happiness wrongly thinking that materialism and materialist pursuits would give us happiness. We cant be happy by searfhing happiness in objects and materialism The happiness is not in any objects nor it is purchasable. The costliest cost is not the assurance for good sleep. Definitely materialism is the solution for our happiness. That is why, our ancestors, lead a simple living and high thinking.

The greaterst beauty of politicians all over the world is they tell lies all the time for the people, by the people and of the people, so they they live comfortably without knowing anything about economics and art of governance. They sell the conscience and sell our self-respect in the name of globalisation. They look busy and take our life lightly and their lives seriously.

Sir, It is touching to see the dog's behaviour and all of us the human beings should hang our head in shame. We fight like street dogs, bark like dogs and end up losing our lives. We have to remove the word "dont bark like dogs" word from our dictionary. All of us learnt to live for others.

Sir, Even though texting is quicker and faster, nothing like listening to the voice, which establishes rapport very easy and it provides emotional support and brings people closer to oneself. The conversation tends to be too boring, when it extends more than required. So too wtih texting, there is a life beyond texting.

Sir, Mr.Obama while permitting mosque near ground zero would have thought of ultimate human behaviour, since human beings are basically good and believe in values of life, even though many religious fanatics in the name of their religion fight, kill and loot in order to reach heaven. The religions are meant to know truth and be good to one and all.

Sir, The Nobel Peace Prize to Obama is neither seems to be justified nor appropriate. If Obama can be given, then India deserves most, because it is fighting for non-prolifieration of nuclear arms without bowing to the pressures of so called developed countries. Mr.Obama has just taken over the reins of US and needs to prove both within and outside USA. By giving the nobel prize to Obama, the Nobel committee seems to have compromised its principles.

It is unfortunate that in Japan, a mother is killed by her own son for the sake of tv remote. This shows other side of prosperous Japan, known for tradition and culture. It is time that we should learn to respect our family members and fellow citizens.

Sir, The television would continue to play its role as "idiot box" and it would continue to take away the prime time of family. It is unfortunate that television has killed the hobby of reading.
