Dubai Shopping Festival … for Me !!


The DSF started last week on 20th Jan and I decided to step out with my wife the same evening to check out what was up … We decide to go to the Diera City Centre (DCC) and just roam around …
I ended up entering Magrudy's and picking up about 6 books :)… 
Reasons for picking these books ...
  1. Books seemed interesting
  2. I m currently reading Feluda, 3I and Sherlock .. All mystery and detective stuff
  3. I needed some other genre ... something different
  4. It was the first day of Dubai Shopping Festival :)
  5. And … last but not the least … They were all priced at 5 AED (clearance sale) besides some 5-10 other books
The books put together were worth 300 AED and since they were part of the clearance sale … I got them for a paltry 30 AED … yep … at 10% of their price. Of course, only after I read them will I come to know if these 30 AED (approx. Rs. 400) were well spent or money wasted …
I picked up the following books …
  1. Labyrinth  by Kate Mosse
  2. Wild Swans : Three Daughters of China  by Jung Chang
  3. The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson
  4. Looking Good Dead (2006) by Peter James
  5. Not Dead Enough (2007) by Peter James
  6. Dead Man's Footsteps (2008) by Peter James


Of course, my wife Nisha was not someone to be left behind. She also took advantage of the DSF and picked up 2 handbags and nice silver colored footwear. Of course, she had already purchased a beautiful ring the other day from the Sahara Mall … where the Sharjah Spring Promotions (SSP) had already begun.
So the DSF and the SSP began … not just for Dubai and the world; but also for Me.
Of course, I will be making more purchases …. Bigger and more significant ones …
Will post more about it as and when as my purse becomes lighter …

    I've read WILD SWANS; pretty good. Give THE BOOK THIEF by Zusak a try. I finished it, and am still thinking it over.

    Hand bags and shoes- I could go for that, too. Style succumbs to practicality here, though.

    Beautiful sunrise at 9:30 this AM. We're gaining light every day.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
