'Preparing for death' by K.J.S.Chatrath

I am 74+.

I would suggest all my 70+ friends to take a look at the article 'How to have a better death' in the latest issue of 'The Economist.'

Being 70+, we should calmly talk about preparing for death and not shy away from reality.

'Respectful salute to Kupwara Bravehearts' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

Respectful salute to martyrs Capt. Ayush Yadav, 26, Sub. Bhoop Singh, 46 and Naik B.V.Ramanna, 38 who sacrified their lives at Kupwara saving the unity and integrity of India.

A loud 'Bravo' and get-well-soon to brave Gunner Rishi Kumar who shot dead two terrorists in Kupwara and is recovering from gun wound.

JAI HIND!

I came across this photo in an advertisement while thumbing through an old 2011 issue of Time News Magazine.
