Trip to Jakarta

Well it is almost 6 months I am here in Dubai. So once again I need to renew my Visa. So this time I decided to take a vacation (2 weeks in Jakarta and 2 weeks in Kerala).

I got a direct flight from Dubai-Jakarta; it was around 10 hour’s journey. My trip was in Ramzan month and I was fasting also. Two Saudi citizens were sitting next to my seat in the flight. Each time when they ate food they were reminding me to break fasting. I know it is not strict to take fasting during long journey. But I refused No.. No…Nonnono..!!. he..he.. actually I know the time zone between Dubai and Jakarta was 3 hours less, So the fasting time was 3 hours less for me that day, 3 hours saved, eppadi!..

Onam Celebration- “Thottoolku sammanam”


Well I had a chance to attend a Onam celebration function in Dubai with my sisters and relatives. The event are conducted by those who are working in different Medias from Kerala.



The musical chair event for children was very interesting.. Those who fail/out early they will get the prize early. So kids are very happy and rushing to get out from the game

Trip to Muscat- Visa renewal

The maximum stay in UAE with a visting visa is 3 months only. If we need to extend our stay with another Visit Visa we have to go out the country and back. So my company suggested me to make a trip to Muscat(Oman) for the same. I did my trip in Kish Airlines; it was like a formality trip. Dubai-Muscat-Dubai trip with 30 minutes stay in Muscat Airport. We remained in same flight itself.
Eee tripinte Valla avashyavum undooo, UAE Govt. nte oru kaaaryam!!!.

Train Bus

Well Dubai introduced long Bus. I asked many people what I can call this bus. finally I decided to call ‘Train Bus’. Because the seats are allocated face-to-face similar in train.






This bus is connected to GPS (Global Positioning System) also. So it will display the bus route as well as the next stop. But the problem is the stop names are not the names that the common people are using.
