Letter From The Editor

There is a famous Russian saying “ It would be a lie to exaggerate the fact.” This saying aptly describes the over hyped disease AIDS. The people of developing countries have been kept in dark about many but necessary facts about the AIDS. Even the government has not taken pains to aware their own citizens about the facts regrading AIDS only, to exaggerate the particular facts, providing only one test in dilapidated laboratory, enough to stigmatize someone for AIDS.
An article based on BPO, is a count-by-count rebuttle of the lies being spread by the media and a section of the elite. We tried to see the problems arose after flourishment of the BPO industry. The problems are both political and social. This industry has been creating another culture, which is not a result of diffusion of eastern and western culture but a culture based on consumerism i.e., consumerist culture.
This time we have devoted more pages to literary section than earlier. A story about the youth dilemma and frustration due to un-employment where a sensitive poem dealt about the contemporary humanism issue around us. The drama reviews covers the drama organised last month in our city. It is echoing against contemporary social evils that is deeply prevailed in our society. It also dealt the problem related to human rights. Whereas the satirical verses on St. Valentine evoke laughter.
We are getting lots of harsh comments and also wit innumerable appreciations. We tried to cater those news, which are not taken by mainstream media. So we have streamlined our horizon of thoughts and also sense. The main reason behind this is lack of resources. We are down but not out! Our small but honest endeavors will not go into vain………………
ENJOY THE SAMAR!THANK YOU!
