After Time

The curtain of 2020 will be descending and a new year will be arising in a matter of hours. It has been a year none of us could have predicted, in which there have been downs and also ups when we saw everyone pulled together to overcome the challenges thrown at us by the pandemic. As we welcome the New Year, let us build on the best that we have learnt from 2020 and look forward with renewed hope for a healthy, safer and better year with the Almighty's grace and accord.

Happy New Year, with kind regards from me to you readers, your families and loved ones.

Masala Dosa

MTR Vegetarian Restaurant nestles in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur serves marvelous authentic Bangalore India food such as Masala Dosa or commonly known here as Masala Tosei. It goes with lentil bean as the inner gravy and olive oil poured on the dosa. My favourite drink is its special filter Arabica coffee bean with fresh goat milk. A clean and fast serving food restaurant, MTR has been here since 1924. Must try cause I enjoyed every minute of it! Friday 18/2/2022.

There is an abundance of oil in circulation but travelling is limited, how irony. It will take a recovery in demand to really turn the market round and that will depend on how the health crisis unfolds. Further, pessimism about the prospects of oil companies and oil prices continues to rise. ⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸

Abstinence

"O you believers, fasting is prescribed to you as it was presribed to those before you, that you may learn self-restraint". The Quran 02:183.  In a matter of two days, marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, which occurs on the ninth month of the lunar-based Islamic calendar, all Muslims are required to abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk for 30 days.
