Letters to the editor

“Fly while you have wings”

I would like to thank Mr. Abdul Matin for his article entitled, “Fly while you have wings,” published in your daily on October 30, 2014. The write-up was very meaningful as well as inspiring. Of course, youth is more valuable than wealth and property, and I agree with the writer that we only understand its value after it is gone. The youth of our society should realise their strength and work hard when they still can.

Promoting new writers

In most of our newspapers' literature pages we find reviews of well known writers' books. Does this mean that new writers' books, published by ordinary publishers, are not worthy of review? Shouldn't the newspapers promote new good writers and poets? Otherwise, how will our literature be enriched with new visions and experiences? Many of our highly accomplished writers' works were promoted and reviewed by different newspapers and literary magazines in the past. It is my earnest request to the newspapers to give a little attention to the new writers who may not have a high profile but at least have the quality to write.

Distributing warm clothes in right time

Winter is knocking at the door. Every year many organisations as well as individuals distribute warm clothes among the needy people in villages and cities, but not in the right time. Warm clothes should be distributed before the arrival of winter. The various organisations that help the poor survive winter with less pain should start collecting warm clothes now and distribute those by the second week of November.
