My Burj Khalifa experience
My family and I entered the Burj Khalifa through the Dubai Mall. We followed the directions given on the direction board for the words, “At the Top, Burj Khalifa” to find the lift.
When we reached the elevator area, we saw a sheikh give some explanation about the Burj Khalifa to all the tourists (including us). The sheikh’s explanation did not interest me that time as I was completely interested in seeing the Burj Khalifa and was not interested in listening to anything.
When the sheikh neared towards the end of his explanation, he said, “We’re going to the 144th floor. We’ll go to the remaining floors in a lift from the 144th floor. It takes approximately 66 seconds to get to the 144th floor of the Burj Khalifa. Enjoy!” and told us to get in the elevator. As soon as the sheikh said the “It takes one minute to get to the 144th floor”, a sudden excitement to enjoy this 66 second elevator ride came into me as I walked into the elevator. When the lift door closed, I saw some moving objects or animatory pictures around the lift. I was interested in seeing the floor numbers instead of those animatory effects so I don’t know what those pictures were about. When the lift door opened again, my family and I went through the revolving door to the observation deck and saw the view of Burj-Khalifa.
The view was amazing at that particular moment. I saw the shadow of the Burj-Khalifa, cars going here and there, tons of skyscrapers and many more.
I saw some telescopes kept here and there in the observation deck. When I had looked through the telescope in the observation deck, I felt that the view from the Burj Khalifa had become bigger.
Once we finished seeing the amazing views from the 144th floor, we asked a security guard if we can go till the last floor in the lift. The security guard said that we cannot go in the lift and that we can only go in the stairs. He also said that we have to pay extra additional money if we want to go till the 163rd floor. My mom and dad thought about the extra additional money and decided not to go. After this conversation, we just exited the Burj-Khalifa and went back to the hotel.
This experience was really fun!! I just wish that we had gone till the 163rd floor.

My favourite songs from this band are:-
How you like that (2021): – This is my most favourite song from BLACKPINK. This song is a very peppy and an amazing song. When I want a distraction from doing some thing else, I listen to this song as this song helps me to rejuvenate and gives me a better focus when I come back to the something else.
I love the way the girls dance in this song. The animated effects from this song really surprises me. When the girls dance in the icy area, it makes me wonder whether we can do amazing and simple dance movements in icy areas without being slipped.

DDU-DU DDU- DU (2O18): – This song is not as good as “How you like that” but it’s still nice. I don’t really enjoy watching the video for this song as the dance movements are almost the same as “How you like that”.
I love to see the red and silky hair of the singer “Rose’” when she sings “think twice because I can’t pretend to be nice like common people don’t be mistaken the easy smile is for me” in Korean.

Pink Venom (2022):- This song is slightly better than the “DDU-DU DDU-DU” song but it’s not as good as how you like that. I love the rapping of the lines “Black paint and ammo’, got bodies like Rambo Rest in peace, please, light up a candle This the life of a vandal, masked up, and I’m still in CELINE Designer crimes, or it wouldn’t be me, ooh! Diamonds shining, drive in silence, I don’t mind it, I’m riding Flying private side by side with the pilot up in the sky And I’m wyling, styling on them and there’s no chance ‘Cause we got bodies on bodies like this a slow dance” as it’s pretty surprising to hear a person rap such long lines without losing their breath. I also love the dance step for the “Taste that Pink Venom” lyric.

Greek Salad
A Greek salad or Horiatiki salad is a popular and healthy salad in the Greek cuisine. This salad originated in Greece. My mom made the Greek salad two days back.
The ingredients used by my mom are “Olive oil, chunks of tofu, spring onion, red berry tomato, yellow and green capsicum, grated cheddar cheese, cucumber, broccoli, oregano seasoning (primarily basil and pepper), salt and cabbage (she used cabbage because she couldn’t get lettuce from the supermarket)”. This salad can be cooked without fire. My mom sauted the broccoli and cabbage though it’s not necessary.
The benefits of Greek salad are:-
. High on fibre and roughage
. Low cholesterol
. High in Vitamin A, C, Potassium and Iron
. Low Carbohydrates
. Contains phytonutrients and antioxidants
The following additional vegatables that can be included in the salad are, “Red Capsicum, lettuce, black/green olives, lemon juice/vinegar, lettuce and feta cheese (my mom used cheddar cheese)”.
