		<description>Sheela, welcome to my blog and thanks for taking time out to comment.  It&#039;s truly appreciated :)

I had started this blog primarily to put into words my experiences in life, whether it&#039;s pleasant or otherwise.  If I experience a certain situation with a particular person, I believe I have the right to talk about it in my own blog.  

You are absolutely correct, every person has their own individual chatacter and tradition - and that is exactly what I was talking about in this post.  It&#039;s my personal experience, and I want to narrate it - that&#039;s it.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.  Do drop by again to tell me how you find Sharjah Aquarium :)

Have a great day!</description>

		<description>This site is so good and I suppose it should not  be wasted on clinging mud on the people from different region or religion. Every person has their own individual character and tradition. Please let them abide by it whilst, we try to appreciate and let them live their way. LIVE AND LET LIVE!

The looks on the face of the lady maybe, because she was not an outgoing person or was not ready to greet  a visitor.

Cheers</description>

		<description>Hehehe, yeah it&#039;s with a double &#039;i&#039;. Don&#039;t ask how it came about. I was in my teens...that&#039;s a very valid excuse =P

Thanks for the welcome =) Yes, I took that photo when I went there for the first time. Came out surprisingly good! I also love Al Qasba! Pleasantly surprised that you recognized the place :)</description>

		<description>Extiinct (is that really with a double &quot;i&quot;?), welcome to my blog!  I see you&#039;ve got the musical fountain of Al Qasba as your beautiful header :)

As far as my neighbor is concerned, she had no choice but to return the wiper, because I had been standing there at my door, hehe.  My door is just three footsteps away from hers.  I was just curious about my (then) soon-to-be-neighbors :D</description>

		<description>Hi, I was blog hopping and came across yours. Very interesting!

And I so know how you feel with having neighbours who are locals! Our floor is full of locals too and possibly a couple of foreigner. The apartment next to ours has an Indian muslim family living in it. That bhi we found out only when she came over to introduce herself.

Btw, did the lady ever return the wiper?</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t people return things...one of pet peeves! :D

Infact, in our house, borrowing things from neighbours is HIGHLY discouraged. If you don&#039;t have &lt;i&gt;Hara Dehnya&lt;/i&gt;, you can have a &lt;i&gt;handi&lt;/i&gt; without it, but you don&#039;t ask for some from the neighbours. If the iron isn&#039;t working, wear some other suit, or wear a wrinkled one, but the iron is not coming from the neighbours.
&lt;em&gt;
~ Maybe they don&#039;t return stuff they borrowed because they always assume the owner will come get it :D

Same with my mother, even during grade school, we were discouraged to borrow pen/pencil waghaira from our classmates.  
&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>She seems rather strange. Why was her kid wearing all this gold... at first I thought your post was something about child marriage (now I have an imagination!) but it ends like Twilight Zone lol

&lt;em&gt;~  I&#039;ve noticed desi parents having their young children (even boys) wear gold ornaments right after the nurse hands over the newborn to the mother.  Poor babies.  

LOL @ Twilight Zone!  Well, at least your imagination is put to work here :)&lt;/em&gt;</description>
