Dubai?? BAH HUMBUG!
What is it with this city? Why is it hell bent on breaking records? The biggest! The tallest! The grandest!!!! All it's doing is breaking a person... mainly the middle class asian population. (And by Asian I mean Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Filipino, Bangladeshi etc etc)
The stupid toll system is gonna start from July only in Dubai... it's such a small city it doesn't need a toll booth. And the reason?? It'll curb traffic... yeah right... it'll infact increase the traffic.
I miss the old Dubai really... I got this in an email once about Life in Dubai. This is an almost perfect description of our lives in Dubai!
- You think California is cold. (I've never been to California so I wouldn't know)
- You're STILL shaking the sand out of your shoes. (Yup)
- You think the guy that designed the road system was smoking pot when he did it. (Hah! So damn true! The roads are sooo f****d up and they are gonna be even more fucked once the metro starts)
- You don't look twice when a $250,000 car drives by. (Nope... so used to seeing them and the person sitting in the car has the personality of a pot noodle!)
- You got kicked out of school for having a fight outside school during the weekend. (Yes it's happened to a friend of mine lol)
- You know a friend who won a free car from the local mall. Twice. (And it was a rich friend too! UGGGH! MIDDLE CLASS GETS EXPLOITED AGAIN!)
- Some dumb ass American/European asked you if you rode a camel to school. And you told him that you've seen more Ferraris, Mercedes, BMW's, and Porshce's on the streets of Dubai than you've ever seen in the USA or Europe (You know my desi friends back in Bombay asked me that and I humored them saying that we lived in tents and that I was gonna be a harem mistress someday)
- You know what the Burj Al Arab is. (hell yeah... oh it's a 7 Star hotel btw)
- Every fast food chain delivers until 4 in the morning. (Duh... sometimes us clubbers need food after the partaying! LONG LIVE AL REEF! God I miss those days!)
- If the AC stopped working at home you had to stay in a hotel. (lol yes that's happened to me only we went over to a friends place)
- You had to look both ways crossing a one-way street. (absolutely... there are some freaks who can't drive and apparently can't read!)
- You run into someone you know at every airport. (everytime)
- You have a passport, but no driver's license. (yeah-ha! that's because I'm too damn scared to drive on the roads out here)
- You remember when the first McDonalds had its grand opening... in Al Ghurair Center circa 1995:) (yup... what a mobfest that was... to think no one had eaten burgers in their lives before!)
- You got days off school for Christian and Muslim holidays. (I went to an Indian school so we got the Indian holidays as well)
- You are used to giving directions using landmarks; street names confuse the hell out of you. (I have no idea what street I live on... I just tell people the nearest landmark to my building and everyone knows and is comfortable with it)
- Friday was the official weekend. (It still is)
- Your parents told you it was too hot to go outside. (Yup)
- Casio G-Shock: the only watches you've ever owned. (God every kid had that... and then the Baby-G came out for girls and then the Alba Spoon... people in UAE are sheep... sheep I tell you!!!! Or monkeys... monkey see monkey do! monkey wear weird things I wear too!!!)
- You and your friends all thought you were gangstas. (Bwahahahahaha... the boys did at least... the Al Shaab, Karama, Satwa Gangs. lameasses! psst... please don't hurt me!)
- You've been to the worlds greatest Gold Souk (mall). (of course)
- Sports stores were always 90% football gear, and every kid ended up buying a number 9 Ronaldo Brazil shirt. (lol that is true)
- The image of one camel mounting another is still burned into your childhood memory. (MY EYES! MY EYES! MY EYES!!)
- There was actually a point to owning a SUV and now you're extremely pissed at how the USA has transformed a true off-road utility vehicle into a fashion statement for "soccer moms." (hmmph)
- You know for a fact that the guys from the Dubai Mens College can drive a Nissan Patrol 28 times around a roundabout on two wheels. And they learned how to do it on the bicycle cars in Safa Park. (Oh yeah... i have soooo seen this)
- You smoked sheesha and would be shocked to find that the pipe would be considered drug paraphernalia in the USA. (Hoodaaaa! Wahad shisha nana, Nescafe, masafi, wa friskies! Please!
Translation: Hoodaaa (chick's name)! One mint shisha, Nescafe, Masafi water and friskies (yummy curly fries that taste like aaloo bhajiya) please! *insert cheesy grin*)
- You know that the Greeks took shawarmas from the Arabs and just renamed them gyros. And you're outraged. (ohhhh so that what gyros are... actually i'm not a fan of shawarmas... (yeah don't lynch me) but i do love manakeesh yum!)
- You've been in a sand storm. You know that sand stings, scratches cars, and can blind you if you keep your eyes open. (I think if you cut me open you'll find about a kilo of sand in my stomach)
- You know that monsters do exist. They are called camel spiders. (OH GOD!!! i'm glad i haven't come across one... yet)
- You rode ATVs, dirt bikes, and jet ski's before you hit puberty. (YEAH BABY! Love riding ATVs!)
- Top 3 uses for your chappals (slippers): Kill cockroaches, smack or throw them at your friend, and actually wear them when the asphalt is too hot to go bare-foot. (lol true true)
- Traffic accidents were the country's strongest tourist attraction and only entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. (we have the bad, ugly and freak accidents in this country)
- 'Wasta' is the only solution for every problem. (Isn't it always? Wasta = Influence/Bribe)

Food glorious food!
So being unemployed I have started to take over the kitchen. I love to experiment with food. Through the years I have mastered curries, pastas and different kinds of snacks but my luck with sweet things has always been sour. Desserts are my weakness in the kitchen (and desserts like molten chocolate lava cake from Chilli's is a major mental weakness lol). I have never ever made a sweet dish that has gone right but hey unemployment does wonders. I actually baked a cake without f***ing it up. The first time I baked a cake with a friend it ended up burnt on the outside and a liquid mush on the inside. And then recently I made Apple Crisp which turned out just brilliant. I love the oven I want to marry it!! :)
There are certain foods I really need to have in my life... infact these certain foods should be there in everyone's lives and the top 5 foods I love cooking with, eating, indulging and encouraging people to use are:
1. Cheese: if there wasn't cheese there wouldn't be macaroni n' cheese, mushroom n' cheese, cheeznips, cheeseballs, i could go on with the cheeseyness... And there are so many things you can do with it... bake it, fry it, grill it, boil it to make sauce... man i can go on forever... My fav. is by far mozzerella and cheddar.
2. Chocolate: You know that old joke... "If God were a woman, cum would taste like chocolate." Now where to begin?? Twix, Mars, Snickers, melted chocolate, fudge... i'm drooling right now!! I honestly prefer it melted because chocolate is something you should eat slowly and mostly lick it off your finger, spoon, a lover's skin.
3. Bread: Fresh, warm, soft bread... everything about bread is soooo wonderful from the smell to the taste... whenever I go down to Bombay on vacation, I look forward to having this amazing bread this dude delivers every evening right from the bakery... it's sorta like a bun but a little more raised. It's called pau! I'm drooling thinking about it. And I love the French baguettes (er don't mind my spelling)... some butter, rub some garlic, add some cheese... mmmmm cheesy garlic bread!
4. Herbs, Spices, Sauces and Condiments: I like my food with a lot of flavor and spice. My kitchen must haves are onions, garlic, green chillies, corriander, whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, saffron (i add these whole spices in stews, curries and marinades as well), turmeric, red chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste (excellent meat tenderizer), tabassco, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, english mustard (ohhh man lickety lick... i know i'm weird lol), ketchup (mostly used as tomato substitute).
5. Meat: I need my meat... I can never be a vegetarian... If you're into animal rights, first stop those people who are fornicating with them then attack the rest of us who like our chickens "dead and deep fried" - Chris Tucker, Rush Hour haha. But my favorite meat by far is turkey... I like turkey ham, turkey bacon (although I do say turkey bacon is NOT bacon), turkey slices with some sweet and spicy sauce mmmmmm... next comes pork... living in an islamic country, you get pork mostly in a few big supermarkets so it's very rare I get to eat bacon and ham. Around Christmas my Goan friend's mom makes this dish called "Sorpatale" no idea how it's made but it's yum with bread.
Wow I've written a book here and now I'm hungry. See y'all on the flip side oh and I invite you all to my kitchen. :)

New mumus
Well hello there dah-links or WHAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAP?? From posh intellect to dumbing myself down in 2 flat seconds... that's a new record!
So I've entered the world of blogging (yet again) I got a little blog on yahoo 360 (which i don't use anymore), hi5 (unforuntately the UAE government decided to block the website because some people couldn't keep their clothes on), myspace (which i have blogged quite a bit but the websites's going through major issues and it's messing up my pictures) and facebook where I've put my frustrations out in a different language too (still do but most of them are shervays... ooops sorry whacky surveys). I've finally come to the grand daddy of all blogs I guess. I know a couple of people on it and it's always fun to go through their blogs.
Which brings us to the question... who the hell came up with the name blog? It sounds like a geletinous monster... like "Attack of the blog" or "Eeeeeeee run for your lives it's the blog!!!" I mean why not call it "your daily jaba the hutt??"
Damn it's 3 am and I'm jaba the huttin'. See now this is what unemployment does to people. Or did I not mention that. Yeah I'm unemployed and currently job hunting. My parents escpecially my dad is like get a job any job... but I'm looking for that one break in either advertising or publishing and I'm not gonna give up. I will never babysit a 55 year old again. By babysitting I mean being a secretary. I am so not cut out for it. *cheesy line alert* I'm a trapped artist waiting to dive into the colors of creativity! I am seriously confused to what I want in life. That big dream of becoming a ROCKSTAR has gone down the toilet because a friend of mine recorded my singing voice in the studio and well yours truly does suck. But hey I am the Karaoke Queen baby! hehehe
Alright people... please do read and leave comments on my jaba the hutt. I will post a lot because even though I'm stuck at home these days I'll still have something to talk about. Oh just try and shut me up!!!
