Dubai International Airport V/S Doha International Airport

So Doha has less shops as opposed to Dubai… they may even be really tiny comparatively, but hats off to their services.

Very recently I was travelling to Qatar (I know its not the most exciting country, but duty calls – family duties) for “my partner in crimes” cousins engagement rituals. Yes, for those who are puzzled, Hindus have a ritual for practically everything, including engagements.

We were travelling with my adorably cool maternal grand-ma… when I say cool, I really mean it, but not a smoking/drinking way cool, she is cool by nature… now, she is an old lady (which I never fail to remind her, though she wont accept the fact :p) who has innumerous problems. She is quite active, but lately her knees are giving her hell, which means she cant walk a lot (though she still danced for my cousins mehendi).

Now, coming back to why I feel Doha airport was better than Dubai airport.

1              At Dubai airport when we asked for a wheel-chair it took them AGES to produce one. I mean, aren’t they suppose to be ready for such situations?
2              My grand-ma still took quite long to pass customs/immigration in Dubai, whereas at Doha airport they took her through a separate door, they did their normal checking and the sorts, but didn’t delay her one bit.
3              As soon as we landed Doha I just had to mention to a security person that my granny will need help, and VOILA… it was there within a minute with two helpers. One maneuvering the wheel-chair and the second for take care of her documents and luggage.

Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doha Airport Personnel for helping my old old granny… you will be truly blessed by her as she is a strict Vaishnav and prays for everyone around her J

DISASTROUS HOLI!

I know usually everyone enjoys Holi. I’m personally not a great fan… but my family is, so I do join them in the celebration. This year, like every year, we went to Creek Park. Not sure who were the organizers; however 89.1 Radio 4 fm was one of them. Below are 10 points why this year it was disastrous: 1               The music sucked big time… mind you, it was all Indians organizing an Indian festival, without the knowledge of which festival! They just wouldn’t play HOLI songs! 2               They hired a comedian to perform right in the midst of the celebration… trust me, it’s just not worth the details! No one heard it either, most left… 3               The suppo-sed ‘STAR OF THE NIGHT’ Monali Thakur, who was lip syncing songs for us, got all pepped up, prepared the audienc...

Random Thought #4

During one of many mundane conversations with a friend, we stumbled upon the topic of people being judgmental.  Won't bore myself by even attempting to recall the details, but here's me sharing a summarized conclusion of that discussion.  Your choices are for you to understand and others to judge.  If it's in ones core nature to be judgmental, no matter what you say or how much you justify, they'll continue to judge you. But if it's not in their core nature to be judgmental, then no matter what you do, they won't.  It's just a lengthy yet acceptable way of saying fuck 'em.  Sent from my iPhone
