From war in Libya to horror in Delhi

History is replete with stories of war. I got a chance to witness the history in making. People, product and process—all brought to a state of halt and chaos. Notwithstanding the disintegration of Libya, I left the place on March 6, 2011. I have no words to express the gratitude I owe to the Indian Embassy More

Chinar Day

I was surprised to know that Chinar Day is really being celebrated in Kashmir, when the same specie  stands vandalized to the greatest extent,  at many places. Let the Government wake up and save this wonderful thing. Merely celebrating the Chinar Day is not going to serve any purpose.

Unfortunate move

I really fail to understand why the Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani won’t attend the India Today Conclave. Citing the presence of the National Security Advisor there is ridiculous. Why is Geelani afraid of the NSA? Doesn’t Geelani have the capacity to share stage with Shiv Shanker More

Timely action

This refers to the news “Breast cancer on rise in Valley.” It should be a matter of concern for one and all. It is time for the Health Department to launch a massive awareness campaign about the deadly disease. It is the responsibility of the state government to aware masses on how they stay away from More

Doing reshuffle

This refers to the recent reshuffle in administration, ahead of the Panchayat Polls in Jammu and Kashmir. As a government employee, I believe such a reshuffle was unfortunate, given the fact that the Assembly Session was on. During the transit period, it becomes difficult for new officials to assume More

In limelight

This refers to the news “Mankotia, Rashid come to blows.” The sanctity of the Assembly House has been demolished. The legislators are just seen fighting over issues. Some of them are even exchanging blows which is not expected from lawmakers. There is a problem with the legislators. They just try to More

Arresting youth

This refers to the news “Arrests won't help.” It is quite regrettable that youth in Kashmir are being arrested and harassed every other day. Even some of them have been booked under PSA. It is also shocking that youth have fled their homes to evade arrests. Such arrests would only add fuel to the fire More

Wasting time

This refers to the news “NC-PDP spar over Dogra rule.” I think the legislators are raising some irrelevant issues in the Legislative Assembly. It makes little sense to discuss Dogra rule at a platform like Assembly which is purely meant to discuss the issues facing people. This year, nothing productive More

Dog menace

It is strange to know that someone is saying “Do not kill dogs in order to have ecological balance.” Then same is applicable to rats and other harmful species. There is not a single dog in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Even if the children in this country are playing with sand castles, they never fall More
