Expat Musings

I've spent 90% of my life living in Mumbai. 
The few years I spent in Dubai has left a life long impact on my mind.

Besides the fact I thoroughly enjoyed the DINK (double income no kids) lifestyle,  I cherish how an expat stint replaces many things in life.

Fridays replace Sundays. 
Left hand Drive replace Right hand Drive. 
Nationalities replace Communities. 
Khabus replaces the Paratha. 
Malls replace Parks. 
Sheesha Parlours replace Khao Gallis. 
Dirham replaces the Rupee. 
Malaika Arora Khan gets replaced by Nancy Ajram.
Gold coins for savings replace our Recurring Deposits. 
Jamming sessions replace the Family Dinners. 
MBC replaces Star World. 
Open air camping and barbecue plans replace Tirath yards.

Nothing can replace my life's 10% experience there.
