Back to the City of Future

Had a good 15-days break in my motherland India and now back to business here, in the City of the Future - Dubai! Its good to be back here but feel bad to leave the family and friends over there, in India. I miss them a lot and given my personal family condition, sometimes I think enuf of this 'foreign'/'onsite' and better settle down in our cool hometown!

Even our favourite US president Mr. Bush is also here for this festival!! He too is taking part along with HH and other delegates, all and all in Dubai, UAE.

The real reason (if you have thought that the real reason is the above, hmmm..sorry!)..The real reason is due to the Mr. Bush visit to this amazing city, city of the future, Dubai! Due to his visit, all roads and tunnels are closed for public and nobody should travel out! Wat do you say for this?? Even Bangalore has lot of VIP visits including many PMs and Presidents but wish we could also get holiday like this! :-) Consider this as heights as stupidity, ridiculous stuff or something else, anyw...
