EDITOR’S NOTE

"Recognize yourself in he and she who are not like you and me."  ― Carlos Fuentes

This week Shahpar Selim does a double take on a childhood favourite, reminding us that while we are 'LOLing' at the world around us (or in our computers), we must remember to laugh at ourselves too. We also have two poems on an issue that made the headlines all of last week. Though the latest chapter itself seems to have come to an end, the bigger story, unfortunately, will continue to unfold in other places, in other ways. The deduction minus the conclusion? Everyone seeks a better way of life – it's only a twist of fate that puts the 'he' and 'she' out to sea and 'you' and 'me' on solid ground.
