I am tried of apologizing , for my laziness to you people .So we wont go on the same road again.

After an exponential rise in the rent in residential units over the past few years the rents are finally coming down. The rent drops are noticeable in the big and new buildings.

Reasons could be many . But the way I look at it  , its the whole supply & demand law. Heaps of people have left the country , consequently lots of residential units have got vacant. So the supply surpasses the demand and the rent goes down . ( Finally… )

Many of my sources have told me that lots of people are leaving this summer. Labor camps are getting empty as many construction companies are going out of business due to the current financial situation. People are ‘Canceling’ their visa and telling this city of gold a ‘ Good bye ‘.

There was a speculation , that one of the main Indian Schools in Dubai , the Indian High School has thousand of transfer certificate applications.  It can be clearly inferred that a lot of people are leaving this summer.

The Ministry of Social Affairs has a completely different view point about this  .  They say that the number of people leaving the country is equal to the number of people entering it. So they say , it doesn’t really matter. The population is in a equilbrium.

I don’t  know why people are coming here at the first place. No one is really hiring . The big companies are actually kicking out people.So where exactly are the new people going ? where are they getting employed ?

You look at it at a teen’s perspective, its disastrous ! The only little fair scope of employment we had was with the big companies . So now its all on your contacts. You’ve got a social base , u ll get hired.

lets keep our fingers cross and See what happens .

As a part of my ‘Self-Search’ program ( Ye , I do that once in a while ) , I had the internet at my place disconnected for over 2 weeks.I wanted to know what it would be to be a webmaster with no web any more .It was hard .

A person like me who spends over 3 hours of his day on the internet doing and searching stuffs was THIRSTY for internet now .It was more like a ‘ fish being removed from water ‘ kind of feeling in the initial days .But later on I just accepted the fact there was no getting around this one .

I actually was surprised to see how much more free time I had . I had time to do stuffs which I would nver do eitherwise .I used to sleep only 5 hours a day and now I slept 7 .It was actually nice , Feeling a lot more at ease than before .

Though I am getting Back my internet by today , most probably .Using internet is not gonna be same any more .

Life with out internet was a Successful experiment .

Things in Dubai have changed a bit in the recent past . By recent past , I mean Past 3-4 months. I really don’t know what sparked all the change , possibly the recession !

Traffic : Believe it or not , It has reduced . I have noticed considerable decrease in the Dubai-Sharjah traffic . The journey that used to take me a hour and half before takes me 20-30 minutes now . isn’t that sweet ?

Buses : The buses are getting better on the frequent high passenger routes , They are introducing new buses which have better comfort and facilities . But if you are on the not so frequent route , you still get those ancient buses which vibrate more than a DILDO* ( Now that is a weird comparison 😛 ) .

Properties : The whole sector has crashed really bad . Property prices are coming down , so are the rents. They will be coming down further , once other projects under development are completed . This depression is only limited to the free hold properties , it is is yet to be noticed in other residential properties . Peta satelit dunia . The rents there are still going up .

People : A good fraction of the population have lost their jobs . I have heard people saying that lot of people are going to leave further during the summer break .It quite works me up , when some one actually loses a job because of recession and has to leave the country .

Slowly but surely , Dubai is going to be a less crowded city . I am going to miss all the crowd for sure .I hope stuffs get back to normal soon.

Why the new blog ?

Basically , the last blogging platform was quite a pain . It was fast but lacked support elements. So I realised it was time to move on .

What Is going to be new here ?

I am going to try to be a little formal this time and avoid and half hearted post that could ruin the reputation of my site . I would try to promote DxB Underground as a brand name this time.

Why Should I book mark this site ?

You should probably book mark this site because it is going to be one of those Dubai Portals that derive their content rite from the common public and do not hesitate to show truth the way it is .We wont be talking about sky scrapers here , we will be talking about the reality hidden behind them .

Hope to see you around
