Opening of Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar




Opening of Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in Doha was the next big thing happened after Asian Games and I feel lucky that I was part of both the events. The Building of MIA is not just a modern day construction marvel but the Islamic Art collections are even more marvellous. The museum can easily be said the jewel in the modern Arab architectural crown.

Qatar has truly listed itself in the names of countries, which are committed to preserve the history for their generations to come. This Museum is also said to be the rare reflection of the mixture of old and contemporary Islamic architecture of our times. At the time, where whole of the Gulf has big sky scrappers of western type and still building big, this museum has superseded them all in its beauty and marvel.

Imprisoned Hear me! Heed me! One more time!! Hear my whispers, hear my rhymes I fright!

In absolution, I want to finally sleep Hear me! Hear me! One last time. Muhammad Ali Monday July 18, 2016

I agree! The equation should always be like this, but it is not in our country. My point is simple; our political and civic scene has been raped by Military Inc. so badly that we need at least fifty years to come to our senses again. Not so long ago we were told, and our nation believed that USSR wanted to reach our warm waters through Afghanistan and we jumped in fire to stop that advancement. This story was not sold to us via politicians, in fact, it was sold to us after hanging a politician, ten years of tyranny and uniformed absurdness gave us a crop which we are reaping now. Then we were sold the stories like Mr. 10%, Jinnah Pur, an elected PM trying to be Amir-ul-Momaneen, we again bought the stories. Eight years of tyranny, result! yet another crop to reap. Ironically, who ...
