One of the things I’m most particular about is preparing my own food. To say that I find joy in doing it is an understatement. Most of the time, I (only) crave foods if prepared by me because there’s certainty that they’re prepared well. Let me put it this way: Sometimes, I refuse to eat…

Riyadhizens, People of Saudi Arabia, Let’s Make it Green!
While digging the modern dossier earlier today, 29 March 2021, pertinent to the #LetsMakeItGreen campaign, I have come across a familiar name, who, apparently was the former CEO of the company I am working for. He was one of the many leaders in the workplace — with reputation. He had truly given the company’s ship…
Greenest, Lushest Park of Riyadh City
I am using this space to thank this profession called urban planning for bringing these very very old nature wonders to a desert jungle that is Riyadh. They are called trees, and, based on what I read, they have 350 million years of experience looking after our planet! We, humans, have an intrinsic emotional need to…
Back to Basics with Indoor Plants in Riyadh
Our company had us worked from home last 16 March 2020. We got back in the office after five months or last August 17. During that period, it was inevitable to develop a face-off against a tsunami, a duel against the invisible. Coping with the inconveniences, anxiety, and stress this situation brought upon us was…
Into the Poetic, Barren Landscapes of Al Qiddiya in Riyadh

Glimpses And Magic of Riyadh When Darkness Falls
I was driving home on a random evening when the warm, orange glow of sunset and streetlamps knocked on the window frames. Settling in the heart of Al Izdihar District a few years ago, I had grown used to seeing these city and night “scapes” but never did I capture them intentionally until earlier that…
King Abdullah Financial District and its Conference Centre by Night and Day
It is a given that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not erect buildings on a mediocre level, especially at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). So whenever I passed by the area, I am wired to crane my neck or look up and just marvel at the ephemeral architectural wonders presented by this rising…

Ten Things to Love About Winter in Riyadh
The days have grown shorter; the nights have gotten longer; the malls have become a haven for sale hunters; the temperature has dropped; and you have lost that motivation to work out. These only mean one thing: winter has completely taken over. While we adore the “hotness” of summer for it facilitates a plethora of outdoor…
Riyadh Park’s Grandeur and Cinemas
In April 2018, KSA marked another milestone with the launch of the first public cinema in the capital city after quite some time.
