A frightening experience

This is with reference to the story “A frightening experience” by Ayesha Zeeshan Chaudhry (YW, May 19). The story started full of suspense, about a girl who was being tricked by her cousins.

At first, I thought the story was going to be very scary but soon when her cousins came out and made fun of her, it dawned upon me that the story was funny. I liked the story because it had a happy and fun ending.

Not my day

This is with reference to the story “Not my day” by Iman Ashraf (YW, April 14).

The story tells us the reality of life that things are not going to turnout in our favour every day. Sometimes we have to make compromises, as we can’t enjoy the comforts of life all the time.

And one should remember that there is always something good even in a bad situation. We should learn to look for the good thing to live happily.

Bounties unbounded

This is regarding the article “Bounties unbounded” by Yasmin Elahi (YW, May 19). The writer described physical, moral, economical, social and spiritual benefits of Ramazan so it was quite valuable lesson we need to learn from.

Indeed, Ramazan is the holiest month and fasting is of great benefits as it improves our devotion, self-control, and compassion for the poor. Fasting for the entire month is meant to inculcate the philosophy and values of fasting within us as a regular spiritual practice. The month of Ramazan is a blessed month for many reasons, so we must make sure to take advantage of all of its blessings.

The day my life changed

This is with reference to the story “The day my life changed” by Muhammad Ibrahim Shafi (YW, May 5).

When I read this story, I remembered my childhood days when I used to behave badly with my family, and disrespected the disabled as well as old people.

Soon my parents got to know about my rude behaviour and they explained to me how I was hurting people. They also asked me how I would feel if someone else misbehaved with my parents the way I did with others.

It made me speechless. That day, I realised my mistakes and promised my parents that I would never bother anyone again.
