WEDNESDAY 20
New pizza
Who knew pizza could be a sweet treat? Dubai’s 800PIZZA is celebrating a whooping 12 years in business this March by spoiling its patrons and giving away a complimentary “Birthday Pizza” prepared with Nutella and Ricotta, with every order above Dhs40. The offer ends today, so be quick!
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif left many fans heartbroken on Friday as the weather played spoilsport to their grand plans for a Dabangg event in the city. Even as UAE residents cocooned themselves in the comfort of their homes to watch the rains drizzle down on their parade, the shocking news of the sickening massacre in New Zealand brought home the truth that we are never ever safe from the dangers of extremism. The senseless tragedy brings home the truth more than ever that we all need to look inwards in an increasingly divisive world and open our hearts and minds to the fact that we as people need to collectively lookout for each other and act together to keep our world safe from elements of extremism. In other news from the world of entertainment, Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman and Full House veteran Lori Loughlin may be facing the full brunt of society’s anger for their involvement in the college admission bribery scandal, but over the years, we have seen how forgiving Hollywood can be, especially in the case of celebs with talent and goodwill. So even as they face social media put-downs and are at the receiving end of talk show hosts’ wit right now, we wonder if the time isn’t far off when they will be forgiven and embraced wholeheartedly by the same peers who are currently vilifying them.
May the world around us give us more reasons to cheer and less to feel disheartened as we go about our busy lives.
