I want to be a "Spider Man" - My 4 year old son replied when asked what he would like to become when he grows up. Those innocent eyes conveyed the earnestness in the reply. When probed further on why he wants to be a spider man, the answer was instantaneous- "Spider man beats the bad boys and saves the good ones". All of us want our children to excel in their careers and be successful. While this

(This is the second part of the article on our overnight camping adventure in Wadi Asima)Normally you would expect a day to dawn amidst the chirping of birds. In our case, the day dawned amidst the rhythmic snoring of my fellow campers. The early morning sun with its gentle warmth coupled with the cold morning air made the camping site even more beautiful.After the ablutions, it was meal time

Wadi Asima ! Wadi Asima ! We shouted excitedly looking at the UAE off-road book. The picture in the book kept staring at us, enticing us to take the adventurous trip. Although the prospect of an overnight camping sounded exotic, the fear of the unknown was lurking on the back of our minds. To keep things simple, we decided to dump the excess baggage (kids!) and travel light.After deliberating for

I gave this speech in this year's humorous speech contest and won the second prize....In this year's new year party, each one of the guests were asked to do an item of entertainment. Some of them did the rock and roll. Some of them did the Cat walk. Being a toastmaster, I wanted to do something that I normally don't do. I gave a speech.Within the first 1 minute, 90% of my audience had switched

A pleasant evening at home and I was watching the wimbledon men's final between Roger Federer Vs Rafel Nadal. Federer was in absolute command and won the first set 6 Love. Being a Federer fan, I was jumping around shouting 6 Love. My 3 yr old son asked " Daddy what does Love mean ?". Without taking my eyes of the television, I replied "Love means nothing". He looked into my eyes and asked "Why is

When man was is in the primitive age, hunting for food, the concept of survival of the fittest was probably applicable. However, for some inexplicable reason, we as a human race have not grown out of this mindset of winning at all costs. We do not even bat an eyelid while stepping on a fellow human to achieve another hollow victory. Love, an all conquering emotion has been quietly sidelined in

In a recent edition of toastmasters, I was given this topic to make an impromptu speech and the following were my random thoughts on the subject.Imagination is better than knowledge ?. A tricky question to answer. Similar to the chicken and the egg scenario, it is not always possible to clearly define what is more important. Take the case of Adam and Eve. When they were frolicking in the garden

How to become a Millionaire in a month ?. How to lose 20 kgs in week ?. How to become an expert speaker in a day ?These are some of the catchy phrases used by people, who want us to use their products. Lured by the attraction of instant results, some of us buy these products and then find that they do not deliver what they actually promise.Imagine the sort of response these companies would get,
