The Growth of the Soil
Shykh Seraj, an agricultural development activist is my inspiration. His relentless attempts to improve agriculture and farmers are praiseworthy. By turning media's focus to our tradition, he provided us valuable information on agriculture in a pleasurable manner.  His programmes 'Mati O Manush, 'Krishoker Eid Ananda,' 'Fere Cholo Matir Tane' and etc are very inspiring. Our young generation should give priority to agriculture and come forward with entrepreneurial thoughts. After all, we want many more personalities like Shykh Seraj in our country.

The Star's Re-vamp
I must admit that I had a shock last Friday when the magazine came to me in a different format! I must have missed the announcement somewhere.
But I must say that I was thoroughly impressed. I loved the vibrancy, the colours and also the articles. Good luck to the new team!

Women of the World
I would like to thank the Star team for the issue on International Women's Day. The stories of women entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals were highly encouraging. It's very inspiring to read those success stories of how these women have overcome a lot of barriers created by our society. As a reader I would like to read more positive and inspirational stories like this.

The Story of the Star
I was very surprised to see the very last issue of the Star magazine (27 February, 2015). I used to wonder who the mysterious brains behind this amazing publication are. The issue revealed the wonder. We also discovered two great personalities of Bangladesh – Dr Nizamuddin Ahmed and Shykh Seraj. I hope the new format of the Star will give us more amazing stories every weekend.
