He is a resident of Dubai and the government of UAE is supporting him and his largely extended family with 60 thousand dirhams per month. Isn’t this really absurd?

My Experience on A Rainy Day gives me sweet memories. Rains are blessings. Rains are a curse. If we could control rains and bring them on wherever we are in need or keep them off as long as we desires them‚ of course rains would be a blessing. But as it is‚ elements of nature are not under human control sometimes not to our liking. There was a day when it rained and I did not like it. It was a holiday and I had planned to enjoy the day.

Once at the ranch‚ we enjoyed a variety of activities. The sun shone down on us‚ as we lived out our wonderful Saturdays away

I wake up every day hoping that it will be prodigious for me. My hands get sticky like glue as I prepare the syrups to make sure they are safe to sell. Then I get my block of ice it gets my hand so cold it gets numb. I make sure the corn is soft‚ hot and ready to sell.
