The TEDxZU file
I have been a part of many TEDx events since 2009. I co-curated the 1st TEDxDubai with Giorgio Ungania in 2009, an amazingly HUGE event right out of the blocks. Then I found my home in events that are youth and education centered. Education centered in that they are organized by schools. TEDxAbuDhabiU was my [...]
Physical Commuication
Do you read cool hunting? Cool Hunting pointed me towards yet another way to communicate. There exist few limits to a child’s potential for creativity, and the blocks that accumulate on the playroom floor may seem equally boundless as kids are left to explore.

Love this one!
Thoughts on the City

I can honestly say I give the idea of CITY little thought. But I do love living in the city and can’t imagine living any other way! FastCompany posted [...]

Rejected Innovation
Dream and dream big I always say when it comes to innovation. And even if your ideas don’t see the light of day they may actually inspire and lead to other things. Or there is the possibility they will become the lesson on what not to do. Here is an example of both when it [...]
Old School from New School
It is funny really how when we think of innovation we seem to be grasping at straws to find the next best thing. And for some reason when we think of that next best thing we are looking at some technomodified gadget or means of disseminating information that is iEnabled or, well you get the [...]
