Don’t leave any room for children to risk their livesOf late the incidents of children falling to death from highrises are on the rise. Whether the causes could be, sheer negligence of guardians or lack of safety measures, it’s ultimately children who pay the price (“Negligent parents may face jail terms, warn police officials,” Feb.3, The Gulf Today).
Young children, including toddlers, should never be left alone on their own at the apartments even for a while. And it is the duty of parents to take very good care of their offspring.
However, safety measures also need to be adopted by the building owners as well so as to leave no room for such unfortunate happenings.

Commitment and dedication always bring honourIt is a fact that commitment and dedication always bring success to an individual’s life. Abdul Rehman, a Pakistani cricketer, is one of the best examples of it.
He started his career in 2006 and has been playing cricket quietly and working hard as his team requires him.
The 2nd Test match between Pakistan and England was actually his turn to triumph in the world of cricket as majestic leg-spinner and he got his share of pride by demolishing the world number one team at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Egyptians should not politicise sportSports and politics should be kept marginally far away from one another (“Egyptians blame army, police for riot,” Feb.3, The Gulf Today).
Winning or losing is part of the game and we don’t expect a soccer-loving nation to spill blood on the ground if their favourite team gets an unexpected defeat.
The killing of 74 fans at the end of the match in the presence of Egyptian riot police has raised many questions over the administrative policy of the transitional government.
The country is passing through a crucial time as far as the new leadership is concerned and politically-charged violence will lead the nation towards further destruction. The country has already paid a heavy price to topple the more than two decades of suppressed autocracy of Hosni Mubarak. Egyptians should play the game in the right spirit, not politicise sport.
