Pop
Music Rules!
This
is just a warm wish from me to all of you especially
to those of you working in SWM. This letter is not
about any particular article. Everything is wonderful!
However, I am a big fan of Western Music, and would
like to extend my heartiest congratulations on the
brilliant entertainment page. However, I sometimes
find that you do not publish the current pop music
compilation? My request is to publish more current
pop music like Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez,
Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Justin Timberlake and so on.
In the Ittefaq, they publish songs of these top pop
celebrities. Since I am a regular reader of your magazine
and newspaper, I would appreciate it if you did the
same. Please understand that this is not criticism,
but just a suggestion…Think about it.

Your Articles "Nari-pokkho - 20 years of stuggle"
and "Remembering a Childhood Friend" on
the May 23 magazine were both extra-special. Thank
you. Would it be possible to obtain the address of
Zareen Ahmed to thank her personally? You get a delightful
variety of serious articles, as well as those of human
interest which struck me this past week. Thank you
again.

HSC
Examiners Biased?
AKB
of Banani has written a prejudiced letter in the name
of education. He wanted to say that examiners of the
HSC exam are not careful about the questions that
they prepare. This is absurd! HSC examiners do not
look upon examinees as non-Muslims--Hindus, Christians,
Buddhists, etc…
They look upon examinees as students who have are
fully prepared for any question, regardless of the
subject matter. Also he mentions that the examinees
have a choice or an option as to whether or not they
want to answer the questions. He should realise that
it is not the HSC examiners that are ridiculous, but
his own perspective.

"Dwelling
in the Moment"
My
very inner self was stirred with an unearthly feeling
after reading the article of Neeman A. Sobhan, titled
“Dwelling in the Moment.” It was unique. I read this
article on my way to work on a sultry day. The piece
led me to a different plane of ecstasy. It was like
a soft, gentle breeze that blew over my hot, sweaty
face. As an avid reader of romantic poetry, I couldn't
help but recall the land of daffodils delineated by
W. Wordsworth. Thanks to SWM and also to the writer
for this exceptional column that took me into a dreamland
even while I was in the din of city life.
