Burj Dubai is set to be the world's tallest building..
being constructed on Sheikh Zayed Road,
Its exact height hasn't been disclosed but it has been confirmed that it will be over 700 meters tall.

life in Dubai is five-star luxury hotels, modernity and style....shiny 4x4s and people with money to burn...But you don't have to look far to see that The real life in Dubai is still very much alive and kicking...

seen through my window..

The enormous temple complex is dedicated to Shiva, known here as Sundareshvara and his consort Parvati or Meenakshi. The original temple was built by Kulasekara Pandya, but the entire credit for making the temple as splendid as it is today goes to the Nayaks. The Nayaks ruled Madurai from the 16th to the 18th century and left a majestic imprint of their rule in the Meenakshi - Sundareswarar Temple.

The temple complex is within a high-walled enclosure, at the core of which are the two sanctums for meenakshi and Sundareshwara, surrounded by a number of smaller shrines and grand pillared halls. Especially impressive are the 12 gopuras. Their soaring towers rise from solid granite bases, and are covered with stucco figures of dieties, mythical animals and monsters painted in vivid colours.

One of the world's most distinctive skyscrapers, the Etisalat Tower is topped by a large sphere which many people liken to a "giant golf ball".

The Etisalat Tower in Dubai was designed by the renowned Canadian architect Arthur Ericson whose project was taken over and completed by the Canadian building consultants Cansult after Ericson encountered contractural difficulties. It is a 100 metre cylindrical tower of concrete, steel and glass comprising 15 floors with an adjacent 3-storey circular annex containing public service offices and facilities. The Tower comprises 2 opposing concrete "shoulders" each shaped in a 40° arc that rise from the base of the building to the top. Within these are the tower's lifts and service supply facilities. Between the 2 arcs are 15 floors of office space shrouded by dark green coloured steel and glass that project out from the building in staggered, vertical, narrow, rectangular columns diminishing in number as the floors project outwards from the concrete columns.

Above the 15th. floor, the hexagonal roof slants in to the centre from either side of the building at 45° to form a base for the communications orb at the zenith. The communications orb is pitted like a golf ball and is packed with telecommunications transmitters and receivers providing satellite and mobile telephone connections throughout the UAE. The exterior of the orb is covered with a mesh of lights that illuminate the orb at night and projecting from the top is a radio antenna spike topped by a pulsating red light signalling the highest reach of the building to aircraft approaching on the adjacent flight approach.

Wonder Bus is an amphibious bus launching first time in Middle East and will be second in Asia after Japan (Osaka). Wonder bus is the only bus in the world equipped with all the facilities like full internal decoration, air-condition, Internal bathroom, Sound system, TV and DVD player..Wonder Bus takes you around the beautiful city sights..that travels on land and on water..

The tower, slightly shown in the photo is Emirates Office Tower and Emirates Towers Hotel skyscrapers, respectively the 12th and the 24th tallest currently-standing structures in the world..

The sister towers are a symbol of Dubai City.

Crossing the Dubai Creek is by abra (small ferry)
stations are located along the Creek on both the Bur Dubai and Deira sides.. Dubai Creek, which slices through the centre of the city, has become one of the best-known waterways in the world. Abras can be hired for a private tour (for a price negotiable with the driver but usually very cheap). This is quite a popular activity at sunset on a clear day and affords a wonderful views especially at sunset...Abras set off very regularly, and the service is available round-the-clock...
I like to travel across on the abra, and I spent most of the friday evenings simply enjoying the beautiful scene..

One of the Middle East’s most recognizable building projects...

Third anniversary of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" is over..
What United States gained from Iraq?

Deaths:
Counts of civilian deaths individually documented range from 33,638 to 37,754; statistical lower estimate of total, up to Sep 2004, is 100,000 plus/minus 94,000. The study's estimate of total deaths ranges from 8,000 to 194,000 at a 95% confidence interval This estimate was made in October of 2004. The results have been disputed; see Lancet study for details.at 95% confidence..

U.S. armed forces:
2,314 total deaths (DoD confirmed), 17,124 combat wounded (7,805 evacuated). The U.S. does not classify Americans injured in non-combat accidents among the wounded.

Armed forces of other coalition countries:

Non-Iraqi civilians:
Unknown, but at least 309 contractors, 81 journalists, 20 media support workers, and 150 aid workers.

The wounded Iraqi girl's photo was taken by Rueters photographer on March 29-2003..The four year old girl, blood streaming from an eye wound, was screaming for her dead mother, while her father, shot in a leg, begged to be freed from the plastic wrist cuffs slapped on him by U.S. marines, so he could hug his other terrified daughter...

A Guinness Book of World Record entry for the largest letter 240 by 360 feet, to be exact , signed by thousands of Indian schoolchildren, to their friends across the border in Pakistan. With the message of love, peace and brotherhood from India to Pakistan...if you treasure love and peace..keep your support with your heart --- I wish all the best and great success for the Great Spirit..


It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another. -- M.K. Gandhi

Classic artists from kerala(India) perform of different musical instruments during the festivals of the Temples in Kerala. The most famous performance is that during the Thrissur Pooram...Thrissur Pooram is the most colourful temple festival of Kerala, Thrissur Pooram attracts large masses of devotees and spectators from all parts of the State and even outside..

The inaugural International Run Day will be held in Dubai on April 6 under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Categories will include races for boys, men and also a women's race.
Athletes from Kenya, Tanzania, Morocco, Algeria, in addition to athletes from GCC countries and the UAE will also take part.

The event will carry the slogan 'Friendship through Sport.'

Yesterday My friend and I went to a big shopping centre and it was fun..We watch the movie "Munich"..the '72 Olympics tragedy, assassins track those responsible...MUNICH opens with Black September's assault on 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games. As this was one of the first terrorist events to make use of the "world stage" provided by television cameras, the sequence includes footage from ABC sports (with Jim McKay's worried commentary) and shots of tv viewers in shock...the movie deals with difficult ethical, political, and emotional issues, including terrorism, assassination, national identity, and personal responsibility also the film includes graphic violence, some sexual content, nudity and language..
Eric Bana's career must surely bring hope to all aspiring screen actors...
when we finished movie I was looking around to take a photo..I have seen an artist near the food court drawing someone's portrait, I saw beside him
one cute russian girl, she has short light brown hair, blue eyes..and she has a sparkle in her eyes..she was playing with his crayons and papers..when I tried to take photo she had a certain look that she refused to pose for photo and she asked me "Why do you want to take my photo?" the artist told her that he is my friend, let him take a photo..the girl replied..your friend??..but not mine! I do not know him..tell him to go from here..othervise I'll kill him..I took a lot of pictues without listening to her but just couldnt catch her blue eyes!

I finally watched Rang De Basanti (Paint It Saffron) such a beautiful movie - I loved it,..please go n watch it. dont listen to anybodys comments... I can say one of the best movies I've ever seen...every actor did his/her best and
the songs are great too...the film does have some connection to the history...so every indian youth should see this movie...
The story begins with the young British filmmaker Sue (Alice Patten) stalking off her budget-hit job to India to make a film on the young revolutionaries who so impressed her grandfather, an angrezon ke zamaane ke jailor, with their calm in the face of imminent death. In Delhi, aided by Sonia (Soha Ali Khan), she runs into DJ (Aamir Khan), Karan (Siddharth), Sukhi (Sharman Joshi), Aslam (Kunal Kapoor). With them and the saffron-hued Laxman Pandey (Atul Kulkarni) who joins them later, she hopes to realize her dream of a making a film on Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad, Rajguru et al.But, contrary to Sue's expectations, the youth have no feelings for their country. India is a no-hoper where corruption is rampant, and nothing can be done to salvage the situation, they believe. They even poke fun at Sue's attempts to make a film, till they come around. As they play the historical characters, their perspective about the present, and their own role in it, changes forever. Which, in a nutshell, is what the movie is about... A Generation Awakens- It surely does..

Yesterday @ 'Jebel Hafeet'('Whale Mountain').. stands to the south of the town of Al-Ain (UAE) close to the border with Oman...

Thanks for making this lovly poem.. it makes me feel happy..fills my day with happiness..



Bright Eyes
by ANNELINE


Those eyes…so bright, but yet so sad
What can I do to make them glad

Who did them wrong
Why are they not strong

Those eyes…a song of loneliness
A sign of emptiness

What are they searching for
Happiness….and what more?

Eyes like those, should shine
And everything should be fine

What can I do to make them happy
Just tell me once, and I’ll be snappy

Bright eyes….make them bright
With all your might

Bright eyes…let them shine
For they are destined to be divine

First day of spring in DUBAI

I don't think I've tried to draw anything for weeks...yesterday night I thought to draw something instead of watching indian movies... I tried it by pen with waterproof ink..i loved to try draw and paint..BTW I was trying to draw Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza..she was in Dubai to play in Dubai $ 1 million Open Tennis Chanpionship 2006 owned and organized by Dubai Duty Free..under the patrianage of Sheikh Mohd. Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Ruler of Dubai)

Sania Mirza and Venezuela's Maria Vento-Kabchi have bowed out of the women's doubles event in the Dubai Open. Sania was earlier beaten by Martina Hingis in the singles event of the tournament. She has been playing with an elbow injury sustained during the Bangalore Open.

Rains continued across Dubai for the second day yesterday..
cool and breezy weather seemed the spirit of the residents..

In Dubai Many feel they are taking their lives in their hands when they leave home and workplaces to tackle the highways... This fear is not unfounded considering the UAE has the highest per capita accident rate in the world...
Dubai roads, on an average, claim a life daily. Speed kills, but so does carelessness and it is not always the driver's fault...Pedestrians must realise that crossing busy roads at unmarked points is nothing less than a gamble with their lives...Traffic is already a big problem with the growing number of vehicules and a real danger to one's life..take extra care when crossing busy roads..pls Careful with the bicycles as well..

Internet specialists have welcomed rules aimed at clamping down on cyber crime in the UAE.
They have described those who use the internet and computers in dubious ways as being guilty of "degrading technology".
the new rules on cybercrime carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail and a Dh20,000 fine...

India became a Republic and the constitution came into force on January 26, 1950. The Constituent Assembly was convened and appointed a committee with Dr. B.R.Ambedkar as Chairman to draft the Constitution. India declared herself to be a Sovereign Democratic Republic.

The PHOTO is the “Pulitzer prize” winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp,
located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world.

Located at the city of Agra in the State of Uttar Pradesh, the Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful masterpieces of architecture in the world. Agra, situated about 200 km south of New Delhi, was the Capital of the Mughals (Moguls), the Muslim Emperors who ruled Northern India between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Mughals were the descendents of two of the most skilled warriors in history: the Turks and the Mongols. The Mughal dynasty reached its highest strength and fame during the reign of their early Emperors, Akbar, Jehangir, and Shah Jehan.

On the first anniversary of the Asian tsunami, go and watch the documentary 'From Dust' that was filmed in Sri Lanka after the killer wave struck the island.

The film will be screened on Monday at 7.30pm and 9pm at Cinestar Cinemas, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai.

Tickets are for Dh25 and proceeds will go towards the Galle Land project for tsunami survivors.

The film, which received strong reviews in the local and international press, is directed and produced by Dhruv Dhawan and edited by Nirmal Chander, Indian-born, Dubai-based filmmakers.

'From Dust' is a 71-minute documentary that takes you into the heart of Sri Lanka's devastated coastline and explores the reason why survivors in Sri Lanka were prevented from rebuilding their homes ... an ironic tale about how a disaster created suffering for some and opportunities for others.

Welcome back

Woooow... Me and my friend have seen this movie 2 times! We love it ..Having read the book a few times, I love the adaptation..It was AMAZING! I recommend it.

9-year-old Georgie Henley who plays Lucy on the film set of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Go see the movie and injoy it! your going to love it! Oh I just want to say that it is much better then harry potter!

still have one day off!! (friday) I've had some visitors in the house..friends from my own country..and then we went to the wafi shopping center and after that we went to City Centre mall and watch "KingKong" movie... State-of-the-art visual effects, an entertaining story. and a touching ending...the basic of the movie is a very big ape gets kidnapped from his happy Skull Island home, dragged to New York and turned into a Broadway star. He then tries to escape to the Empire State Building with his girlfriend. This turns out badly for him.

To the Norwegian Noble Peace Prize Committee,

The petitioners of this document are in step with me when I say that His Highness the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan (may God rest his soul) was a man who deserved the recognition of the accolades that come in hand with the win of a Noble Peace Prize. Sheikh Zayed was a man who was recognized for his achievements to humanity as a whole; his charitable foundations and donations have proven not only to serve humanity but to also serve the purpose of understanding of the Middle East, its people and more importantly its religion; Islam. Sheikh Zayed strived to maintain the true teachings of Islam through comprehensive dialogue with his people, his nation and his region. Sheikh Zayed was not only loved and respected by Arabs and Muslims, but also by people who had never been in contact with him or his country – their affection was solely based on the humanitarian work aided by His Highness to their communities or by hearing of his great humanitarian efforts, both through aide and diplomacy.

Sheikh Zayed was a man of extraordinary tributes, a Noble Peace Prize would not only shed light on this supremely dedicated human being who’s accomplishments will live on forever, but also on the notion that the Arab and Muslim community would be truly gracious for the recognition of a man who was deemed “the Father, the Founder, the Leader”.

For more information on His Highness the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, please visit the following site for information on his life http://www.uaeinteract.com and http://www.zayed.org.ae/English/thefoundation.htm for information on his charitable works.

The clouds perfume the mountaintops
cool breezes touch the branches.
Wrestling with silence, the atmosphere's whispers
echo sweetly and drown in pleasure.
Tell me, who sent them? Who brought them?
Where did they come from?

God is Love, God Loves You..
Wish you all a happy EID

Kathakali is one of the oldest theatre forms in the world. It originated in the area of southwestern India now known as the state of Kerala. Kathakali is a group presentation, in which dancers take various roles in performances traditionally based on themes from Hindu mythology, especially the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

My favourite beach in the UAE is the beach at Khorfakkan. Khorfakkan is in the eastern side of the UAE looking out over the Indian Ocean. It is a 50-mile stretch of virgin sand, almost untouched, with little tourist industry. There are superb coral reefs off the coast and the breakers coming in off the Indian Ocean are excellent for wind and body surfing.

Dubai's exciting new tourism destination started off as a huge cultural entertainment center to cater to the need for a central meeting point where different countries could showcase the myriad cultures. Over the years it has grown into a star attraction among UAE nationals, resident expatriates from over 160 different countries and visitors from across the world. Today, this major crowd-puller has been transformed into a unique international destination for tourism, entertainment, leisure and culture. As a world-class tourism destination, the Global Village brings together diverse customs and cultures covering a broad spectrum of activities including music, dances, arts and handicrafts, theatre, costumes and cuisine of different countries.
Located in Dubailand on the Emirates Road, this destination can be easily accessed from all corners of the UAE through a superb road network. In addition to hosting the colorful activities that are organised by countries from the different continents of the world, the Global Village also offers a range of top quality facilities and services including provision of restaurants, shuttle transport services and a huge parking area that can accommodate thousands of vehicles. Special requirements for families are speedily and efficiently taken care of by a courteous staff at the Global Village.

Dubai: More than three million shoppers are expected to descend on the Global Village for the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).

Starting January 4 the 11th festival is already creating a buzz across the city

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

~~I hope you all have a great start into 2006~~

The Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) is a voluntary, non-government organization (NGO) devoted to protecting the environment through means of education, action programs and community involvement. Our organization is open to men and women of all nationalities. EEG is actively encouraged and supported by concerned local and federal government agencies. It is the first environmental NGO in the world to be ISO 14001 certified and the only organisation of its kind in the UAE with accredited status to the United Nations Convention to Combating Desertification (UNCCD).
To promote community waste reduction and recycling both as means of protecting the environment from the long term burden of waste and also as a flagship for improving community's environmental awareness, EEG organises "Clean up campaigns", at least twice a year in the most polluted parts of the city. These campaigns started in 1992 and are organised in the first and last quarters of the year to mark national and international environmental occasions.



The objectives of the Clean up campaigns are:

To reduce the amount of waste at the designated site
To create awareness of local environmental issues
To inculcate good environmental behavior and civic responsibility in the younger generation
Clean-up activities are one way in which people can positively demonstrate their care and concern for our environment. These campaigns bring in the government, business community and individuals to demonstrate that being environmentally active can be simple and enjoyable and should be participated by everybody.

Clean Up Campaign is an activity, which transcends all border and ideologies and brings people of all cultures together. It has been and should be an activity of our everyday lives.

World AIDS Day is a yearly, global event started in January 1988 to promote awareness and action in the fight against HIV/AIDS. According to UNAIDS estimates, there were 37.2 million adults and 2.2 million children worldwide living with HIV at the end of 2004. During the year 4.9 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35. Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world. In Africa alone, more than 17 million people have died from AIDS and another 25 million are infected with the HIV virus, approximately 1.9 million of whom are children. Every day in Africa, HIV/AIDS kills 6,300 people. 8,500 people are infected with the HIV virus and 1,400 newborn babies are infected during childbirth...
