my take at Dubai!!

well, it's a strange place and if i try and put it in the language of consumer behaviour, the key consumer insight is people are anything but rational. they do not operate from logic and they do not even operate from emotion. what the hell do they operate from? i wonder.

i have been here for over 20 days now and i tell you what. I find it very hard to fathom whats going on. Imagine marriages being a regular affair and pornography a cultural issue!! i mean what!!! well i have also heard the this is the most liberal emirate in the UAE, which is good.

The good thing is that the city is pretty hip and cosmopolitan and you get to see a lot of people from many nationalities around the world. Europeans on sheikhzaeed road, in malls, people with black, white, wheatish all sorts of skin. I like multiculturalism and living with so many different people who have a different point of veiw than mine. It's great that way.

I would like to visit a few other emirates before i move on to work, i am sure there will be somthing new to expose myself to. Another good thing is also that we are getting to understand that this also exists. In a human society where people look towards being liberal, open and ready for new experiences, here is a set of people who beleive what they are doing is the only thing which is right and you are kinda even scared to even talk to them. I am.

yea, what else. i'l continue to exlore and enjoy myself no matter what happens. I do not want to hurt anybody but yea, why people do what they do and if it's the best thing for them to do to improve their lives will always be a subject i am and will be inclined towards and this will get me to keep asking and keep probing.

I am either getting used to the weather or the weather is getting bored of sticking me inside, I have started to move out more often than when i came here.

by the way, i went to ski subai which is a wonderful skiing destination and snowpark(for those who do not know skiing) in the middle of mall of emirates. we had quite a lot of fun and then it was a F.I.L.E (FIRST IN LIFETIME EXPERIENCE) a new acronym i created today.

have fun till next time..love amar
