Beat the heat from the inside out

This is with reference to the cover article “Beat the heat from the inside out” by Marvi Soomro (YW, May 31). Living in a city like Multan, where the summer heat feels endless, every word rang true. From the discomfort of indoor heat to the digestion problems caused by eating heavy or oily foods, everything felt relevant.

All the tips shared by the writer were not only practical but also things we often forget. We must listen to our bodies and treat summer with care — not just rely on cold drinks.

The article “Beat the heat from the inside out” by Marvi Soomro provided a great read on surviving the intense summer heat.

I absolutely loved the phrases the writer used to describe the heat — “lava pouring down” and “accidental eye torture” from dark clothes — they made me laugh because they’re so accurate! And we feel like that. I totally agree with that moment when you touch a wall and it feels like an oven.

What I appreciated most was how the article balanced fun with facts.

It wasn’t boring or too serious, yet it gave useful advices.

Birds, beach and a big blunder

This is regarding the story “Birds, beach and a big blunder” by Zainab Sultan (YW, May 31). I couldn’t stop laughing while reading this story!

The build-up was perfect — all the professional gear, the early morning rush and the beautiful beach — and then the sudden realisation that the camera was left behind! What a twist!

The description of the beach scene was so vivid, and the ending was unexpectedly hilarious. I urge YW to publish more stories like this one, as they are light-hearted and humorous.

The story “Birds, beach and a big blunder” by Zainab Sultan was amusing, yet meaningful! I really enjoyed reading about the early morning adventure to photograph migratory birds and the beautifully described scenery.

Everything about the story was delightful. However, the twist of forgetting the camera was both funny and shocking.

To me, the story wasn’t just about a forgotten item, but a gentle reminder that even when we plan everything perfectly, life can still surprise us. Instead of getting upset, we should laugh, learn and move on.
