Yalla Dubai!

All the articles the media prints; showcases Dubai as some terrorist haven. A place where the cream of the terrorist training camps sit together and plan out annihilation strategies in their attempt of globalization.

I suspect each and every writer who portrays this image of Dubai; has not spent more than a day there. True, Dubai is home for many fugitives, but you have to respect the government cause they are not harboring terrorists; they’re encouraging privatization and competition(the building blocks of any growing economy). Their policies which invite businessmen to do what they do best is why most-wanted elsewhere becomes most sought-after in Dubai.

You have to admit; these fugitives are highly motivated, have surplus capital and are ofcourse, like all of us would like to earn a decent return. And just like most of us they also diversify their portfolio. Invest in some riskless assets and some more risky assets. So on one end they finance terrorism in some parts of the world and in other they invest in companies which sells electronics(at a retail level) imported at a tax-less cost from Singapore and Korea.

So why should the UAE government care about what these fugitives have been upto elsewhere in the world. Bottom line is, they don’t break the law in Dubai and they are contributing to the economy in a big way; Many of them run some of the fancies hotels in Dubai.


Here are 2 pics of Dubai taken 13 years apart.

Ok-Lah!

I'm back!
I'm also torn; I want to make a claim that I shall blog more regularly now, but its that Jinx thing, you know?

I just had to dedicate one post to Singapore and more importantly, the one source of entertainment for me and the rest of NTU.



Vikas 'Baniya' Aggarwal.

After tormenting his juniors(enacting porno sequences for their viewing pleasure)and scaring his batchmates(indecent exposure)@ IITB he decided to go global. Singapore, here I come-lah!

After being warned by Tan-Chong tower management regarding my 'routine' presence at Girish's apartment, I had to choose between living alone but close to work or living far but with good company. I went with the latter, a choice well-paid off. Nothing like putting together 3 IITB hostel buddies together; the image of Indians falls even further in chinki eyes.



Many of us would know that when it comes to maaroing sutta, not everyone goes out and buys them , but rather borrows them. That happens here in India, where a pack costs about 30-40 bucks; Imagine the levels to which this concept of borrowing would fall to in Singapore where one pack costs 11$(300 bucks!) Baniya(the harami that he is) systematically planned his profit from a friends misery; while constantly reminding this 'friend' (name withheld for obvious reasons) of how he had been cheated by another friend, how unjust the world is etc, etc..precisely at the moment when he was going through a most sensitive matter of the heart. The poor fellow would get drawn in everytime...financing late night cab trips (1.5 time fare + 3$ calling charge) to the 24-hour 7-11 store spend 11$ on sutta , cab back. just so that Baniya(harami) could maaro sutta. :D



he stole that poster from a movie theatre. In singapore Vandalism has the penalty of lashing.

Bottom line, After 5 hours of sleep, 4 hours of commuting, 10 hours of work nothing beats coming home to Baniya. Thanks for the good times dude.
