Dear
Editor
Many
things in a single letter!
Heya
Ed!
This
is the first time I'm writing to your mag…or any mag
for that matter. I'm not going to say that this mag is
awesome because you already get to hear that a lot, and
I bet you're tired of hearing it, no matter how true it
may be! :p The articles you guys publish are pretty
cool. I particularly look forward to reading articles by
Saad Javed. The issue of Feb 29, 2008 was really good.
The cover story about making money was interesting, and
had some pretty good ideas in it. 'Graffiti' as always
was funny :D The 'Poets' Corner' was good and the rest
of the pages and articles were good, too.
I have
one complaint, though… Please get rid of the
'Greetings' page!!!!!! :( It's COMPLETELY USELESS!!! I
bet that page could be used for something more
useful…like an Arts Corner or something. We artists
deserve a page, too, you know! ;p Another thing I wanted
to ask you is what is the word count for the cover story
and other articles? I know some people asked you that
already a few weeks ago, but you didn't say anything
about the word count. So please reply to my letter…
That is IF you print it which I really hope you will.
And I've got just one more request… Well, maybe
two…:p Pleeeaaaseeeeeee print the posters of Linkin
Park and Papa Roach. And one more request, and this one
is for the readers… My request is that please stop
thinking that just because all your friends have
girl/boyfriends it doesn't mean that you have to have
one/two/three as well! People, enjoy your life while
you're young!!! So what if everyone in the Western
countries has relationships at this age? Their culture
and religion are way different and I think it's better
for us if we follow our own!!!!

Hmmm.
The word count for cover story should be between
1600-2000 words. While that of a one-page article should
be around 650 words.
It's
bad!
Hi Ed,
As
usual, the first thing I did this Friday after coming
from school was to go through the fabulous mag of yours.
Everything was good, especially the 'Humour' section. I
quite agree with Asad Farooq's letter. It was very
saddening to read an article which made fun of people
who want to govern Pakistan according to Islamic laws,
especially when that article was written by a Muslim
writer.

Letter
from a busy reader!
AoA
Eeedddddiiitttoooorrr!!!
It's
been soooo long since I wrote a letter to you. I had
exams, you see; send ups. And now I'm facing pre-Boards
in April. Anyway, I really want to compliment Waqas for
his article 'Kon banega prime minister'. I just loved
it! It showed his genius and comic mind. In the issue of
Feb 29, 2008, the 'Graffiti' section was amazing as
always. And the article by Jawwad Ahmed 'How to mess up
your interview' was very helpful and humorous. I was
touched to read the article about Raja Jahanzeb. And
last but not the least, I really loved the cover story
'Ways to earn money' by Hafsah. I hope it proves helpful
for teenagers. Thumbs up from me to Us magazine. Love
you all!

This
letter amazes Us!
Salam
Ed!
I am a
regular reader of Us mag and I like it pretty much. The
'Graffiti' and 'Trust Us' sections are really cool. Now
the thing is that I want to send articles for this mag,
so I really want to know if there's any need of
membership or something like that. And if the article is
published, are we paid for that? I really want an answer
from you. Please guide me regarding this. Keep up the
good work!

Girl!
Where did you get this idea from ;) The membership
thingy??? We have never heard of acquiring membership to
write for any mag! We have told you people many times,
and we repeat; anyone can send his/her articles to Us
and they will be printed if they are well-written.
That's the only condition. And yes, we do pay for your
contributions, but it usually takes a 'little' time…
:-p
For
Naeema. And for someone else, too ;)
Helloooo
Naeema!
I just
couldn't keep myself from praising 'One Fine Friday'. I
never thought anything could be 'bizarre' and 'sweet'
and 'deep' at the same time. Every time I read this
guy's poems, I start wondering what's going on inside
his head. Lol... Amusing stuff!
Oh!
And more Coffee poems! They were nice!
I am
happy people have started writing 'Saadish' poems about
commonplace feelings. People, who are not in love, can
finally enjoy poems! :-p
I
really, really want more of such 'amusing stuff'.

Dear
Editor,
This
is my first letter to any magazine in my life. I have
read a lot of magazines, but your sincere work has
compelled me to write to your mag. First of all, I would
like to praise you for your hard work. The issue of 29th
February was just splendid; especially the topic
discussed in the cover story by Hafsah Sarfraz. It was
outstanding. I congratulate her on her good work. And
please try to publish meaningful topics in the cover
story section. Keep working hard.

Hello
Ed,
The
issue of Feb 29, 2008 was great. I really liked that.
You guys are doing a superb job. But I have a complaint,
too, about the mag. The 'Greetings' page is totally a
dump. Don't you think so? But the rest is good, really
good. I totally agree with Zara's point of view that you
never print the posters of Pakistani celebrities. They
represent our country after all.
Anyway,
your cover stories are really good and I think we all
enjoy them. And yes, I have another suggestion for you.
Please improve your style; make it more attractive and
colourful. Best of luck!

Dear
Aangan Psychologist and Guru,
I am a
regular reader of Us and I am very impressed with your
pages 'In your Aangan' and 'Trust Us'.
I
think it's a good initiative to encourage the victims of
various mishaps to express their feelings about their
problems. Also, it can be helpful for those who read it,
as they can become aware of the horrible incidents
taking place in our society.
I'm a
fan of Guru as well who guides all the people who
contact him/her sincerely and brighten them up with best
advises.
It's
my first ever letter to any magazine or newspaper, so
please include it in your next edition.

Nice
work!
Dear
Ed,
It
goes without saying that Us is a treat on Fridays. So
I have to take time out for it no matter how busy
my routine is. 29th February issue was really
fantastic. Kanza Tariq's article on the entry test
preparation was another great effort from her; it
covered every aspect and will definitely be very
helpful. Good job! The Tribute to Raja Jahanzeb was a
very good write up too and was really touchy. It's good
to see such articles getting published. The rest of the
issue was good, too. Keep up the good work!
