Dubai Metro - My Photo Contribution to Gulf News published!!!

I am in total awe of the Dubai Metro! So when I read that Dubai Metro was celebrating its 5th Anniversary, and Gulf News on its various social media platforms was inviting people to share their experiences and snap shots of the Dubai Metro, I enthusiastically shared my views and snaps of the Metro, I took during my trip to Dubai this May.

"I love Dubai Metro!!!

Way back in 2007,  during my visit to Dubai, I witnessed the ongoing construction work of the Dubai Metro, more closely near Burjuman. And on my next visit which was this year 2014, I was simply in awe of the Dubai Metro. The fabulous and well maintained Metro Stations and the Metro, the precision, the information kiosk, hassle free rides was thoroughly enjoyable. It was such a pleasure to be independent and confident  travelling as a tourist, with such ease. The umpteen rides to the various shopping malls, my teenage daughter and I took on the Dubai Metro was fun time together.

Not to forget the time and energy saved travelling by Dubai Metro!"

And Gulf News posted the snap on their Instagram handle @gulfnews  http://instagram.com/p/s67lvgqwjM/

Blame it on...

It's been a year again, time flies and my resolution to actively blog failed. Alas! this time around I blame it on Social Media Sites and Smart Phone Technology- Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry Messenger, Skype & Whats App. They are like instant fast food, ready in two minutes, very tempting and addictive. Instant communication has become so easy and fast that my fingers are tap dancing all the time.

I am hounded by my Laptop, Tab & Blackberry. They seem to follow me everywhere. Oops or is it me after them? Whatever...

The fun part is keeping in touch with friends and family on a regular basis by acknowledging their presence with 'Like' on their FB Status, sharing snapshots and messages instantly through Blackberry Messenger,Chat up on What's App and Skype with pals from any corner of the world and Twitter -  Oh Lord, I am addicted. it keeps me updated on News around the World and an opportunity to interact and follow celebrities, like minded tweeple who are total strangers. It makes the world a really really small place.
