Was desperate for a holiday, more from the place than work!! Destination Dubai it was.
The plan was to stay at home with my folks as i hadn't done so for a very long time. My leaves were planned well in advance and I had two good weeks of vacation. My mom had insisted that I visit them in Dubai rather than in India, for her own good reasons.
This was a place where I had spent 10 years of my childhood. UAE was then itself a rapidly growing country with evident development all around. Since i left, the place has grown to riches!! Though capitalism flows through the dictators of the Arab world, the intention of projecting Dubai as a spot icon on the global map seems indeed a success story.
Currently, the major attractions I wouldn't want to miss mentioning are the Dubai Metro, Hot-Property-real-estates, tall-taller-tallest buildings, extravagant-6-laner-roads!!
However, that is no reason what i went there for! Intentions clear, I wanted to spend time with my Mom and Dad! The love and food my Mom fed me on and the warmth I fleeced on my Dad was simply priceless!
I was on a holiday, putting my feet up. My usual holiday-day started at late morning 11, with a dozen of idlis or dosas - I totally love iddlies and dosas;relish them wholy - laze around till lunch time watching crappy movies. Hog a glorious lunch when dad arrived from work and then doze of to deadly siestas!! This part of the day was generally in trance, I used to be intoxicated just with food, and each moment I glorified very much!
Evenings were generally times where we'd roam around, meet up with old folks, catch up for parties, go back into memorablia and rejoice times spent...
Well, for having said all that, this holiday was really joyful, and thats not all, my mom even packed food sufficient for 10 days for a full-appetite-glutton(that covered most of my check-in luggage)...
