The moon and the star from Down Under...


On vacation in Australia, International News Service sub-editor Shanty Devi Ayadurai sent a WhatsApp message to office colleagues this afternoon wishing them a blessed new Islamic year.
Along with it, she shared photos of the “beautiful sight of the moon and star” with the hope that they would enjoy them.
The photos were taken in Ipswich, a small town in Brisbane, where Shanty is on holiday with her two sisters.
”My Muslim friend sent me Awal Muharram wishes....our friendship goes beyond race religion.
“I caught sight of the skies last night so I snapped it on camera and sent it to her and decided to send it to all of you too..
“The feelings are beyond description...all I can say is the Creator is so kind to human beings...
“Nature is a gift to us humans whatever our beliefs,” she said.
Shanti said the holiday has been “very relaxing”
“....skies are blue...Aussies are friendly and the strawberries are great (and cheap),” she said.
“The people I met so far were very helpful with directions info about places etc,” she said.
Shanty said she was fortunate that they managed to obtain their visa rather fast after applying it online.
“We got it 10 mintutes before they closed the counter...phew!” she said.
