Beating the summer 250 years ago

Not a single newspaper/magazine is there which has not published something regarding Indo-Pak relations. No doubt, without solving the 'K' issue there is no change of improvement of the relationship. But what is the meaning of 'resolving' the issue. Certainly, Pakistan would like to see it as a separate country if not merged with Pakistan. If by chance, it accepts its so-called 'freedom' from the Indian Government by keeping all rights with itself except foreign relations/defence or one or two departments more, or if by any chance this situation would also be acceptable by the Indian Government then what about the other States? This issue needs something more concrete than 'discussions'.

Summer vacations are here and readers would be delighted if you could provide some information about various hill stations. However, it should be complete in all forms, like trains, air routes, names and tariff of hotels, etc.

I have seen cartoon-based stories in various magazines, especially abroad. In your story of May 16, 2003, (Shape of Woman Power to Come) the cartoons in the story seem competent to do justice to the story.

It is good to see that The DayAfter, May 16, 2003, has highlighted the good and positive aspects of Shatrughan Sinha who has been at the receiving end of the media ever since he became a Minister. He has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Editor-in-Chief of The Dayafter should be congratulated for taking such a bold and brave stand in posing clever and pointed questions that revealed the true Shatrughan Singh.

Tourism is one of the major aspects of the Indian economy and a good source of income to the National Exchequer. India has everything to offer to the foreign tourist, and many other things that are unique to this country. Yet because of lack of infrastructure and facilities and inadequate policing to prevent tourists being harassed by beggars and fleeced by unscrupulous shopkeepers the image of tourism is being tarnished. While developing tourism in the South, which is now the new destination, care should be taken that the ills that have overtaken tourism in the north are not allowed to develop . It must be remembered that tourists are our guests

A good editorial. Please keep up the provocative 'My View" in the same manner. I find the editorials are well written and always set me thinking.
