Pristine health update »

After sleepless nights of gruesome stomach pain, my daughter is back on her feet again. Happy would be an understatement to describe how I feel about it. The little girl has fought a battle with the worst stomach bug in her life, ever and has come out of it, although with a really obvious weight [...]

the not so (im)perfect desert »

I know this is a little early but after a month, here’s how I feel of the third country I am into:
I love…

the feel of the sun shining everyday..cloudy skies are rare!
the starlit skies at night
great weather (from November to April, so they say)
that I am not gaining any weight as I am wearing light [...]

sad valentine »

February fourteen, deemed to be the most romantic day of the year. So overrated. Across the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine, the saint shrouded with lots of mystery. Nuff said.
But on this day of romance, being ‘romantic’ is the farthest thing from my mind. [...]

sick »

I am sick, not feeling well, having terrible cough that turned into a more terrying ashtma. I may not look paper thin and definitely not size zero but I have a very frail health. Major disappointment.
I went to the hospital yesterday and was being scolded by the doctor: “What took you so long to come [...]

mommy woes »

I went out 2 hours early last Thursday with nothing in mind but to visit the nursery school my daughter had been attending since 2 weeks ago. There are no prior plans. I just felt I need to go there.
Truth is, Pristine had been crying everyday every time we part ways, every morning. I know [...]

thousands of words »

A picture says a thousand words. View millions of those words in :TRUE DUBAI.
The site promises bare-all photos of this city, and it is not just about tourism. Go check it sometime.

blessing or crisis »

A little bit of rain and the whole city is damned. Contrary to popular belief, it does rain here in Dubai and when it does, even the most expensive house have been known to leak dramatically. 
We woke up today with the sound of the rain. Today morning, the whole of UAE seemed to be completely immobilized due [...]

gracie fully loaded »

Before I could remember the last time I complained about not doing anything at work and just daydreaming or blogging, I am swamped with loads work, suddenly and surprisingly.
Since we have strong ties with the Japan market, most of our correspondents are naturally, Japanese who, until recently have burned their midnight candles on writing documents [...]

caffeine overdose »

Coffee and I are not the best of friends. Tea? That depends because most teas have caffeine content in them, quite like coffee.
Being in the company with 99% Indian population, I get some additional dash to my regular break. I don’t have a coffee break but instead have Indian tea break. The regular officeboy we [...]

back to the blue »

After the nasty weather accompanying some sand storm and a little rain (just enough to panic motorists), Dubai is back to blue and sunny skies today. Perfect weather really. Now I could appreciate it more after I bought my sunglasses, finally!
Food is very affordable here, we only pay half as what we would pay in [...]
