King of POP

Yesterday i celebrated my birthday by watching a Documentary on my childhood inspiration called as MJ !! Take my word it was indeed a lifetime experience ....

This movie was some of his rehearsals that he did for his final tour. And just 8 days before he was to go for it, he died.

It makes you understand Why was he rated as the most energetic, passionate, and perfectionist Performer ! And the most astonishing thing was that he is so humble !!

He exactly know what he is doing and is a perfectionist. Even a small change in the sound he immediately pointed it out. And he did not move on till it was 100% perfect. My friend was asking me how he does it and the answer from me was " That's why he is MJ !"

Its a movie for all who loves music and stage performances - it makes you feel that MJ was molested by others !! Why was people after him ! He is any day a legend for all those future Pop Stars or any music lovers ! Must watch for all music lovers !

i could only say one thing .... the Gap Left by MJ will remain as it is as it will take ages to form a MJ !! May your Soul rest in Peace !!

My Day

A Day That’s All Mine – My 32nd Birthday! I’ve turned 32 today, and instead of dwelling on the past, my focus is on what lies ahead. This will be my last birthday as a single person, and if you ask me whether I’m excited—I honestly don’t have an answer! Today also marks All Souls' Day, and I pray for peace for all the departed souls. For the first time in 32 years, I was the target of some classic birthday antics—my colleagues smashed four eggs on me! The funniest part? Those who pulled the prank ended up having to take a shower themselves after getting a taste of their own medicine. LOL! A thoughtful gift from my colleagues made my day—a wireless headset that works up to 5 meters away, so I can enjoy watching TV at night without disturbing anyone. I love the idea! As I mentioned at the beginning, it’s time to plan my future—so, here’s to new beginnings. Wish me luck!

A story which made me Laugh !!

A Curious Funeral Procession One morning, as a man was leaving a café with his coffee, he noticed a very unusual funeral procession. At the front was a coffin, followed by a second coffin about 50 feet behind. Behind the second coffin, a solitary man walked quietly, accompanied by a black dog. What caught the man’s attention even more was the long line of 200 men following behind in single file. Curiosity got the better of him, so he approached the man with the dog and said, "I’m sorry for your loss, and I know this isn’t the best time—but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" The man replied, "The first coffin is for my wife." Intrigued, the curious man asked, "What happened to her?" The man sighed and said, "My dog attacked and killed her." Shocked, the onlooker asked, "And the second coffin?" The man responded, "That’s my mother-in-law—she was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her too." A moment of silence followed as the first man processed the information. Then, with a spark of excitement, he asked, "Can I borrow the dog?" Without missing a beat, the man replied, "Get in line."

A Boy who asked me a surprising question

During the intermission of the movie Blue, a 4-year-old boy asked, "Excuse me, is this the 'Shark Movie?' Did you see my fat mother?" He was looking for his mom, who was nowhere to be found at the time. By the end of the intermission, he successfully found her! When I asked if he saw any sharks in the movie, he replied, "Yes, in the beginning... but did you see my fat mother?" What a smart little one!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Once you understand the purpose, you will know how to treat them. When someone enters your life for a REASON, it is often to fulfill a need you've expressed. They might help you through a challenge, provide guidance, or offer emotional or spiritual support. They may seem like a blessing, and in a way, they are. But when their role is done—whether through words, actions, or timing—the relationship comes to an end. Sometimes they leave, sometimes they pass away, or sometimes they force you to make a difficult choice. Remember, their work is complete, and it’s time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON. During this time, they bring peace, laughter, or experiences that help you grow. They may teach you something new or fill you with joy. These moments are real, but they are meant to be temporary. LIFETIME relationships, however, teach you lifelong lessons. These lessons help you build a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to embrace those lessons, love the person, and apply what you’ve learned in all other relationships and areas of your life. As it is said, "Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant." Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life—whether for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. To all my friends, I appreciate you!

Quote for the day

"I was thinking one day, and I realized that if I just had someone behind me, motivating me, I could make a big difference. But since no one came along, I became that person for myself." Isn't that true? We often wait for others to support us, but that leads to expectations and complacency. In the end, you might find yourself alone. The key is to always support yourself and be your own source of motivation.

A Memorable Trip to Kerala

A Memorable Trip to Kerala I was in Kerala from August 31st to September 7th, and while the trip began on a pleasant note, things took an unexpected turn by September 5th. My first welcome to Kerala was rain—non-stop rain! The only song that came to mind was: "Rain, rain, go away, Big Abhayan wants to see the place!" But, unfortunately, the rain gods showed no mercy. Onam was special because most of my relatives were there, and, of course, the delicious feast made it even better. Yet, there was an emptiness in the celebration—everyone missed my dad. On September 4th, I visited my dad’s home village, Mynagapally. What awaited me was heartbreaking news—my grandfather had been admitted to the hospital, and no one was home. We rushed to see him. He looked tired and frail, and seeing him in that condition made me reflect on the kind-hearted man he was and how he raised his eight children—with my dad being the eldest. The next day, September 5th, I was planning to go out with friends for a procession when I received the devastating news—my grandfather had passed away. We hurried back to the village, and I became a part of his final rituals. In that solemn moment, I realized that destiny had brought me to Kerala—to fill the gap left by my father and fulfill my duty to my grandfather. This trip was never planned, but it seemed like fate had already written this chapter. My return flight was on September 7th, and I nearly missed it! According to Airport Authority of India rules, you need to report three hours before departure. My flight was at 1:30 PM, but I only left home at 10:45 AM and reached the airport by 12:15 PM. After making a few calls, I was allowed in—but it was a close call. Meanwhile, Pikku was at his naughtiest—constantly testing my sister’s patience. Despite my occasional stern looks, he remained unfazed. Honestly, I’m not sure where he’s heading, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes a grand entry at a SuperbKids or SuperbTeens event soon! And that’s the story of my unexpected and emotional trip to Kerala.

Mohanlal misses the award!


Mohanlal who was tipped to get the 55th National Film Awards for 2007 for his brilliant performance as Valiyakathu Moosa in Pardesi(see pic), lost it by a whisker to Prakash Raj.

A source close to one of the jury members said: “Till the last round Mohanlal was the front runner to get the awards. In the final round, he and Prakash Raj got equal number of votes from the jury members. Finally it was the jury chairman’s casting vote which made Prakash the winner.”

This is not the first time where Mohanlal missed the Bharat Award like this in 1989 he missed it for Kireedom, 1996 for Iruvar, 2005 Thanmathra, and in 2007 for Pardesi !! His tally should have been 7 by now as there many other times he missed the same !!

Anyway Praksah raj did deserved the award and it was an exceptional performance- Best of Luck for the Next time !!

Scattered Papers – really beautiful! - I was very impressed by this message

Scattered Papers – A Powerful Lesson Once upon a time, an old man began spreading rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. However, a few days later, he was proven innocent and released. Angry and humiliated, the young man decided to sue the old man for defamation. In court, the old man defended himself, saying, "They were just words—I didn't harm anyone." Before delivering the verdict, the judge handed the old man a simple task: "Write down everything you said about your neighbor on a piece of paper. Cut it into small pieces and scatter them on your way home. Return tomorrow to hear the judgment." The next day, the judge asked the old man to collect all the scattered pieces of paper. Confused, the old man replied, "That's impossible! The wind has spread them everywhere—I could never find them all." The judge then said, "Exactly. In the same way, your careless words have damaged this young man's reputation, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot undo the harm. If you cannot speak kindly about someone, it is better to say nothing at all." "Let us be masters of our words—lest we become slaves to their consequences." 💭 Think twice before speaking about others—you never know the damage your words can cause.

An Article about Boris Becker - the Tennis Player whom i admired the Most


Boom Boom Becker – My All-Time Favorite Tennis Player This isn’t my own writing—but it’s one of my favorite articles, and for a good reason: it’s about Boris Becker, my all-time favorite tennis player—better known as Boom Boom Becker! Whether you knew him as Boom Boom, Der Bomber, or Baron von Slam, one thing is undeniable—he remains the greatest German-born player to ever grace a tennis court. Becker’s game was built around a powerful, well-placed serve—a weapon that earned him his famous nicknames. His unique rocking motion while serving and his fearless dives for volleys on any surface captivated fans worldwide. Beyond his serve, Becker boasted a strong forehand and an impressive return of serve. While he was known for his serve-and-volley approach, he occasionally battled opponents from the baseline, showcasing his versatility. Like John McEnroe, Becker was known for his emotional outbursts during matches—though, unlike McEnroe, these moments of frustration didn’t fuel his game. He often directed his anger at himself, breaking the occasional racket but never lashing out at his opponents. In 1985, just a year after turning professional, Becker stunned the tennis world. At 17 years old, he became the first unseeded player and the first German to win the Wimbledon singles title, making him the youngest male Grand Slam champion—a record held until Michael Chang broke it at the 1989 French Open. Becker cemented his legacy by defeating Ivan Lendl in the 1986 Wimbledon Final, winning back-to-back titles. Though a third consecutive championship eluded him after a shocking second-round exit in 1987, Becker's dominance was far from over. In a historic Davis Cup match that same year, Becker outlasted John McEnroe in an epic battle lasting six hours and 39 minutes—a testament to his endurance and determination. Although Stefan Edberg denied him a Wimbledon title in 1988, Becker responded by defeating both Edberg at Wimbledon and Lendl at the U.S. Open in 1989, securing two Grand Slam titles in one season. Becker continued to shine on the world stage, helping West Germany claim back-to-back Davis Cup victories. In 1991, he conquered Lendl in the Australian Open Final, reaching the coveted position of World No. 1. His rivalry with Andre Agassi was another defining chapter of his career. Becker avenged previous losses with a decisive win over Agassi in the 1995 Wimbledon semi-final, only to fall to Pete Sampras in the championship match. Becker’s final Grand Slam triumph came at the 1996 Australian Open, where he defeated Michael Chang. His humorous victory speech, where he jokingly mentioned not having "all day left," remains a cherished moment for fans. Boom Boom Becker—a tennis legend whose powerful serves, unmatched energy, and unforgettable moments will forever be etched in the history of the sport. 👉 Watch one of Becker’s iconic moments here: YouTube Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3TGBp4z6RM

Pondicherry My Second Home !!!


Pondicherry – The Place That Shaped Me Pondicherry isn’t just a city—it’s where my journey began. It’s the place that shaped who I am today, where I met people who changed my life, and where I truly understood the essence of life—and even faced death. It’s the place where I found my best friends, experienced my only fantasy, earned my master’s degree, and gained work experience. It’s where I became a Tamil movie admirer and built relationships that will last a lifetime. Everything started there—Pondicherry. I miss that place—it will always be my second home.

My Arul Ashram Memories

Arul Ashram: A Mission of Compassion and Transformation Arul Ashram is more than just a monastery—it’s a sanctuary dedicated to a profound mission: providing dignity in death for the abandoned, offering shelter to orphaned children, and working tirelessly for the betterment of society. My connection to Arul Ashram is deeply personal—I owe much of who I am today to Arul Ashram and Fr. Dominic. I was among the first students to step into Arul Ashram when it officially opened in 1998. Back then, the place was quiet and deserted, yet there was an undeniable peace that matched the meaning of its name—"kindness." During my time at Pondicherry University, I was known for my short temper, which eventually landed me in trouble, even facing a show-cause notice from the Vice Chancellor. It was Fr. Dominic who stayed by my side through the night, teaching me the value of patience. That conversation changed the course of my life—he guided me toward a path of kindness and service. Following his advice, I became a volunteer at Shanti Bhavan, a peaceful home for HIV-infected patients, where I assisted an American volunteer named David. My time there was life-changing—I witnessed death through the eyes of others and saw firsthand how ignorance and fear can isolate the most vulnerable. These experiences opened my eyes to the harsh realities of society and strengthened my commitment to helping those in need. One moment that will always stay with me was when Milkie and I were tasked with burying an AIDS patient. The undertaker refused to dig the grave upon learning the cause of death, and the panchayat opposed the burial altogether. With no other option, we dug the grave ourselves—a moment that revealed just how cruel and unyielding society can be toward those who suffer. Fr. Dominic remains a profound inspiration to me. Despite his age, his boundless energy is unmatched. An MBA graduate, he has mentored and guided countless young people, breaking down barriers of religion and treating everyone with equal compassion. Even today, whenever I have the chance to visit Pondicherry, I never miss an opportunity to return to Arul Ashram—a place that shaped my life and continues to hold a special place in my heart. I miss that place deeply.

Kollam- My Hometown (Copied)

Kollam (Quilon) Kollam, also known as Quilon, is the headquarters of the Kollam district and one of the most picturesque cities in Kerala. Renowned for its cashew processing and coir manufacturing, it also serves as the southern gateway to Kerala’s stunning backwaters, making it a prominent tourist destination. A Glimpse into Kollam’s History Kollam has had many names over the centuries, including Desinganadu, Kollam, and Quilon. This ancient seaport town has been a hub of international trade since the time of the Phoenicians and Romans. The famous traveler Ibn Battuta identified Kollam as one of the five major ports involved in Chinese trade, and the city once flourished as a Chinese settlement due to the exchange of embassies between local rulers and China. In 1502, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to establish a trading center in Kollam. This was followed by the Dutch and later the British, who took control in 1795 through a treaty with the Kingdom of Travancore. Under the leadership of Velu Thampi Dalawa, the city saw the development of bazaars, attracting merchants from Madras and Tirunelveli. Eventually, Kollam became the capital of the Desinganad Kingdom. As an administrative hub, Kollam flourished in 1835, serving as one of two revenue divisions in Travancore. After the merger of Travancore and Cochin in 1949, Kollam became one of the three major revenue divisions, which were later reorganized into districts. The Malayalam Era (ME), used as the official calendar of Kerala, originates from Kollam’s founding in the 9th century—a testament to the city’s historical significance. Geography of Kollam Located at 9.28'45° N and 76.28'0° E, Kollam covers 2,492 km², making it the seventh-largest district in Kerala. It is bordered by: North – Alappuzha District Northeast – Pathanamthitta District East – Tirunelveli District (Tamil Nadu) South – Thiruvananthapuram District West – Arabian Sea Two major rivers, Kallada and Ithikkara, flow through Kollam. The district is also home to Shasthamkotta Lake, Kerala’s largest freshwater lake, as well as Ashtamudi Lake, Paravur Kayal, and parts of Edava-Nadayara Lake. Kollam experiences a tropical, humid climate, with hot summers from March to May, followed by the Southwest Monsoon from June to September, bringing abundant rainfall. Tourist Attractions in Kollam Once a global trade hub, Kollam remains a thriving commercial center situated on the scenic Ashtamudi Lake. The city also has deep Christian roots, having been an early center of Christian activity in Kerala. The local saying "Once you see Kollam, you won’t need your home anymore" reflects its charm and hospitality. Key attractions include: Thangassery Lighthouse (built in 1902) – An iconic landmark offering breathtaking views. Ananda Valleeswaram Temple – A popular pilgrimage site drawing devotees year-round. Pullichira Church (established in 1700 A.D.) – A historic place of worship. Chinnakkada Palli – One of the oldest and most significant mosques in Kollam. For nature lovers, Kollam offers serene spots: Mahatma Gandhi Beach & Park (2 km from the city) – Ideal for a peaceful evening stroll. Thirumullavaram Beach (5 km from Kollam) – A perfect destination for swimming and bathing. Adventure Park – Located along the Ashtamudi backwaters, this spot promises excitement and fun. Children’s Traffic & Entertainment Park – Kerala’s largest traffic park, offering a unique educational experience. Kollam’s rich heritage, natural beauty, and cultural diversity make it a must-visit destination that blends history, spirituality, and recreation seamlessly.

An Onam after 3 years

Heading Home for Onam – A Special One This Year This Onam feels different—my first without my dad. Memories of the Onams we celebrated together flood my mind—it was always special with everyone around. I still remember how he was eager to see me married, while I wasn’t quite ready. Once, he even took me to meet a girl, but I outright rejected the proposal—not because I didn’t like her, but simply because I wasn’t prepared. (I did apologize to her later!) My dad didn’t take it well—he firmly said he would never interfere in my life again. He repeated those words again that November—and now, those moments weigh heavy on my heart. I miss you, Achaa… After his passing, our home became quiet, and my mom retreated into a shell of her own. But this Onam, I’ve made up my mind—I’ll be there to bring joy back into our home because the past does not define the future! I’m excited, and I know my mom is too—knowing her, she’s probably lined up three or four girls for me to meet! (That’s my mother for you!) Adding to the excitement is my 4-year-old nephew, who can’t wait for the Spiderman goodies I’m bringing—bags, tiffin box, water bottles, pens, pencils… It’s going to be an expensive trip, but totally worth it—nothing compares to the happiness I see in my Amma and sister’s faces. Kollam, I’m coming—let’s make this Onam unforgettable!

My Passion for Coaching – Shaping Young Lives

I hold my passion for coaching young children close to my heart—it’s not just a job, it’s a mission. One of my most memorable camps in the UAE brought me face-to-face with two very different kids, each with their own struggles. The first was a boy—sharp, but weighed down by prejudice. He believed he was always right, dismissed others' opinions, and approached everything with a negative mindset, creating a tense atmosphere within the team. I was prepared to tackle this challenge by the third day, but fate had other plans—he fell sick and had to discontinue. Boy, I’m waiting for you in the December camp! You have immense potential, and I’ve made it my mission to help you realize it. The second was a girl—an extreme introvert with low energy and poor self-esteem. Her silence worried me—I wondered where this attitude would lead her. A conversation with her mother revealed a heartbreaking truth: her father was absent, and the relationship between her parents was strained and uninspiring. It was a wake-up call—a reminder of the harsh realities some children face at home. That day, I made a promise to myself: I would be the catalyst for change in this girl’s life. My goal? To help her find her voice. By the end of the program, she stood on stage in front of 400 people, delivering the most heartfelt message. With tears in her eyes, she declared: "Mom, you are my inspiration, and I will always be there for you." That moment wasn’t just inspiring—it was transformative. Parents, take note: The home environment profoundly impacts a child’s behavior and self-worth. When children act out—whether through disrespect, anger, or withdrawal—it often reflects deeper family issues. Everything starts at home. These experiences strengthen my resolve to reach more young minds and reaffirm my belief that I can empower people. Every day, in every way, I’m becoming better and better—and I am proud to be a coach!

Bharanikavu- A Place Full of Life and Stories!

Bharanikavu – A Place Full of Life and Stories! Bharanikavu gets its name from the Durga Devi Temple, which celebrates its grand festival during Meena Bharani, and the Kavu (sacred grove) located nearby. This beautiful village is known for its sandy maidanam and the school next to the temple. The temple also boasts a serene pond owned by the temple authorities. The people here? Warm-hearted and full of life—they find ways to enjoy themselves even when money is tight ("Kadam vangi adichu pollikum" – borrowing and living large!). It’s a place buzzing with activities, unique characters, and endless stories. One of the village’s biggest highlights is its temple festival—a spectacle you can’t miss (just check the profile picture!). And, of course, “Ultsava Thallu” (festival-time brawls) is part of the tradition. It’s a land where everyone has a nickname—truly a place of Appukuttans and Usrus! When it comes to sports, Bharanikavu is unstoppable. It’s home to legendary cricket clubs like DOCU and HURRICANES and once had a football club called Brothers Football Club—now a part of local history. Interestingly, this small village also gave the Malayalam film industry one of its biggest superstars—Suresh Gopi! Fan culture thrives here—with Mohanlal and Mammootty both having dedicated fan clubs. And whether it's cricket season, football, or even a simple game of cards or carrom, the community dives in with passion. They even play tennis without rackets, proving that fun here comes in the most affordable and creative ways. Naadan thallu (local boxing) during festive seasons is a crowd-puller—sometimes, it even changes lives. And when the Utsavam ends, so do many of the local disputes, with major gangs using the festival as a time to settle scores. Crazy to the core and full of heart—Bharanikavu is a place like no other!

Pikku and his laptop demands

My 4-year-old nephew has started asking me to buy him all sorts of things lately! One of his recent requests was for a Hanuman toy—apparently, he’s not interested in cars because they can’t fly, but a Hanuman? That’s a different story! According to him, Hanuman can fly, so it’s clearly the superior choice. Kids and their logic, right? But the most surprising request came just last week when he said, “Mamma, buy me a laptop!” I was stunned. At his age, I didn’t even know what a calculator was, and here he is, talking about laptops! Apparently, his LKG teacher brought a laptop to class, and now he’s hooked. I’m not sure why the teacher thought that was necessary, but it reminded me of the time back in January 2009 when he saw my laptop. He was only 3 and a half years old then, and he immediately said, “Get something like this for me too!” It’s fascinating to see how this generation is growing up surrounded by technology. They’re naturally drawn to gadgets in a way that feels so different from how we experienced the world as kids. It makes me wonder if this is truly going to be the generation of “TechnoZars”—a generation defined by their connection to and dependence on technology. For now, I’ll wait and see how things unfold. But one thing’s for sure: I’ll always be there for my nephew, supporting him as he grows. Maybe not right now, but someday, I’ll definitely get him that laptop he’s been dreaming about. After all, who knows what amazing things he’ll do with it?

Monitor Mani & CBI Trainer

My day kicked off with a bit of humor! My colleagues were buzzing, asking, “Where’s ‘Monitor Mani’?” I was puzzled—Who is Monitor Mani? Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked them. With a chuckle, they revealed the mystery—it’s our driver! Turns out, he’s earned this hilarious nickname because he has a habit of quietly standing behind us while we work. And if you ask him what he needs, he simply says “Chumma” (just like that) and moves on to make his rounds at everyone’s desk! No wonder he’s been christened “Monitor Mani.” Today, when he walked in, he was welcomed with a playful cheer—“Monitor Mani has arrived!” But Mr. Mani seems to have turned over a new leaf—he’s decided he will no longer be monitoring anyone! And the fun doesn’t stop there—another colleague, a Junior Trainer, has earned the nickname “CBI.” The reason? It’s his signature opening line during training: “What I found was...”—always on a mission like an investigator! Office nicknames—always keeping the mood light and lively! 😄

My IPhone Experience

Not long ago, during a camp in December 2008, I noticed something that left me amazed—though not entirely surprised, given that this was Dubai, where luxury often feels like the norm. There were seven kids from a single family, and each of them had their own iPhone. It was a striking sight, and for the first time, I felt the urge to own one myself. I started planning how to achieve the financial stability needed to make that dream a reality. This wasn’t my first encounter with Apple’s sleek gadgets, though. I still remember the first time I saw an iPod back in 2003. It belonged to an American friend of mine, and I was instantly drawn to it. At the time, I was using a Discman, and despite working at Infosys for four years, I couldn’t bring myself to buy an iPod, even though I kept up with the latest updates about it. Then came 2009, and living in Dubai, I finally decided to take the plunge. I bought a two-in-one device—a phone and an iPod combined—the iPhone. It quickly became one of my most prized possessions, and I’ve been loving every moment of the experience since. To some, this might sound like a small or even trivial achievement, but for me, it was a dream realized. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about working toward a goal, no matter how big or small, and finally holding it in your hands. The feeling is simply tremendous!

Three Famous Malayalam Movie Personalities

In just 45 days, the Malayalam film industry suffered the loss of three iconic and prolific artists, leaving a void that will be deeply felt by movie lovers everywhere. The first to depart was the multi-talented writer, director, and actor A.K. Lohithadas. His contributions to Malayalam cinema were immense, and the scripts he penned will forever remain etched in the hearts of movie enthusiasts. His storytelling was not just impactful but timeless, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to cherish. Next, we lost the versatile actor and director Rajan P. Dev. Whether it was comedy or negative roles, he brought a unique flair to every character he portrayed. He redefined villainy in Malayalam cinema, making audiences see such roles in a completely new light. His memorable performances have left an indelible mark, ensuring he lives on in the minds of his fans. Finally, the industry mourned the passing of the acclaimed actor Murali. A true master of his craft, he was a dialogue specialist whose expressive performances brought every character to life. Each role he played was distinct, showcasing his incredible range and depth as an actor. His award-winning performances will continue to inspire and resonate with audiences. The loss of these three legends is a profound blow to the Malayalam film industry. Their contributions have shaped the industry in countless ways, and their absence will be deeply felt. May their souls rest in peace, and may their legacies continue to inspire future generations.

Abu Dhabi SK Camp

Since arriving in the UAE, I’ve had the opportunity to lead and be part of nine camps, coaching seven times along the way. Among these, the July 2009 camp in Abu Dhabi stands out as the best—it was my tenth SKST camp in the UAE, and in many ways, it was unique. Unlike previous camps, this one was designed for a smaller group, with just 36 kids participating. What made it special was that every single child was talented in their own way, and for the first time, I encountered a group that was exceptionally well-behaved and focused. By the third day, my fellow coaches and I found ourselves brainstorming intensely to identify the right points to address during the TTP (Total Truth process). One particular TTP moment remains vivid in my memory—it involved a girl in my team. Niramala, one of the coaches, did an incredible job breaking through her barriers and helping her open up about the challenges she was facing. It was both a shocking and eye-opening experience for me, shedding light on how children in this part of the world are raised and the unique struggles they face. The Abu Dhabi camp was truly remarkable, filled with incredible energy from both the coaches and the participants. It was a rewarding experience that not only strengthened my confidence but also inspired me to dream bigger. I now feel ready to organize an even larger camp in Abu Dhabi, one that can reach an even greater audience and create an even bigger impact.
