Loving Pakistan, just not the usual way
This is with reference to the cover article “Loving Pakistan, just not the usual way” by Benazir Raz (YW, August 15).
With ever-growing trends on social media, a lot has changed. Young people are now more interested in learning about the old architecture, literature and culture of our country, and this indirectly revives the forgotten past. The article made me realise that taking an interest in these things is also a way of caring about where we come from.

The cover article “Loving Pakistan, just not the usual way” by Benazir Raz caught my attention because I have recently started listening to songs that my parents used to play. At first, I thought they were just old songs, but they are actually legendary and have a history.
I also liked the idea that young people can support Pakistan without always making a big show of it. Sometimes buying local, travelling within the country or even sharing a local artist’s work can make a difference.

The day without rules
This is with reference to the story “The day without rules” by Aqsa Shoaib (YW, August 22). At first, I thought having no rules would be exciting too, but the story quickly showed how scary it could become.
Rules are not only about telling us what we can’t do, they also protect people from those who might take advantage of complete freedom. And that ending with the broken door honestly gave me chills.

A change of heart
This concerns the story “A change of heart” by Laleha Fatemah (YW, August 1). The story highlighted the bitter truth of our society. In fact, many people have financial resources, but they use them to display their possessions instead of helping people in need. The theme was impressive and encouraged us to show kindness towards needy families.

More than just grades
This is regarding the story “More than just grades” by Alishba Shamshad (YW, August 15). It is a fact that, for parents, their children’s happiness means much more than their success.
This story beautifully showed the bond between a father and his daughter. I understood that parents always want to see their children happy. No obstacle can ever diminish a parent’s affection for their children.
