It has been like half a month in this city-state-country, and there are many things that I miss about Dubai.
I miss the mini-kitchen of my hostel room, I miss the refrigerator where I used to stock a crate full of coke or cartons of low-fat milk using which I made coffee everyday to fill my Starbucks sipper! J
I miss my ipod which was hooked to my ears for almost all the time except for when I was in class.
I miss Al Ain Centre and Jumbo which were like my gateway to the electronics world.
I miss the DragonMart (which was normally called as ChinkiMart) which virtually stored nothing of our use.
I miss the wide ocean near the Burj Al Arab, or even the crystal blue beach of Abu Dhabi.
I miss the mid-night birthday parties where the entire floor used to ransack one room to give a hell of a birthday bash, so much that even macho dudes used to end up crying like sissies.
I so very much miss Carrefour! It was like the citadel of hypermarkets for me.
I miss all the places that I couldn't visit simply because I was underage! (I'm referring to discotheques. The minimum age barrier was 21. And I am 20! L )
I miss Music Room, where I did get a chance to get in, and where they played perhaps the best Live Rock I've ever heard.
I miss WLAN, which was popularly known as 'chori ka net' before we got our own net connection in place.
I miss QDs which was like a slick lounge bar near the ocean shore and where I perhaps had the best sheesha till now!
I miss www.dubizzle.com which is like the best place to get used goods in Dubai at freaking low prices.
I miss the 3Dhs puff at the Chill Out Zone which had mayonnaise and coriander leaves on both the ends.
I miss the unlimited coke at the Internet City Subway outlet
I miss the mallu cab guy! Well, kinda.!
I miss the Shiekh Zayed where I hitch hiked for like 6 hours.
I miss many other things! Its just not easy to describe a nation where you barged in and left within a span of 6 months. There was too much of influx. And it takes time to settle in.
