PleaSe -Ed

It has been six months since i took over as Zillai


Gazette’s editor and it’s been six "tiresome"


months, thanks to my limited and unpolished


writing skill in vaiphei. You might be asking,


"Tiresome?, it’s only one issue a month". To be


frank, there isn’t enough news item or articles


that i can publish even with little effort. I really


have to work hard to gather the words & bits


that could fill these 2 pages, maybe work even


harder than on my own books, and this really


wears me out. Moreover, the gazette contents


are not upto the mark and sometimes i find it


difficult to relate it to Zillai, and our community


as whole. There are no journalists’ or individuals


who bring news or articles to me. I have to


call each and every person i can think of, in order


to know about any news or events, and i’m


sure you all know it’s a difficult task. There are a


few people who readily helps me or would help


me whenever i’m in dilemma regarding gazette,


and i’m really grateful to them, but i don’t want


to keep asking for help. I want this problem to


solved by US, with everyone involved.


First of all, we all can share our experiences


from workplaces, while shopping, while playing,


etc, or something we have come across


that’s really funny or something that would be


of great help to others. A person working in a


restaurant can share about his/her experiences


like: good or bad encounters he/she had, how


to behave inside a restaurant, what you require


to get a job in a restaurant, etc,etc.. This is just


an example, and there are lots of other things


we can actually share with others, and sometimes


be beneficial.


Secondly, we all know the amount of SMSs we


send each other, and there is no denying it. And


as a part of the society, someone always knows


something.


All i’m asking is you


all to spare a fraction of


those SMSs to report


or convey the news you


know so that i won’t need


to hunt for them.


In this way we can work


towards improving Gazette


and its contents.


Moreover, let’s not be


indifferent and atleast


try and send some feedbacks.


I hope you all read


this and pay heed to my


suggestions and remorse.
