Q Readers’ Pulse LETTERS FROM OUR BEST CRITICS AND ADMIRERS
KUDOS!
C
ongratulations to the Indian team for winning
the Blind Cricket World Cup 2018 after
beating Pakistan in the finals! But despite the
victory, monetary funds and fair recognition still
remain a distant dream for our spirited visually
impaired players. Time the BCCI took it upon itself
to support the players, and the media too gave
them their due!

BETTER FACILITIES
INSPIRATION!
Y
our ‘Fit & Famous’ article (Jan
2018) featuring Milind Soman
was awesome and an inspiration to
all age groups - from teenagers to
senior citizens. His determination
and dedication towards fitness is
commendable.!

HAIR APPARENT
I
am a 62-year-old woman, and have been a photographer
till the age of 52. I feel men who promote physical fitness
in your magazine should not shave their body hair, as hair
makes them look manly. If they think their chest contours
are masked by an overabundance of hair, only the chest (not
underarms) should be freshly shaved, just before the photo
shoot. Three-four-day-old bristles should not be seen.

REQUEST!
I
am an 80-year-old subscriber of your magazine, and have
been reading ‘H&N’ since years. I like the articles featured.
A suggestion: Please include more queries in the ‘Q&A’
section. They are very informative and helpful.

T
wo children younger than five die every minute.
There is one government doctor for every
10,189 people, one hospital bed for every 2,046
people, and only one in five doctors in rural India
are qualified to practice medicine. These dismal
figures prove that despite a growing economy,
India lags terribly behind in healthcare. Hope the
powers-to-be seriously make efforts to improve
healthcare facilities in the country.

WAKE UP!
A
ccording to a recent report, women’s health
is ailing in
India. We have
the largest
number of
anaemic
women in the
world. And
this is because
women eat
an unbalanced diet devoid of fresh fruits, green
vegetables, pulses, meat and milk products that
are required to lead a healthy life. The need of the
hour is for women to prioritize themselves. Wake
up ladies, and take charge of your health!
