Dear Reader,
Your comment on the article 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan package- What's coming your way?' is now live on timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog.
' it\'s comforting to see someone expressing views different from those repeated by established \"experts\". we need experts, to guide us. but, when going gets tough, we need people who can think independently of their text book knowledge. as details are revealed and the impact of the new package percolates, i\'m sure, the package announced by pm on may 12, 2020 will have a multiplier effect on growth and economic development.'

Mini Krishnan oversees translation of books for Oxford University Press. Translation from world languages has enriched Indian language literatures like Malayalam literature immensely.
Perhaps, the first serious translated work in India which brought name and fame to the author of the book, the book and its translator, possibly is Gitanjali by Rabindranatha Tagore (Translation to English from original Bengali was by the author himself).

' \"p\" for positive. as a senior citizen (age 75 plus), last few weeks, i had opportunity to interact with several people in different age groups. yesterday a 94 year old friend whom i contacted had this to say : \" in a month or so, we may be able to go out. but, by then, it\'ll be rainy season. three more months, we may have to remain inside. exercise karenge...aisa baat karenge..
