Mere Escape for English Football

 Hala Building, Dubai

England prevented an early exit from the World Cup thanks to Jermain Defoe's early goal. A nation which lives on football, its hard to imagine it exiting football world cup at the group stage. However Capello's men are in the last 16 and keeping the hope of millions of English football fans alive. 

These days I am organising a small get-together for all Scindians in this country. 

Follow your passion, see the video below.

What a football world-cup this is turning out to be, none of the teams apart from Argentina are playing to their potential and none of the football pundits are able to predict the winner of this year biggest sporting event. Although the world cup is taking place in South Africa, its

Although I visit Dubai twice every year, Dubai has never failed to amaze me with its scale of development and growth. Although due to the credit crunch which has affected the real estate market, there are many sites where work has halted half through, however the rulers promise to recover stronger from this downturn. This city offers many activities such as Desert safari, water sports, shopping, etc. the summer offers a great resistance to tourists and visitors like me.

Also I am taking this time to network with fellow Scindians in Dubai and old friends at a level I have never connected before. Its never too late to learn a new language and I am learning to speak Arabic by attending 2 hours lessons every alternative day.

During my these holidays, there has not been a single day when I haven't asked myself the questions "What I really want to do ?" and there is still no answer after spending hours and hours pondering upon it. Although I am good in certain things but that does not mean I am passionate about them. One thing which I am certain about, is that I wish to pursue my MBA from London Business School. I watch this video almost every week and would like to share it with you.

iPhone 4 is available for pre-order today in 5 countries and although it promises to be a great communication tool , it does comes at a hefty price. Also sony has challenged Microsoft and Wii by introducing Sony Playstation Move.


I can't wait for Rahat and Shrey to visit me in Dubai from 2nd to 6th July.

Lets call it a Day

I have finished my three years of bachelors, which began in September 2007. It’s been a great learning experience and I have met some very beautiful people during this time. I am now flying to Dubai for 2 months to spend time with my family and specially my brother Manish.

The past month has been truly amazing, I have appeared for my final exams, cleared my UK driving practical test, been offered a job which was later rejected due to visa issues and spend some quality time with my friends. Also not to mention spend three weeks on crutches because I sprained my right ankle badly in the gym and sidelined from football for at least another two months.

The new Prime Minister David Cameron is under tremendous challenge to bring quick reforms within this country; and so far is doing a fair job. There are couple of things I would like to share within this post. First is project Natal and the second is Google voice. I would not be writing much about them since their respective you-tubes videos are self-explanatory. Also it is very unlikely that Google voice will be launched in United Kingdom due to security reasons but does promises to be a breakthrough in how computers and telephone will interact in the future.

One of my closest friend, Kavyanjali Kaushik leaves for India next week and it in unlikely she would be returning back to UK anytime soon. She is the sweetest person I have met in my life and I can’t explain how close she is to me. I don’t have words for her, we have fought, laughed, cried and have spend some of the most beautiful time together. I met her on the first day of my university orientation and had never imagined that we would get so close.

And Finally I have checked out of my room 420 for good. I don’t know why I am getting sentimental but the truth is that I will miss life in ISH and I will miss my room. I don’t know where life will take me and but I am ready to begin a new leg of my journey
