Small steps, big impact

This is regarding the story “Small steps, big impact” by Armeen Shahzad (YW, January 18).

The narrative effectively illustrated how small actions can lead to significant and meaningful changes.

Nowadays, many public areas are heavily polluted, harming both people and small living creatures.

We must not forget that maintaining cleanliness is not solely the government’s responsibility; it is also the duty of every individual to prevent pollution and contribute to a cleaner and more beautiful environment, while simultaneously preserving nature and protecting the creatures that share our world.

My first ATM encounter

This is with reference to the story “My first ATM encounter” by Tabish Suhail (YW, January 18). It was an amusing story, with every detail bringing delight to the readers — perfectly capturing the experience of someone using an ATM for the first time. I could completely relate to the feelings described.

The writer portrayed the situation in a true, yet humorous way. I thoroughly enjoyed it and urge the YW team to publish more entertaining stories like this one.

I couldn’t stop laughing while reading the story “My first ATM encounter” by Tabish Suhail. Because I could relate to the pure struggle of first-time ATM users.

The pressure of people staring from behind, the unnecessary confidence in blaming the machine and watching a YouTube tutorial inside the ATM booth — absolutely hilarious!

The part where the other guy tried to insert his card into the cash dispenser slot was the cherry on top.

This story perfectly captured the awkward, yet hilarious moments of learning something new. Hoping to read more such light-hearted and fun stories!

Buzzing bloom

This is regarding the Wonder Crafts section, “Buzzing bloom” by The Crafter (YW, January 18). Crafting is my favourite hobby and I love making everything featured in this section.

“Buzzing bloom” was yet another fantastic craft, which I made using the foam clay I already had at home. I absolutely love the creation! I request The Crafter to share more craft ideas using foam clay so we can continue making them at home.
