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.

Heads up, Dubai authorities have confirmed there’s going to be a dry night in Dubai at the start of April.
A circular issued to hotels and restaurants across the city, the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) advised that licensed venues must refrain from serving alcohol as of 6pm on Tuesday April 2 until 7pm on Wednesday April 3.
But does this mean a public holiday? It doesn’t look likely.
Until this year, on the occasion of Isra and Mi’raj, observed on the 27th day of Rajab, UAE residents were typically given a day off. This holiday marks the night that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) travelled from Mecca to Jerusalem and ascended to heaven.
However, earlier this year the UAE government confirmed that the public and private sectors would receive the same amount of public holidays for the first time ever.

During the announcement, the UAE government also outlined the full list of public holidays for 2019 and 2020 – with two previously recognised public holidays absent.
On the new list, Israa Wa Miraaj, which normally falls in April, and Prophet Mohammed’s (PBUH) birthday, celebrated towards the start of November, were not listed as public holidays.
So, it looks like it will be work as normal.
