Here We Start

Dear Sail Readers,

Today, we are one issue away from marking our second year anniversary for launching Sail eMagazine. To honor this mark, we will be hosting an event to celebrate Sail team, our readers and our beloved fans. The event will take place during the beginning of the first week of March, 2012; more details will be shared along this month. Do make sure you subscribe with us to get the updates by email, and you can also follow us on our twitter and facebook accounts to stay updated with our news.

We would love to see you at the event, which will include a discussion forum with our team members about their columns, contributions and to know more about them. Our fans will be able to communicate directly with Sail team and discuss their thoughts with them regarding old and future contributions. Looking forward to see you there!

Here is the brief about our 23^rd issue – February, 2012:

• Art of Living 101: Hamda AlHashemi writes about life situations becoming an optical illusion, and how it is usually because of us and the way we think.

• The Mind’s Eye: Moadh Bukhash takes a longer perspective to count a few intriguing changes to our lives, and how they will fundamentally change the way we live our lives.
• To The Point: Mohammed Kazim describes the implications of improving a nation’s service that if known beforehand would have saved the responsible parties a lot of criticism.
• Words, Observations, and Ramblings: Reem Abdalla interviews the creators of PeetaPlanet, a show about two ex-corporate Emirati executives, turned social-restaurateurs, turned modern-day globe-trotting Bedouins.
