Observations

I found this really odd... the weekend edition of Gulf News led with "a deadly plant that could sniff out its prey" With all due respect to the plant, what in heaven's name were the editors thinking? Are the people living in Dubai too faint-hearted to not read anything more hard-hitting than that? What's more, the second lead on their front page was about "Women to crash diet to size zero"... Guess during weekends all bad news is taboo!


This is by far the biggest problem the emirate is facing right now... talk about soaring real estate... there are about 90,000 flats supposedly ready to be rented out as of now... only they don't have electricity to supply to them. So the govt is setting up power plants to do so. Real estate prices are at an all-time high and more and more poor souls are unable to rent out a place in this city thanks to the increase in rent almost every two weeks... While people talk about sealing and caps, there seems to be nothing expats can do. All laws, rent or otherwise, seem 2 be in favour of locals. So while the sheikhs fill up their coffers, the Indians, Pakistanis and the ilk are packing up their belongings and goin back to where they came from. It simply isn't worth working here anymore, when you can't send enough for the families back home... If you want to know more read this


There wasn't anythin funny abt this one but hate smoking so jus wanted to reinforce that to certain people in particular... (those who I'm referring to will know what I mean!)


This is what I read in the back of a loo's door at the mall... Funny thing to read when u are sitting on the pot I must say...
