I have recently come from New Delhi, India to Sharjah. It was my first Eid here. I loved being here on Eid. Everything was so smooth here. I could go on for shopping till late in the night. I went to meet my friends in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. Driving here was so smooth, even despite heavy rush in the road everywhere traffic movement was amazing.

Motorists here follow traffic rules and respect each other. Even pedestrians are respected. I appreciate the traffic department for having such an amazing training system where everybody follows rules.

I will always remember my first Eid of Sharjah. We got four days of break. I went to the mosque in the morning for Eid prayer and there was good arrangement for women also. Children received chocolate and sweets after the prayer. People greeted each other without even knowing. Even all the parks in Sharjah were flooded with people who had assembled to enjoy an outing with their family.

It was a great sight indeed. No wonder UAE is an amazing place to live and work in. I appreciate the Rulers of the land for giving us such a comfortable life. I will make sure I do not miss Eid of Sharjah. This is the best Eid I have ever celebrated in my whole life.
