FISH! Philosophy

I have been blessed to attend a seminar on FISH! philosophy which is evolved from a fish market story. I hope you have seen the video of the fish market, how those people enjoy their work life and make the customers happy as well. If you haven't seen the video perhaps you can meet these people in Seattle fish market. This is a real story and they are still there. During the lunch time people go to this market to see how they sell fish. It's very amazing to watch and I'm sure you will be stressed free from your busy work lives to hear their songs and jokes.

Fish! philosophy is based on 4 factors which are very easy to implement in our day today work life.

:: Be there

:: Make their day

:: Play

:: Choose Your Attitude

Hope you'll have a happy and stressed free work life.

Newlyweds

At Mamzar Park

Alright, here again we are going to organize a newlyweds exclusive lunch fiesta. This will happen in Mamzar park of Dubai where we can enjoy ourselves with loads of outside activities. I wanted to go to Jumeirah beach instead which I think is nicer than Mamzar. But the main reason I wanted to go there is, we all went to Mamzar once and we couldn't go to Jumeirah still. I have seen nice pictures of the beach and I'm mesmerized by its beauty and enchanted by its magical surroundings. I am looking forward for the big events. I like to walk on the beach at the evening and thread on sea water foaming ashore.

There will be new lady members joining this event to situate a women association. Earlier I was the only female member among 14 other male members. Last time we went to Mamzar, I videoed them playing beach volleyball and having a bath in the sea. I'm looking forward to have more fun again in the beach.

Fireworks

Fireworks of Dubai Shopping Festival

This is one of the pictures taken at Dubai Creek

Doom dum dum....we were astounded by hearing the first sound of fireworks in Dubai Creek. It took 10 seconds for us to realize they were fireworks. We watched the night sky glittering with dozens of firecrackers. It was such an eye-catching scene that I couldn't get my eyes off them. We managed to take loads of beautiful photos of fireworks. These fireworks will be there everyday until 24th Feb i.e.Until DSF is over.

Blessings in Disguise

Problem
George W. Bush arrived in Dubai and he was warmly welcomed. This was the first ever visit of a sitting US president to UAE. Due to his arrival some roads were closed for security reasons and there were huge traffic jams. My colleagues were cursing him for causing much traffic.

Solution
But lately all the cursing turned to a blessing after a text message from office when we were returning home. Due to some road closure and expected congestion it was declared a public holiday in Dubai. That was a surprise holiday, after havoc for most of the people who were caught in the traffic for hours. Fortunately I was able to come home without getting caught to much traffic jams.

Result
We spent our holiday in our friends' place also known as "Maha Gedara". We all got together and gave a lunch for one of our friend's parents who visited Dubai. The lunch came out well although the chief cook was not present (He got married in January and enjoying holidays in SL). Most of us learned to cook after coming to Dubai. We were able to have this lunch coz of US president's visit, so I call it a blessing in disguise. :)

We were called "Al Baraha Gang" which is comprised of 15 members (all are boys except me) for now and rapidly growing with new members joining after the marriage. Three of my friends went back to SL to get married and they are due to come back with their new brides in February. We are in the process of organizing nice events for couples who are starting new lives in Dubai.

Nobody

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you-Nobody-too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Dont tell! they'd banish us-you know!

How dreary-to be-Somebody!
How public-like a Frog-
To tell your name-the livelong June
To an admiring Bog!

By Emily Dickinson

New Year dawns in Dubai

It was New Year's Eve in Dubai. To my surprise I heard people screeching, howling and clattering metals outside at exactly 12 midnight. I had a peek through the window. People were on the road dancing and they stopped vehicles heading towards them. There was such a loud noise emanating from horns of vehicles and voices of people. Despite of this drama, there were magnificent fireworks displayed on the sky, which is the only thing to be happy about being here in Dubai. Then after a while people on higher buildings were throwing water at the innocent people walking on the road or driving, passing their flats.

I hope for peace and serenity throughout 2008 without noise pollution and unfortunate incidents.
