NANIMA’S PANCHAAT
The Art of Creative Expression: Islamic Relief Worldwide has teamed up with international singer and songwriter Zain Bhikha to offer a series of one-day workshops around the country for young people. Students will have the opportunity to watch Zain Bhikha demonstrate his skills, learn and practise techniques for writing stories, poems, and songs, and think about their lives and those of others from different perspectives. Islamic Relief believes there are four main elements that can be used to help bridge barriers that exist between Muslims and others: History; Religion; Culture and Art. Within the South African Muslim community these cultural aspects are either viewed as being not allowed, or only allowed within strict parameters. There are no current Islamic platforms that allow Muslim youth to learn about the arts in various forms. The programme offers an ideal opportunity to involve young people in cultural aspects such as song writing, poetry, and the written word. Workshops are highly interactive and promise to be great fun.The target group is Grades 8 to 10. For more information Islamic Relief: Art of Creative Expression
Where is my happily ever after?It’s no fairytale. Nor is it a Hollywood movie. “Happily ever after” is hardly ever as happy as you’d imagined it. Relationships are difficult; they need work and lots of it. If you neglect it, or think it should all magically fall into place, you’re in for a big (and perhaps nasty!) surprise. Here are some tips on how to nurture your relationship.Once the earth-shattering, butterfly-in-the-stomach phase of falling in love is over, you may think your relationship is lacking something. In reality, this is a natural progression, and is replaced by something much deeper and much more satisfying. If you put in what you want out, there’ll be nothing more rewarding. So roll up those sleeves and really pull your weight! So you’ve crossed the threshold into the “ever after”, but you’re not as happy as you thought you’d be. Suddenly you are always at each other’s throats and you’re starting to wonder whether you can live up to your commitment of “as long as we both shall live” (formal or not). Sometimes you wish you could get your money back..after all, you didn’t get your fairytale. If you thought your relationship is different or you are going to beat the odds and not have a difficult first year (or two, or three…) together, think again. Relationships are hard. In real life, the prince can be an ogre, the princess can be moody and there’s always work to be done in the castle. In fact, sometimes it feels more like a horror story than a fairytale. But there’s no need to fall victim to harsh reality. Your relationship can be magical again. Of course, you can’t expect it to change at the wave of a magic wand. It requires nurturing and hard work, and lots of it. (Someone send this email to me, thought would be nice to distribute: not sure the source)
NANIMA’S REMEDY
Here is some fairy dust to aid you in your quest: 1. Do Daily Temperature Reading (DTR). Developed by Virginia Satir, one of the key figures in the development of family therapy, using this method demonstrates your desire for the relationship to succeed. Take time to write down the following each day (or which interval works best for you) and exchange it with your partner:
|
2. Don’t utter every mean remark that comes to mind. Studies show that couples who avoid saying every angry thought when discussing touchy subjects are the happiest NANIMA’S WISE WORDS“Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.” Eugene o Neill NANIMA TV
This is a very beautiful and touching talk. Infact even non-muslims would benefit so much from this talk that their relationships would be so much better. HIGHLY recommend you watch this if you don’t want to end up in divorce.. Just the little things you do such as surprising your wife with gifts is how you can keep the romance alive.. Make good notes and study them well and you will see the happiness in your wife’s eyes. Also sisters can watch this as the advice can be applied towards the husband too!

Have you all but given up trying to revive your once beautiful miniature tree? Well don’t despair just yet, help is at hand with the following tips It may be time to prune your Bonsai tree. If you haven’t touched it since you bought or received your tree its probably a good idea to whip out your secateurs and give it a haircut. There’s no need to go mad, but a quick prune could be just what the doctor ordered in helping to revive your Bonsai tree. However, pruning the top of your Bonsai may not be enough; you may also need to trim the roots too. In actual fact, if you do any major pruning to the top of the tree you should also do the same to the base. Again, there’s no need to go mad as a lot of damage can be caused but generally its ok to trim about one third of the root system. Is your Bonsai pot the best possible match for your tree? Although colour and shape play a critical part in the art of Bonsai they are not critical to the growth of your tree. What is critical however is the size of your pot in relation to your Bonsai. In general, your Bonsai pot should be about the same size wide as the longest branch, and about as deep as the trunk is wide. If your Bonsai pot is either too big or too small it may be worth investing in one that your tree will appreciate better. Correctly watering your Bonsai tree is essential. Too much water and you run the risk of rotting the root system. Whereas, too little water will cause your miniature tree to dry out and shed its foliage. Remember most Bonsai trees like to be moist all of the time. This will generally mean watering your tree a little everyday so as to keep your tree healthy. Its also worth mentioning here that most Bonsais will shed there foliage naturally around autumn as they prepare for being dormant through winter. So if your Bonsai has started to drop leaves it maybe just the time of year and nothing to worry about. Often changing the soil of your Bonsai can work wonders. A good quality potting compost mixed with sand or grit to aid drainage is normally sufficient. However, it may be a good idea to use specific Bonsai soil. These are specifically designed to have better water retention than standard soil and also provide better nutrients and gases all essential in growing a healthy Bonsai tree.
