I find it intriguing that sometimes when I submit a letter for publiction in this column, I would consider the matter to be interesting and informative and useful to readers and that it would receive favourable consideration from the publisher. But to my disappointment, it would not be included. On the other hand, when I am not sure that my letter would even be looked at, to my pleasant surprise, it would receive the coveted position in the pink shaded area in the top left part of the page. Having already published some 325 letters to date, my target is to make four centuries before I stop putting pen to paper or stop tapping on the keyboard, for that matter.
I am disappointed that like other subscribers to these papers, I also sent in my story about my emigration from Dar-es-Salaam to the UK. It seems to have been put aside due to the space requirement in relation to the Brexit saga and the developments that ensued. I feel that my story is interesting and infromative and hope that now that the tide of uncertainty created after the resignation of the former Prime minister has been lifted, CB bhai’s brainchild, the unique and exemplary column under the heading of “remember, recollect, recharge” will be resurreceted and the publication of readers’ experiences will resumed. After all, which other newspaper provides such a platform for readers to express their woes or happiness on arrival to this country!

Dear Mr Sheth
We plan to reinstate the column in the latter part of the year. We are disappointed that we haven't been able to restart it as planned, but all your efforts are due its credit and like always we hope to make you happy in the coming months.
