The On going crisis in Telengana was a sad state of affair.Before announcing the Telengana formation the Centre should have thought of the after effects.Having announced centre should keep up the Image and Ethics.The Ultimate sufferer is the People of India.Disturbed by Travel and other inconveniences.

Passionate pal

Among the ships the best ship is friendship. I always quote this before most of my friends who are considered very close to me. This became true in my case, recently. A friend of mine called from Dubai and wished me for Christmas. Even though I don't celebrate the day, he being a Christian wished me on the occasion. I was so happy; friendship does not need to be identified by any religion or nationality. Incidentally, he was my client and was still maintaining his business relationship with the company where I spent 11 years in the UAE. When you are motivated or remembered you will be very happy and no one can see the feelings except you yourself. I was so delighted and happy on the occasion of Christmas. I am wishing my friend as well The Gulf Today's readers a very happy and healthy Christmas.

Rain

cheer

When a friend rang me up in India to say it was raining in Sharjah, I was thrilled. Rain is a much-needed gift of nature for mankind. The infrastructure facilities in the city are wonderful and Sharjah needs periodical rains to make the city greener. Another friend mentioned that he is expecting a dramatic result from the Copenhagan conference. We have to wait and watch whether the real climate change happens.

Need for

patience

As I have recently returned to my home country from the UAE, several people asked me whether the global meltdown has badly hit Dubai. I have seen the dramatic growth of the emirate over the years, both in trading and infrastructure. From desert to a modern city, the emirate has proved how vision and enterprise can work wonders. I told them that Dubai has the ability to weather any storm. All one needs is patience.

Win

friends

IHAVE been communicating

for the past one

year with a friend through

a travel web site. We discuss

various issues

through his blogs. Recently

I met him. We discussed

local and international topics.

When a friend from

Dubai called me to ask

how I was spending my

time, I replied, “I met an

interesting person today

also.” By virtue of my marketing

profession in the

UAE, I used to meet at

least one or two new faces

every day.

I am maintaining the

same routine in my home

town after departing from

the UAE. The multinational

and multicultural

nature of the UAE offered

me a great platform to understand

people’s psyche.

Knowledge can be improved

only by meeting

new people and exchanging

ideas.
