Hi there, friends!
While browsing through the members' pages a few moments ago I came across a new word "gourmand". I saw the meaning of it and found it very interesting. What I like the most is the fact that I am a gourmand myself! ;)
Can you guess the meaning of this word without looking up in a dictionary and do you consider yourself a gourmand, too? :)
Image given below is a big clue! :)
Generally, there are two things that writers recommend to those who are starting: more writing and more reading. The first one is obvious, practice makes perfect. However writing in our bubble, in a vacuum, in the radio’s silence, won’t do us much good. Reading exposes us to other styles, other voices, other forms and genres of writing. Importantly: it exposes us to bad writing, which helps us identify when things just aren’t working and it also brings us closer to writing that’s better than our
Almusahirati is the person who wakes up people to eat sahoor. Of course, sahoor is an important meal in Ramadan. According to Hadeeth, ((have sahoor, there is barakah in it)). It means that you have sahoor, because it has a blessing in it. Almusahirati starts his duty after three or four o'clock in the morning, carrying a drum and singing, "Oh fasting sleeper, wake up and have sahoor. Oh fasting sleeper, wake up and have sahoor". Nowadays, this habit disappeared in many countries especially Ara

Pretty scary, huh? Seems like a snake is gonna attack these little pups.
The snake actually protected those puppies after they fell into a hole. She took care of 'em till they were rescued. This event made someone make a comic(?), if you will.
Have a great weekend!

I always think that we, as an individual can easily destroy the entire planet without the help of others. But to reverse or cure our Mother’s Earth it takes more than a community and yet with little result. People always say, we are just like a small drop of water in the blue ocean. No matter how much we put our effort, the impact is too
Hello everyone... I would like to share this tips I've read during my 10 days Ramadhan Break. It was published by Health and Home Book on April 1995. I hope it can help.

“Smoking Kids” is a photo project by Frieke Janssechai. The series features children dressed as adults and posed as smokers. It really makes you consider the impact of smoking on children's lives. Personally, I can't stand cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc. The smell of it all! Now imagine a family where a parent or both are smokers. Hooray! You might say, "So what? The kids can fight the urge for smoking." I dunno, maybe you're right. But do they even stand a chance?
PS. I was inspired to post this

One day, the man was set at work. A candle lit, he sat to undertake government business. Two men arrived, informing the ruler they wished to consult him. The ruler beckoned them in. Before proceeding, though, he extinguished his candle and lit another.
