A TOUCH of genius (with reference to your report about the Imagine Cup in last week's GulfWeekly) Is really what both the writer and editor of this piece did! I guess that is what really sets apart a passionate publication with a vision!

I am thrilled with the level of human impact reporter Anasuya Kesavan managed to capture in this piece and utterly amazed at how the newspaper managed to integrate all the pieces together to deliver a capturing message of innovation to the young audience out there.

Thank you is an understatement!

I AM a regular reader of GulfWeekly's Shopping List, which publishes the price comparison of popular items from supermarkets and hypermarkets.

While appreciating the great efforts of the reporter, I wish to suggest a smart Excel Table format for the same data analysed.

in my opinion, the advantages of publishing the price comparison will benefit readers and your newspaper.

Consumers can make easier price comparisons at a glance, product wise and the sample size of the survey can be increased to cover more supermarkets in the same space available.

Readers are likely to find the suggested format more user friendly, hence the objective of the article is better served.

I enjoy a keen interest in performing qualitative and quantitative comparative market studies of various kinds. I hope GulfWeekly will find my suggestions useful.
