With Pleasant weathers returning to Jeddah ,with temperatures between 23 to 30 degrees is a perfect day for outdoor activity. Its double Damaka in Jeddah, perfect weather condition and Jeddah's new waterfront. Myself along with my family members have been to the water front a week ago and it doesn't fail to amaze us and other visitors. Jeddah's waterfront is on top of the places to visit for all Jeddah residence and visitors to Jeddah. It was really a great and fun filled experience for the entire family. The main attractions  of the new water front are Prince Faisal Bin Fahad walk way, The promenade, Fountains, Walking& cycling track, the 3D sign board "Jeddah" and of course the Red Sea Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Walk Way: Prince Faisal Bin Fahad walk way is a pedestrian walk over bridge to cross Corniche  road on to the Jeddah waterfront from Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Road.

      This post is written for the Inspire Edition: 199  " what are the 3 most important values that you would teach your child? #responsibleparent " One of the popular Tamil saying "ஐந்திலே வளையாதது, ஐம்பதிலே வளையுமா? Equivalent of this Tamil saying in english is "Bend the twig, Bent the tree". If we need to have responsible citizens we need to teach the values of life in a very early age. Once put on track at an early age, the child won't derail from the values taught when they grow-up. Everyone would like their children to be good in studies, sports, arts or any other discipline, but it  depends on the natural talent of  the child and their personal interest. More than any of these talents the kids need to learn the values of life without out which any form of talent is useless. Remember we need to teach children 3 ty's which will  help them to become responsible citizens in the future. The three 3ty's are Honesty, Mo

What happens If... post deals with negative thoughts which flashes in our mind when we are planning to pursue our dreams or ambition. The ambition need not be creating a billion dollar company, but it can be anything in day today life to dreaming of becoming a successful politician... The most frequent thought which flashes in anyones mind is What happens if I fail.. What happens if I could not perform.. etc.. especially when one has to move from his/her comfort zone. Moving out from the comfort zone is one of the toughest tasks as you may have to sacrifice the comfy working environment, flashing monthly salaries etc.. Negative thoughts brings negative energy and pulls one down and makes the most easiest task look harder. Better said than done, launch a counter attack on the negative thought, What happens if I succeed.. What happens if I perform well.. Ya first you asked yourself What happens if I fail.. which is answered by another question... what if I succeed..    Have you

On a rainy day a young women was walking up and down the corridor biting her pendant and was getting restless with every bike passing by.. It seems she is waiting for someone and was growing anxious every moment...   Varsha and Siddharth were recently married and had moved to Chennai. They live in first floor, single bedroom house known as the Line house or Row house in a typical Chennai neighborhood.

  Feasting the food with eyes are as relishing and satisfying as tasting a good food.

  Do I really need to..... As I scrolled through my whatsapp messages, I came across an interesting letter written by school teacher to the parents of the students which quoted “ Your children will be sitting for exams soon and you all hope they would pass with high grades. It would be great to see all students pass with good grades.. In case if your kid didn’t get good grades, Remember musician don’t need mathematics, Sports man don’t need physics, Artist don’t need Biology. Every student has different talent. Life is not only about studies, encourage and motive your children and you will see them conquer great heights” What we can do: We don't need to inspire those who study hard with absolute passion, instead inspire those who have special talents of being a musician, sportsmen, artist etc...etc.. to take up education and use education and education system to their advantage. Isn’t it a great letter written by a responsible teacher. Hope everyone gets such a great t

Recently Second series of the movie is also released. Interesting the movies revolves around the Unemployed Civil Engineer who struggles and finds his way to complete the low cost housing project with the help of other unemployed engineers.
