New Jeddah Water front Promenade(corniche..)- Part 2

Jeddah's waterfront is one of the top of the places to visit for all Jeddah residents and visitors of 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. I have already published an article on this New Jeddah water front Promenade-Part 1
The long Jeddah waterfront is divided into many plaza and this time we visited Al-Siyad plaza  and     Al-khalij plaza located exactly opposite to Sheraton hotel. The main attraction in these plaza are children play area, Full fledged body weight gymnasium, Perennial Olive trees, Photo frame entrance to the Bay.

These waterfront plaza are kids friendly, housing well designed play area for children. The play area slides are designed resembling Rhino, Elephant shaped mini slides, School bus and globe themed play area. Children could easily spend hours together playing in the play area. Play area has rubber foam flooring hence no chance of children getting hurt.

There is a full fledged body weight gymnasium, with shoulder press, leg press, chest press, tread mill, back press, Abs builder etc... Fitness freaks can take advantage of the open air gym with zero cost. Few meters away from Gym, there is a swimming area which is under construction and will be completed soon. We can enjoy swimming once it is completed.
 
A leisurely walk for 50meters takes us to an area where there are three perennial olive trees, origin from Spain. The trees are well barricaded to avoid any damage. Its a pleasant surprise to see olive trees in the waterfront. Those who haven't seen olive trees can have a close look at the olive trees.
 
Few meters stroll from the olive trees you can find the Red sea observation bay,which was once a fishing bay. Don't forget to take pictures in-front of the silver colored photo frame structures
 
One can get a fabulous glimpse of the fully illuminated high raised buildings located along the corniche road. There are many star hotels and resorts located very close to the water front.

The authorities has posted supervisors along the waterfront to help the public, in case if you need any help you can contact anyone of them. But it is extremely important that we remain safe and not cross any barricades or fence. Be reminded again Jeddah waterfront is extremely humid so carry plenty of water to keep you and your family hydrated specially during summer(hot and humid). There are few stalls selling water, juices, tea and coffee but to be on the safer side carry cold water with you.
 
Hope you enjoyed the blog article. Do visit the waterfront with your family and friends and give feedback on your experience. There are still many plaza to explore in Jeddah waterfront I will meet with new updates soon with another blog post

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity.

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
