JoyGiving“For it is in giving that we receive.” Francis of Assisi

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” Winston S. Churchill

The of

The year-end holidays present good reason for giving gifts… whether it is to celebrate the end of a school year, the kindness of a teacher, the

ritual of Christmas, to welcome in a new year or just to express thanks and gratitude to loved ones.In fact, gift giving has long been a favorite subject for studies on human behavior, with psychologists, anthropologists, economists and marketers all weighing in. They have found that giving gifts is a surprisingly complex and important part of human interaction, helping to define relationships and strengthen bonds with family and friends. Psychologists say it is often the giver, rather than the recipient, who reaps the biggest psychological gains from a gift. Hence, gift-giving is an act of altruism — unselfish concern for the well-being of others. When we give without expecting anything in return, we are improving our psychological health.

The social value of giving has been recognized throughout human history. For thousands of years, some native cultures have engaged in a complex ceremony that celebrates extreme giving. Although cultural interpretations vary, often the status of a given family in a clan or village was dictated not by who had the most possessions, but instead by who gave away the most. The more lavish the gifts, the more prestige gained by the host family.

Men have been found to be more price-conscious and practical when it comes to the gifts they give and get, while women tend to be more concerned about giving and receiving gifts with emotional significance. Gift giving is often the most obvious way a partner can show interest and strengthen a bond. Words may not be able to convey the intent or the thoughts adequately, but gifts can. Of course, it is not gifts they are exchanging but the trust and care for the other person that is being exchanged and expressed respectively. But the biggest effect of gift giving may be on ourselves. According to research, giving to others reinforces our feelings for them and makes us feel effective and caring. As Mother Teresa said: “It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” – By Kay Tull

TRAVEL

PARISON THE COBBLESTONE TRAIL

Paris has cobblestone streets, narrow cafe-lined sidewalks and urban planning that in many places thankfully prioritizes historic preservation

for within it are many “treasures” often overlooked by the casual visitor to the city.One of these gems is the Serge Lutens Perfume House situated in the Jardin du Palais Royal in a quiet enclosure which also houses private apartments, bureaucratic offices including the French Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and high-end boutiques. The perfume house itself is very discreet and elegant, no neon or lavish signs to show that you have arrived at its doorstep. Once inside, the waft of perfume will lure you from its small, ornate mirrored foyer to the opulent and majestic settings of its blue-violet lighted salon.

The clean but exotically named scents are packaged in bell jars

The stately facade of Serge Lutens perfume house


The central focus of the salon is a grand hand-painted circular staircase which dominates the room. Streaked black-gray marble lines the floors and walls. Displays are sparse, dark, and designed specifically to focus all attention on the perfumes. Housed on marble tables in their bottles, test strips are neatly laid out and ready to be sniffed. It’s almost overwhelming to be faced with the entire collection of Serge Lutens in one place but visitors should take their time and revel in the experience. One either instantly likes or hates it but the niche line has a devoted cult following that is ever growing. The designer has expansive interest and involvement in the arts, film, photography and architecture and they are all evident here… from the theater-inspired windows to the glorious bound books of photographs.

Yet another experience not to be missed when in Paris is the Shakespeare And Company bookstore on Paris’ Left Bank. Situated in the shadows of the Notre Dame, the bookstore has been described as “a winding, twisting, climbing labyrinth of books, a literary commune, a shelter for writers, a refuge for book lovers” and “a novel in three words.” Started by George Whitman in 1951, its original name was Le Mistral. However, George changed it to Shakespeare And Company in celebration of The Bard’s 400th birthday and in honor of a bookseller he admired, Sylvia Beach who founded the original Shakespeare And Company. His daughter, Sylvia (named after Beach), runs things today.

A grand spiral staircase dominate the blue-purple lighted salon


In front of the bookstore, bookstands surround an ornate drinking fountain, erected in the 19th century to service the area's poor. Here, second-hand books can be purchased at only five euros. Inside, there is scant space to browse around freely as books are piled up every which way you turn… on ceiling-high shelves, on the floor, all along a steep staircase. The lived-in feeling is part of the charm however, and writers, aspiring as well as established, are welcomed to spend a night or

three here. George used to call them Tumbleweeds after the rolling thistles that drift in and out with the winds of change. When you're done browsing, you can retire with your newly purchased reading matter to the nearby restaurant Le Procope. Once the haunt of luminaries like Voltaire, Rousseau and Verlaine, its walls are adorned with author-signed title pages. –By K.Talha

Book-lined shelves every which way one turns! Books are also stacked on cleverly-built shelves on the staircase

ACEHRises from the Ruins

The only structure left standing in the wake of the tsunami

11 KEMBARA PLUS ONLINE DISEMBER 2014 11 KEMBARA PLUS ONLINE NOVEMBER 2014

A house 5km inland was destroyed by the waves

On December 26 this year, Aceh will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the utter destruction caused by a

wall of water that swept almost everything in its wake, hurled ships several kilometres inland, took 225,000 lives and caused untold damage to property and livelihoods.Ten years on, Aceh has transformed itself: now business in the city is brisk, tourist arrivals are increasing, housing and infrastructure continue to be reconstructed, the economy is progressing and a peace deal has been reached between separatists and the Indonesian government.The Acehnese are a proud people and they have always been fiercely independent. They thrive on their reputation as being the most stubborn people in Indonesia, wearing it like a badge of honor. Their history is full of warriors, both men and women, who fought hard battles with invading Dutch colonial armies. Even their Navy Admirals had outstanding women of courage who commanded entire fleets to defeat the Dutch forces. Perhaps it is that very stubbornness and resilience that have helped the Acehnese recover so quickly from the devastation caused by the tsunami.

This fishing boat was swept inland and landed smack dab in the middle of a residential neighbourhood on top of a house


In the immediate aftermath of the destruction, the most poignant photo circulated around the world was that of the coastal town of Lhoknga. No building was left standing except for a local mosque standing tragically alone amidst a sea of debris. Now the gently rolling hills of the Sulawah Golf Club have replaced the seaside

town and a modest tourist resort with chalets built into limestone outcrops are found here. The mosque has also undergone repairs and a beautification programme courtesy of the Government of Turkey which funded its restoration.

The villagers of this farmland were startled to find the dome of a mosque that was totally destroyed 3 km away, on their land where it sits to this day


Decorative motifs adorn a typical traditional Aceh house

A heavy brass bell in the compound of a traditional Aceh house

There is a silver lining behind the tragedy though: an end to the long-running conflict between Acehnese separatists and the Indonesian military. The tsunami served as a catalyst for a peace deal between the two sides. Although the greater political autonomy has not quite translated into real economic progress for many here, especially those in the rural areas, life is decidedly better. Aceh is rich in natural resources and there are more opportunities for local residents to make money.Also, there is some semblance of peace in the province now. Before the tsunami during the Indonesian occupation, the army strictly enforced a 6 p.m. curfew but now it is common for residents to still be out and about late at night without fear of any repercussion. Mosques are still full of worshippers at midnight, with recitals of Quranic verses being broadcast from tall, slender minarets.. . a reminder to the faithful that life is fragile and cannot be taken for granted. – By K.Talha

SAFETY TIPS

Tips

Keep your car in good mechanical condition to avoid breakdowns and allow you to react quickly if you find yourself in a bad situation.

Hold your keys in your hand as you approach your parked car. Don't wait until you reach the car to search for them in your purse. Experts say you're most vulnerable when you are getting into or out of your car.

Check the back seat before getting into the car, even if you left it with the doors locked.

Lock all doors and roll up the windows while you drive.

Sound the horn in potentially dangerous situations.

Avoid short cuts that take you through unfamiliar or unsafe areas.

If you notice someone suspicious near your car, walk in a different direction toward a public place and seek help.

If your car is rammed from behind and the hit seems to be deliberate, stay in the car with the doors locked. Wait for the police to arrive.

Most police experts do not recommend that you carry weapons in your car. Instead, they suggest that everyday items like flashlights, fingernail files, pens, keys and screwdrivers be used for protection.

Never follow a stranger who offers to help you find your way on an unfamiliar road or street. Wait in your vehicle and ask for directions.

SMART TIPS

Sit slightly reclined with your shoulders comfortably back in the seat. Sit as far back from the steering wheel as possible while still remaining in safe control of the vehicle.

Hold the outside rim of the steering wheel at "9 and 3 o'clock" or slightly lower. This position will minimize the risk of injury to your arms, hands and fingers in case your airbag deploys. Your arms should be bent slightly.

Be able to pivot your right foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal without lifting your heel from the floor.

Not checking your "blind spots" can have disastrous effects when merging onto the highway or changing lanes. In fact, thousands of accidents occur each year because people who are changing lanes fail to see a vehicle that is right next to them before making such maneuvers! One of the ways you can protect yourself is to make sure your vehicle's side and rearview mirrors are positioned for maximum road view.

For the driver's side mirror: Place the side of your head against the window, then adjust the mirror until the side of your vehicle comes into view. For the passenger's side mirror: While sitting in the driver's seat, lean to the left so that your head is in the car's centerline. Adjust the mirror until the side of your vehicle comes into view.
