I’ve always believed in the theory that the Universe helps bring our goals closer to us, and that we naturally attract to us and into our lives the things that we mostly desire and work towards achieving. What happened last night at the World Luxury Expo only proved that notion of the Universe even more and now I have stronger faith and trust in the Universe and GOD!
I was sitting in Johnny Rockets (the American burger joint) waiting for my lunch when I saw an sms from a friend asking me to join in attending the World Luxury Expo at the seven-star Bur Al Arab hotel. The message mentioned that we should look sharp as it’s a VIP invitation-only event at a highly glamorous location. When I considered the time that I had to get ready, the other errands that I had planned, and the time it would take me to gulp down my mini burgers and fries, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to make it on time, and might make my friends run late. However, my friend’s persistence made me change my mind and decide to skip the dry cleaners trip, eat half of my meal and head out as quickly as possible to get ready in time for my glamorous night in town.
While in the car, my friend told me about a magazine who will be at the event, and I thought that it would be a good idea for me to approach them and give out my business card. As we got there, my friend went to the magazine’s stall and I followed minutes later. Only I wasn’t sure where it was located…So, I was in the second level of the exhibition, not sure where to look. I ask a lady about any magazine stands and she replies that she has no idea. As I stand there slightly confused, I glance the logo of the magazine that I have been dreaming to join for the past six months on the projector screen! Yes, I had been exchanging e-mails with the Vice President of that new magazine since he announced on Linkedin that it was coming to the UAE. And it has already been six months, believe it or not! But since he was traveling a lot and had been busy, we didn’t get a chance to meet in person.
My heart beating so fast, I saw my friend heading down to the lower level from the other side of the floor, and so I ended my conversation with that lady explaining to her that I found out where that magazine is. (To make the story clear, the magazine that my friend was heading to is not the same one that I had been dreaming to join for the past six months). I walked towards the area where my friend was, and eventually found the magazine stand for the magazine that my friend was communicating with earlier. After a few minutes of networking with the lady at the stand, filling out a form to receive a complimentary copy of the magazine to my door step, and asking her desperately if she knew where the “T Emirates” magazine stand was and her replying with “no idea”, I was ready for my next challenge: finding the “T Emirates” magazine stand in this two story compressed space venue. I had a feeling that I was close, but the lady’s answer of not knowing where the other magazine stand was brought doubt into my heart. How could she not know about another magazine’s stand in this small exhibition? Are they really here or are they just advertising on the expo’s screen?!
As I walked towards the end of the hallway approaching the stairs to go down, I was about to head in the opposite direction to look in the rest of the floor in case I missed it earlier and since there seemed to be no more stands to look at, (and was also planning to take the other stairs down to meet my friends), I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the stand for “T Emirates”! I immediately went up to the ladies at the stand and explained to them how I had been contacting the VP for the past couple of months…I was pleased to meet with the Assistant General Manager and to get her contact details to send her my CV and cover letter! At the end of our conversation, she took a picture of me with the preview copy of the magazine, and I ran down the stairs like a child who found a piece of candy and was roaming the venue looking for my friends to tell them my exciting story!
The most interesting part of the story is that I wasn’t even planning to attend the event. Unless my friend had insisted that I join them. And another remarkable fact is that I randomly met one of my friends from last night at a University alumni event last October, when I was looking to network, and have approached that lady friend who was standing alone in that event to start a conversation!
I guess the Universe does work in our advantage at all times. We just need to give it time to reveal to us its miraculous ways!

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Salut très bon site internet, bonne journée rencontre amoureuse

Thanks so much for the article post. Really Great.
I love looking at and I believe this website got some really useful stuff on it!
Very interesting details you have remarked, regards for posting.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart. “Man is the measure of all things.” by Protagoras.
