Here We Start – Issue #32

Dear Sail Readers,

For our 32^nd issue, we have a new member joining us through a very unique column. Budoor Al Yousuf takes a unique look at the world around her. She applies a sense of the mystical to everyday happenstance and turns it on its head. The result is her column: “Mental Pondering”.

Through this issue we are targeting many different topics that we hope you find interesting and valuable. We always look forward for your discussions on the articles to build new perspectives for all of us.
