I just stepped into new phase of life in UAE, just thought of sharing my views about Dubai. A decade ago, I have been to UAE, twice I guess. Things have changed by leaps and bounds. Every single thing is automated. Want to cross the road? Press a button and wait. Want to go by bus? Press the button and wait for the door to open. ‘Nol’ cards makes life so hassle free. Whether you want to use the Metro, bus or even park your car, all you need to do is swipe/tag your ‘Nol’ card. No conductors or issuance of tickets unless you really want to do so. The ‘Dubai Metro’ is the lifeline of the city. It is so convenient, well-connected, fast and easy to use the metro. There are two lines- the green and red lines, and people can interchange between lines in two stops.
In every corner you will spot a super market filled with Laban, milk, juices, chocolates, vegetables, fruits and what not? Different kinds of offers flood the festive season in the supermarkets. Just like India, there is this small shop in Bur Dubai, which sells samosas, mirchi bhajjis and alu bondas! It tastes so yum.. And of course the falafils, need no mention. Restaurants and hotels are plenty in here.
Life is moving in such a fast pace here. In the brink of an eye, it’s my third week in this city.
Malyalam can be a big savior… if you do know the language you are kept in high spirits I would say! With my Malayalam, I can even get a guy working in a store to come right till the door to guide me an address..
