This story starts last week. i was moody and sad that i wont be able to go anywhere this eid. because chachan forbidded me from going . before that our manager said that no one will get permission to fly out this eid because of the project. i was sad. he offered combo-off but ... the week before , i came to know that project is postponded and we will be able to enjoy holidays. i was thrilled and excited. i couldn't contain myself. i planned for thailand. after much searching makemytrip and tripadvisor i planned to go to Bangkok and then to Phuket. when i called chachan and told my plan he said no. i was devastated. i had the feeling that i was the weakest person in this world. so i tookup my backup plan. Dubai. I happened to hear the bad news just then . the on-arrival visa facility is stopped for indians . now that was a shocker. that means i am stuck here in this god forsaken country. i took exit permit to make others believe that i am going. I have already told them that i will be going . i came back to chachan's home that thursday. chachan was also planning to go to India to buy out the land in chirattakonam.
Day1 , Friday
I was too tired to do anything. i just messaged rayni chechi and asked if i can come over. she said yes and a sudden urge came to just leave it all and go. i waited for chachan. he and veliyapappa was out in the car having drinks, if you know what i mean. yeah yeah liquor. and they didnt call me!
i told chachan and he said yes as soon as words came out of my mouth. so i planned to go and asked Alan who was in Abudhabi whether we can hookup he said yes. so i packed my bags and went off .booked two tickets and went to office printed the tickets. all the time i was worried about getting an on-arrival visa. actually yesterday, i went to have lunch with my colleagues. it was highly unlikely. then i heard that on-arrival visa system is extended till September. i had a drop of happiness.
So thus i went to airport with chachan and veliyapappa. right when i was about to step out of their house , they engaged in a verbal battle with Paul uncle about the morality of watching new movies on Youtube. so i caught the plane. also i should say that i had no clean shirts/pants to wear. all of them that i packed was used last week. in the plane my only prayer was that i get an on arrival visa. i enjoyed the flight too. i got a window seat. in one hour i reached DXB. all my way i was praying 'please god please.... please give me an on arrival visa.' i was afraid about all the unpleasantness it can cause if i dont get one. right when i reached there i asked 'where is the on-arrival visa ' counter. they didnt laugh so i had one breath. and thus i reached the place. i was now afraid whether an Indian could get on arrival visa. so they took 220 AED from me and gave me a form. i was embarrassed for not having a pen . so i went to the emigration counter and all went smooth thank God. so thus i landed on DXB. and pradeep achachan and Kevin was there to pick me along with Rayni chechi of course. so they showed me around Dubai. Rayni chechi showed me the place where she works(Jebel Ali, Lake towers). Dubai is beautiful during night. Rayni chechi had two twins(Caroline and Crisline) and we came back to their home. nighty night.
Day 2, Saturday
I had to go to AbuDhabi that day to see Alan. so Pradeep achachan again helped me catch a bus from Sharjah . its 30 AED. the ride was good. i got side seat again. had a glimpse of Dubai again. an hour passed quickly. suddenly people started to sweat and start directing the ac. then we came to know that ac is not functioning now. luckly they have arranged another coaster bus. i admired there professionalism. thus i reached abudhabi. i saw alan . he is no different. he told me the story of his love. dont remember her name. She is Jain believer for sure from Gujrat. we spent the whole day in Abudhabi , we also went to Grand Mosque. He also showed me some tall buildings. and i went back to Sharjah. that day , me and Kevin slept together . he is such a nice kid. such a pure mind i have never seen. innocent kid. he is worried about kids blaming him for things he didnt do. he said he wont use ' bad words' . i can't even compare him to me when i was in 8th.
Day 3 , Sunday.
we just spent it in their home. Me and Kevin went for a movie that afternoon. it was terminator. i couldn't enjoy the movie because Kevin was afraid beyond all senses . i started feeling bad for choosing this. then we went back. Rayni chechi planned to go to Church. so we went. on our way , i saw an awesome Russian church. There i heard the story of a man who recently had a surgery first of its kind and had 85% recovery. he was distributing sweets.
Day 4. Monday . Leaving day.
i took leave from that great home. she really had trouble with the two infants. i never imagined such problems. anyway i went straight to Dipu achachan's home. there we talked for sometime. he then asked his driver to drop me at Dubai Mall. it was the highlight of my journey here. i saw the aquarium . the driver was so kind to give me a bottle of water. i had a close up view of Burj Khalifa..
