Help the Birds this Summer

It is unusually hot these days that even the small creatures cannot bear the heat. It is that time of the year again here in the Middle East when we have to endure the scorching heat and pray that it does not get us. So, imagine how the small creatures feel in this extreme weather condition.

My request is now for my family, friends and loyal readers to please forward this to as many people as you can to spread the word. A little help will go a long, long way to our feathered friends. The picture says it all.

Go-Green Shopping

When visiting other countries, try your very best to check out the local markets, small stores and the off-the-beaten-path stores and see their produce, goods and handicrafts as well rather than going to the city malls and department stores. By going to these local markets, you are helping to support the local business.

Environment - Global Warming

Saving Mother Earth in my own little ways is one of my top priorities. I assert myself when it comes to educating people about the nature we live in and what fury we can face if we don't start taking care of it, in this instance, our very own Mother Earth.

My little gestures of saving paper, re-using what can be re-used, recycling and reducing wastage both at home and in the office are my simple ways of contributing for the betterment of the place we live in. I don't care about how my office mates tease me relentlessly for being passionate about this. I just have few words to those who don't listen - GLOBAL WARMING.

Dubai's Revolving Tower

Dubai is booming on a rapid phase. This place is known for being the first to construct an entire village via reclamation on the Arabian peninsula - the Palm and then another first which is the construction of the mini World on the sea again, first place to have the only 7-stars hotel which is the Burj Al Arab. There's another grand plan in the pipeline and this is the Revolving Tower which will turn 360 degrees, giving everyone a different landscape every single day. How would you like to wake up one fine morning with a different view of Dubai? One moment you are staring out straight to the Emirates Twin Towers and next thing you know it, you are looking on the other side of the city towards the beach. That will be a nice experience perhaps.

A friend sent me this simulated pictures of how it's going to look like once completed. It is complete with it's own car garage and lift for the cars! They said, the revolving action will generate electricity for the building so it won't consume electricity, much to an environmentalist's glee!
