Creativity is what children use to write stories, solve problems, play music, make arts and crafts and even perform complex math operations.

Importance of Creativity


In today's time creativity is being replaced by i pads, cartoons and the like. What exactly is happening that is making such a change? Low tolerance of parents or the attractive of such gadgets and shows?



Why on the other hand creativity is under estimated? Mums you need to realize that creativity can help teach your child cognitive skills that go up to the extend of mathematics and scientific thinking. It can even in the long run act as problem solving as well as help with future literacy skills. 

Still thinking how?

Untold stories


What does " untold stories" suggest to you?

To me it sounded like something hidden, something out of the past. Out of curiosity, I cancelled all my meetings and headed down to the heart of Sharjah on 19th Feb, 2014. 



Walking past the long corridor towards the East Wing situated in the Sharjah Art Museum, there was a crowd anxiously waiting for the exhibition to open. Finally when walking past the stores unfolded to the various hidden treasures every artist had to share. 

Now my turn to reveal some to you :)
