Salalah: Oman's Paradise

Salalah, that lies in the South of Oman among the Dhofari mountains is like any other place in Oman, hot, humid, with gigantic mountains and picturesque beaches but the magic and heavenly charm of Salalah blooms during the Khareef season ie. from mid July to mid september. The place changes and turns itself into a dreamland with lush green mountains, verdant valleys, enchanting rains and wonderful views. Salalah is famous far and wide for its Khareef charm but till now many people are untouched by Salalah's  magic! I have some images which I will share with you all but a bit later!

Asian Beach Games!!

The Second Asian Beach Games were held in Oman from 8-16th Decmber, It was the first time Oman hosted an event of this type, the Games were amazing and organised very well....it was a huge affair and Oman proved themselves by carrying them out very smoothly. Also, Oman has realised its deep potential of organising bigger events of this sort! Atheles from 45 different countries came to Oman and showcased their skills at 14 different sports. Different media persons came from various countries to cover this massive event. Everyone who came praised the facilitles here and the Omani hospitality, which was as wonderful as ever!
Below, I would like some views from people who were a part of it either from the media or game officials or volunteers or even the spectators, just tell us how did you find the Games??

Cross-Cultural Communication

Recently in college, six of our students had a cross cultural communication online with students of the Interantional Relations class in American University Washinton D.C. I was heading this project and spoke to the students of both the sides, all of them were really happy that they got a chance to take part in a discussion of this sort which helped them understand each other! Our students found out some interesting facts about the American student life and culture and also cleared stereotypes that American students had about the Arab world and vice versa!....lets see what experience can the students share with us!
