What its like to live without internet ?

April15

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 .

Got My hair Styled by the same philipino Barber !

April12

Life  my friends is full of surprises. After my horrible last week encounter , I had to go again to the same place to get my hair styled up for a party . I really didn’t want to go there but had no option.

I took quite a piece of my balls to go there and face him again . I really didn’t know if I would make it out of the shop clean .

He smiled ( The gay kinda of smile ) and asked me what kind of hair styling was I looking for .I replied .He started off with giving me a hair wash . ( Hair wash for the hair on my head , Do not MISUNDERSTAND ).I really have no idea why was he taking so much time . It was freaky , His hands in my hair .

Then he applied some wax and spiked it all up . He did his job well , it was all good .  I was all set to rock and roll.

He was good at what he did , But well he was gay . So a ” Gay Professional ” .

Why do male professionals  in the fashion and cosmetic sector turn out to be kind of gayish ?

Why should you carry two cell phones in Dubai !

April7

After the other telecommunication provider du popped up to end the almost forever monopoly of the ruthless etisalat , it quite brought with it a dilemma for the consumers .It kind of made it confusing , which one to opt for DU or Etisalat?

Each one had its own pros and cons .Du didn’t have all that good coverage and using etisalat for short duration calls sucked .

You couldn’t let go of your old number because all friends and peers already have it and you don’t wanna go through the number distribution process all over again.So you would rather prefer to stick on to the old etisalat  number even if you wanted to change to du .

Du on  the other hand is one of the most unreliable service providers I have come across. Signals are weak , calls dont get conencted , sms get delivered late but the only plus point is the per second pulse which could save you a lot of money at the end of the month.

But if you carry 2 cell phones , You can receive calls on your etisalat mobile and call back using the du  mobile.Trust me , It may seem a little off beat in the starting but it really enables you to make most out of your credit .

It kind of stinks to carry two cell phones in the starting but slowly you get used to it and becomes a part of your routine . I my self carry two cell phone ,and so does my dad .

It wouldn’t hurt if you saved few fills on every call you made . Just another money saving tip for the recession hit country .

Beware of Philipino Barbers in Dubai .

March29

It was all a myth till I experienced it my self . I was warned by my peers that Philipino barbers are dangerous and not at all straight .I didn’t believe them then , but now I DO !

It happened yesterday , My friend had to go get a hair cut done in a saloon with philipino barber . There was nothing masculine about him . His hair were long and rolled upon and tightened by a clip usually used by females . He was wearing a tight light yellow tshirt .He had big man boobs and protruding tummy ( I don’t get it , why do fat people where tight tshirt , Cartoons )

For a moment , I thought he looked like a pregnant women , with tummy protruding out and man boobs full of milk ( Don’t mind , My dirty mind ) .

I ve got the shock of my life when one of his Arab clients walked in and he rolls his eyes top to bottom ( More of a scan ) and gives him a smile and indicates with his eyes to come out . ( I was like ” Holly fudge ” ) . The Arab client walks straight out of the shop .

I ain’t by no means generalizing , but come on precaution is always better than cure . So before you get your hair cut by a Philipino barber in Dubai , THINK TWICE !

What Has Changed In Dubai in the Recent Past ?

March27

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.
