First day in Dubai

We started our journey one day before of Eid-Ul-Fitor. It was the last day of one month long fasting here. But we knew it would be the Eid day in Dubai. We reached around 12 o'clock (mid-day) in Dubai airport.

Suddenly I heard some one was calling our names, why? Did we do any mistake! Instantly my husband rebuked me with a smile. It was about our hotel booking and a car was waiting for us.

We felt cold in the plane and almost started shivering inside Dubai airport. But, to my surprise, a hot wave

In the course of human history there has been some people who think they are always right and can decide what is good or bad for the rest of our society. Sometimes these "enlightened people" go far away and decide what kind of books people have to read and what books should be banned.

Friendship , this word is nice to hear and to have in our life time. Some people trust on friendship and the rest is not or doubt it. Yes we can not blame them , because in reality we can find that some friend is good and some friend not . But to me it's all depend on how we face them , also depend on our luck . Not all people out there is bad , and not all bad people is bad forever. If our friendship to them is pure and we really give our care and love to them as a good friend ,they will feel

BIRTHDAY - a page from biography

Page 124 - From Ann's Biography 

 

BIRTHDAY

 

Ann wondered what people over the world did on their birthday!

That year (2015) she took a day off as a present for herself on her birthday. She had 13 off-working days a year but had just used 1. So she was tired of work and took a short break.

She stayed at home. Two first greeting messages were from the bank where she had account and the mobile company she used. (-.-)

 

As usual she hasn’t been a fast-living person and that day she was a very slowly-livin

The newly-wed couple Bob and his wife Bonnie were on their way home, the villa that was near the village Bob's parents used to live. The couple did have a good time at the bar. 

It was Bonnie's birthday that day.
