ONLY ONE HOUR--BUT IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

To the Residents of UAE and even to other nations, It is my humble request that we all join EARTH HOUR initiative on March 28th, which urges companies and individuals to switch off lights for 60 minutes,starting from 8.30 pm.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007 and annually aims to mobilise as many people as possible to turn off non-essential lighting and other electrical appliances.Dubai first observed Earth Hour last year and was the first Arab city to participate.

GOOD MORNING

I just went for a walk and returned.The cool breeze seemed very refreshing to me.But as I was taking my walks, I noticed how an elderly couple (around their 50's)walked hand in hand,talking to each other and enjoying every moment with each other.

I was happy to notice that the husband still showed love and affection for his wife.
You may be wondering what is so great in all this, but I feel a lady should be treated very well by her husband, for whom she has left her family,some even their identity.

Good to see small events that make me happy even in this period of crisis and recession.
LADIES, HAVE A NICE DAY
