    Awesome view :)

    I am bored seeing it regularly ;)

    I don’t get tired of it, or the Burj Dubai either. They are both beautiful :)

    Lovely picture to end a trail of some exquisite photographic shoots that you’ve shared with us in 2008. Hope you’ll take more and grace these pages with them from time to time.

    A very happy 2009 to you, Masood and all of your family! :)
    Ameen to your prayers for the downtrodden around us!

    Thank you so much, Aadil.

    private note
    u have been infected by yet another tag :p

    I’ve published your note, so it’s not so private anymore :D

    I just peeked over at your blog and realized that you’ve tagged me twice! Or is there another blogger named Nadia? But seriously, thank you so much, Sis!

    I’ll play along those tags next year, InshaAllah.

    THAT is a fantastic picture – Its AWESOME! Now I am full impressed! :)

    The reason I came to your blog was that Aadil told me that there is a SUPER photographer out there who has taken FANTASTIC pics of the Dubai Mall – and I always thought Aadil has great choice.

    Add this pic for Skywatch friday – let others appreciate it there. :)

    Happy New Year to you and Masood as well – Blessing to you both for a wonderful future – Be happy always. :)

    Aww, you guys are so sweet, MashaAllah. But really, you didn’t have to write those two words in all caps *blushing* (though I read it over and over again) Thank you so much!

    I added this picture for Skywatch Friday :)

    Good girl – Good to have you there too – :)

    I want you to add pics there every friday now – you have the eye of a photographer – that is never hindered by pixel of camera ;)

    Every Friday! I’ll take that up as a challenge, InshaAllah.

    Thank you so much for the encouragement, Asma. I truly appreciate it.

    Wow that´s a great SWF photo! Happy New Year!

    Lovely picture!

    Happy new year.

    Just got back, so catching up.

    You guys must have had some great fireworks, given what happened when the Atlanta opened!

    Welcome back, Haleem! Hope you and Mona had a fabulous time in San Diego.

    No, we didn’t have fireworks this year. The ruler of Dubai has called out to cancel all sorts of celebration as a token of solidarity to the people in Gaza.
