Hari Raya Haji or Eid-al-Adha is one of the two major festivals of Islam, the other being Hari Raya Puasa or Eid-al-Fitr. It is also called the Festival of Sacrifice, in remembrance of prophet Ibrahim’s trust in God and his willingness to sacrifice even his son to fulfil his duty to God.

Celebrating Fathers – Happy Father’s Day 2021!
Children look towards their father for a sense of security and protection. During this pandemic situation, nothing can give children peace of mind and a feeling of security more than their parents, especially a loving and supportive father. They are the role models boys aspire to grow up to be, and for girls, he creates the impression of how every male should be. These are high expectations and they influence the children’s life and every decision they make.
Celebrating World Environment Day!
We get everything we need from the environment. The air we breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and all the other raw materials we require. There is no survival possible without depending on it. But, the environment has been degraded and eroded by human activities throughout the years. We have been exploiting it at a rate that is faster than what it needs to recover.

Preparing for the exam results!
For many of us, the daily routine would include spending a significant amount of time rewinding and analyzing the exact sequence of events that took place on the day of the exams. Many would be able to recall every minute detail from those days, ranging from the food you had for breakfast to the number of pens you carried to the exam hall. For others, most of the ancillary stuff would be a blur. Whichever category you fall into, chances are high that you may be kicking yourself constantly for some answer that you might have got wrong due to a lack of focus.
