Dubai vs Mumbai .. Mumbai anyday !


A hostel in the middle of nowhere, Dirhams are actually called rupiyah here .. though they burn a hole in your pocket, 6 people in a room .. Calcutta Chummery days back again !!

The heat is killing. The driest heat that I have ever felt. Worse than that is the misplaced notion of a few kind individuals in the Villa's (that's what the hostel is .. work in progress) that if it aint chilling it aint a luxury !! Three nights and my system is upside down .. you get up in the morning and your nose, ears , mouth and your ar** is dry .. frigging dehydrating !! Inside you would die from the chill outside from the heat ! Welcome to Dubai !

The old boys network helps, got my titanium thinkpad, had home cooked food .. plus a couple of beers, sightseeing and cute little girl "pinni" .. and with her teddy bearish father .. Saurabh .. its good to have friends !! .. thank you god .. I am truly blessed.

Snow in Dubai .. imagine a ski run almost 500 mtrs in length inside off a mall !! Raw opulence .. naked gut wrenching opulence !!!
