THE recent exhibition at the Expo Centre surely attracted a number of visitors and I was also one of them. I must say, it was worth visiting as every kind of accessory used in day-to-day life was available at reasonable prices.

The jewellery and clothing were quite exquisite, drawing the attention of visitors of various ages while the stalls with edible items were crowded with housewives. Furthermore, the lucky draws were also amazing.

However, the one thing that was irritating was loud music being played there. Each stall had its own loudspeaker and was playing a different song which neither allowed the visitors to understand nor enjoy any of the songs. I would definitely like to stress that loud music never attracts visitors; instead, it is the look of the stall, the product’s awareness and the amount of cooperation that allow for a greater profit. Therefore, I would like to request the management of the Expo to take notice of the issue and instead of allowing each stall to have its own speaker, a single music system would suffice.
