Great expectations

Sir, — During the 125 years celebrations of The Hindu, Mr. Vajpayee said the media should be "the voice of the voiceless" and "the hope of the hopeless".

Newspapers have a life span of just a few hours, and end up in a grocery store as the cheapest available packaging material! It could be too much to expect them to perform the sort of miracles Mr. Vajpayee yearns for.

K. Kumara Sekhar,

Eluru, A.P.

Sir, — Reading The Hindu is one of the most effective ways of improving English, especially for the students who are appearing for various entrance tests in which English is a major selection criteria.
