Teachers should have their own web pages

The writer of the letter “Textbooks–a thing of the past?” published on August 29, 2015 deserves appreciation for addressing a fact that prevails among university students nowadays. Nowadays, we, the university students, mostly depend on lecture synopsis and photocopies rather than textbooks. Very few teachers have their own web pages but they don’t update them. It would be helpful for us if teachers maintained and updated web pages regarding lectures on different topics.

Adieu, little Casper

It pained me so much to go through the news of the sad demise of four-year old Muhammad Sadman Casper, the little and popular trekker who loved expeditions at this tender age. He was indeed a brave child. I express deep condolences at the death of this young trekker. His memory will always be alive within the trekker community of our country.
