A look at Holidays!

I took a week's leave from work since my sis is in town! :-)s! Yay!!

Yea, Its great to have her back...From the time she was out of the airport till today we have been chit chatting and enjoyin the sibling togetherness after a year's gap!There are moments when I think this is perfection and nothing should have changed, getting back together was not hard at all ,its at the end of her leave that things are going to get tough again for me...

Anyways, we chilled at the new shopping malls in town,dined out and went for long drives.We made it to Oman on Friday afternoon-a 2 day trip, it was worth it!Took a bus and while watching movies, exchanging comments was fun...once we were at Ruwi's Novotel, we didnt have a problem choosing which bed belongs to whom.(so glad!) and we more or less agreed on what channels to watch!

Sultanate of Oman has to offer a peaceful, nature-loving, town-like simple living for its people.The country boasts of rich Islamic architecture and greenery , be it decorating the roadsides, the round abouts, mosques,offices or even apartments.The infrastructure is excellents and place is quite enjoyable if you like mountainous drives and lovely sea views from the top!Liberal about other religions, Oman has beautiful Krishna and Siva temples. besides Ostrich and turtle farmsthe beautiful beaches at Qurum and Qantab,the Grand Mosque(must-see),the Muscat city are prime attractions.There are no crazy traffic jams or congested buildings around the city and the mountains on the backgrounds add to the beauty.If you are looking for subtle,comfortable living and escape from rat-race in dynamic cities ,Oman seems a good choice.

I am back in office today and feel kinda gloomy about that....my room is also in a mess to add to it ,somehow writing a review on holidays has helped my mood.

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
