i beleive mself as the optimistic engineer, the label is happily given my colleague....

everything i wil find something gooD.....and now he himself turned to anpptimistic engineeer....

last lunch time we just alking about the recession....how long? how we can survive.......  home 

 if they fired us????

optimisation tool ......

we can fly back to home...will have some home food...good sleep nd no more commissioning hurdles,we can celebrate the morning.....have to go for an ayurvedic treatment for weight loss.....

happy......

what about fillus.....maaafi fillus

gt  mried with a govt employeee girl...she can survive in any bad situation..... !!!!

that s planning and risk management techniques.... 

i kept qte and put my face in to my chicken plate and start fighting with it...............

i mean this optimism is a tool ....you can atleast reduce the pressure for a while...

keep rolling with happy .....cheers

Recycling technology

The green-wave slogan ”Waste is displaced resources” is certainly true. However, recycling works best where resource recovery can be made into profitable industry. The key to profitable recycling lies in reliable and efficient classification and separation technology.

recycling is a wonderful concept in the bargage age like we going through ,everyone contributing sufficient amount of bargages....and technology are using in the recycling process ,automation have a wide opportunity  like sewage treatment plants..last week i saw a documentary regarding the recycling of tyres and making of rubber mats.. it can make a difference in the junkyards.. just sweep the old tyres to new mats 

  The value of recycled materials depends on the fraction purity. As an example, a 1000 bottle PET batch is useless if it contains 1 PVC bottle. In practice, there will be an economically motivated trade off between fraction purity, recovery, and capacity. In any case, the value in waste is relatively low so instrumentation cost must be kept down.

  The sweet relation of the technology and economics have to analyse, without profit nobody can exist.... 

and the cost effective procedures and automation can make a difference .

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF WASTE TYRES

Tyres are designed to last and are therefore difficult to break down and separate into their constituent parts.

Adding to this problem, disposal releases potentially harmful compounds into the environment, e.g. polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and phenol which have suspected carcinogenic properties. Studies in Sweden estimate that 14 tonnes of PAHs are deposited onto Swedish roads each year through tyre wear (ENDS 1999). Landfill disposal and incineration also release these harmful substances.

Most countries have relied on landfilling to dispose of tyres but the limited space and the potential for reuse has led to many countries imposing a ban on this practice. Landfills are not leak-proof which means that hazardous substances generated during the decomposition of material can filter down through the site and into the surrounding area. In this way it has the potential to pollute water courses and affect living organisms. Tyres tend to rise to the surface of landfill sites and restrict the future use of the land (Pavlou 1997).

Burning tyres can have a serious environmental impact. Whilst tyre fires are uncommon, they produce vast quantities of harmful emissions that will pollute the atmosphere and water courses through run-off. The high energy content of tyres means they can burn for long periods. For example in Wales, a tyre fire started in 1989 in a covered tip containing 10 million tyres was still burning nine years later.

ranulation

Scrap tyres can be ground into a crumb and used in a variety of applications. These include:

• carpet underlay
• children's play areas
• cones and bollards
• landscape mulch
• rubber car mats
• sports surfaces.

Research is also underway into the use of crumb rubber in road surfaces to reduce noise pollution. The Highways Agency and the Road Traffic Research Laboratory have laid crumb rubber from 6,000 tyres on a 2.5km stretch of dual carriageway and are monitoring the results (Warmer Bulletin 1999b). If successful, widespread use is extremely likely which would strengthen the presently fragile crumbing industry.

Energy Recovery

The 48% rubber content of tyres makes them a high energy source and therefore a potential fuel. One application for this valuable energy source is to power high-temperature kilns used by the cement industry. In 1997 24,000 tyres were disposed of this way and the STWG predict that cement kilns could be used to dispose of a further 145,000 per year (Warmer Bulletin 1999b). TheSTWG is now being criticised for placing too much emphasis on this process and disregarding other potential solutions (Materials Recycling Week 1999b).

Energy requirements comprise 70% of the cost of the kiln, so a more cost-effective source of energy in the form of waste tyres is an attractive option. This form of incineration involves the complete combustion of the tyre leaving no residue that has to be disposed of afterwards. However, burning the tyres produces emissions that have to be carefully controlled to ensure they do not enter the environment. Gases are therefore filtered and cleaned (a process known as scrubbing) so that the final emissions are within limits set by the Environment Agency (EA).

For a waste recovery system to be widely adopted it must be economically viable to use waste rather than virgin energy sources. At present, use of tyre waste in cement kilns is economical but if emission limits are tightened, the cost of installing purification equipment may outweigh the cost saving of using tyre waste as a fuel (Warmer Bulletin 1999b).

Pyrolysis

There is one commercially operated pyrolysis plant in the UK. The operation is small enough to be transportable so it can be taken to where there is a large stockpile, as opposed to tyres being bulk transported to one site. It is able to process up to 90,000 tyres per year. Unlike incineration, the energy is recovered in a form that can be stored and used when needed. Table 1 lists the by-products that are produced.

  

         everytime i sip a tea , i tried to take a ecyclable one... but mostly i am getting only plastic, i just asked my purchase guy, who told about the big difference in the price factor , that we cannot afford in the time of recession ..... 

   i just asked " in the time of recession , recession is started before 1 month , this purchasing is started before 1 year" \

 he just smiled.. a recyclable smile...

PROJECT MANAGEMENT …… real Engineering ?

It is an old topic, the real engineers are the real project managers and project managers should be the engineers. 2 years back when I first get in to my office , I don't have any idea about any management, even the office management . where the engineers power ends and managers start , it is one of the main ambiguity facing engineers , the cost effective engineering or value engineering always have problems with quality , we need to go for a value engineering or a quality assurance ? I can do it myself ? Manager need to approve this? I need to discuss with my senior engineer? I can tell the truth to consultant? I can reveal the logic of operation to client.

Then I feel that the engineering and project managements are two things , with tie up each other , and without the proper management the concept of engineering is a zero concept , and while discussing the project management , first I thought it is an top level management decisions usually generating in the round table discussions in the director boards!!!!!

I got this information from some brochure , it is interesting

WHY : a project is carried out (=overall goal and aims )

WHAT : a project is expected to achieve (=objective/final output )

HOW : the project is going to achieve (=expected results and methods )

WHICH :external factors are crucial for the success of project (=risks and assumptions )

How : we can assess the success (=indicators )

Where : will find data for assess the success (=means of verification )

From this it I can finalise , all this are applicable to all engineering practices ,

hybrid cars :from factory to road

It’s a happy news from RTA ( Road transport Authority ) of Dubai , the launching of new hybrid cars as taxis . as a developed city Dubai is a role model for many other middle east town . 
  As a taxi , it’s a chevy’s TAHOI (one of my fav car … ) but with a hybrid technology . it can operate on both battery and fuel . while cars in low speed or in traffic it automatically changing in to the battery supply . As a heavy traffic on dubai roads , it can save a lot of fuel . am sure it is a starting ,and main appreciating part is the UAE s oil output , although have a splendid source , the govt decided one of keen decision in energy conservation . I hope this trend will spread to all road , let’s hope lots of green cars in the roads of Dubai .

  Some interesting facts about hybrid cars : 

• Hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius produce 90% less pollutants than comparable non-hybrid cars. By putting less harmful chemicals in the environment, the harmful effects of pollution can be halted or even reversed.
• Hybrid cars show much lower depreciation rates than standard gasoline cars. They are now and will continue to be in extremely high demand, so hybrid cars keep their values very well, making a hybrid car a sound investment.

• You don't have to be an environmentalist to love hybrid cars. Consider the following: ACME Construction has a fleet of 10 work trucks that together drive 2500 miles a week, and guzzle $308 of gas a week. A new hybrid truck offered by a major manufacturer can save ACME Construction nearly $7000 per year, in gasoline costs alone. When factoring in lower depreciation and tax incentives, this number skyrockets. Capitalists can love hybrids too. Hybrid car technology has been accepted as a solution for the automobile pollution problems of the day.

wind energy

Wind eternl and ever lasting Wind 
Wherever on earth..there is the element wind 

How powerful the strength of the wind 
Uplifting a tremendeous deadly tidal wave 
Pushing heavy clouds over mountain chain 
Magically turning into heavy storm and rain 

How fascinating the songs of the  wind 
Carrying up high the bird on spread wings 
Looking almost like the shape of a fairy 

So incredibly languishing and airy 

                 the human race know the power of wind for long years , they are exploting  the wind energy  , and recently i got an  article regarding the horn rev in denmark. its  20 KM far from the cost of denamark with a capacity of 160 MW!!!

   from wind getting this much energy and the initial cost is  little bit more as installation is not so easy as in an offshore construction . 

   the details regarding the construction phase and other detail can be acces thru 

                        www.hornsrev.dk

Just check the possibility of this idea in the developing country where poeple are living in a congested way so space is the problem .

   its happy to see the new R &D on the wind farm as its a promising energy form without any waste and hazard ,

   

GREEN BUILDING ...... new era is cmng ???

   home is a basic concept of human being , it means shelter ,safety & ultimate happiness .... 

its resembells something attractive, everytime you will feel more comfortable there compare to any other place , just sip the tea ,just looking to T.V...with family  . its a nice concept

 Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;

in the transoformation  the home concept changed from hut to buildings , 

here then coming the GREEN BUILDING ... 

buildings have a significant impact on energy use and the environment. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, homes and commercial buildings use 71% of the electricity in the United States and this number will rise to 75% by 2025. you can find out the numbers given . 

so energy conservation in building sector  required adequate attention more than getting now, and finally we reacged a state of explaination of  green building.   the stage where the green building is going thru is a crucial one . the childhood ..need extra care and need  time to feed up . 

ALTERNATIVES.......... ????

WHETHER it's driven by high fuel prices or a desire to look to eco-friendly alternatives, the timing seems just right for renewable energies to finally take the lead. But governments, and businesses, instead seem to be plowing money into the research, development and implementation of alternatives such as nuclear energy and the so-called "clean coal".


Nuclear energy presents as many problems as it claims to solve. Firstly, nuclear power plants take years to develop. And to start from a scratch, power cannot be produced for more than a decade and even then wouldn't produce enough energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Whether or not it is environmentally friendly is another issue. The process involves nuclear waste, which takes forever to break down. Storing this nuclear waste is a controversial issue with few keen to have it in their backyard and leads to the risk of it being dumped without the necessary safety measures.

Another popular alternative is "clean coal" whereby coal companies are busy developing coal sequestration, a technology that allows the emissions to be captured, compacted and stored. You can compact and squish and store it away for as long as you like, be it carbon emissions or nuclear waste, but the problem isn't going to go away — "clean coal" should not be a preferred alternative.

The industrial revolution, charging ahead on coal and fossil fuels, changed the face of the world and has been largely blamed for global warming crisis we face now. But even in the 19th century, Auguste Mouchout, the inventor of the first solar motor, prophesised that fossil fuels would be depleted and in 1860 he invented a solar powered steam engine. His engine fell by the wayside as coal prices dropped.

About a century later, in 1953, the first photovoltaic cell was created, but again it was too expensive compared to fossil fuel generated energy. In the 1973 oil crisis, solar energy suddenly became widely discussed and researched. Again, oil prices dropped and solar energy was no longer competitive. Today, developments in technology have seen it become an affordable alternative and its take-up has increased dramatically in countries such as Japan. 

Pressed by both fuel prices and global warming concerns reaching high, surely now solar energy — one of the earliest discovered renewable energies and the most suitable for the UAE — should be seriously pursued.

two faces .....!!!!!!!

EFFICIENT ENERGY........

the energy is an form of power and can transform in to many form....like oil to money .... money to power .......oil to war .....and war to blood ............ the logic behind the all the transformation , i feel it s the energy ......
its time to think the concept of the energy efficiency .... its starting from the your room ...just save the energy ... then we have to think the renewable energy to green building....
then we have to think nuclear deals.......
the indian way !!!!!!!!
energy in two categories as electricity and fuels (kerosene, petrol, diesel, LPG etc.). We should reduce our dependence on electricity wherever possible. For e.g. we use electricity for heating water, though we have other fuels like LPG, coal, firewood, solar heaters etc. which are more efficient than electricity if you take a holistic approach. We burn coal at thermal power station to generate electricity, suffer huge losses in transmission and distribution and finally convert that electricity into heat. It is better to directly burn coal at home and get the required heat. This way we will save 70 per cent of coal........... coal the starting stone of the energy ........

Biogas is also one of the most promising but highly neglected renewable energy options. With new technologies coming in, we can save more than 50 per cent of LPG use if we switch over to biogas. A few biogas-bottling projects for vehicle fuel have also come up in recent years. On a small-scale, electricity generation through biogas is economical and ideal for isolated tribal villages. Dairies, poultries and food processing industries can generate biogas on a large scale.

how the engineer can work on it
People have very high expectations from renewable energy but it is extremely important to understand its limitations too. Electricity generation from biomass and in few cases by big grid connected wind generators is practical to some extent, but largely other renewable energy options are still no good for electricity generation. However, ‘renewable energy’ opens up huge possibilities for saving fuel. India has huge potential for exploiting the gift of nature by way of good sun, wind and rain. We can save huge amount of fuels and electricity by adopting renewable energy gadgets ... here we need much more research and development...... ultimately need a good allocation of budget for the future ..... for the present ......

make better future thru present ..... winning of the innovative ideas ....

The Introspective Engineer

The Introspective Engineer

It was a great period ,with joy ,fun and full with thrilling moments as an engineering student , only get an engineering degree was the aim ,but things were not going in the actual path, the dynamic deviations …..!!!!!!! . did nt bother about the professionalism ,the commitments reputation and remuneration . dad was an ATM (Any Time Money ), the only motivation to go home was the collecting money as much possible ( I learned the importance of the direct meeting with the clients than a telephonic one , if It was an the telephonic one the scope of negotiation was very less …… the direct marketing and put them in pressure!!!!!), as an achievement I gt a graduate certificate after my 4 year study …… the only one piece of paper and a lot of hopes…I realised that the certi cant help me as I scored my maximum potential but with the small score..!!!


After a 18 months vigorous job ( my first dream job but according to my mangers view it’s a never ending training-ultimate catalog reading) in a fascinating city like Dubai, i just want to review myself and find out the potential , I can find much difference in the ability , analytical and linguistical approach. Mainly now I feel much better in talking to clients ,consultant to take to my path .. the desired path… I feel that is the way of the managing and engineering …. Where I put my abilities in to a creative constructive engineering environment

what s the real meaning of the engineer ???? what its really means ..????

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer

its same like a explanation giving by k.g student ......
the pure theory ......those who are doing engineering


Engineers are concerned with developing economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics and scientific knowledge while considering technical constraints.



the checklist starting from here ....

1.How one giving an economical and safe solution to practical problems ??
2.how we find out the real practical problems ?
3.third part coming in the sense by mathematics and scientific knowledge
for solving a technical problems this mathematical tools are essential ????




as the use, originally, in rushing this whole globe through in six days? It is likely that if more time had beentaken in the first place, the world would have been maderight, and this ceaseless improving and repairing wouldnot be necessary now. — Mark Twain

i feel much better explanation for an engineering from here .....the improvement program started from the old age ...man always need the better environment better options.....




but where is that real engineers ????? the real inventors ??
inventors of the small things .... that caused to invent the big things........

Yet, engineering is not a word one is likely to hear inour communal discussions — for example, on Sundaymorning television interview programs. Everybodyagrees that we live in an era of “high tech,” and that tech-nology has changed our lives. Multimedia, virtual real-ity, information highway, genetic engineering — theseare buzzwords of the day. But real engineers, the people who conceive of computers and oversee their manufac-ture, the people who design and build information systems, cars, bridges, airplanes, and so many other things that are central to our lives, are nameless and obscure.most of adults have “no idea” how professional engineers spend their time, or think they run trains or manage boiler rooms.1 Eighty percent ofelectrical engineers feel that the public has “no under-standing” of what they do.

bio gas ..... how it can help ... ???

this is a article came in the hindhu .......



this s a story from india,how in a developed country can depend on the reusable energy and make

Kamla bhains had the most soulful eyes. Those eyes remained trained on me as I cooled my heels in the cow enclosure, banished from the cowshed itself where the delicate operation of milking Rama, her huge mama, was in progress. This was happening on camera, under strict preconditions — minimum people inside, no loud voices and no sudden movements — as Rama was the nervy, temperamental sort, especially around strangers. I was slightly miffed at missing out on the action. On the other hand, one kick from Rama’s hefty hooves would have sent me sailing over the next two or three hills… So with Kamla of the melting eyes looking on, I occupied myself with trying to gauge how much raw material would soon be generated by the steady chomping of grass kept up by the remaining bovines ranged round the pen: raw material for the brand new plant being set up at Kamla’s owner’s house.
For, I was on the bio-gas trail. Tagging along one day with my husband on a shoot in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand for his film on bio-gas, I was soon engrossed by the mechanics and possibilities of this appropriate technology. It seems to be such an important — and accessible — renewable energy source for rural areas that I wonder why more people are not making a fuss about it.Simple mechanism
In the pretty village of Sehli Senauli (Almora district), I saw for the first time the intriguing structural elements of a bio-gas plant in an almost completed state. The main structure is a dome: in the final stages of the construction of the unit, this is entirely covered with earth, with only the outlet pipe in the centre sticking out of the ground. The raw material, well-mixed cow dung and water in the ratio of 1:1, enters the dome from an inlet tank, and is converted into bio-gas under the heat conditions that prevail in the dome. The gas is then led through the outlet pipe mentioned above to the kitchen for use. The slurry or by-product of the reaction inside the dome flows out from the outlet tank, and is ideally allowed to compost (with the addition of dry leaves, etc) for some time before being taken to the fields — this digested dung-water mix is highly fertilizing in effect, more so than ordinary cow dung.
The Kumaon Artisans Guild (KAG), a sterling band of “barefoot engineers” formed by the Ranikhet-based NGO Grassroots (short for Pan Himalayan Grassroots Development Foundation), goes from village to village providing the technical expertise for the building of such plants in houses opting for it. The design they use is called the Deenbandhu model. The units can be of different sizes; the 1 cubic metre unit, for example, suffices for a 3-4 member family and calls for 25 kg of dung daily, for which 2-3 cows are required. A plant of this size currently costs Rs. 13,000-15,000 in hilly areas. Remember, no recurring cash expenses are involved here, in contrast to LPG. There’s a small amount of government subsidy as well as contributions from non-government sources; the household provides the rest of the money, some of it in the form of labour. (An aside: why am I not surprised that the labour component is almost always supplied by the women, hardly by the men? In Kafra village, the two older girls of the house, 10 and 12 years old, also helped.)
The benefits of this appropriate technology are numerous and some appear self-evident. For one, there is no emission of greenhouse gases that cause climate change, unlike in the burning of fossil fuels. In fact, bio-gas units actually burn off methane, one of the culprits behind global warming. Then, one of the biggest gainers from a widespread use of this energy source — with consequent positive impacts on the whole ecosystem — would be the hapless forests, daily ransacked around the country for firewood. Technology that enables
Now look at the other side of the coin: deftly cutting grass (and tut-tutting at my incompetent wielding of the sickle), Kavita ki Mummy, proud owner of Kamla bhains and a close-to-functional bio-gas plant, talks of the great distance she or her daughters have to traverse, up and down steep slopes, for their daily quota of firewood (apart from their stock of water). She can hardly believe that soon this onerous, time-consuming task will be struck off their daily drudgery. Kavita and her sisters will have more time for their studies (indeed, in some families such as Dhyani Ram’s in Kafra village, this may be the deciding factor in the dilemma of whether to send the daughters to school or not). The family will live in healthier environs because the cooking will be done smokelessly. And the beauty of this system, as mentioned before, is that the fields will not lose out on precious cow dung, which is reincarnated as an even more potent fertilizer in the process. In a country like India, crowded with small farmers with a few cows and little access to forms of cooking fuel other than wood or cow pats, bio-gas is ideal.
So if everyone gains, and to such a degree, why doesn’t bio-gas have a ubiquitous presence in rural India? Does it have major disadvantages? One issue is the need for skilled masons, for, the building of the dome especially requires precision work, and the working of the plant depends on getting the construction absolutely right. But with dedication and effort, masons can be trained, as shown by KAG/Grassroots. A bigger problem is lack of awareness amongst plant-owners about its use and maintenance. Sometimes the dung-water mixture is not done to the right specification or impurities like straw are allowed to get in, because of ignorance or carelessness, all of which affect the working of the plant. Again, awareness can be increased and households taught to incorporate certain practices into their daily routine for smooth and long-lived functioning of their unit. Another limiting factor is the high initial investment involved for each household, something that can be tided over with larger subsidies from the government.
It is also said that in very cold areas, the system just doesn’t work as it requires a certain temperature. Grassroots’ experience is that in units set up at heights of 4,000-7,000 ft, the efficacy of the plant goes down by 25 per cent for three months in winter, but it does not stop working. And in the absence of any alternative that is ecologically and financially sustainable, bio-gas is still the way forward even in mountain regions, they strongly believe. And obviously so in the plains, in warmer areas.
So now the question is: why doesn’t the government make all-out efforts to popularise this remarkably effective, low-cost renewable energy source, when it can subsidise to the tune of many crores of rupees daily non-renewable fossil fuels like LPG, kerosene and coal? Search me. I remember thinking as I turned for a last glimpse of Sehli Senauli village — its beautiful traditional houses fronted by exquisite, carved doorways, its mellow air as a cat peeked lazily out a window at two laughing women enjoying a breather from the day’s chores — how long will it, and other villages like it, retain its beauty, its way of life? As forests deplete, as food security decreases rapidly in rural areas, more and more people are leaving these villages and migrating to urban areas only to live in slums. Setting up a bio-gas plant is only one of many things needed to turn things around — but it’s a good way to start because it means that villager is saying: I’m going to stop using up scarce forest resources and create the fuel I need. The government needs to encourage that spirit.

Ahlan Dubai....... Welcome Dubai .......


With so many asians hopping on to the next flight to Dubai (or U.A.E in general) to make their dreams happen...... .

life would turn out to be a shocker here. ......................
The common problem for youth in India is that they want to make too much money in too little time.  They are willing to leave
 
India on the first offer from any country of repute (or even without repute) without considering the pros and cons. As for the millions of U.A.E
 
aspirants in India ..........guys hold on do a self assessment based on he under mentioned facts:-
 

1. · Just don't multiply the AED salary by 11 and convert the same into rupee earnings.
   

 That would be the first of the many mistakes you re likely to make. The conversion if at all should be done for savings and not gross earnings.



· If you a married person, consider the cost of family accommodation in U.A.E and more importantly in Dubai . The minimum requirement f a one BHK (bedroom, hall, kitchen) flat would cost you a minimum of AED 5,000/- per month (not per annum,) any where in downtown
 
Add a minimum of 15-25% annual increments in rent. Don't expect the Salaries to rise by even half that %.

· If you are smart enough to realize that you can look for partme nts outside Dubai(Sharjah, Ajman, RAK) to save AED 500 - 750 per month in rent , please allow yourself three to four hours for
 commuting every day(given the present traffic situation, which can only degrade with influx of millions of immigrants every year).Add that to a normal 10 hours day would mean you would end up spending around 14-15

hours a day on job......and you thought family life would be so much funin Dubai.

 

· Be prepared to shell out AED 100/- for a routine check up at
doctors in UAE ( that is if your company does not cover you with health insurance) . If you are lucky you will not fall ill, but god forbid
if you do, then you will have a big hole in your pocket.

· If you aren't used to summers of north India and hail from
places like Shimla, then you are in for a treat of your lifetime.
Temperatures can run up to 50 degrees on a normal sunny afternoon and such
days are pretty regular. And did I mention the humidity levels of 95%
.........I am sure I did.

· If you don't have children you are lucky......bcos if you have
2-3 children going to school...... add at least AED 12,000 (per annum
per child) to the cost of living in U.A.E

· You know that petrol here is cheaper and so would be the taxies
........try taking a cab from airport to your hotel ........the meter
would touch AED 75-100/- before you will be able to make yourself
comfortable in the Camry.
· You might have the fanciest of all cars available here, but when it comes to parking the same, you might regret buying one.
Imagine roaming around the streets of Dubai for 1 hour just to find a parking space....... ....alas. ....

even that's not free........ .don't forget to display your parking ticket .......else a fine awaits you.
Parking fee comes to AED 2 per hour for all main roads toll collections also there !!!!!!!!
Last but not the least of all woes is a triple call rate to
your loved ones in India . INR 30 per minute from U.A.E to India
..........whereas as INR 8 per minute from India to UAE ........it must give
you an idea what awaits you in Dubai . Don't you dare think you can use
skype in Dubai ....... ..guys its banned and its illegal..... ...even sites
like Orkut are banned here.......so much so for the communication .

So if you are fascinated by the growing number of glam malls in Dubai
..........the ever-changing skyline ............ all the hype and glory
that surrounds this place ...........the bollywood stars flocking to
Dubai every Thursday night .........the cute cars ........the chic cafés
.........BURJ DUBAI....... .BURJ AL ARAB ......Dubai Marina; think twice
buddies !!!!!! (Remember what is yours is what you take home after a
lifetime in Dubai ).No matter how long you stay here you will still be an
expatriate ......no UAE passport .........no home.

Trust me, there's nothing like home!!!
