Unveiling the Great Thinker
Chintito- the pseudonym writer always charmed us with his pleasant and witty columns. But, was it necessary to divulge the identity of Chintito who for so long remained in disguise from the readers? As a mysterious writer, I think he would find a better name and would have remained largely admired for his thoughts.

The Story of the Star
It is really heartbreaking to even think that from the next Friday I will not get the Star Magazine in its renowned shape. It has always been a good friend on the weekend. It seems to me that this sudden makeover of the magazine is going to change my lifestyle as well. Thanks to Aasha Mehreen Amin for telling us the rich past of the Star. I would like to congratulate its new editor and the team. I believe the venture will surely give us more resourceful weekends from its first issue.

It Ends Here
Reading the last issue of the Star was an amazing experience. I am taken aback to read that the Star will not be published as a magazine anymore. The article titled “It Ends Here” has nicely depicted the experiences of the brains behind the magazine. It was also nice to see the faces together in the publication.

An Incredible Experience with the Star
You must have your inbox filled with messages from readers all over the world. So I will keep this short. I just went through the Star's final edition. It has been an incredible experience, though one of mixed feelings.
Aasha Mehreen Amin’s reminiscence of the early days at the Daily Star and the magazine was a nice touch. Just so you know, a lot of familiar names if not faces, will be missed every Friday.
Please convey the gratitude of an avid reader to all the writers, cartoonists, photographers and illustrators of the Star. Let them know how much they are appreciated.
Looking forward to Aasha Mehreen Amin’s next mission, I know it will be an even better one.
