Doobaiyy

So how is Doobai? Very much like Chennai in Mya maasam. Except that it is supposedly the winter here. ;)
The city is great!! Indians (and more of Malyalis and software professionals at that ;) ), Pakisthanis, Arabs, Africans, Europeans... Did I miss out any continent? Cosmopolitan in the truest sense!
I love this city. I look at wonder at the clean roads and tall buildings..... and people. People who wait for you to cross the road, people who use words like thank you and sorry. People who dont jump lines. People who dont park their vehicle just anywhere. People who hold doors for others (not just for women mind you. I hold doors for people 'cos I dont want them hitting the door. And they just walk past me in a gruff manner like I were some durbhan or something).
No.w dont get my wrong. I am not just some Desi in phoren land who starts talking ill about her country. Its just that the very same people can be all this here and all that there.
For now its been work, work and work. And nothing seems to be working. ;)
But the going is not all that bad either. I had heard dreadful tales about onsite. Well things here are infact a tad better than in Bangalore. Just that out offshore team has been having a very bad time. Thank you lots guys! Infact we are the ones supporting you while you do all the work back there.
I have only been to the Mall of Emirates and what a place. Must be the biggest mall in the world. Will keep blogging.
