Navratri Gets Underway Onions are making us With Religious Fervour cry bitterly The price of onions has seen a steep rise in Mumbai and other parts of the country in the last few weeks. This is because of black marketing and hoarding. Very soon it is likely to touch Rs 100 a kilo (Newsband, September 28). This will result in kitchen grievances for the house- holds, as the prices are too high for most of the middle-class families to afford. Onion is the staple food of the common man and it is required by us daily, not only for cooking but even for making salads and snacks items like poha. Without onions, we are unable to cook our food. The government must control inflation and must do something to bring down the price of onions as a relief to the families of the lower and Rains fail to dampen the enthusiasm of the devotees as they participate in group middle-class income groups. The steep price rise of onions is bringing prayers tears to our eyes and making us cry bitterly.

For a country where music mostly means film music, this patriotic song moved a nation like no film song could. Recorded as a tribute to the Indian soldiers who fought against China in the 1962 war, it was written by poet Pradeep and tuned by C. Ramachandra. It was no rousing song, but a poignant one – penned so evocatively by Pradeep – that spoke about the sacrifices of the soldier. Lata’s perfor- mance, at the National Stadium in New Delhi on the Republic Day in 1963, in the presence of President S. Radhakrishnan and Prime Minis- ter Jawaharlal Nehru, had the audience in tears. Happy birthday Lata Mangeshkar. Many more happy returns of the day.
