Buuxo Posted January 6, 2009 Dear Editor, Regarding your editorial on 'westernised somali women and age, i am at lost. why anyone would concern themselves with trivial issues like this sir, and why time and time again your respected paper publishes the views of what we call 'the ugly Australians' and not mine. Concerned reader, C.C Originally posted by *Hayat*: Dear Editor, i can't stand these westernised somali girls, please spare us of your dramas. 21 is not a young age nor is 20 or 26 for that matter, accept you are old women, embrace it. What is this reverting back to "ciyaalnimo"?. :mad: , it still does not change anything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hayat Posted January 7, 2009 Dear Editor, can you please tell oz that i was born in a western country- which means i have a physical evidence of my real age . plus i am not having a identity crisis by constently lying to myself about a age i am not and can fully embrace the ageing factor in its many phases. I am not old nor young but ripe with maturity if he is ever more insistent about my age, all he has to do is ask!(pm offcourse). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAXIMUS POWERS Posted January 11, 2009 Dear Editor, I am shocked by the number of people on this forum who use Somalian instead of Somali to describe a somali person. This is really making me angry! I want something done about it! Your Truly, Abbas Barre Editor of Somaliland Today, Saylac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms DD Posted January 11, 2009 How about someone who uses 'worser' in sentences like "There is no worser crime than cheating on your lover"? Can we do something about it Marx? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAXIMUS POWERS Posted January 11, 2009 Are you talking about my response to Nephisa question: Originally posted by Nephisa: Cheating? can you really work through something this big? Originally posted by -MARX-: Capital punishment! There is no worser crime than cheating on your lover! Unfortunately these types of criminal shenanigans are common place in our community these days! The decadence of the west has infiltrated even a society with a high moral fibre like ours! These issues are considered taboos but the very fact that we are able to discuss it in the open is testament to moral decline that has become prevalent in our community! Whats wrong with that! did i make a grammatical error! or are you just shocked with my opinion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kool_Kat Posted January 12, 2009 Dear Editor, Weekends are short, so are the days. The nights are long and cold, it is even worser if I wear socks in the apartment. Is too much to wish for a snow storm, so that classes are cancelled? Sincerely, Ayeeyo Kool Kat Cismaan Cali Faanoole Faro Kamaqodna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AYOUB Posted February 15, 2011 Dear Editor Someone used my paper shredder without my permission, and what had been shredded I turned out to be a photo. I decided to patch it together, since they never bothered to ask to use my property in the first place. What I have is shocking headline-making photograph. Should I pretend I didn't see it, just in case they wanted me to see it anyway or shall I save it for a rainy day.

Faheema. Posted November 22, 2011 The below letters to the editor never got published August 20, 1997 (Submitted to: The Hindu) Dear Editor, Let me come straight to the point – we need to do something about the internet. Internet they call it, but I would say it is ‘dangernet`. All my friends steal a major portion of the money kept in the house for provisions and go to the browsing center. Now, if you are a regular internet user…you know why they sit in the browsing centers for hours on end. I don`t know if you are addicted to porn or chat with girls…but I am sure you understand my concern. We need to stop this internet menace, so please publish this letter. I promise you, I won`t spend the honorarium of Rs 200 on internet. Yours sincerely, JV Rajan, Calcutta Jan 11, 2000 (Submitted to: The Hindu) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Editor, If you remember I had sent you a letter on 20th August 1997 and for some reason – and I am sure it was a good reason – you didn`t publish my letter. I hold no grudge against you. This letter comes to you because I want to bring to notice the plight of people using the road in front of our house. The 50 feet wide road was recently named by our residents association as Anna Kournikova Road after she reached the No 1 ranking for the first time on Nov 22 1999. While I had suggested Steffi Graf, our association`s president – a retired Tam Bram friend of mine – overruled it. I am writing this letter to you because I want to bring to your notice the huge pot holes on the Anna Kournikova road. It has caused us deep anguish and hurt and we are looking at a quick solution. The men in the neighborhood find it difficult to go about their daily life with thoughts about the potholes at the back of their minds. Motorists are known to stop their bikes on the side and drop a tear or two. How could a road named after Anna Kournikova – the lady with such unblemished skin – have so many potholes? Please give it a thought. Yours unblemished, JV Rajan, Madurai Aug 18, 2003 (Submitted to: The New Indian Express) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Editor, If you have just quit your job at The Hindu and joined The New Indian Express, you probably remember my letters of August 20, 1997 & Jan 11, 2000. If you haven`t changed your job recently please ignore the earlier sentence. This letter is to bring to your notice that the glamor quotient in your newspaper has been dipping. In the last six months you have carried only three photos with the navel showing (one of which was a man`s) and only five photos with the cleavage showing (two of which weren`t clear because the color had smudged). Please compare it with the statistics of your glamor quotient between Sept 2002 to Feb 2003 – 16 navel shows, 24 cleavages and 6 bikini shots. Don`t you think there has been a dip? If you publish this letter and send me the honorarium (how much is it now-a-days?) I plan to buy a playboy. Yours, JV Rajan, Madurai Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
