Dear WAVE,
Since I am not in Nepal, I regularly check your online edition. Your February issue was really exciting because I'm a big fan of music. Wish you all the best always.

Hi Wavemag Crew,
I think your feature An Informed Choice was of great help. I am currently in UK doing my A-levels and I needed some guidance about Universities. Your article gave me just that and I'd like to thank you. It's good to find music, arts and education knit into one magazine.

Dear Ed,
It somehow feels like the magazine prints a lot of advertisements. Is there anything you can do to cut that down?

Dear Aymad,
WAVE magazine maintains a strict 70-30 ratio on magazine space for articles and advertisement. As a rule we have never used more than 30% of the magazine for ads. In fact, most times we only use about 25% for ad while the remaining 75% is used for editorial content. This balance makes it possible to bring out WAVE every month. We hope you understand.

Hi Ed,
WAVE was just superb this month. I liked the interview with Mukti Shakya and The Uprising was fabulous. An Informed Choice gave me a lot information about studying abroad and I hope it will help me in my future plans. But one thing that was missing was good songs in song book.

Dear Sagar,
We hope you enjoy this month's Grammy Special song book.

Hi Ed,
I was really happy with the event Music For Humanity. I am glad that Nepali bands came out to support an important cause like this. I would like to thank them all through this letter.

Dear WAVE,
Last month your magazine was worth spending 10 dollars. I'm a great fan of prominent fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons and you never post any articles about fashion designers. How about a poster of her?

Dear reader,
We are glad you liked our last issue, but where did you pay $10 for it? Our cover charge for the magazine is only NPR 35, INR 25 on news stands and $2.50 in the US [subscription rates].

Hi WAVE,
Lots of thanks for your February issue. Though I was a bit upset because there wasn't anything special for Valentine's Day, articles like An Informed Choice were really helpful. Hats off to Srijana for that.

Hi,
I read about the Nepal Star program on WAVE. The name just didn't sound right. Since it looks like American Idol, may be the name should be Nepalis Idol. I hope my voice reaches NTV.

Dear reader,
The reason the show's name is Nepal Star and not Nepali Idol is because it's not an official Idol series being held in Nepal. In order to organize the Nepali Idol, a company or person would need to acquire legal rights from the original Idol show and pay them royalty as well.

Dear WAVE,
I am a regular reader of your mag. Thanks for giving us an indepth look at the underground music scene [The Uprising]. The feature on Mukti N Revival was good too. How about more metal posters?
