When everything went wrong

This is with reference to the piece When everything went wrong, by M. Bazeed Shahzad (YW, March 24, 2012).

I really liked this article as it was really humorous. The sequence of the mishaps was really funny. Like me, there must be many other children  who would have realised that one should not panic when things go wrong.

Reviews

I have been a regular reader of YW for a long time now and I can say that it is the best magazine for children available in Pakistan. The reviews publish in the magazine are worth reading whether they are of movies, games, websites or books, because it makes it easy for us when we buy such thing.

So it is my request to the YW team to always include reviews in the magazine. Also, I would like to request that a column on best ‘places & sites’ of the world with photographs should also be started. This will be very interesting and will also boost our general knowledge.

Being tall  

This is regarding the article Being tall — a curse or a blessing? by Mariha Khan (YW, March 3, 2012). I am also tall and have also gone through the same problems faced by the writer; it is sad and at times irritating to hear people calling others by names like ‘oonth (camel)’, ‘lamboo’, etc., so that article was very useful. I used to get annoyed earlier but now I remain calm and thank Allah Almighty for blessing me with this unique gift.

I would like to advise the readers of YW if they call people such names due to their physical features, they should stop doing so as it may hurt the feelings of such people.

The reclusive genius

This is in apropos to the story The reclusive genius by Rahul Karamat Barlaas (YW, March 10, 2012). He has drawn a true picture of our society. There is a moral for all of us that we mustn’t discourage those who are weak in studies.
