My dear Readers,
I read somewhere that a city, a town is successful not when it is rich but when its people are happy.
And when are people happy?
Well, people are happy when they have freedom and security to enhance their day-to-day life.
They are happy when the governance of the land is clearly firm in laws and reasonable in implementation of basic principles.
Dubai – my second home has all the above and more!
I love UAE.
I love my motherland, India.
May the friendship of the two nations grow stronger and stronger!

Kumar – he was at that time the Convener of Indian Community Welfare Committee in Dubai.
