Don't Tell Me About the UAE National Day


Come 30th November and I was as moody as moody can be. My friends couldn't understand what was wrong with me. I decided to stay away from the Gulf News website. Logged on to Facebook and Twitter but the status messages raised my irritation. Everyone was writing and writing  & writing about the awesome national day celebrations.... I didn't want to even hear about them. I wanted to forget that it was 2nd December. 
Finally today, I got the courage to face my fears. The video coverage, the pics - all in all the National Day Coverage was excellent. My mood too has become stable as I come to terms with the fact that I couldn't be a part of the celebrations I love the most. I am in India but my heart still yearns forAl Emaraat al Arabiya al Mutahhida. Congratulations to the UAE on having come so far and wishing them the best for times to come. Now perhaps I should call my family and forgive them for being a part of the celebrations without me....
