The world around us

Most people in Dubai are extremely fashion and beauty conscious. They take to all the latest trends in slimming, beauty and so on as quickly as the women of NYC. One of the trends that has been becoming very popular is the Orovo detox, which everyone seems to be raving about. I must confess, that I have not tried it out myself, and I’m not likely to either, but I am quite intrigued about it and would love to talk to someone who has done it recently, if only for the sake of understanding it better and writing an article about it.

Dubai has become known for its large scale of doing everything. If a mall has to be built, it has to be the largest in the world. Things seem incongruous at first, things like a ski slope in the mall in a desert, but after a while one comes to expect such audacity from local architecture. The new Dubai Mall, which opened last week has an Olympic size skating rink, the largest single plate aquarium in the world and a three zone Discovery Center, complete with penguins, sharks and so on. I’m yet to go see the mall…hopefully this weekend….and I hope it lives up to its hype. With over 1200 stores in the amll, not all are even open as yet, so that will be a little time in coming.

It seems that the debate around the diet pill is always going to continue, as people look for simpler ways to combat weight gain. As our society has changed, so has our diet, which has undergone a very drastic change in the past couple of decades. The result is that most people are not able to lose weight the old fashioned way, just by exercising and controlling their diet. There has to be medication involved or sometimes even surgery to get people to a healthy weight and shape. Hopefully, those who undergo such treatments are able to control their weight in the future, since it can have a lot of adverse affects. Losing weight by using diet pills is a mush simpler alternative, but it is medication and must be followed very carefully and only after consultation of a medical practitioner.
