Delays have become expensive gifts from the dead to the Indians. Here all want to live forever. I respect our former president Mr.Venkatraman but death is a reality we cannot escape. Name is a recognition factor. through death our body gets separated from its name. Stop this practice of delaying things in the name of the dead. If we continue mourning like this, we may not have many days left to develop ourselves.
