Hello friends, hope all of you are doing great. A belated Eid Mubarak to all the Muslim bloggers out there. Hope you had a blessed & fun-filled eid.
Most old readers must have noticed almost a dead blog. Are you curious to know the reason? No no, I did not get married. You want to know who is slowly killing this blog? It is the Twitter box you see on the left side, ladies & gentlemen, that is the culprit. Dubai Guy is officially addicted to Twitter & invites you to become an addict, that is if you haven't already become one ;-)
What else? Well nothing much. It was a very slow Eid. Every Eid, the number of people you personally go to greet or receive them is going down. Apart from the close family relatives, the number of people I met on the Eid day can be easily counted on fingers of my hand. This was not the case only a few years ago. Maybe its technology, which although has diminished the distances over the air waves, but has also increased the distances between people.
The way things are going, I believe face to face interactions would totally disappear soon. We are becoming self-centered people. You will find most muslims boasting about how they have preserved their family values, perhaps it was true before, but I think the landscape has considerably changed, at least in the "developed" muslim countries.
Okay, enough blabbering for the day. Pray that God gives me enough motivation to write another post soon. Till then, Peace be on all of you :)

Admitting your addiction is the first step in dealing with it.
But i believe twitter is not evil my friend, since there isn't a twitter rehab, enjoy the Twitter-aholic days =D
Belated Eid to u as well, sad but true. Life, people change... and we just have to adapt..
Mercy be upon ur soul, Blogging is still better than twitter. Don't tell anyone i said that ;)

Oh no...i don't personally get whats the big deal about twitter, too much hype, but at least we know now where you've been hiding...
Happy Eid to you and your family bro !
No way, being a blogger is much nicer..
It's like a sky, just fly and say what you want to say and no one can stop you......
i usually forget to twitter..i have to remind myself to keep it updated..i think i'd be much more into it if i buy a BlackBerry :P facebook isnt my thing either..i really hate it :/ blogging is much more my thing but even at times i just feel bored. i need a new thing :P
Belated Eid.
Facebook tends to do that sometimes to me instead of twitter.
And you're right about the ties between families lessening, although i don't think technology can be fully blamed if you know what I mean. :)
Eid Mubarak. Hope you have had a beautiful Eid and a wonderful Ramadhan. Be happy...!
