An unforgettable bus ride

THIS is with reference to “An unforgettable bus ride” by Muhammad Areeb Nafiyuddin Siddiqui (YW, July 12, 2014). The story was hilariously written and was a source of amusement. I felt that I was also there in that bus, relishing the whole scene by my eyes.

THE story was really awesome and I enjoyed reading it because it made me laugh. The story depicted the true picture of a local bus but in an amusing way.

I have also witnessed the same thing that even though the buses are crowded and people just dangle out from the door, only clutching the handle, while the conductors keep on calling other passengers on the bus stop to get in the bus.

Believe in yourself

THIS is regarding the article “Believe in yourself” by Hazeela Tahir (YW, July 12, 2014). I totally agree with the writer when she says that believing oneself leads you to success.

Therefore, one should remain optimistic as self-confidence is a last resort to crush the dark clouds of pessimism. People who have belief in themselves remain positive and eventually achieve their dreams.

I REALLY liked the article “Believe in yourself” by Hazeela Tahir. The writer gave very great examples like J.K. Rowlings, Thomas Edison and above all M.A Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. We can take inspiration from these personalities and always believe in ourselves and remain positive to achieve our goals.

Germs — with us and within us!

THIS is with reference to the cover story “Germs — with us and within us” by Benazir Raz Soomro, (YW July 19, 2014).

It was a hair-rising article as I was shocked to read how dirty our surroundings are and above all how quickly these germs spread and get attached to us. We are usually unaware and careless about such facts but if we keep in mind the dangers of bad bacteria and germs, we can live a healthy life.

After reading this article I am more cautious in keeping the house and myself clean as much as I can.

The article was extremely informative and I am really thankful to the writer for covering a unique topic and also thankful to the YW team for publishing such informative articles.
