The tiny treasures: wonderful stamps

This concerns the article “The tiny treasures: wonderful stamps” by S.A. (YW, October 26).

Before I even read the article, I loved collecting stamps, and this article just reignited my passion for stamps.

In a digital age, this article reminded us of the charm of sending letters adorned with beautiful stamps. It rekindled interest in philately, making it a worthy hobby for all ages.

“The tiny treasures: wonderful stamps” by S.A. explained how stamps served as proof of payment for postal services and showcased a nation’s culture.

I found the exploration of Pakistan’s stamps particularly engaging, as they represented significant milestones and achievements. This article beautifully captured the essence of stamps, reminding us of their enduring importance in our lives.

The story “Sania’s first sushi experience” by Syed Muhammad Mashood-Uddin Ahmed highlighted the importance of eating healthy food. The narrative was light-hearted with a touch of humour, making it enjoyable for readers of all ages.

Through Sania’s amusing journey of trying sushi for the first time, the story encouraged openness to new foods and experiences. It effectively conveyed that healthy eating can be both fun and rewarding.

The tale of a lady’s finger

This is regarding the story “The tale of a lady’s finger” by Farheen Farwa (YW, October 19). It was a humorous piece that highlighted the common struggle of children disliking vegetables, using Muaz’s creative journey with the talking lady’s finger to convey valuable lessons.

The story encouraged the readers to appreciate the hard work of farmers and avoid food waste.

I appreciate the writer for writing on vegetables and would encourage the YW team to publish more such stories.
