What are some rules you should know before going to Dubai that aren't in textbooks?

 I am answering as a citizen of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Please keep the following points in mind when visiting Dubai.

1.　Do not kiss or engage in public displays of affection. This is a serious offense in Dubai, and if locals or Muslims witness it, they will report you and you will be punished by law and fines. You are in a Muslim country. (Some Europeans may not be reprimanded, but locals will take it aggressively and respond accordingly.)

2.　Avoid using abusive language or swear words. No matter what it may be like in America or Europe, using abusive language will earn you disapproving looks. I'm not sure if it's a serious crime, but when talking to locals in the UAE, please avoid using bad language. Locals take it seriously, so be careful with your words. At worst, you'll only face a fine, but please be careful.

3.　When going to a hotel, even if you're a couple, don't refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. I want to say this to couples visiting Dubai. Please refer to each other as spouses. In Dubai, marriage is highly valued, and having a boyfriend or girlfriend is not looked upon favorably.

4.　Pay attention to your attire. Men can wear shorts, but please do not dress in a disrespectful manner. This means wearing clothing that insults religion, or women wearing skirts or bikinis in shopping malls (especially during Ramadan). In the UAE, this can be punishable by law. Please make an effort to dress appropriately and properly. That's all we ask. (laughs)

5.　Drinking alcohol. In Dubai, you can drink as much alcohol as you like at licensed restaurants and hotels. You can buy alcohol at duty-free shops at the airport upon arrival in Dubai, but please do not drink it in public. Getting drunk can cause problems.

6.　Trains are separated by gender. This is not surprising. It's just a rule, so please respect it.

7.　If you are not Muslim, it is OK to eat and drink during Ramadan . You're welcome. However, please refrain from eating in front of people who are fasting. This is out of respect for the culture and traditions. You can eat and drink, but please do so in a private place or somewhere out of sight of locals. Now, all shops, including restaurants, are open in the Dubai Mall. In this respect, Dubai is less segregated than before.

8.　Do not take pictures of locals in the UAE. They find it quite offensive, and taking pictures without permission can lead to problems. It's not that I dislike having my picture taken, but I find it rude to have it taken without my consent. Thank you.

9.　Do not attack Islam, the state religion of the UAE. Anyone who discriminates against Muslims or insults Islam in the UAE will be subject to the death penalty or stoning. Strong measures will be taken against this, so do not take this lightly.

Additional information: Locals make up only 15 percent of the UAE's population. The rest are Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indians, Iranians, Egyptians, and a significant number of Filipinos. Strictly adhering to the rules is very difficult, and the rules in Dubai may be relaxed to benefit foreigners. But as a word of caution, please respect our laws and rules. It's about mutual cooperation.

Which are few rules in Cricket that most of us are unaware of?

 1. Cricket Has Its Own Penalty Decision

If the cricket ball touches the helmet or any other unnecessary kit equipment of the keeper kept on the ground irrespective of the force it touches the helmet, it is declared as PENALTY and the batting team is awarded with 5 runs.

2. Don't Be A ‘Guran' from Lagaan

A batsman will be declared out if willfully he hits the ball with his bat more than once in a single ball bowled by bowler. Inadvertent double strikes are given not out.

3. Another One In The Spirit Of The Game

You cannot have more than 2 fielders behind the square on the leg-side in all forms of the game. This is done keeping in mind the spirit of the game. Because the bowler can have fielders on both side behind the batsman and can keep on delivering bouncers.

4. Mankading Vs Shaken Spirit Of The Game

Vinoo Mankad in a Test series against Australia in 1947/48 started using this bizarre technique to run out the batsman at the non-striker end. He made sure that the non-striker is out of the bowling crease and before he would start his action he would run the batsman out. This peculiar gesture of his where he would dismiss a batsman was not appreciated by all. But the rule that clearly says that the runner has to be inside the crease before the bowler has bowled. This way of dismissal is criticized by most cricket gurus. Here's an example.

5. Ariel Stoppage = Dead Ball

Whether technology is a boon or a bane will always be a haunting topic for every generation to discuss. But cricket has an answer to this question. If a ball hits the spider cam floating over the ground, then it is considered a dead ball. Even if is sure shot six or catch, it is considered as a dead ball.

Spidercam denied Dhoni a humongous six.

Similarly, Docklands stadium in Australia is covered with roof, so if a ball hits the roof it is given as a dead ball. This charity game between Australia and World XI saw this bizarre occurrence.

6. Game without Bails.

It is allowed to play without bails on the stumps. This may happen when the wind is very strong and the bails aren't able to stick to the stumps.

Hope you like it!!!

⚜️ Effective rules of Vastu Shastra: Adopt these proven Vastu remedies to maintain happiness, peace, health and prosperity in the house ⚜️

 

⚜️🌹🦚🔹Vastu Shastra Tips: For happiness and peace in the house🔹

🔸 Proper adherence to the rules of Vastu Shastra helps in keeping the biochemical activity of the body balanced.

🏡 There should be a temple in a house. Instead of building separate prayer rooms in a house, build a temple together. If there are many temples in a house, the members have to face mental, physical and financial problems.

🔸👉By placing a threshold in the main door of the house or Vastu, many evil forces cannot enter and stay away. Every morning, in front of the main door, make Rangoli in the shape of Swastika, Kalash etc. with cow dung mixed with turmeric, kumkum and cow urine and worship the threshold and rangoli and pray to God that 'O God! Please protect my house and health from evil forces.'

🔸👉It is auspicious to tie a Toran (Bandanwar) of leaves of Neem, Mango, Ashoka etc. above the entrance door.

🔸👉 There should not be a dining room, kitchen or dining table in front of the main door.

🔸👉Apart from the main door, threshold must also be installed on the doors of the prayer room, dining room and locker room.

🔸👉Bhoomi-Poojan, Vastu-Shanti, Griha-Pravesh etc. should generally not be done on Saturday and Tuesday.

🔸👉Householders should not install white marble in their bedrooms. It is better to install it in the temple because it is a symbol of purity.

🔸👉The place to sit for office work, study etc. should not be under the beam of the ceiling because it causes mental pressure.

🔸👉Food should not be cooked or eaten in the place under the beam. This can cause financial loss. Sleeping under the beam causes health problems and one does not get proper sleep.

🔸👉The kitchen of the house should always be in the Agni angle, the gas stove should also be in the Agni angle (South East), cook food facing east, always keep the shank (utensil washer) in the North East (Ishaan angle). Do not leave dirty utensils in the bedroom or kitchen at night. Always keep them washed.

🔹If there is no prosperity in the house🔹

💵👉If there is no prosperity in the house, tie seven knots of turmeric and rock salt in a cloth and keep it in a bowl in any corner of the house, there will be prosperity.

🔹👉For success in work🔹

🔸👉The person who is not able to achieve success despite repeated efforts or has completely lost hope in achieving success, should light a lamp under a Peepal tree every Monday in the evening and do 5 rounds of that tree. The person who performs this experiment for a few days gradually starts getting success in his work.
