Congrats for completing two decades of publishing our favourite business daily. The new look for the third decade is indeed interesting. Please don’t reduce font size any further as it can hurt the eyes of the middle aged.

Attractive new look. Fabulously eye-catching. It is also heartening see the ‘Letters to the Editor’ column now enjoys more space. Besides business news, you must also have regular coverage of topics such as art and culture.

The new-look BL is more attractive, educative and thought-provoking. It offers a lot of value-added information, intelligent analysis with fine presentation. The two articles that I liked are ‘Why is India a mining-averse nation?’ and ‘Conflict of interest too is corruption’.

I am happy about doubling of space for readers’ letters as I have now a 50 per cent better chance of my letter in print. Also, please see if you can “roll back” the decision to not to have an edition on Sunday -- in line with the Government’s regular practice for fuel prices!

Kudos. But there is one glitch: we have just one day in a week to do our financial planning leisurely, and that is Sunday. Why did you follow the route of some other dailies and pack everything for a Monday?

Business Line should report more on media. Other business dailies generally have regular columnists on media affairs. Also, please push the weekend supplement to the Sunday. I want to see more coverage on the metals market. BL badly needs a daily cartoon as well.

Business Line has passed a milestone and has managed to make itself the yardstick by which other newspapers can be measured qualitatively. I found articles on topics such as the Gini Co-Efficient and intellectual property rights revealing. Expecting more such stimulating stuff.

The new format is a big let-down. First of all, the overall impact is of a reduced size, without giving a compact look. The font on the market page has become small and unreadable for people with poor eyesight. Equally shocking is the decision to shift Investment World and Portfolio to Monday and consequent discontinuance of the Sunday paper. It seems the objective is to cut cost.

Please do not stop the Sunday edition. That’s the day we actually sit down to read something substantial. Your Sunday edition of Investment World is a treasure to us.

In conflict

This is in reference to ‘Conflict of interest too is corruption’ ( Business Line , January 23). It takes up a grave issue. It is imperative for those who handle conflicting areas of interest to have a balanced view on issues and take correct decisions. But very few do it.

Power failure

Private power utilities are merrily fleecing the public while cooking their books to report losses so that they can bargain for even higher tariff for the power they vend (‘Delhi discoms move High court’, Business Line , January 23). Reports also indicate governments play accomplice to their unscrupulous methods. Trying to bring these utilities under the CAG lens, Arvind Kejriwal is striving to undo the damage done by the previous governments in handing over these essential services to private profiteers.

Correction

The article titled ‘Hazards of a wait and watch policy’ by SS Tarapore (January 24, 2014) was mistakenly repeated. It was earlier published on December 27, 2013.

The error is regretted.
