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 some
timesbe 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.
