Books

Books come in all genres; they are fascinating, knowledgeable and sometimes emotional, which make us cry. Books have superpowers that compel us to imagine things we have never thought about before. If we read books, our lifestyle changes and we become aware of the world.

Book reading is one of the best habits anyone can ever have. It is my humble request to all the readers that it is always good to read books rather than wasting time on internet.

The comeback mystery

This is with reference to the story “The comeback mystery” by Omair Alavi (YW, December 19, 2015). I never took interest in stories based on mysteries but this was one of the finest stories which compelled me to admire the writer. The way he explained the entire situation was great. I would like to thank Young World for publishing such stories.

I also want to suggest that there should be stories that provide information about Pakistan.

My friend, my inspiration!

This is with reference to the story “My friend, my inspiration” by Ali Zain Salim Ali (YW, December 26, 2015). Friends are the only people after our parents who actually change the perspective of our lives and show us another way of living.

I have been inspired by one of my friends to take admission in a private school to gain more than the ghost school of our area can give me. I will always be thankful to my friend for inspiring me to do so.

The story “My friend, my inspiration” by Ali Zain Salim Ali was wonderful. It is true that friends play a major role in our lives as they are an inspiration for us. They help us in our difficult times and can also change our personality in a positive or negative way.

Do you like reading?

I love reading because it builds my personality and enriches my mind. I love it because it doesn’t cost me anything but some moments to spend with it.

That perpetual imagination, those cherished moments, the involvement with the characters, perfection of thoughts and theme. All this, I achieve not through power or pelf but through reading.

Reading manifests the personality and helps the imagination grow. Reading casts a spell on you with its magic.

This is a little depiction of my love for reading.
