Corniche-The Beautiful Seaside in Dammam (In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).

aveekoiqbalneep

We used to reside in the city of Dammam (KSA) and our house was very near to the Corniche.

The sea side is known as the Corniche over there.The Corniche was a beautiful place and the sea ending was decorated with beautiful white stones.In the night, a visit there would feel as beautiful and marvellous as visiting any famous place of tourism.You can see the Persian Gulf over there and the colour of the water, explains the beauty of Persia, that it once was.The water was deep dark blue at night and calm and serene. Sometimes it felt as it was a part of Hafiz’s poetry.The place was so beautiful. On the opposite side of the corniche, there used to be a bookstore named “Jarir” and ma and baba would frequently buy me books and cds from there. Those were the inexplicable and undefinable moments of our lives.Hope someday, that I, ma and baba can see the Corniche again, even may it be in our dreams.The time has long gone by, from when I had last seen it. It feels as if I have lost my long beloved friend, whom I may never get back again. Time comes and goes away but only memories remain. I was a teen then and those days were days spent in heaven in lieu of bad days for me. I still feel that those days should come back and I can relive those moments again because believe it or not, the time spent there was as beautiful as getting 100 out of 100 in mathematics exam. Sometimes God gives so much and loves so much that afterwards everything feels empty and meaningless.

I have many memories and each is as precious as a priceless gem.Maybe sometime later, I would share one of them with you all.In the meantime, adios and khuda hafiz.

Toy Auto.(Autorickshaws).

A child’s imagination is captured with many things. Toys are the foremost things, though mobile phones and their apps have done their best to capture the toymaker’s market, but still today, toys do play an important role and are still the favourite mode of keeping a child happy, while he grows up in this materialistic world.

When I was a child, there had been a sudden induction of toy autorickshaws in the local supermarkets. After seeing them for over a month, I asked ma and baba to buy me one and they bought me one, on the next trip to the store. I was supremely happy on getting one. My joy had no bounds.I came home and there was no separating me from the toy auto.The toy auto rickshaw that I had got was big in size and it’s handle were manoeuvrable and it’s back seat was so big that I could easily fit in four of my favourite action figurines and the most exciting and marvellous part was that you could turn the meter down and on travelling a good amount of distance, it would show the meter as 1 then 2 and so forth. After making the auto go round and round, around the house, I would charge my action figurines, ten rupees, twenty rupees and if they didn’t pay, then they would get benched from further playing with me.I had a toy figurine whose palms would fit the steering of the rickshaws’ handle and I would designate him as the driver of my auto and at the end of the day, I would feel that my toy figurine was tired after driving around the auto for the whole day.

Those were such good days that whether it be heaven or hell, rain or snow, nothing except playing with ma,baba and toys would matter.

Childhood goes away very fast and nonsensehood stays for long. What an unendurable injustice!

Fairy Tales.

aveekoiqbalneep

Fairy tales are a world of delight for children. Without reading fairy tales, a child cannot grow up and one who does not, truly misses something which is a part of every folklore and civilization.

An evening without a fairy tale is as empty as a bottle of plum juice without plum and juice. A mother’s delight and hardwork is a fairy tale. It is itself an institution, which teaches children the most important aspects and lessons of their lives. Children can learn very fast and the right teaching given at the right moment always brings out good results.

Fairy tales have been a part of my life as well.I have grown up reading, fairies,goblins, pixies and those legendary fairy godmother’s tales. My mother had introduced them to me and still does and she is the one who bought me those books about fairy tales. She loves them and has taught me their importance.

There are few legendary fairy tales of which movies have been made and books are reprinted millions and millions of times, but Enid Blyton’s fairy tales are the best. Without reading them any child’s learning is incomplete.

When in a sad mood, read a fairy tale. When in sombre mood, read a very good fairy tale. When in a joyous mood, read a fairy tale and when in an all-weather mood, read a fairy tale.

A fairy tale makes the reader enter the world of magic, which without any discrimination allows one to enter those wonderfull and magical worlds where only a select few can enter.

Read a fairy tale to your child and see the wonders that it does on him or her.

Sometimes it is good to be a child.

Being an adult is no fun at all.

Sliced Cakes.

Sliced cakes are great to eat. These cakes are now the new fave in the market. One of the special characteristics of these cakes are that they stay good for atleast a month and are good for a short tiffin. They come in different varieties such as vanilla, chocolate, plum etc.

Sliced cakes have been there since eternity, but a long cake nearly twelve inches long, sliced into medium thick sliced pieces is something which I have not seen until recently.

They are handy, proportionate and not messy to eat. They best make for school tiffins and small journeys to parks and other places. One whole sliced cake is enough to fill the appetite of three persons at a time. Out of all the varieties available, vanilla is the best to eat.

 

Adios!
