The cover story of Oct 1 issue was very enlightening and made us feel proud that our people are able to achieve global recognition for original research and success in the field of medicine. Let the breed of the likes of Dr. Priya grow .

One more glowing example of what young India can achieve. Cudos to the GG team!

Oct 1 issue seemed to be a good mix of humor and serious stuff, especially the cover story and my favourite column, Youth are the Master of the Game. What Karti says is very true. If our country can focus on infrastructure development and the grooming of sports persons at the grass roots level, India can definitely bring out exemplary sportsmen and women. For a country that has many global accomplishments to its credit, excelling the sports is not a big deal. Will the politicians and leaders do something about this soon?

Your new legal feature pro bono makes interesting reading. May be you could add a Q & A kind of stuff to it and address legal problems of readers.

Guruji’s rationale behind yoga is very true. If we make yoga a part of our life, we can overcome several modern-day health problems.
Saraswathi Ramakrishnan, Chennai
The article , ‘A card a day keeps smiles in place,” was very good. It is important to show that you care through cards. In today’s world, reviving the tradition of sending greeting cards is very important. How long can one continue to live in a virtual world? It is time we came down to earth!

We cannot tolerate incidents like the trust vote one, just because we are a democracy. It is young leaders like Mr. Karti Chidambaram who should set standards by forging associations with other clean, erudite and well-meaning youths to give us parliamentarians whom we are proud of.
L. Sivaramakrishnan, Chennai
The article on bharatanatyam is a very thought-provoking one and depicts the true state of affairs in our performing art scenario. We need several such bold articles about the different fields because every field is tottering under the burden of corruption, bigotry, commercialism and other ills that have overridden our social values in a big way. Very good piece of writing!

I read Eve’s Times in a district library in Madurai and was amazed to see such quality magazine in English. Eve’s Times seems to be carrying out articles of different types. I would like to congratulate this publication which does not have an iota of sensationalism, glamour or yellow journalism. I was proud to read the magazine. You have got a fan for life!
Janaki Varadarajan, Madurai
Your cover story dealt with the much hyped issue, but it was different. Eve’s Times appears to have taken the humor route, with a lot of fun-based articles. The poem from the US was touching and good. It is good to note that you have started a new feature on real estate. But if you can give details such as the market rate of purchase and rentals, etc it will be very useful for readers who are interested in buying or renting properties.

Editor,
Are you proud to be a Chennaite or not? Your editorial elicits a strong suspicion about your loyalties!
Praful Mehta, College Student
Gosh! That was never our intention. Every little brick at Eve’s Times Groups swears by our mother land! Read the last like of our edit carefully and you will not be disappointed. Anyway, we are sorry for giving that impression ! Ed.

The Health Special, issue of Eve’s Times is a laudable venture. A very useful and informative issue with all aspects of cancer covered by experts from one of the best hospitals in the world. The true experience of Neerja Malik brought tears to our eyes. A very commendable effort!
T.N.Seshadri, Chennai
Most of us did not know, nor do we even think that our artistes can also be riddled with ailments such as cancer. Cancer knows no friends was a good piece of writing. I would also like to mention here that a very good dancer and human being, Usha Srinivasan was also lost to cancer. When our artistes perform on the stage, the sheer beauty of the art masks all their suffering.
Mohini Raman, Chennai
The article on grandparents brought tears to our eyes. It is important for a society to respect its senior citizens.
Madanagopal, Chennai
Karti Chidambaram’s views that we should strengthen our healthcare system are just what our country needs. His suggestions of starting more medical colleges and building up a pool of doctors and also setting up infrastructure and health care in rural areas on a war-footing, if implemented, will play a major role in improving the health of a nation that is priding on its achievement in IT, but grossly ignoring a more important issue- Health.
Sriram Chinnappa, Bangalore.
We do not get to read such simple short stories that emotionally involve you. Eve’s Times’ attempt to revive the habit of reading short stories is worth appreciation.
Radika Raghavan, Chennai
Eve’s Times has received innumerable letters from our readers appreciating our coverage on cancer. Thanks –Ed .

Hello Editor!
I am a Software Engineer by profession. Writing is my passion. I try to find time amidst the monotony of the daily routine to keep writing to ensure that I am ‘alive and kicking’.
I have been reading Eve’s times over the past 2 months and find it interesting and informative. You offer information on a variety of topics, ranging from
Women, Health & Fitness, short stories, info about places and interesting insights from people belonging to different walks of life!
I recently lost about 12 kgs after putting in a lot of effort. I thought it might be relevant to share this with the readers. .

Sir,
SBI network is one of the largest banking network in India. My father used to say humorously that SBI would have existed even before the formation of villages in India. It was a matter of pride to us when one of our brothers attained a top post in SBI and is now retired. Initially it was the Imperial bank of India and subsequently the name changed to SBI. SBI has contributed to the banking system significantly spreading its wings spread all over the world. It is but fitting that the 10000 branch has been opened in the Finance Minister’s constituency on 9 March 2008. With the mushrooming of banks like ICICI and other banks SBI stands tall in service and customer friendly attitude. RBI is the guiding star in the banking Industry. SBI has followed systems and procedures meticulously and this practice continues till today. SBI is batting like Sachin and has touched this magical figure of 10K. Kudos to SBI team!

Your cover story unveiled the reality that still continues in the society. While men and many women deny there is gender bias, as a workingwoman I have felt gender bias at every step of my career. Not only that I have seen worst forms of abuse , emotional and sexual in work situations, which have happened to my friends and known people. Despite all the glorious picture of a globalized India that we seem to paint, the truth is that our society is primitive in their approach to women and women-related issues. I doubt it will ever change. And all the so-called women who make tall claims that they have reached great positions and have not faced gender bias can at best be taken as those who are trying to fool themselves and the society A very bold and enlightening cover story. Good to see women like Asoka Chatterjee holding senior positions , despite several travails and tribulations , only because they are women.

Your editorial explains what we truly need- not competition with lesser beings ( read men), but living a life of dignity and equanimity, which every person, irrespective of gender, caste, ethnicity, creed or whatever deserves. A scathing but true observation. Indeed , men don’t get pregnant!
Mrinalini, a mother of two girls, Chennai
This time, TeenMag was very colourful and I particularly like your personality quiz. Very innovative. Keep it up!
Kavita, College Student, Chennai
You have put together a very good issue with a lot of matter for introspection including the interviews with women from Hyderabad, a powerful cover story and editorial. But there has been a lot of fun too, with the short story taking the cake. Whoever said women are not capable of good humor? Jest for laughs and canteen banter were mirthful.
K. Ramamurthy, Chennai
Eve’s Times is becoming yummier… mmmmmmmm! The Recipes and the pix, a tongue tickling fare!
Monica, Chennai
I had an opportunity to come across Eve’s Times when I was commuting in a flight. I found it very interesting with a lot of entertaining stuff, but what amazed me was the earnest effort to bring out thought-provoking issues. Is this how the issue always is or what it because it was a special issue?

Your Cover story .on the current scenario of cricket is most appropriate. While the nation is watching the crazy BCCI which isauctioning the stars in the open streets! I too am able to recount a few incidents of yester years. There was an opening pair of Roy and Mankad that created 413 runs for the opening wicket at the Nehru Stadim at Madras (now Chennai) against New Zealand, which is still unbroken one. A bespectacled Pankaj Roy and Vinoo Mankad faced the fiery Hall and Gilchrist of the Windies without helmets. At that time no one in BCCI thought it fit to safeguard the players. Now if you play cricket at the national level, even if you are bad you are worth crores. This is cheap commercialization of the game. Does any body show any concern about the parallel fiscal establishment, the BCCI? As Bernard Shaw wrote that cricket is a game where eleven fools play and eleven thousand watch, may be it is emerging to be true. The advent of T20 has made cricket the cheapest game in terms of quality!
S.Venugopalan , Chennai
Your cover story was a good analysis of the current scenario of cricket. Need we say that for some of us, when men were put up on auction, hung our heads in shame ? Well, you have timed your story just right!
R.Sridhar, Chennai
Last issue of Eve’s Times seemed to be striving to tap the slumbering conscience be it cricket, or music or love ( your editorial). Well, you work is good, but is anyone listening?
K.Ramamurthy, Chennai
The Magazine is good. The get- up is excellent. Contents are very absorbing and useful. The photographs are very clear & colorful. To make Eve’s Times more interesting and different you can try to include sports analysis which will be an interesting pastime for men and may be think of innovative features on performing arts .
Rajesh, Chennai
Your article on the Thiagaraja festival was hard-hitting, but projected the truth. We need more such candid feedback from the public if people were to emerge more professional!
S. Ramaswamy, Chennai
Popping Little Hearts- A good satire on Valentine’s Day. I had a good laugh.

Health articles carried out in Eve’s Times are very informative and good, especially the one for women by Dr.Priya Selvaraj. Hope you are able to cover more such health issues in the near future.

I fully agree with Karti Chidambaram, that what we need is not band-aid solutions but hard core surgery not only for education, but also for many of the problems that assail our countrymen. I appreciate his bold stand when he asks why the children of public servants should attend private schools and not public schools. Our education system needs a thorough overhaul and public servants should definitely do something about it. If those in government service do their duties properly, our country would not be facing so many problems today, especially traffic, infrastructure, water etc.
Vidya Balakrishnan, Mylapore
Your New Year issue was very colourful and good. I wish some of the fantasies were true. It would help us in so many ways!
Janani and Iswariya, School Students
Your feature career concerns as well as business etiquette are good. Today, we all need such tips on handling office colleagues, politics, and also conduct ourselves properly during meetings. Last fortnight’s topic on corporate politics practical . Friendly interactions provided several useful tips.
Meenakshi, Software Company
Every fortnight, when I get my copy of Eve’s Times, I read the short story first, because I like to read stories. The ones being published in your paper are quiet good. Last issue’s story was meaningful. If friendships could still be like that in the story, life would be interesting.
Gomati Sundaram, Adyar
As Jaggi Vasudev says, if you can be a good sportsperson, you can be a good team leader. Sports teach us very important lessons in life and hone our skills and character. Last issue was overall very colourful, with good articles and best of all , with a calendar for keeps. Good work!
K.R.Ramamurthy, Mylapore
The views of film personalities on HIV/AIDS are very good, if they are the true view! Coming from our film people, the message will reach the public better than any other mode of spreading the message. It is sad but true that our film personalities are given more importance than many intellectuals, thinkers and writers.
