Been here in Dubai a little over a week now. If progress were a place on earth, it would be in Dubai. I somehow still find it hard to believe the breakneck pace at which Dubai has been flourishing. Whats more astonishing is that, the pace has been maintained for more than a decade and there seems to be no signs of slowing down.


While the city has been moving ahead furiously, I've been chilling here for the past week ( the weather is kinda cold here). Been stuffing myself with food and more food (havent gained a kilo yet though :( ),teaching my sister algebra and exploring Dubai.

Been reading The Penguin History of the World by JM Roberts. Bought this book last week at Abu Dhabi Duty Free while on transit. This book elaborates upon world history from the ancient civilisations until 9/11 and upto present day and serves to satisfy my longstanding to read and own a book which details the entire world history. Hope to finish this book over a long period of time.
