Dear Ed,
I recently read Us magazine for the first time in a long while after returning from the UK, where I completed my master’s degree. I was delighted to see that Us has evolved into a magazine with more mature content, truly catering to youth interests. Ed, Us is not a magazine for children - and while I have nothing against them - it's refreshing to see that the content now reflects this focus. However, I am disappointed that the magazine's size and number of pages remain unchanged. I remember when Us had 24 pages, and I’d love to see it restored to that former glory. I understand that everything is moving to digital, and print media is struggling, but as long as Us is still around, please bring back the magazine we loved in its fullest form.

Dear Ed,
I'm a devoted fan of Saniyyah Eman and have missed her stories in Us for quite some time. Through this letter, I’d like to sincerely request that she consider writing for Us once again, as her stories brought unique insights and joy to readers like me. I’d also love to see the ‘Ground Reality’ section featured more often. Over the years, it’s been disappointing to see many beloved sections, like ‘Us on Campus,’ disappear and to witness so many talented writers stop contributing. Seeing Us magazine without these cherished sections sometimes feels like a loss, as they added so much value and excitement. Lastly, I’d appreciate a feature on the recent achievements of Pakistan’s cricket team, who have shown incredible resilience, rising from setbacks to make an inspiring comeback. Their story would be a perfect addition to Us, celebrating their hard work and dedication.

Dear Editor,
I really enjoy the poems in the ‘Poets’ Corner’. The great thing about this section is that new poets keep making their debuts, so even when some of my old favorites move on for their own reasons, there are always new voices to enjoy. In the November 8 edition of Us, the cover story ‘Walking: The ultimate low-risk, high-reward exercise’ was excellent and very useful. I also like the recipes published from time to time and would appreciate more healthy and spice-free recipes to encourage young people to eat well.
