Holiday Resort in the Mountains of Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is a great place for a holiday and the northern mountains with resort at 5000 ft is a wonderful place in the winter


Jebel Hafeet - HolidayMe - holidayme.com
 Abu Dhabi  has wonderful resorts, bars, and beaches. In the north of the country is the famous Jebel Hafeet mountain. This forms a barrier between Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The mountain rises to a height of over 5500 feet and during winter it becomes pretty cold here. At a height of 5000 feet, there is the Mercure Grand #Resort.
This is a 5 Star Deluxe resort and is nestled in the mountains creating a wonderful world more like that in the Arabian Nights. There is a lovely road that leads to the resort up in the mountain. It rises up to 5000 feet, it's a beautiful motorable road and is an engineering delight. At night the road is floodlit. The resort is 120 kilometers from the capital Abu Dhabi

The resort

The resort overlooks the town of Al-ain which is supposed to be the green belt of Abu Dhabi. The resort itself is a delight with a heated swimming pool and three eating outlets and a bar. One can have his choicest cocktails and mocktails at the bar and on certain nights the bar also regales customers with the belly dance. The resort has all the amenities that one can think of and many Americans and Britishers spend days at this resort relaxing in the sun and swimming in the heated pool and drinking away to glory. 

Up to the top

From the resort, one can drive another 7 kilometers up the mountain to the flat plateau that overlooks the town of Al-ain below.
It can be really chilly in winter at this site. The place has two cafeterias where one can enjoy hot coffee and a burger. The best time is to drive to this spot after midnight. it can be a very romantic moment at that height with the cold wind swishing around your ears. A hot cup of coffee adds to the atmosphere

Best mountain resort

 The best part is that the entire area is peaceful and the Arabs are a friendly lot. There is no dress code and it is possible to swim in the pool in a bikini. Many women from Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia also visit this resort to get away from the oppressive discipline in their countries. Maybe if you are lucky you could strike a relationship with one of them

Can Modi and Trump Gel with Each Other? * 62




Modi Is Luring Overseas Talent Back To India - Business Insider - businessinsider.com

ADVERTISEMENTS
Narendra Modi and Donald's  election campaign has many similarities. Donald Trump was castigated for his views on Muslims, Hispanics and women and Modi was pilloried for his perceived support for Hindu right wing elements as well as the Gujerat riots of 2002 which led to some Muslims being killed.

Political views

The similarity ends here and in both are the anti-thesis of each other. Donald is a rich and affluent businessman while Modi is a humble man who worked as a waiter at a tea stall. Donald does not seem to have any firm political views though now he has embraced the extreme right-wing concepts. He has also not been a lifetime GOP member. In contrast, Modi has spent his entire life as a "pracharak" (worker) with the RSS and is a life long member of the  RSS.

Lifestyle

The differences between the two with regard to the fair sex is also the palpable opposite of each other. Donald is married thrice and has 5 children. In addition, he seems to relish the company of women. In contrast, Modi was married for 3 years but he left his wife 30 years back. He never divorced her and the lady Yashoda Behn continues to reside in a small village in North Gujerat:; subsisting on a small pension which she earned as a teacher.
In contrast to his neglected wife, Modi lives an affluent style and dresses impeccably. He once wore a dress with his name embroidered in a golden thread which led president Obama to remark that he was a Bollywood star. The dress was later auctioned for Rs 9 crores ($1.3 million). In addition, Modi who is 66 has not been linked with any woman and he has lived a life without one. Compared to the frugal existence of Yashoda all of Donald's wives got a fat alimony.

Last word

The personal lifestyle of both leaders is the anti-thesis of each other. Yet it will be wrong to conclude that Modi and Trump will not hit it off together. Trump admires strongmen like Putin and Modi is a strong leader. In addition, the interests of India and the USA converge under Modi and Trump and thus there is every chance that both the leaders will work together. Modi got along well with Obama who he considers his personal friend and being a pragmatist leader he and Trump will work together

PLayboy is now ALIVE again: The motto"Naked is Beautiful"

Playboy Is Back To Its Earlier Format

The playboy magazine had bombed and two years back it became a non-nude magazine but readership crashed further and now it back in its earlier avatar.

The magazine is coming back like it was in the old days. People had really missed the magazine and now from March 17, the magazine will hit the stands like the olden days. There is much excitement as people have realized what they had missed. it was just not the nudes, but a whole lot of great stories and articles and interviews with some great personages. Who can forget that stars like John Wayne had given interviews in Playboy? I recollect reading that interview and even now I can remember every word of what John said particularly with regard to blacks. I won't repeat it here.
 :
The magazine will not be competing against porn on the net. Nudes will only be incidental. But the magazine will cater to some cerebral activity as well and its new motto is almost tongue in cheek" naked is beautiful". 

"Lipstick under my Burkha" a film about dreams of Muslim women

Censor Board Refuses To Certify " Lipstick Under My Burkha"

The film " lipstick under my burkha " is a Hindi film and was screened at the Mami film festival but is awaiting commercial release as the film is not certified by the censor board
the film relates the tale of 4 Mulsim women( all wear burkha).All these 4 women live out their lives and have dreams. there are some explicit love scenes and a taboo subject as the director shows the 55 years widow loving a younger man.The film runs for just about 2 hours and for voyeurs it can be a titillating experience as there are some torrid scenes. Considering that the director is a woman and just 30 ( Ms. Shrivastava), one can surmise she has a personal touch in all of them.  All in all, it makes the entertaining film.
Last but not the least it is aPrakash Jha film

A Devious Plan and Seducing an American Girl

When you are 46 and the girl is 24 , is it a case of a mismatch? I wonder but this is precisely what happened: a lovely girl who came into my arms and the fact that she was American perhaps was the icing on the cake. American girl and icing to the cake? Well, it’s something most men feel in this age and part of the world.
I was asked after my stint in the Air force to take up an appointment in civvies street and I must say I was lucky as I headed a United Nation`s `community project for tribal development in the heart of western India at a place 90 miles into the Ghats at Mumbai. I was the director and under me, we had a string of specialists and qualified men and women who were doctorate holders. Things hotted up when a young American doctor landed from New York. She was to be part of the health development of the tribals who lived in an era that was long past.
Sally, for that, was her name was a lovely girl. She was about 5ft 4 inch tall and with 3-inch heels was just about taller than me when standing. She wore short pants most of the time and one was struck ( I will say for myself)  with the curvaceous calves and lovely bare thighs. Add a slim waist and a fair complexion with auburn hair tied in a ponytail just about accentuated her looks. She was a doctor, yes but extremely feminine.
I took a momentary decision and decided that Sally would accompany me on all my trips and so she became a willing partner with me as we moved in the dense forests of the Ghats and the villages of the tribal. She was good natured and we both hit it well. She was inquisitive about India and I told her a lot, even about the erotic sculptures at Khajuraho.
In about 2 months we became close and I worked my proximity as a director and boss over her to my advantage. One fine day it rained and we all know the thundershowers in the Ghats are something unreal. We sat in the land cruiser and the thunder boomed and boomed again. It was a veritable clash of titans as lightening flashed across the sky and  the clouds hung low  creating darkness all around. Is this what Krishna did in the battle to slay his enemy who could only be killed when the sun was setting.
A boom and a crash followed and by instinct I pulled Sally to me. It was a dream, a dream I had planned for long. Remember all this was stage managed by ME as I held her and kissed her. The resultant atmosphere all around was  weird with flashes of lightening and booming of thunder. This  played its part in the seduction as the inevitable happened and Sally was mine. Was it a seduction? Did I do anything bad ?  it started a relationship that lasted a long time   in relativity though only 2 months. She went back and tumultuous events followed after that , but that is another tale.

Catholic Priest from Kerala Rapes and gets Life in Prison

A Catholic priest repeatedly raped a young girl. The rapes took place from 2015 in the Indian state of Kerala. The girl complained to her mother, who immediately went to the police. An investigation was done and the priest was arrested for rape. He was charged under the Protection of Children from sexual offenses act ( POCSO). It appears that after a sermon the priest would lure the minor girl minor girl to his chamber for the gratification of his lust. The news is reported by NDTV in its evening broadcast.

The rape

The priest Fr Edwin Figarez was a well-known figure in the community and had endeared himself to the populace by his devotional singing of hymns to Jesus. After his repeated rapes were discovered he was tried under POCSO and the judge has awarded him 2 life imprisonment terms. 

Action

The priest has now been suspended by the local diocese. Catholic priests are at the center of many crimes and the Vatican is grappling with the issue. Fr Edwin was tried by a fast track court and punished in a record time.
