Sharjah- My City, My First Love

Sharjah – My City, My first Love :)

When my family and I shifted to the United Arab Emirates 15 years ago, I didn’t know that this country will become a significant part of my life. Throughout these years, Ive seen different shades of my city Sharjah and I have to say that I am quite impressed with the developments and the progress made in this beautiful city. I deeply and immensely love my city Sharjah and feel that its one of the best and the most blissful cities in this world… Sharjah has successfully made a place for itself in my heart. The feelings I shared about this emirate are inexplicable. Sharjah is and will always remain my first love. The traditional exterior of this city has made me experience a blend of cultures and gave me a divine sense of belonging. When I wake up every morning, the crisp of the leaves, the sounds of the soft wind and the birds chirping make me feel energetic and enthusiastic. These natural aspects make me feel that everything is mine. When I step out in the open, there is a freshness in the air which relaxes my mind and puts my heart to rest. I indulge in the beauty of Sharjah with every passing second.

 

 

Sharjah is a beautiful city located in the heart of the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah provides us with a praise-worthy example on how unconditional beauty is always confined in simplicity.

Rich in modesty and culture, Sharjah offers us with some attention-grabbing and exciting locations. Being one of the most populous emirate, it is very unlikely to see the streets of Sharjah empty, yet there is silence and feeling of relaxation and bliss maintained. The view and the landscape of the city is exhilarating and can leave one in a state of bewilderment. The spectacular garden areas never fail to attract the environment enthusiasts. Additionally, the golden sandy beaches and the pristine and crystal clear waters are found to be the most desirable by the tourists and the residents of the city.

The magnificent museums engraved with historical and impressively beautiful sculptures can leave one dumbfounded and familiarizes them with heritage and the history of this cultural city. 

Sharjah is a perfect destination which offers a complete package of enjoyment and fun while strictly adhering to religious and cultural values.

There are many opulent places in Sharjah as well . Al Qasba is an excellent location which is visited by many families residing here. The fine dining restaurants offer people with traditional and exquisite cuisines. The middle-eastern food is the most palatable and tantalizing.  Here, one can take a boat ride around the canal and enjoy the soft breeze and the tepid weather or have a ride on the mystical ‘Eye of the Emirate’ and experience the electrifying view of the city from the top.

 

The newly made Majaz Waterfront gives one an insight on how this city has reached the heights of success and prosperity in the recent years. This place represents a modern and a highly established Sharjah. The vibrant colours of the water fountain places unceasing enthusiasm in ones heart and makes them fall in love with this city once again.

Sharjah can also be called “The City of Lights”. Even at midnight, one does not feel isolated because of the magical lights that brighten up the entire city. These lights transfix people and represent the energetic exterior of this city. The Sharjah Light Festival is also celebrated with a lot of pomp and triumph.

 

Moreover, Sharjah has a chain of brilliant resorts and hotels that provide the tourists with a gratifying atmosphere, thus enhancing the tourism industry of this city. Tourists can indulge in exuberant activities such as archaeology, camel riding , sand boarding and canoeing which are all fairly enjoyable.

Sharjah has not only excelled in the fields of tourism and social development but has also achieved tremendous appreciation and success in the educational and industrial fields. The American University of Sharjah is one of the top ranked and the most eminent universities in the middle east. It offers student with a brilliant campus and wide variety of courses to select from. Sharjah has also been the pioneer or the initiator of educational institutions in the UAE. The government of Sharjah has widely invested in vocational education and educational infrastructure so as to improve the quality of teaching in the region. It is an interesting fact that the first newspaper was launched in the city of Sharjah itself in the year 1927.

 

The Sharjah Art Foundation provides people with the enchanting opportunity to exhibibt their artistic skills and paint the way to their dreams. The Sharjah Book Fair is a place defined to be the readers paradise. Filled with enthralling and imaginative books, it is a perfect way to captivate young minds. Due to an increase in the global demand of commodities, many industries have been established in Sharjah which are running successfully.

Globalization  has also laid many impactful consequences on Sharjah. Sharjah has witnessed a remarkable change throughout these years. When you step out from your house, you will come across groups of people from different nationalities and the astounding part is that everyone bonds so well with each other. The unity amongst people is the biggest strength of this city.

Like any other  city in this world, Sharjah as well has its imperfections. But, I have learnt to embrace this city for its sweet imperfections. Sharjah has been my home for 15 years now. With every passing year, this city has taught me a new lesson. This city familiarized me with reality. I will never forget the love and the memories I have shared with this beautiful city. Sharjah gave us 1000 reasons to smile. That’s why we always say ‘’ SMILE YOU ARE IN SHARJAH’’

 

 

Lots of love

The endearing love of my life!

Hey guys. So, I wrote a poem on the idea that a husband is expressing his love for his wife who became paralyzed in an alarming and a distressing accident.

The sublime words of love you imprinted in my heart

Are the ones which will always prevent us both from falling apart

You're my love, you're my life 

We both took vows of incessantly supporting each other all day and all 

night 

I love u from deep within my heart. 

You're the soul of my life, my precious jewel. 

Difficulties and problem are prevalent in everyone's life. 

But with your immense  love and support, I managed to tackle them all. 

In times of pain, anguish and melancholy, you held my hand and comforted me with your soft ways.

When I was lonely and distressed, you became my biggest support and companion and I can't thank u enough for that .

Now, your lips have become cold, cheeks have become pale and eyes have become sore.

But, in this time of grief I'll become your biggest strength.

Because in my heart, love for you is galore.

I still cannot forget the sound of your piercing cries.
The picture of you throbbing in immense pain can certainly not be erased from my mind.

Even though you are silent, your eyes speak the language of love.
 The love you have for me and the divine love we share for the world. 

My world became joyous from the day you stepped into my house. Your face enlightened my mornings  and your eyes pacified my nights. 

I love you unconditionally 

It's so hard to express. 

My love for you crosses boundaries 

I know that one day you will be back to your normal self.

Yes, I'm devastated but the thought of having u by my side is what keeps me going. 

People sometimes say to me" How can one indulge in a state as sad and profound as yours?"

They fail to realize that your recovery is the purpose of my life 

In my mind, your pleasing memories reside 

You have to live- for me and for the sake of our enriching love 

Our relationship also represents friendship, pertinence and a heart warming trust 

 Our love is not weak that it will fade because of this one accident.

We both have to make this last forever. 

Death is truly inevitable.

I hope it comes to me before you.

I cannot see you fading in a bundle of pain. 

You're the warmth of my heart and the apple of my eye

We share our love and life and together we both shall vanish in the sky .

 

 

 

 

Thought of the Day - (Day 2)

The Building Block of our life (Informative post)

Education!

We are living 21st century where education has become an extremely significant part of our life. In the past few years, education was considered as a want and was only available to the affluent. Families who were well off were the only ones who had access to proper education. But in today's era, education has it's own importance and it has become an economic imperative. Eduction should not only be made available to people who are bounded by immense wealth and luxury but it should be made available to everyone dwelling in a particular country.  

Education imposes many positive consequences on the economy as a whole.  The country with more of educated people will benefit more since they will have a greater input of human capital. Also educated people contribute well to the national output of a county. This may result in greater wealth creation.

Education also results in the expansion of knowledge and creativity and helps to familiarize us with different aspects of our magnificent world. 
I feel very proud to say that governments of various countries are taking steps to to initiate  educational institutions, invest in vocational education and educational infrastructure and improve the quality of teaching at places which are devoid of education. 

Education is an extremely crucial and a valuable asset, and we should thank the Almighty for making it available to us.
The importance of education is today's world in inexplicable

I visit Pakistan almost every year. At times when I'm in Karachi, I feel completely sad and distressed to see how children who are extremely willing and determined to get educated have been deprived of it. Education is the building block of ones life and significantly contributes in building up your entire personality. Lack of education in Pakistan is a sign of a disintegrated nation in the future. If people are not made aware of wide spread problems through schooling, then the correct measures may not be taken.  

It is a coherent debate that education leads to misguidance. 
However, in countries and regions where misguidance is increasing on a daily rate, education is extremely helpful and beneficial. Thus, making this argument certainly invalid.

Thought of the Day💗

Malala Yousafzai- The Daughter of the World💗

Malala Yousafzai- the daughter of the world !

1 year ago,  a new historical chapter began, when an adolescent 15 year old naive Pakistani girl was shot at the Swat Valley by the barbaric Taliban militants. It was a moment of deep and profound sadness for the entire nation because Malala Yousafzai was shot just because she raised her voice against injustice and took the daring step of fighting for her educational rights.
Malala Yousafzai had to endure immense pain and hardships and it's commendable to say that she managed to fight death and come out of the perils as strong as ever. At this moment, she has adequate strength and resilience and is high on self-esteem.
Malala Yousafzai is an epitome of bravery and valor! This young Pakistani lass redefines the word'courage' in the most brilliant of ways. She is a young achiever and has accomplished so much at such a tender age. She provides us with a praise worthy example on how we
can attain whatever we have always wished for if we have enough hope and determination.
She gave rise to a ray of hope in the hearts of young girls who are devoid of education and are deprived of their rights.  Malala Yousafzai exhibits gallantry and fearlessness and is determined to bring a positive change to our world.
Imagine! A young girl who was shot in the swat valley by a group of uncivilized men had the confidence to stand in front of many eminent global leaders and left them completely bewildered by the intensity of her speech.
Her determination and trust in God even led to her winning the children's peace price award . Isn't that too big of an achievement ?

Malala Yousafzai symbolizes  hope, courage and wisdom.. She made the entire world realize that nothing is impossible. Her focus and willingness made everybody love, appreciate and respect her. Her incessant efforts made her a young and a truly deserving leader of today's youth. She sets an excellent example for today's generation.
A shining star, a leader in the making, an inspiration to millions, Malala is definitely one of my role models. I deeply respect and love her.

Her very own father said the words, "Malala is not only my daughter but she is the daughter of the world"

Patience, tolerance, hate and anger...

note : This post was supposed to be put up during the month of Ramadan. Sorry for the delay.

Hey everyone.. Ramadan kareem to all. In this blessed month, the gates of paradise are open and the satan is locked. So, pray as much as you can and abstain from all sorts of evil deeds.
The one life lesson I've learnt recently is to control your anger and be patient and tolerant if you wish to stabilize any kind of situation. We human beings should learn to be patient and tolerant at all times.
To me patience represents peace and peace represents silence and wisdom. And silence is deeply beautiful and profound.

Friends, do not indulge in any kind of hatred or revenge as they both are equally damaging to all of us.

Let me give you a wise example : The enemies of the Holy Prophet treated him very ruthlessly and hard heartedly. They used to cover his path with thorns, made deliberate attempts to kill him and even threw rubbish in front of his house. But, he did not do anything. He remained silent. He was patient. He did not intend to indulge in in revenge.

Anger destroys a person's identity. It causes ones heart to become numb with fear and revulsion. At many times, anger compels us to take the wrong steps and make the wrong decisions. Anger gives birth to immense hatred in our hearts. Anger does not only harm our body but it is also malicious to our soul.

Remember friends, the person who can scream louder than the others or react to a situation in a wilder way isnt the one who is strong. In fact, he is the one who has the weakest heart of all. On the contrary, the person who always wears a smile on his or her face during times of trouble, deals with every situation with patience and tolerance, and does not raise his voice at any time is the strongest amongst us.

Silence, peace and patience are those magnificient aspects of life which makes our world even more blissful and regenerates love in our hearts.


peace and heaps of love :)
