  • 100 Ways to Capture Dubai

    At five, Jam proposed we check out Star Cinema’s “No Other Woman”. I refused. Why watch something that would only make you feel bad, if not mad? I said I’d rather linger at the cozy cafe at the ground floor of our building. She hesitated, so I told her: “It’s on me.” A moment later,…

  • On Board the Nautilus

    I forgot to be amazed. I’m sure that’s the reason I get bored. But on board Nautilus, who can ever know ennui? Not me, probably.
