Hey folks...it's been a while....was in India for nearly 2 months...and i know i spoke of the trip with quite a bit of trepidation..but it was simply amazing...this miserable little patch of sand, for all its "glorious acheivements", can't hold a candle to our Bharath...
You know yer in India the moment you land, that stink of urine pervades the air (this is a smell that i will would become inured to within the next one and a half months).I was greeted there by smiling relatives who treated me like a prince, I was from DUBAI, after all... I didn't go clubbing, drink or smoke up, none of the usual stuff...just plain old innocent fun, go-karting with cousins, table tennis with a crazy uncle and a rather ill-fated hunting trip to Ooty. India's changed...fewer cows in the city, fewer beggars, but more garbage...Why is it that we strive to keep Dubai clean but unceremoniously take a leak wherever we feel like it in India? Stricter laws? A lack of democracy? But I digress from the topic, more on this later.
I've always loved Dubai, having lived here for all but 3 months of my life, but this is the first time I've actually come to see what a superficial place this is. No one really cares about the person next to him. That sense of camaraderie is one of the many things that i miss about that place.
Allright..Imna stop before this post becomes too whiny. Oh, by the way, jerry was in India too...stay tuned for his rant on how horrible it was.
Pandi out.

Ah!! wudn't i wanna go back to a pee smelling place where every1 cared for each other ! :-D
I love your post zaheen =D and I totaly agree with you.
UAE can't even offer a quarter of the warmth India has. I would rather smell d piss (which btw is only at a few selected places...not the entire country!!!!!) than live with people who don't give two fucks for their "friends" or trying to cope up with pseudo intellectuals or the bitchiness =)
Agreed! This country is purely superficial.
wow and yet all of u study here...i mean educations cheaper in india..why not go there??? im not fond of the sand either...but do not compare...its given ur parents the oppurtunity to show yall a lifestyle thats unimaginable if ur in the same designation(lesser pay bracket) in india...i love my country to bits...and i hate the fact that we r like second class citizens here...but if ur not fighting the system dont write about it like u mean something...wistful thinking is fer rich eccentric men and the guy who cleans your washrooms...go back to india and compete with the millions of grads who cant make ends meet...or stay here and send that money back as quietly as possible...
