It may surprise Khaleej Times readers but I hardly know this week’s venue for the Dubai Invitational on the DP World Tour, the Dubai Creek Resort, very well despite being a Dubai resident. I have played it perhaps five or six times as we very rarely go to this part of Dubai. There is always plenty to do in where I live in Dubai Marina and the surrounding areas, the other end of the city. My main base for practice is at Jumeirah Golf Estates, but I also practice at The Els Club, Dubai and Trump International, Golf Club, Dubai…

Dear Parents, Parenting, as you’d all agree, is a journey that lasts a lifetime, bringing with it a melange of experiences and emotions each day, through which not only do our children grow but we too evolve as adults of different ages. We learn from mistakes and through experimentation, and eventually realise that there is no single, sure-shot strategy to ‘good parenting’. It is interesting how parents tend to think that things will get less stressful as the child grows, only to recognise that only the nature of responsibilities changes and not the parental function as it is. You remain…
Radio has long been a powerful communication tool. And even in the internet age in the 21st Century, it remains so. Perhaps not as relevant as when AM/FM broadcasts were the primary way folks got their information and entertainment at home or even when it was a major feature in the car. But radio has evolved as a technology in the decades nearly 150 years since Marconi did his thing. That brings us to SiriusXM. The (very) abbreviated history is that once upon a time, there were two competing satellite radio companies. They merged, grew stronger, and evolved beyond only…
How would you react if someone slipped a twig onto your finger, pledging marriage, devotion, and unwavering commitment — like a scene out of an old movie? In a different take, could you say yes to an engagement ring that would cost as low as Dh20? When asked the hypothetical question, a colleague’s stunned expression and sorrowful shake of the head spoke volumes. She isn’t alone in her reaction — across social media, many this week are expressing disbelief too. It all started when an anonymous Facebook post went viral in the Philippines, with the poster asking for advice about…
Thousands of Gaza kids estimated to have lost a parent in the three months of war When 7-year-old Laila Al Sultan wakes up at night she shouts for her father, killed in the same Israeli air strike that injured her leg in a Gaza war thought to have deprived thousands of Palestinian children of one or both parents. She and her brother Khaled, 4, roll around on the floor of the shanty they now live in amid a tent city of homeless people, facing up to a life with no father as their mother struggles to cope in the rubble…
