Who said Dubai is all about desert safari, Wild wadi and Ski Dubai!
Well although not really much but this recently discovered cafe at Times Square, Dubai,”the chill-out cafe” is made up of all ice and even the drinks are served in glasses made up of ice!
So I just thought of letting people know there’s one more place to chill in Dubai and how ever I haven’t been there but will do one day soon, let my pocket be full :p
I have known people taking up the heat on self-offense, I have seen people protesting like crazy for the political situation in teh country, wasting time in rallies, talking up on talk shows…
This is definitely not how they feel about it, they think they are doing great! but this is how I feel! I feel its all to be in the picture. You know what I mean, be known.. And trust me popularity is like money. No matter how much you say, “Oh, I dont need to be popular, I’m already known”. I would say “get lost , dude” 
So my point here is not to criticize all that’s going on, we all are free to chose what to do (and free to criticize others, like I’m doing right now:P) I have recently started thinking in a new dimension (for me, yes new). The other day we were leaving for somewhere and I switched on TV. It was Dr.Zakir Naik’s show coming. And I need not to say he’s the man!!!
That day onwards, Im thinking that we really need to educate the world and ourself about the misconceptions about Islam. we really need too. I think its far more important than the CJ rallies. Who gets justice in Pakistan! We all know. There was this lecture on why Muslims are portrayed as terrorists, and I so want to write on it.. just gathering my tools. We have to start an online mission to enlighten others what ugly game media is playing against Muslims.
May be it’s just a bubble, may be Im watching too much Peace TV these days.
What ever, I think it’s giving me something which is far better than watching a bunch of stupid people gathered for the sake of nothing and shouting!
What’s the most unfavorable factor to live in Dubai??
The climate. It’s hot (and I mean hot!) and humid …. I wonder how these Europeans lay down half (Read it more than half) naked, baking themself in the sun! I cannot even walk for few minutes! Dizziness, sweat, dehydration and dripping clothes is all it takes to walk from the mall entrance to the car parking and it’s hardly a five minutes walk!
I think it’s high time. The country has money and can bring in all resources to build an artifical airconditioned atmposphere around the city. Is it possible??
My last few visits to hospitals in Dubai has given me another reason to hate hospitals!
First it was a clinic that I was going to, a private one and costs me hell. But since the doctor was really good, I didn’t want to take a risk by going to some other place. Then I realised it cost me too much including the taxi fare that I had to pay to reach to the place. And a couple of blood tests and straight thousand Dhs! Not to mention the wait.
So I located a hospital, this time near my place, thinking it would save me the cost of taxi and then somebody mentioned hospitals were cheaper. But it took me almost 4 hours yesterday! And yes the bill was around 1500 Dhs!!!!!
There was a wait for blood test, a wait to see the doctor and then again a wait to show my blood test’s report to the doc! By the time I got out of hospital, I was dead. Is there any good hospital? with less wait and less fees?
One thing that I found good was cleanliness. But I hate so much crowd in a hospital! You go, wait at the reception, get your appointment (if taken any) printed out, (although u have an appointmnet, it doesnt make you luckier in seeing the doctor on time), wait to see the doctor (might take 2 hours from the time of appointment, so schedule properly) and then again wait in the pharmacy que holding the token number in your hand!
Also, I have noticed most of the doctors I have seen in hospitals here are Indians and somehow I have seen people preferring to consult them. Irony with me is that the doctor doesn’t find anything wrong:S All tests are normal, all’s fine. May be I’m sick only in head:P
I never realised Dubai was full of sick people:P
I’m glad, I worked on it and my blog is finally online. So all the ones who have been here with me for a long time, the ones who comment and the ones in the back end, if you are interested please drop me an email and I shall send the link to you.
As for this blog, it will remian here and I will keep writing on this one too.
Life I believe should be taken very casually.
Unfortunately no matter how much I try to act on my belief, at times I wake up in the middle of the night with some worry accumulating my mind so completely that I feel it has gone under a spell and start looking in despair for some solution. Since I am unable to find a cure for this mental ailment I come online and write some crap:P
Life isn’t that hard to live, you just have to be a little less sensitive. I wish it was as easy as asking God for the chocolate cake that He so kindly gave me!
Somebody understands what I’m talking about? If you dont. no worries, I neither
‘You know in life yeah, shit happens’ - Rana
So it happened in my life:P and I need to not let it happen again!
So shit, you dare not peek in my life again 
Dear God, can you please send me somewhere I can get a yummy, rich chocolate cake, the type I like??
Please, I need some and you know it.
Loads of love,
Me.
My last post was about one of the lessons that this life taught me.
I have thought about making it a regular series n my blog where I will write about what life has taught me. I was looking back at life, thinking what has been gained, what has been lost and I noticed even incidents that left me bruised weren’t that bad! I learned a lot from them. And although there were times in my life when I felt totally lost, now when I look back those times dont really hurt! In fact I feel thankful to Allah to let me go through them. I now know that what might let others go through in similar situations. And for all those times I m so thankful to my friends who stood by me and ever made me feel bad! For all the love and support that was rendered and the acceptance that came along with never a sarcastic word!
So here, I go disclosing what I have learnt during some years of my life. And to tell you the sensitive kid Im, I started learning very early! For all those who are in tough times, Im sure this will help you out a lot. Tough times don’t last forever, but tough people do.
Hold on to people not things.
They will hold on to you longer than your stuff will.
