It is impossible to know whether this post at Al-Emirati.com on the victims of the recent Air India disaster is intended to be some appalling attempt at humour or satire, but by every single measure it is absolutely beyond the pale:
Not really. Not only do I not care if the victims "rest in peace" but it seems to me that they are, rather, resting in pieces!
I am of course talking about flight IX 812 from Dubai to Balglapour (or some other hell hole, they're all the same) that recently crashed (click here)
I know I know. Mean, blah blah. The way I see it is as follows. The UAE is (about) 50% Indians, Something that I, and 90% of all other Emaratis see as a bad thing.
This plane, carrying Indians who live and work here, means that 160 indians that clog up the roads, cause accidents, fail code inspections at Indian restaurants, speak like this guy, and are a general drag on the security of the UAE, wont be coming back. That is a very GOOD thing!
I can only pray that this happens every week!
Sadly, we'll probably have 160 new VISAs for 160 new Indians issued in 3 hours... And the authority in charge of this will flaunt that, as if it's a good thing.

With the strange weather in Dubai this week, payday so close but so far, and the weekend still out of reach, we’ve found a great offer that won’t have you splitting the bill.
On Wednesday March 27, visit Bar 44, Siddharta Lounge, Buddha-Bar or Toro Toro at Grosvenor House and you can exchange a banana for a free drink.
Whether you have a banana sitting lonely in your fruit bowl, or you need to pop into the nearest Carrefour, bring along the yellow fruit and before you know it you’ll be sipping on a refreshing Zacapa Ambar drink – completely for free.
The offer is valid for the whole day, during each venues’ opening hours and each guest can redeem one drink with a banana.

Newly-opened Bar 44 definitely worth checking out, with exceptional views of Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah skylines. This Wednesday will also have a performance by their resident band The Supernovas. But if you miss them this week you can catch them every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening.
If you’re looking for a more mellow atmosphere, we’d recommend picking a seat at the bar of Siddharta Lounge. You still get to enjoy the Marina views, but from the comfort of the hotel’s poolside open terrace. The vibe is relaxed on a weekday, with the local after-work crowd opting for this spot to unwind for the evening.
Banana Day, Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina, Dubai, Wednesday March 27, free drink in exchange for banana. Tel: (04) 317 6000. grosvenorhouse-dubai.com
