This Day, Last Year - In The 'City Of Future'

This day, 10-Dec-2008 but last year 10-Dec-2007, I got a break from my routine Bengaluru home-office-home...The break was to travel to the 'City of the Future' - Dubai, UAE! This was for a new project and I was pretty exited about the whole forthcoming days...But yeah, on the personal front, not so exited as I had to leave my family behind, along with my wife...And it was painful for both of us! :-( {Tip: A separation pain brings in more love and care towards each other :-)} Wow, beautiful! is the first expression that I had on Dubai, right from inside the flight! I was travelling in the evening flight where I was landing in Dubai @ 2100hrs. It was a marvellous sight to see - so much lightings and a dazzling beauty!! Dubai Internation Airport is pretty huge and very systematic and clean...By the time I came out of the Airport, it was around 2300hrs and at that time, there was so much traffic in the city that at one time, we were struck in a traffic jam!! I was not aware of this city life and this took me by surprise!:-) The roads are so nice, so neatly maintained and the last thing you will think is that 'Am I really in the middle of a Desert??'...Just fly to Dubai and you will be amazed! Coming back to the present, I am getting nostalgic about this day, remembering the previous year that went by...pretty fast! Miss you Dubai...Wish I can go back to this great city and enjoy a quallity life! :-)
