A night without screens

This is regarding the story “A night without screens” by Hurain Mohy Ud Din Maan (YW, January 10).

The story was no doubt amazing, yet very deep in its message. I think most readers can relate to it, as these days we are together yet apart, all absorbed in phones and screens. The blackout created the perfect opportunity to show how small, unexpected moments can reconnect people.

The writer highlighted shared memories and simple interactions as ways to bond.

There is no doubt that the story serves as a gentle reminder of how stepping away from screens can create real, lasting connections with the people around us.

The story “A night without screens” by Hurain Mohy Ud Din Maan highlighted the importance of spending time without digital devices around us.

In the quiet, dark night, a family rediscovered a forgotten light: their own voices, shared memories and simple laughter that built a warmth no heater could provide.

The story gave a timeless lesson that our best moments are powered by attention, not electricity.

A wimpy day

This concerns the story “A wimpy day” by Fatimah Khurrum (YW, January 10).

We have read stories based on the imagination of Harry Potter; however, this one was different in every way. It was fun, imaginative and thoroughly entertaining, especially for readers who enjoy reading the Wimpy Kid series.

I request YW to publish more stories like this one.

The story “A wimpy day” by Fatimah Khurrum was pure adventure. The way the real world blended with the cartoon one was super entertaining.

The moment when the main character, Dylan, suddenly found himself inside Greg Heffley’s world, meeting characters he had only read about, was fun.

Mini craft stick lamp

This concerns the Wonder Craft section, “Mini craft stick lamp” by The Crafter (YW, January 3). I loved the mini lamp very much and found the step-by-step directions easy to understand.

I love this section a lot, as it inspires youngsters to create and be imaginative.
