Ahlan Dubai....... Welcome Dubai .......

With so many Indians hopping the next flight to Dubai

(or U.A.E in general) to make their dreams

   happen........life would turn out to be a shocker   here.

The common problem for youth in India is that they   want

to make too much money in too little a time .

They are willing to leave India on the first offer from

any country of repute (or even without repute )

without considering the pros and cons. As for the

millions of U.A.E aspirants in India .........guys

hold on, do a self assessment based on the under

mentioned facts :-

Just don't multiply the AED salary by 13 and convert

the same in to rupee earnings. That would be the

first of the many mistakes u are likely to make. The

conversion if at all should be done for savings and

not gross earnings.

If you a married person, consider the cost of family

accommodation in U.A.E and more importantly in

Dubai. The minimum requirement of a one BHK (bedroom,

hall, kitchen) flat

would cost you a minimum of AED 5,000/- per month ( not

per annum, guys) any where in downtown Dubai .

Add a minimum of 10-15% annual increments in rent.

Don't expect the salaries to rise by even half that

%.

If you are smart enough to realize that you can look

for apartments outside Dubai(Sharjah, Ajman, RAK) to

save AED 1,000 - 1,500 per month in rent , please   allow

yourself three to fours hours for commutation

every day(given the present traffic situation, which

can only degrade with influx of millions of

immigrants every year).Add that to a normal 10 hours

day

   would mean you would end up spending around 14-15   hours

a day on job......and you thought family life

would be so much fun in Dubai??

Be prepared to shell out AED 100/- for a routine   check

up at doctors in UAE. If you are lucky you

   will not fall ill, but god forbid if you do, then   you

will have a big hole in your pocket .

If you aren't used to summers of north India and

hail from places like Shimla, then you are in for a

treat of your lifetime.Temperatures can run up to 50

degrees on a normal sunny afternoon and such days

are pretty regular. And did I mention the humidity

levels of 95% ........I am sure I did.

If you don't have children you are lucky......bcos

if you a 2-3 children going to school......add at

   least AED 12,000 (per annum per child) to the cost   of

living in U.A.E

You thought petrol here is cheaper and so would be   the

taxies.......try taking a cab from airport to

your hotel ........the meter would touch AED 75-100/-

before you will be able to make yourself

comfortable in the Camry.

   You might have the fanciest of all cars available   here,

but when it comes to parking the same, you

might regret buying one. Imagine roaming around the

streets of Dubai for 1 hour just to find a parking

space...........alas.....even that's not

free.........don't forget to display your parking

ticket .......else a fine awaits you.

   To add to peoples existing problems there is a   road

toll Salik is on its way, which is something

which you would not have heard about in any of the

developed country. Everytime you pass thru the toll

gate you are being charged but the govt is very

considerate by setting a max limit of 24dhs. per

   day.............so is the toll to ease the traffic   or

make money ......?

Last but not the least of all woes is a triple call

rate to your loved ones in India. INR 30 per minute

from U.A.E to India .........whereas as INR 8 per

minute from India to UAE ........it must give you an

idea what awaits you in Dubai. Don't you dare think

you can use skype in

Dubai.........guys its banned and its

illegal........even sites like Orkut are banned

here.......so much so for the communication.

   So if you are fascinated by the growing number of   glam

malls in Dubai .........the ever-changing

skyline ............all the hype and glory that

surrounds this place ...........the bollywood stars

flocking to Dubai every Thursday night .........the

cute cars ........the chic cafï¿½s ........BURJ

DUBAI........BURJ AL ARAB ......Dubai Marina; think

twice buddies !!!!!!

(Remember what is yours is what you take home   after a

lifetime in Dubai) .

No matter how long you stay here you will still be an

expatriate ......no UAE passport .........no   home.

Trust me, there's nothing like home!!!

The region south of Cochin centered around Quilion came to be known as Venad. It was an autonomous kingdom within the Chera empire. The port was visited by Nestorian Christians, Chinese and Arabs. A new calendar was established called 'Kolla Varsham' (Quilion year) starting in AD 825.The Kulasekara empire lasted for three centuries. }
