THE BIG STORY in this week’s issue was truly an eye-opener (‘Kidnapped – trying to feed our families’, October 23). I could not believe the plight of the poor fishermen who not only have to fight abject poverty but ruthless pirates as well who kidnap them for ransom. I wonder why the police and other government agencies are not doing anything to protect these men from these criminals – it’s shocking.

THE ARTICLE ON Indian fishermen, who are kidnapped on the high seas by pirates gave a grim insight into their lives. I was saddened by the insensitiv­ity of the authoritie­s, who are doing nothing to protect these poor people. They are only trying to earn an honest living.

I COULD NOT BELIEVEMY

FAVOURITE MAGAZINE Friday had a one-on-one withmy favourite star John Travolta (‘I want to be Bond... James Bond’, October 23).

The first time I watched him was in Grease many years ago and was smitten by his stylish moves. But when I saw him in Pulp Fiction and

Swordfish, I realised that he is not only a good-looking star but also a talented actor. It’s a pity that his acting prowess has not been recognised by the Hollywood fraternity. Claire T, via email

THE JOHN TRAVOLTA INTERVIEW was brilliant. What I loved most was how, in spite of achieving somuch, he is still so passionate about his craft and wants to push the envelope further. I hope some movie mogul reads this interview and casts John as Bond, for I’m sure he’ll make a great one. A real candid interview with one of Hollywood’s biggest talents. I loved every word of it!

I THOUGHT THE PROFILE ON Dr Fredric Brandt, the specialist whomade Botox a common phenomenon, was ironic (‘Botox backlash’, October 23). The fact that this man took his own life despite his achievemen­ts proves that good looks alone cannot guarantee happiness.
