'World's luckiest man': Dubai air crash survivor wins one million dollars on lottery six days later

telegraph.co.uk

A survivor of the Dubai plane crash has been called the "world's luckiest man" after he won $1 million on a lottery six days later.

Mohammad Basheer Abdul Khada was a passenger when the Emirates  aeroplane crashed and burst into flames on the runway of Dubai’s airport last Wednesday. 

The 62-year-old grandfather walked away unscathed from the crash landing with the 300 other people on board, moments before the plane exploded in a fireball.

Mr Khada, from India, then had another stroke of luck when his winning  lottery ticket turned him into a millionaire.

Mr Khadar, who works in a Dubai car dealership, bought the ticket in the airport on his way to Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala.

On his return trip, he was seated on the plane which crash landed and caught fire.

He collected his prize on Tuesday, which came just four months before he was due to retire.

He told Gulf News: "I have been working in Dubai for 37 years, and I have always felt like this is my country.

"I live a simple life, and now that it’s my time to retire, I feel like God gave me a second life when I survived the plane crash, and blessed me with this money to follow all this up by doing good things".

Mr Khadar plans to move back to India and try to find a job where he can help people in need.

He said: "I am blessed to have finally won with Dubai Duty Free and can’t wait to share the news with my family.

"If you ask me about my plans, I obviously want to help the children in Kerala who are less fortunate than others and need some financial help and medical support

“I don’t want to give it to a charity or build a business, I want to go out and find people who really need help and give them money. I was poor, and I know what people go through".

How to Plan a Chinese New Year Party     tripsavvy

Putting together a Chinese New Year party is fun, cultural, and unique. Consider it a great excuse to get friends together in January or February for something educational and enjoyable!

Nearly everyone has heard of Chinese New Year, more correctly termed as the Lunar New Year. The holiday is the most widely celebrated in the world, but not many Westerners are sure of how to go about planning a party.

What to Wear for Chinese New Year

Buying a new outfit or wearing one that hasn’t been previously worn is the usual custom for Chinese New Year.

Avoid wearing black or white clothing on Chinese New Year; both are colors traditionally worn for mourning in Chinese culture. Gray, ashen, and charcoal colors also fall into this category. Instead, opt for red, gold, or vibrant colors when possible.

If you don't have a suitable outfit, you can still give a nod to tradition by wearing a red accessory; red scarves are a popular choice.

Wearing red has nothing to do with China’s current political inclinations. The custom dates back for centuries. Mythology maintains Nian, the beast that comes out on Chinese New Year to attack people, is afraid of the color red and loud noises — that’s why firecrackers are thrown and symbols are crashed during celebrations. Another theory suggests red is an auspicious color because the word for red (hóng) sounds similar to one of the words used for prosperous.

Any cutting done during Chinese New Year is viewed as unlucky. You should trim your nails, shave, and get a haircut before the holiday if necessary.

If you really want to follow superstition, washing your hair on the Lunar New Year is considered risky as you could wash away new good luck that is accumulating.

Exchanging Chinese New Year Gifts

Guests may not be in too big of a hurry to buy and exchange gifts again in the wake of Christmas, although etiquette dictates that they bring something small to the party.

You can reciprocate with witty door gifts or personalized items for each friend. Gifts can be small trinkets, red envelopes with small amounts of money or gift cards inside (hong bao), candies, or even healthy snacks.

Although doing so requires more effort, each gift should be catered to a specific guest and represent some wish you have for their health or prosperity in the new lunar year. For this reason, thoughtfulness is more important than the monetary value of the gift. A quick, inexpensive way to customize gifts is to print favorite photos of the two of you.

Chinese New Year gift ideas are usually simple but thoughtful:

    Medicinal tea to help your friend through flu season

    A small piggy bank already primed with a few coins

    Candles with their favorite scent or aromatherapy benefits

    A small bottle of essential oil

    Lip gloss to protect their lips in winter

    Fruit (mandarin oranges are best / pears are worst)
