Weekend (recession hues)




"Is your job safe?" is the standard opening line among folks in Dubai now a days......and promptly a discussion ensues - ranging from world economies demand supply speculations to what crop to cultivate once back in India without a job....!

talking about crops we have hilarious discussions about crop rotation - creative farming ideas include marijuana to ...........(well i shouldn't be writing everything)

Okay so this weekend as a part of enhancing career skills me n my friend chose to meet in office to have some studies for professional development - sigh.... recession does magic to guys like us who on a normal Friday would stake anything to get another hour of deeeep sleep...

and now to drive around uncharted roads of Dubai - Being a relatively new driver in UAE, I`m fed up by comments of how dependant i`m on others for not knowing the alleys of Dubai - so has made a deal with myself that i would set off for adventures every weekend alone to get familiar with the unfamiliar roads - between this is really fun - last weekend i saw a particular round-about 5 times within 20 minutes - need to check up google maps for what is wrong with that place..
