Dubai 001

I wonder what is it about Dubai that we all love to hate and hate to love... despite having great potential to become a true melting pot of all intellect, cultures, and ideologues, Dubai has strangely and doggedly retained tactility of an alien and a close-mouth society. Here, we are rootless individuals fending for ourselves and everybody else is a competitor. It’s a dog eat dog world here!

This land, it seems, is caught in the twilight zone… between desire to rapidly modernise itself in order to compete with the affluent western nations and yet some how retain its cultural past and once dearly held traditions!
