Changing with times

Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai? (October 28) was a good write up. New-age entertainment barons will completely shadow over the veterans of the industry in few years' time, unless they change with time.

Travel tales

I really like the travel page every week. It gets the travel bug in me going. I specially liked the November 11th issue, where both the travel stories were different from what the usual newspapers carry.

Sarvesh and Hina Talwar's coastal trek egged me on to do the same. In fact, my friends and I may be planning a similar beach trek this winter. The Star Cruise story, of course, is what I dream to do a few years from now, when I would have reached a position to afford such a trip.

Banking blues

The cover story, Banking on a different outlook (November 11) presented a good inside into the HR policies that banks will be following in the future.

What worries me is that banking personnel may no longer stick to the banking sector through their entire careers. Being MBAs, they will always be looking out for FMCG company jobs that give higher perks and corporate glamour.

How is the banking sector going to make these new recruits stay on? In a few years there may not be senior banking cadre that one can look up to.

World of values

Everyone is talking about values at the workplace. So are you (Values big and small, November 18). But do people really bother so much about values anymore, though companies and individuals keep talking about the issue?

Two decades ago we used to talk less and do more, now it's only smart talking that leads the way. In fact, corrupt practices and blatant compromises bring more results than honest, god-fearing work. But this gloomy situation cannot last for too long, sometime dishonesty will be recognised and punished.

For the people?

Aziz Haider in his article, Bestowing Vision (November 18) makes the right point. Our country has the best eye care institutions and yet we have such high prevalence of cataract and other eye problems. We excel in other medical areas too, but rarely does this excellence benefit our own population. Why?
