Sir,
Sub: Mockery of Justice

This is in the reference with on going trial of dangerous terrorist 'Ajmal Amir Kasab'. Nearly one year back on 26/11/08 the whole world witnessed the dance of terror which left thousand dead and unknown figure of injured and a huge destruction in Mumbai. There is no need to elaborate the horror of this incident because the whole world watched whole drama on TV set. There was live coverage; thousands of video footage is there which is telling the whole story of this massacre. But since now ten months have passed and nothing has been done into this case.


Is there any doubt in the role of Ajmal Amir Kasab in this heinous act? Why he has not been punished yet. What are the authorities waiting for, are they waiting for some kind of trading. So, that Ajmal Amir Kasab’s fellow terrorists kidnap some prominent leaders relative and they can get the release of kasab. So many similar incidents has happened in past. When the terrorist got release of other terrorist in prison, in exchange of some high profile political leader’s abducted relative. Committing mistakes is not wrong but falling in same pit again and again is an act of foolishness and destruction. Before it gets too late this is right time when our country wake up and ensure that similar incidents don’t take place in future.


I request authorities to punish the guilty and ensure justice otherwise, ‘Ajmal Amir Kasab’ will be free one day and will continue to be threat to the whole of the humanity.

Thanking you,
Yours truly,

(S. Kavitha)

Writing Instructions

Instructions to be followed by people living in areas under risk of tsunami are:

• Find out if your home, school, workplace, or other frequently visited locations are in tsunami hazard areas.
• Know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast or other high-risk waters. Evacuation orders may be based on these numbers
• Plan evacuation routes from your home, school, workplace, or any other place
You could be where tsunamis present a risk. If possible, pick areas (30 meters) above sea level or go as far as 3 kilometers inland, away from the coastline. Follow posted tsunami evacuation routes; these will lead to safety. Local emergency management officials can advise you on the best route to safety and likely shelter locations.
• Find out what the school evacuation plan is if your children's school is in an identified inundation zone. Find out if the plan requires you to pick your children up from school or from another location. Telephone lines during a tsunami watch or warning may be overloaded and routes to and from schools may be jammed.
• Practice your evacuation routes. Familiarity may save your life. Be able to follow your escape route at night and during inclement weather. Practicing your plan makes the appropriate response more of a reaction, requiring less thinking during an actual emergency situation.
• Use a Weather Radio or stay tuned to a local radio or television station to keep informed of local watches and warnings.
• Talk to your insurance agent. Homeowners' policies may not cover flooding from a tsunami. Ask about the Flood Insurance Program.
• Discuss tsunamis with your family. Everyone should know what to do in a tsunami situation. Discussing tsunamis ahead of time will help reduce fear and save precious time in an emergency. Review flood safety and preparedness measures with your family.

Dear Mr Manojkumar:

I am pleased and honoured by the invitation to participate in the symposium organized by your college, which is to be held in SSN College of Engineering, October 5-10,2009.

I must apologize for the slight delay in replying to your letter. I have just returned from Delhi after a conference and did not have your address at hand. I did write, however, to Mr Salivahanan, who is to be organiser of the session in which I was invited.

I very much regret to say that it will not be possible for me to make any major trip in the autumn owing to bad health. The only thing I can do is send a few comments to Mr Salivahanan for him to use as he sees fit. Needless to emphasize that - were my health better - I should be delighted to attend your symposium, which promises to be a great event. Thank you once more for honouring me with your invitation.

With every good wish for the success of the symposium.

Yours sincerely,

Benefits of the Internet

The Internet has been around for more than two decades. As time went on, more and more people are connected to the Internet because they have discovered that the Internet is beneficial to them. Firstly, the internet is the best way to communicate efficiently. With the Internet, people are able to send e-mails and the recipients will receive the message in just a matter of seconds. The sender is also able to attach files and pictures, and is able to send copies to as many people as they want at the click of the mouse. In addition, with the Internet, family members and friends are able to have a chat "live" in real time. Another benefit of using the Internet is, vast amounts of information is available 24-hours a day. This is because the Internet never shuts down at night. The information is useful for students, researchers and anyone interested in seeking additional knowledge. Lastly, the Internet also allows lonely singles to look for their ideal life partner via online matchmaking websites. The best thing is, some websites offer free matchmaking services, and it has worked for thousands of people who have used such services. As the result of these advantages, millions of people are now connected to the Internet.
