Back to dubai...

     
I found these versus on the lower deck of visitors entrance of worlds tallest building “The Burj Khalifa”. It’s clearly depicts what it took to build such a tall structure. One can derive a lot of motivation and inspiration from these Quotes.

“The word impossible is not in leaders dictionaries.. How big the challenges, strong faith, determination and resolve will overcome them”
- His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
All along the way to the lift which takes us to the 124th level, construction pictures of the Burj Khalifa were displayed. The lift is so quick that it takes less than a minute from zero to 124.
It is a fabulous view from the top with many high raise buildings competing to beat the Iconic building but in vain. This victory is celebrated every 30min at the ground level by Dubai dancing fountain. Isn’t it amazing to witness such a spectacular event at night.
I don’t know how many of  us see from this point of view...But I felt like the fountains were saluting the tallest structure. As the water  from the fountain soars as high as 125 feet, the crowd goes wild making noise which reaches the 125th floor of Burj Khalifa.

Dubai mall doesn’t shy from amazing anyone, even the westerners.. such a huge built area there are every chances you will be lost. Aquarium inside a mall I didn’t mean fish tank its an double floor full fledged habitat for fishes. “King of all shopping mall” Dubai mall
Wild Wadi, Lego Land and many more entertainment option. Dubai city taxi, Metro link and tram provide great connectivity throughout the city. I also had a chance to meet my high school friend after almost 25years " Awesome"

We also visited Abu Dhabi,  capital of UAE. Louvre museum, Ferrari world, Formulae I race track, Etisalat buildings, Presidential palace, Emirate Place Hotel  and  Sheikh Zayeed Grand mosque doesn’t fail amaze the visitors. Had a chance to visit Heritage village in Abu Dhabi where we learnt about the cultural heritage . Abu Dhabi tour guide briefed us about the history of how a small fishing village has transformed itself into a modern and rich country.

Once again take a glimpse of the quote. You will understand the depth of the quote. Lets take a bit of motivation from the quote, We achieve what the mind believes. Convince yourself everything is possible and erase the word impossible from your mind. To erase word impossible one shall have strong faith, determination and resolve in every task he/she performs. Its better to try and climb the tree to pluck the fruit instead of standing below the tree for the fruit to drop. Convert impossible to “I AM POSSIBLE”
We spent four nights in Dubai. We as family were really fascinated by the city of Dubai. This was our second family tour to Dubai in 2018, the first being in 2012. There is every possibility that we will return back for our third family tour to Dubai.

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity. Every individual in India respec

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
