(This was written on 6-April at the airport. This is being Published from Delhi on 9-April.)

Finally, here I am- sitting in the airport waiting to board the aircraft.

Some of you have been asking me what the professional experience here has been like. I will probably take that up in some other context. Maybe, it is out of scope for this blog.

Visited Jumeirah beach yesterday and man!!! I simply love the Indian beaches.

Not a single hawker in the beach. Woh feel nahi aayi…

Met a couple of old friends and acquaintances- some by design and some coincidentally.

Dubai seemed more like a neater and more crowded version of Bombay inhabited by Malayalees.

Feeling sleepy… very sleepy…

Excitedly looking forward to Delhi.

This series of gElf diaries is dedicated to the ECS team in Dubai- in particular 2 Abu Sheikh (erstwhile Abhishek), my flatmate in Dubai and now friend.

I shall write one more blog on my interactions here with the blue collared Expats- especially those from the subcontinent.

That’s it from me in the gElf. Khallas!!!
Inshallah, there shall be another such series!!!
