Hey Ed,
December is my favourite time of the year, and not just because Karachi finally gets some relief from the heat that lasts almost all year. I love the yearly round-ups that appear every week. ‘The best of 2025 – books that defined the year’ by Tooba Ghani was good, but I was a bit disappointed because it was so brief. I feel many more books could have been included, especially given how many were published this year.
In today’s issue (12 December), I really enjoyed the movies round-up ‘2025 in film: blockbusters, reboots, and heartstoppers – cinema in full colour’. F.T did a wonderful job summarising the films that won audiences’ hearts around the world, and like F.T, I was disappointed by the new Captain America. I’m looking forward to reading the music review of 2025 as well.
Good going, Us!

Hi Ed,
What a gem of a writer Amna Ameer is! In today’s Us (5 December), her ‘Letter to myself’ completely bowled me over. Her poems and articles are melancholic yet so relatable that I find myself nodding along while reading them. In the ‘Think Pad’ section, ‘Finding inner peace – Japanese techniques to stop overthinking’ by Muhammad Ismail Moroojo was a very useful read. Trust the Japanese to have an answer for every problem! The movie review ‘Gol Bibi o Jang’ by Mannan Samad was indeed a wake-up call. I am alarmed at the rate at which addiction is growing, not only in Balochistan but in Karachi as well, and this issue needs to be highlighted.

Unemployment problem faced by the youth
Dear Editor,
The youth of Balochistan are struggling to find suitable jobs, even though many of them have education and skills. This growing unemployment has become a serious concern for families and is holding back the development of our region. Talented young people are leaving Balochistan in search of better opportunities, while many others remain jobless and discouraged. The shortage of industries, technical institutions, and investment has made the situation even worse. It is important for the government to take meaningful steps by promoting industrial growth, supporting small businesses, and offering vocational training programmes for the youth.
Creating employment will not only reduce poverty but also strengthen the economy and bring peace and stability to the province. I sincerely hope the government will take urgent action to resolve this problem.
