Weekender| Sep 21-27, 2017 WEEKENDERBAHRAIN WEEKENDER_BH 11 When 'talent' outshines 'degrees' n our everyday interactions, we come across all kinds of people; there are those whose achievements and educational milestones are well-known and acknowledged by all. However there are also those whose talents and aesthetic intuition is not quite out in the public eye, yet it’s something to be marveled Iupon, especially when it defines and shines upon the cultural settings of a country. Judging a person based on how many degrees they have earned, and how their performance has been throughout the academic year, needs to be changed, as there is life beyond what ‘bookish knowledge’ defines. Craft Industries Development Centre, is one establishment that stands proud due to its authentic handicraft creations, keeping the culture of Bahrain alive. Having a pool talent, especially women, where they project their love on the work assigned to them, definitely makes one thing very clear, “love completely whatever it is that you do”.

“Talent is a gift given from God. Though I did not get the opportunity to go to school, recognizing my hidden talent makes me feel very special and unique, not just in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of myself,” Laila Hamad Isa told Weekender, as she brushed upon how she has been working in the Craft Industries Development Centre (CIDC), since 1997. She says, “Handicraft was something that always made me feel happy and calm. Training in creating different, but beautiful handicraft items, makes me fall in love with what I do every moment.” CIDC appears to Laila Hamad Isa be the only school, Laila went to, and the best part about her journey was that she was already into craftwork before being properly trained. Having been taught a variety of things, where she created bookmarks, tissue boxes, among others, the metal ‘Al Naqda’, which she uses in designing her creations, appears to be the area of her expertise, which has got humungous praise from the buyers as well as onlookers.

“I discovered how good I am at drawing and painting ceramics, making boxes for tea and jewellery, putting henna, and creating craft items out of Al Naqda, which motivated me to do better and better, and preserve the heritage of Bahrain,” another member Fadhela shared with us, who has been part of this initiative for the past 10 years. “Being a proud Bahraini, the changing times possess the capacity to shift the interest of the generation away from the handicraft creations, which is the pride of the country. Every minute, when I sit to create new handicraft items or when I get so much of love and appreciation from people, I get the feeling that I am working hard in preserving the culture of Bahrain.” Proficient in henna, she developed her knowledge and today, she supervises two to three ladies, who are also showing signs of never-ending passion for creating handicraft items.

The pride of the island

Jameela who is the backbone of the project started the welfare for women segment of the establishment, where she also provides training for women with special needs, so they can discover their capability of doing great things in life. One interesting creation in process that Weekender team witnessed at the CIDC workshop was the making of paper out of palm leaves.“Palm Tree is the pride of Bahrain,” says Imaan, who supervises the team in the creation of papers out of palm leaves. Having joined eight years back, every moment and every second serves as a bliss for Imaan, owing to the fact that she is into the noble act of polishing the handicraft culture of Bahrain. “There are so many people, who are not schooled, but what makes such kind of people unique and different from others is the talent they possess, where their love for their talent makes them above all the degree holders. Nobody is born foolish, nobody is born without talent. Everybody has something hidden within him or her, which needs to be unleashed. Once that is unraveled then no negative thought or energy can stop them from ruling the world,” Imaan concluded on a positive note.

Who cheese and the presence of oregano does not love binging on a new variety of servings in new spaces? Food itself isn’t enough sauce. now;I the ambience matters just the same and we were delighted and impressed by what The Cacao Lounge and Restaurant, whose stone of inception was laid recently, offered to its Chocoholics ...rejoice! fortunate invitees on its opening night. Alas the sweetened highlight of the Cacao Lounge, nestled in the charming and quiet setting of the RUW Corner, provides a dining extravaganza has arrived. For a unique experience that isn’t just limited to what you devour. Surrounded by mystical décor place that is designed to emphasize and that is completely heightened with mesmerizing paintings of the Victorian era, the lounge offer customers the complete chocolate isn’t your regular eatery; it’s a trip to remember.

Of course for those who lean more towards green munching, they indulged in the crispness of the Quinoa salad which was a fusion of many tastes that beautifully complimented one another. This included dried cranberries, chickpeas, argula, mint, MAC AND CHEESE BOMBS mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, onions and the lip-smacking dressing by the chef. The exotic and piquant dishes from the main course were impressive and consisted of ingredients that were pure love; honestly even a sonnet could have been composed on how amazingly all the tastes mingled together. The House Lamb Shoulder was probably the most tenderly cooked and fantastically flavored meat we had ever tasted. It was finely complimented by roasted rosemary potatoes, saffron rice and delicious grilled vegetables that would be BROWNIE CHEESECAKE appreciated by even those who aren’t much of veggie fans. Aside from that, those who prefer chicken or fish over lamb and meat can opt for the tantalizing serving of Chicken Florentine- which was stuffed chicken breast with spinach and cheese over a creamy mushroom sauce with mashed potatoes and fried leeks.

Find out more about them at www.thehealthyconscience.com Since the lazy days of Summer vacations are over, I am looking forward to settling into the school routine but i am finding a hard time in adjusting to that as well since my kids are very much used to the routine of sleeping in late and waking even later.

Please help me on how to get them all excited about school and wake them up all happy and excited. Natasha J. Starting off Dear Natasha, Coming back to school can be stressful for children and their parents. Waking up early, preparing school bags, lunch boxes, ensuring everyone has nutritious breakfast, with a right uniform, clean teeth and seatbelts on. That’s pretty much a morning routine in each family and as some of us probably know from experience, we tend to master it throughout the whole school year, ‘flying’ on autopilot in May or June. Each period of ‘basic stretch’ holiday puts us in a relaxed mode: we allow ourselves a bit of laziness, sleeping late and longer than normally. No wonder our bodies are in shock when this blissful time ends and we need to face reality.
