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.

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…
I had said this earlier: If I am not writing, I am dreaming. I have a belated addendum to that disclosure: If I am not dreaming, I am people watching, or crowd watching. Some friends knew about it although I was in denial, but I mostly kept it to myself due mainly to the self-doubts whether such a strange pastime would smack of being a voyeur, a stalker, a gawker, a pervert, or even a psychopath. Truth be told, I am one who indulges in weekend people-watching — shamelessly and without taking precautions — having memorised the wikiHow manual ‘How…
