~~Dubai epicenter of growth~~

Fondly called as city of gold ,growth Dubai has achieved during the past the twenty years is really amazing. What is more surprising is the fact oil exports which contributed most of its GDP during late 80's ,today is just accounted for 6 % of its GDP. Most of the money comes from real estates, tourism and other business establishment who found this a better place to do business. Another fact I came across Dubai account for more number of tourists than the number of people visit India every year.
Ten years before when any of my friends or relatives travelled to US they would choose their pit stop either London or Frankfurt but now days I see lot of people choosing Dubai as their stopover.No complains when u can spend wonderful in airport which has a city inside.
All credit goes to intelligent Shiekh who realised that his country cant sustain just depending on oil alone, there by wisely divertingthe profits got from oil to turn this desert into a modern world marvel.

Running out of topics

Weekdays are pretty uneventful and when I try to sit down to blog and think what to write nothing comes to my mind, its the same old routine work I do in office which fills the mind ,if at all there are some extraordinary incidents which happens once or twice in a month at workplace. So I thought why not I take some bizarre topics and write my opinion but my heart says I m lazy enough to take up a task like that. So apart from pasting few forwards I m planning to scrible something on my own. Being a software engineer hope I dont end up copying pasting opinion also.

~~shopping with Ladies~~

Today I went for shopping with my cousin and grandma,reason for shopping is to get dress for my aunt. I thought since these ladies are going to select the dress for a third person they will finish the job soon.
But as soon as my cousin entered the shop she forgot the main intention of coming there,she was looking like a hungry tiger looking for the right prey looking around the shop for a right dress of her choice.This went on for more almost two hours still she wasnt satisfied with the right fit. I realised this is an never ending process so I took few stuffs for my aunt and signaled her it was time to leave. She said she didnt like any of the stuffs,while leaving out the blue she found a piece of cloth and said she needs that ,it took another 15 mins for her to try that out and get it finally.
Oh man even a snail can cross the road in the given time these people choose their dresses, tests your patience a lot but no other go we need to get used to it!

Book I read..

Last week I went to landmark my usual hangout spot whenever I get bored, this time I was looking for books which were written with some amount of humour at the same time gives some useful info. I got four books titles given below.
a)Welcome to advertising now get lost
b)Project management-A comedy of errors (planning to give to my PL ;))
c)Rigged
d)The Mahatma and the Monkeys

Over this week I completed reading the book about advertising ,it was written by a young chap named Omkar Sane. What I liked was his style of writing Sarcastic and cruel to the core such that he ensures that he never gets ajob in Ad world again.

Book takes us through a normal process which happens in the ad world but how things get messed up in each and every stage and also how the designated people prove their authority over each other. There are places where you feel pity for the people working in the ad world. Its pretty difficult task to write a book with filled with humour from beginning to end,mocking each and every process,clients,managers,artist etc,I never felt bored at any stage.It really needs some guts to write a book like this .

I recommend this to people who really want to have some good laugh.

PS: Krishna if you by any chance read this Blogpost do get this book!!!

Eclipse time again!

Today morning I was eagerly waiting to see the sun getting overshadowed by the moon but unfortunately weather was cloudy that i could neither see the sun nor the moon's shadow over it.

I started to office as usual but my bus didnt arrive on time , realised the driver bunked for the day because of the eclipse.When I reached the office it was nearly empty most of the people were missing. Seems they were caught in the traditional belief to come out of the house only after the eclipse got over. Surprising to know even in 21st century people still have this belief or they might taken this as a chance to come late to office.Who knows there is no way to prove these stuffs.

I remembered my good old days when my dad took me out on an eclipse day ,he took a mirror covered it with a white paper and made a small pointed hole in it.Then he slided the mirror pointing to sun in such a way that the reflection fall on the wall.I was thrilled to see the sun Shadow looking like moon's.I kept on staring at the wall until the whole eclipse got over.

Nature shows it beauty in different ways and eclipse is one of them!
