Imran’s message To keep your morals high despite of the prevalent immoralities in the society, respect and gain respect, achieve success only when your conscience agrees to the time, effort, money and emotions in achieving it. In this way, you will be favorable in the eyes of your friends, family and moreover God.
IMRAN UMER Mr. Dubai 2015 First offall tell us how you feel as a winner of Mr. Dubai how you feel? As the winner of Mr. Dubai, I feel blessed and now feeling more dedicated and motivated towards achieving my goals and responsible to take this title to perfection and become an inspiration for others by accepting opportunities and challenges that may come my way. What make you to think to participate in Mr. Dubai? The reason I participated in Mr. Dubai was to discover my strengths and weaknesses and acknowledge them in front of the whole world, gain confidence and self-esteem and most importantly to win the Mr. Dubai title. How you “discovered” yourself as a model and how your modeling career all started. Since I was a teenager I have always wanted to become a famous model. For every career you choose, hard work and dedication is very important. Along with the obsession of excelling in academics, I was also working hard on skills and prerequisites for achieving my passion of becoming an international model. After completing my post-graduation I started approaching top modeling agencies and had myself registered with them. After a while I started getting good modeling offers and eventually the life changing opportunity of Mr. Dubai pageant. How would you describe your personal style, where do you pull your inspiration from? The best way to describe my style is versatile. I am always open to stepping out of my comfort zone and try new things. Whether I am heading to office, shoot or casual lunch I like to turn out well every time. I love sporting my fit that adheres to my love for elegant and classy looks.
Is modeling an easy job or more strenuous than people realize? Every job you do whether as a doctor, teacher, manager or model you need to work hard day and night and dedicate your time, effort and emotions to be successful. So for me doing any job requires equal efforts, hard work and dedication. What have been your favorite shoot, campaign, work to date? For every shoot to be perfect I have fully dedicated my time, hard work and efforts. So if I choose any one will question my efforts and hard work that I have put on other shoots. What's the best and worst thing about being a model? The best thing about being a model is experiencing and sharing diverse cultures as it connects people, Worst thing is sacrificing time, effort and good sleep but gaining selfesteem, confidence, colorful experiences and fame are worth all the sacrifices. Five things you can't live without? Ÿ The presence of being me Ÿ The freedom to be me Ÿ Motivation to achieve a goal Ÿ Hard work to complete a goal Ÿ Dedication to sustain a goal

Managing multiple events at the same time is very difficult and it requires me to work 20 hours a day at times, which I have been doing for the last few months as I had three projects at the same time. As I am a perfectionist and I try every event of mine to be perfect as far as my part of work is concerned. Different nationalities model were contestants in Mr. Dubai how was your experience? It was really nice to know contestants from so many different nationalities like Pakistan, India, Syria, Iran, Belarus, Palestine, Jordan and Russia. In Mr. Dubai all of them lived and boned like a family, so it made them learn so many different cultures, languages from different countries. Mr. Dubai 2015 was the most successful event of the year what is the main reason, you think is behind? The reason behind Mr. Dubai, 2015 grand success is the relentless efforts and hard work of over three months put in by the organizers, Mr. Joe Hernandez and myself, Dr. Nina Khan, our team, including Mr. Avi Muller (Head of panel of judges), Mr. Shashank Bopana Kulal (our official choreographer), Zeeshan Sheikh (our official photographer), and above all, our 19 contestants who worked hard day and night to make it a success. As I believe, behind every successful event is teamwork.
DBUSINESS R. ASMA NINA KHAN DEVELOPNMENT DIRECTOR OF EMAL MAGAZINE & CO-ORGANIZER
OF
MR.DUBAI 2015
What make you think to be a part of Mr. Dubai as a co organizer? I was approached by the founder of Mr. Dubai, Mr. Joe Hernandez, to join him this year in organizing this prestigious event with him. As I was part of Mr. Dubai as a judge last year, so this year when he was looking for an organizing partner, he approached me for this joint venture. What were the main challenges you faced while organizing Mr. Dubai? First of all, choosing 20 candidates out of 100 candidates of different nationalities was a challenge. We had rehearsals every Friday, which is a holiday, at 9am in the morning, for over 3 months. A lot of hard work, tireless days and sleepless nights of production, choreography and putting up 3 shows on three different days, was not an easy job. As Mr. Dubai is a three day pageant, Fashion night on 18th Nov, Talent night on 21st Nov and Grand Finale on 9th Dec 2015, All of which turned out to be grand successful shows due to hard work of contestants, organizers and the team. By managing multiple events what problem you face the most?

MR. JOE HERNANDEZ FOUNDER AND ORGANIZER OF
MR. DUBAI
As founder of Mr. Dubai what make you think to start such an event? Dubai is very much a “happening” city, positioning itself as the center of entertainment in the Middle East. However, most of the shows are geared or catered to women, overlooking the fact that the male population is much more than women. I saw the potential of tapping this dormant sector and change the equilibrium. I want not only to be known as the founder of Mr. Dubai but also the one who pioneered in putting men forward into the limelight in this part of the world. Since starts of Mr. Dubai what are the most challenges you have faced? Getting it accepted by the general public. The concept is basically new for them and so, hopefully in due time it becomes the most eagerly awaited men's event in the country Who was the judges of Mr. Dubai 2015? We had different set of judges on each round of the competition but all were headed by Mr. Avi Muller, a respected South African fashion designer and hospitality uniform expert based in Dubai. During the Fashion Show round, we had Ms. Kristle Haynes, owner of 7th Magazine and Ms. Larissa Sergienko , owner of A Modeling Agency. For the Talent Show round, we had Ms. Prachi Mishra, Bollywood actress and former Miss India 2012, Ms. Tatsiana Bokhan, a speciality act artist, Ms. Marketa Halamek, a model and model coach and Mr. Jared Jordaan, a professional dancer. And for the Finale show, we had Ms. Nicole Rodrigues, owner of Diva modeling agency, Mr. Alexandre Montez, owner of E models, Mr. Jahanzeb Mughal, a pop recording artist and Mr. Kevin Olivar, a renowned fashion and events choreographer. What brings out the most excitement for you in event Mr. Dubai? Whenever any of the participants attain fame after the event which is actually the end goal of the event. What are the criteria to apply for MR Dubai? One must be holding a valid UAE residence visa, at least 21 years old and 5'8” tall, fit and good looking. Being founder and organizer of Mr. Dubai any message you want to give to the young talent? Keep on dreaming. It keeps you young.

FUTURE OF TRANSPORT The continued miniaturization of electronics, advances in materials technology, a growing emphasis on clean, sustainable modes of transport and imaginative thinkers with out-of-the-box ideas have converged to give us some truly audacious vehicle designs over the past 12 months. Some are certainly more practical than others, but from personal tricopters to amphibious motorcycles this new breed of personal mobility solutions offers a tantalizing glimpse into how we might be getting from A to B in the future. As we head into a new year with new possibilities, let's take a look at some that could have a role to play in shaping the future of transport. THE WALK CAR ELECTRIC ROLLING PAD Imagine an aluminum pad not much larger than your laptop that can be easily lugged around in your bag, and then when you encounter a stretch of smooth concrete you can whip it out and be zipped along at up to 10 km/h (6.2 mph). Granted that's not a great deal faster than walking speed, but with a built-in battery, small footprint and four tiny wheels, the ultra-portable Walk car from Japan's Cocoa Motors shows what might be achieved with a less-is-more approach. ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD Electric skateboards came thick and fast in 2015. While different manufacturers have focused on different characteristics, be it power, all-terrain ability or range, one of the more important aspects is undeniably weight. A featherlight electric skateboard that weighs no more than an unpowered one might not be possible yet, but the Stary is the closest thing you'll get at the moment. It weighs just 3.9 kg (8.6 lb), goes 16 km (10 mi) on each charge and can hit speeds of 30 km/h (18.6 mph). SMART SCOOTER A two-wheel auto balancing electric scooter, giving a much more stable ride and a faster response, making it safer and easier to control. The turning radius can be zero, which means that it can be operated in a very narrow space, reaching almost every possible place where people can make. You can also stand still on it and even turn 360 degree in a spot. Just step on, you will be able to ride it. Smart 2 wheel Self Balancing Electric Scooter

TRAVEL&TOURISM

LARRY FOGG TRIP TO TAIWAN After parking at Smangus village, we set off to hike the Smangus Big Tree Trail. It began to rain shortly after we started our hike and intermittent rain continued for the duration of the hike. We all hiked through bamboo and deciduous forests, across streams with waterfalls, along mountainside paths with spectacular landscape views, and past some very large trees before reaching the Tayux Raga trail marker. Since it was already late afternoon and I was the slowest hiker, I decided to return to the village and let the others continue on. The rain continued intermittently with heavy rain at times while I returned to the general store at the village to dry out and wait for the others to return. Since Taiwan is on the extreme eastern edge of the time zone for China, sunset occurs very early in the evening. After circling the famous grove of giant Cypress trees, the others returned to the village well after dark. We drove from Smangus to the village of Cinsbu where Sunny had made reservations for all of us to spend the night. Sunny had stayed there on prior occasions and the proprietors cooked a big dinner for us. The hostel was relatively new, and my room was very nice. After breakfast the following morning, we went to the peach orchard owned by the hostel proprietors. The family was busy sorting and packing freshly picked peaches to deliver to their private market customers. The peaches from this region of Taiwan are highly valued and the rejected ones that we ate were delicious. The children showed us around the mountainside orchard, and we bought several boxes of peaches before leaving. We drove back to Hsinchu with a short stopover at the Yu lan Viewpoint for lunch. We also stopped at the Beijiao suspension bridge en route to a tea manufacturing plant where the Oriental Beauty tea is produced. After we sampled some tea, Sunny purchased a couple of packages of tea and we continued on to Hsinchu. We visited the Hsinchu Chenghuang Temple (Chenghuang means City God) during sunset and ate dinner at a restaurant near the temple. After dinner, we visited the Hsinchu Falian temple and then had dessert at a shaved ice desserts establishment. Our last stop at Hsinchu was at the train station where Sunny returned the rental car. We said goodbye to her mom, Alice, and Alex before catching our train back to Taiwan. I took a taxi from the train station back to my hotel to complete another long, action-packed travel day and a wonderful twoday excursion to Hsinchu, Smangus, and Cinsbu. On Tuesday morning, 14 July, I took a taxi from my hotel to go to the National Palace Museum which contains more than 696,000 pieces of ancient Chinese imperial artifacts and artworks. The collection encompasses more than 10.000 years of Chinese history. The collection was originally housed in the Forbidden City at Beijing until it was crated up during the Second Sino-Japanese War with Japan which merged into World War 2. The crates were moved from place to place until they ended up at a Nanjing warehouse. During the Chinese Civil War, after the surrender of Japan, General Chiang Kai-skek ultimately decided to evacuate the crated arts from the Forbidden City to Taiwan. The Communist Army seized control of the Palace Museum collection before all of the crates could be shipped to Taiwan. In the end, a total of 2,972 crates of the Forbidden City artifacts moved to Taiwan, which accounted for approximately 22% of the original crates stored at Nanjing. These artifacts are considered to be some of the very best of the collection.

I spent a total of six hours at the museum, which included an English speaking tour that Sunny had reserved for me in advance. The museum has amazing collections of ancient artifacts that include wonderful jade and bronze exhibits. I arrived at the museum at about 10:30 in the morning to be on site during the lunch hour when the crowds would be smaller. Three of the most important pieces in the museum are the Jadeite Cabbage, the bronze Zong Zhou Zong (Bell of Zhong), and the bronze Mao Gong Ding (C of Duke of Mao). The Palace Museum should not be missed when visiting Taipei. After I returned to my hotel, I called Sunny who gave the hotel front desk directions to give to a taxi to take me to a restaurant to meet her and Joyce for dinner. I took my Taiwan guidebook with me, and Sunny pointed out some places for me to visit the following day.
www.emalmag.com
The morning of 15 July, I took a taxi to the Maokong Gondola (cableway system) where I rode the gondola from the Taipei Zoo Station up to the Maokong Station. The gondola system began operation during 2007 and serves four passenger stations. It also has two angle stations where the gondola changes direction. There are many tea plantations and hiking trails near the Maokong Station. After a short visit at Maokong, I rode back down to the Zhinan Temple Station. There is a very picturesque small temple located at this station, and there is a trail to walk to the Zhinan Temple. After purchasing a cold drink at a small shop, I rode back down to the Taipei Zoo Station where I took a taxi to the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The memorial hall was established in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the Republic of China. The hall has extensive exhibits about the life of Sun Yat-sen and is surrounded by a large park with some very interesting sculptures. My next stop was at the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. This memorial hall was built in memory of Chiang Kaishek, the first president of the Republic of China. The hall has extensive exhibits about the life of Chiang Kai-shek. My last stop was at the National Museum of History which is located within the Taipei Botanical Garden. The museum has grown over the last 50 years to include works donated by more than 400 private collectors, including rope-pattern pottery, Han ceramics, painted dancer and
29
musician figurines from the Six Kingdoms period, Tang-era tri-color glazed ceramics, oracle bones, bronze vessels, porcelain, historic documents, and other precious works. The museum also had a special textile exhibit on display while I was there. After returning to my hotel, I called Sunny who again gave the hotel front desk directions to give to a taxi to take me to meet her for dinner. This time we met up at a noodle shop. After dinner, Sunny took me for a hike up Elephant Mountain to several places overlooking Taipei for gorgeous views of the city after dark. During the hike, we encountered some enormous snails in the pathway. After the Elephant Mountain hike, I returned to my hotel and packed my daypack for a three day excursion to Hualien on the eastern coast of Taiwan the following day. On Thursday morning, 16 July, I met Sunny at the train station to take a regular train to Hualien. The train ride was several hours, and we met up with Alice and Alex at the Hualien train station where Sunny rented a car. We ate lunch at a hot pot restaurant in Hualien and then had dessert at a popular shaved ice dessert shop before checking into a hostel that Sunny had reserved in advance for two nights. Sunny had pre-arranged for our permit to visit Muku Mugi Valley on the Internet, and we drove from Hualien to Muku Mugi Valley after checking into the hostel. We passed a Duck Festival on the way to Muku Mugi. When we reached the police checkpoint, we were given our permit but were not allowed to drive any further and were told that we needed to be back before 6:00 PM. We hiked as far as we could go before having to turn back to exit by the 6:00 PM deadline. The river gorge was beautiful, and the hike was refreshing. Before returning to Hualien, we visited Qixingtan Beach at sundown. The beach was rocky and there were many people fishing in the surf. We continued on to the Zigiang Night Market where we purchased food to take back to the hostel for dinner. We also stopped at a local bakery to purchase some food to have for breakfast in the morning. On Friday morning, we got an early start and drove to Taroko National Park. We decided that Alice and Alex would hike the Jhuilu Old Road Trail and Sunny and I would hike the Eternal Spring Trail. We would meet up later at the Swallow Grotto Trail. We drove along the spectacular Liwu River Gorge to the trailhead for the Jhuilu Old Road where we dropped off Alice and Alex. Sunny and I went back along the gorge to the trailhead for the Eternal Spring Trail (also referred to as the Changchun Temple Trail). We found a parking place near a small restaurant/gift shop and began
EMAL MaGazine
www.emalmag.com
hiking toward the temple where the eternal spring gushes from the mountain down to the river. We then began climbing the mountain cliff-side trail toward the Changchun Temple. The scenery was spectacular and the rock cut trail was often narrow. We hiked to the Bell Tower high above the Changchun Temple and then returned to a small restaurant beside the river where we ate lunch. We then drove to the trailhead for the Swallow Grotto Trail and hiked along the trail admiring the Liwu River Gorge far below. The scenery from the Swallow Grotto Trail was beyond spectacular. After we hiked the Swallow Grotto Trail, Sunny and I went farther along the river to a campsite area with an observation deck not far from a suspension foot-bridge over the river. Although the bridge had a sign limiting the number of people on the bridge to eight people, many of the visitors paid no attention to the limitation. The trail at the opposite end of the bridge was closed when we were there. When Alice called Sunny to tell her that they had completed their Jhuilu Old Road hike, we drove back to pick them up, exited the park, and went to dinner at the Yan-Liao Seafood restaurant. In the meantime, Sunny also learned that the HaHo Yang 2015 Festival was scheduled to begin that evening. After our wonderful seafood dinner, we went to the festival. It was a dance festival for all of the aboriginal tribes and was held in a stadium. There were many dance performances that culminated with nearly all the tribes joining into a group dance. At this point, Sunny and Alice took me down with them to join in with the local people celebrating. After leaving the festival, we returned to the hostel. On Saturday morning, 18 July, we drove along the east coast of Taiwan to the Baqi Observation Platform that is situated halfway between Jiqi Beach and Niushan Beach to admire the view of the Pacific Ocean coastline. On the way back to Hualien, we stopped at Niushan Beach and made several roadside stops for photos. We returned to the Hualien hot pot restaurant for lunch before returning the rental car. Sunny and I said goodbye to Alice and Alex at the Hualien train station before returning to Taipei. I met up with Sunny and Jessie for
dinner at a very nice restaurant in a Taipei mall. Sunny met me at my hotel on Sunday morning, 19 July, for my last day of Taiwan sightseeing. We took the Metro to Beitou which is famous for hot spring spas. We visited the Ketagalan Culture Center which had wonderful displays of Taiwan aboriginal culture, including art and native dress. We walked from the cultural center through Bietou Hot Spring Park to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum which is located in a Japanese occupation era building formerly used as a Japanese officer's club during World War 2. It is designated as a Taipei historic site. We continued walking through the park to visit Thermal Valley which is one of the sources supplying the area's hot springs. After visiting Beitou, we took a taxi to Tamsui to visit some of the old colonial buildings in Taiwan. Our first stop was a hike up a tall hill to the old former British Consulate building museum located adjacent to Fort Santo Domingo. After visiting the consulate building museum, we walked to the Aletheia University, which was originally founded as Oxford College in 1882, and continued on to visit the Little White House which once was Tamsui's Custom Inspector General's residence in the Qing Dynasty. There are impressive views of the Tamsui River to the Guanyin Mountain. We walked in light rain from the Little White House down the hill to the Tamsui Church which was established by Reverend Mackay who arrived in Taiwan in 1872. We continued walking to the Tamsiui metro station where we took the metro to a stop near my hotel and had one last dinner at a small noodle shop. After dinner, we walked to my hotel where I said goodbye to Sunny and thanked her profusely for sharing my visit with her family and friends and making my trip to Taiwan very extra-special indeed. I flew home from Taiwan on Monday, 20 July, and pondered just how lucky I was to have Sunny as a good friend who went out of her way to show me some of Taiwan. We will continue to keep in touch and will try to meet up somewhere in the world hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

WAYS G
etting older is inevitable, but you don't have to look your age. Whether a natural approach or a more, medical type solution, here are 10 ways for you to look younger.
&YOU LOOK
YEARS YOUNGER
GO BEYOND THE FACE Exfoliate and moisturize for an instantly younger look‌on your hands. Your hands can give away your age so don't forget to pamper them too. Plus, don't forget your neck and dÊcolletage for the same reasons!
2
BE FLEXIBLE Get into a regular routine of yoga or barre classes. Not only will you tone and tighten, but it will lengthen your muscles and give you a leaner and peppy appearance.
3 &4
FILL IN THE LINES & FINE LINES Ask your dermatologist about Botox or laugh line fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. They last for a few months.
Consider a "smile lift" otherwise known as porcelain veneers. Not only can this magic transformation correct chips, cracks and imperfections and brighten teeth, they can also help plump out some of the fine lines of the upper lip. Smile Simplicity is a new generation pain-free porcelain veneer that does not require any drilling away of sensitive tooth structure and thus no anesthesia. Check with your dentist for options.

STAND UP STRAIGHT
Your mother always told you to, and now you wish you had listened. Poor posture can be a result of weak core muscles, so try adding a few planks into your daily exercise regimen. Start at 15 seconds and gradually add to your time. Also think about red balloons. Dr. Weiss from Performance Health Center in Natick MA provides the image of a balloon tied at the end of your chin, at your collar bone and your breast bone. Imagine those balloons lifting those areas and you posture will shift subtlety and improve your posture.
RE-DO YOUR DO
6
Perfect, symmetrical curls and waves and tight updos read 'granny'. Go for a softer, messier look in a hairstyle. As for color, nothing ages faster than a single solid hue. Whether platinum blonde or raven black, add dimension with highlights or lowlights, especially around the face to make skin glow.
7
OUT THE BROWN SPOTS
When you don't have time to wait for a skin brightening cream (which works gradually after consistent use) to do its job, consider a laster treatment to remove skin discolorations. Hint: you can have them on your hands too.
8
RICH IN CALCIUM
Drink calcium-rich goat’s milk to help repair tissue and replace dead-skin cells.
INSTANT REFRESHER
9
Consider a light peel to even out skin tone and smooth out fine lines
10
FRAME YOUR FACE
Thinning brows are a sure sign of age, so don't forget to fill them in with a soft pencil. It gives an instant change to your face focus!
