NO YOU DON'T OWN THE ROAD!!!


A swanky car sports a sticker that says,” YES, I do own the road.”
Sounds humorous, doesn’t it?
Would you really see humor of it if the owner took the message in the sticker seriously?
Unfortunately, a lot of people do think that they own the roads. The result – utter chaos, endless traffic jams and vehicles caught in peak hour traffic, Missed appointments, missed opportunities, maybe even a missed flight, a thought for your hassled fellow commuter who tries his/her best to follow traffic norms, and pays a price for your thoughtlessness, It’s no achievement being a road hog, you don’t score any brownie points .
On the country, you get on the nerves of people who try and wave out of the way in a bid to avoid a head-on collision. Muscat’s roads have too many cars these days, and to that a bunch of thoughtless people who think it’s fashionable to break all the rules. A sticker that says, “Follow rules, it make life simpler”, has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? We don’t own the road folks, it belongs to us all. Let’s drive responsibly, and make sure we do our bit to ease Muscat’s traffic woes... (( The Week- June 11,2008))

5250-Foot Tower Will Make Burj Dubai Look Like Pencil



Sure, the Burj Dubai tower looks amazingly tall, but it's final height— currently projected to be 2,300 feet— is less than half that of a new building planned for Saudi Arabia. It's going to be 5,250 feet high. Yup, that's just 30 feet short of a mile tall: taller than anything under construction anywhere, and making it easily the world's tallest building. Think they should stick a TV antenna on the top and go for that extra 30 feet? I sure do.
It's going to be built in a new city near Jeddah on the Red Sea and is funded by billionaire Prince al-Walid bin Talal. He bought London's Savoy hotel for a cool $2.5 billion in 2005. So you can suspect that there'll be a hotel in the building somewhere. By my calculations, the tower will have somewhere between 320 and 350 floors, so perhaps that should be "several hotels".
Not much is known about the details yet, other than the fact that it'll have two supporting flying-buttress towers to help keep it up (both more than 800 feet high). It will also have advanced damping systems to stop the swaying at high floors from making people sick, and it's going to need amazing engineering to cope with freezing wind at the top and desert heat at the bottom.
It's so tall that much of the ferrying of material and construction workers will have to be by helicopter. And that's just cool.

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque


Work began on the construction of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque complex on a site by a main road between Muscat and Seeb early in 1995. It was completed six years later and inaugurated by His Majesty the Sultan in May 2001.


The developed part of the site, including the fully consolidated areas and landscaping, covers 416,000 square metres. The Mosque complex (covering 40,000 square metres) is constructed on a raised podium in keeping with the tradition of Omani mosques that were built elevated from street level. It can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers and consists of a main prayer hall, ladies prayer hall, covered passageways, a meeting hall, and library which will eventually contain up to 20,000 books.


The whole interior of the Grand Mosque is panelled with off-white and dark grey marble panelling clothed in cut tile work. Ceramic floral patterns adorn arch framed mural panels set in the marble forming blind niches in a variety of classical Persian, predominantly Safavid, designs. The ceilings are inspired by those of Omani forts.


The mihrab in the main prayer hall is framed by a border of Quranic verses and a gilded ceramic surround. The dome comprises a series of ornate, engraved stained glass triangles within a framework of marble columns, and a Swarovski crystal chandelier with gold-plated metalwork hangs down for a length of 14 meters.

A major feature of the main prayer hall is the hand-made Persian carpet consisting of . 1,700 million knots, weighing 21 tonnes and made in a single piece measuring 70 x 60 metres. From design stage it took 4 years complete and 600 female weavers from province of Khurasan in Iran were imvoly The Grand Mosque inspired the founding of a contemporary institute dedicated to advanced Islamic studies with appropriate educational facilities and accommodation...=)
