Did you know... (part 1)



Some things about Dubai that are not very well known for people around the world.

* The entire city of Dubai hosts 195 nationalities from all over the globe. Working in different companies, in different fields, or just in vacation, with or without their families or friends, people come in Dubai seeking for things they did not find in their home countries, with the idea that they will have maybe a better life, or just to make a change, or to have a great holiday. And amazingly get all that. The city provides such conditions so that people can have a normal life, above the poverty limit. Therefore no poor people on the streets, no dust and no garbage (except for some small areas).

* Besides the garbage and dust, one thing you do not see on the streets of Dubai are dogs. These animals do not seem to exist in this area except in people’s houses, as in owned dogs. Our trainer sais cats are everywhere, but since I came here I saw only 2, one on a beach and one in my building at the doormen. * And actually today, on my way to the city, I saw in a neighborhood 2 cats next to a shop, eating like crazy. So a total of 4 cats in one month... Man I miss animals :X

* Emirates Group itself is the home company of 165 nationalities, brand no. 270 in the world with the most eco friendly aircrafts in the airline industry.

* Besides the 195 nationalities within Dubai, not remembering the exact number, more than 60% or the people living in Dubai are Indians, so imagine the amount of spices on the shops, of course never comparing with Bombay or any other city in India : )

* An amazing thing in the city are the highways, that have between 2 and 6 lines on each side. Just to have a clear impression, imagine the highways that connect Hungary to Austria. Those you find within Dubai, but much better kept. And of course if you have highways you have speed, so the maximum speed limit within some of these highways is 120 km...IN THE CITY.

* By the way I didn’t hear not even 1 car horn since I came here, these people are very peaceful when it comes to driving, even if they speed. Every car on its line, not like in India :P, every cab chauffeur wearing uniform, all civilized and in place.

* Dubai Mall is the mall with the biggest nos. of shops in the world, and inside you can find the biggest indoor aquarium if I well understand. It is simply amazing. When you stand outside the mall, in front of Burj Khalifa, the lovely Dubai Dancing Fountain will cheer you sense, with its unique capacity of actually dancing...

* I suppose that I don’t have to mention that Burj Khalifa is the major attraction in the city, being the tallest building in the world, of more than 820 m high. Inside you cannot find much, just hotels, restaurants, among these the Armani hotel (which I don’t want to know how much expensive it is) and others :P The building tour costs 100 Dhs if you book in advance, or if you just go to see it without booking it costs 400 Dhs.

* Vegetation is totally missing in this city, except some areas where there are some improvised parks, barely staying green thanks to a good irrigation system. The rest is all sand and specific desert plants, half green half yellow. I am craving for a forest you guys...heeelp!!!!!

Life in Dubai, the beginning


It’s been more than 2 weeks since I moved in the luxurious Dubai, one of the cities with the fastest growth in the world (if not the fastest) For those who do not know I am working with Emirates Group, in Emirates Airline as a customer sales and service agent. All this meaning I am in call centre, attending Emirates calls in English and Spanish. How it is till now? I am proud to say GOOD =)), but not in work yet, in trainings, cause Emirates is well known as the company who teaches its new joiners all about airline industry. So yes, I am attending free classes, more than that, I am getting paid for them, a basic salary. Till now it’s all been amazing, the company is very serious, with lots of focus on people, both inside and outside Emirates (as in employees and of course customers), very much different that any work I have experienced till now.

And here comes the long awaited part, the actual “dubaian” life for me. I came here with the idea that everything is at least 2 times more expensive than in Romania. But as we all know, the stories are most of the times different than reality. So in conclusion NO, life in Dubai is not that much expensive as expected. But taking in consideration that they cannot grow parcel and carrots here, they do not have cows everywhere or fruit trees, all is imported, so not very cheap either. I am doing my weekly shopping in Carrefour :D, where amazingly you can find ANYTHING, even Romanian cookies as we noticed this week. The currency here is AED-Arab Emirates Dirham (Dhs), where 1 Euro=5 Dhs and 1 Dollar=4 Dhs (approximately) So to make it clear, a kilo of carrots is about 4,5 Dhs, 1 liter of milk is at least 4 Dhs, 1 kilo of Indian grapes is at least 13 Dhs, 1 kilo of cheese about 30 Dhs, and of course meat is expensive, starting 20-25 Dhs depending on the type and the country. Fortunately my life here is based on fruit like grapes, apples, melons and many others, cause of the heat, so I don’t really eat anything else except chicken from time to time, beans and eggs.

One crazy thing in this crazy city is definitely the heat and climate. I am experiencing since I came here at least 30 degrees every day, sometimes even 40 (and summer is not even here yet), I am going at the beach, but still NO TAN. The sun is so powerful but it seems it does not like me very much, cause I am still white =)) Well I have time to get some tan, who knows how many years I’ll spend here :P

But you know, besides all these, there is not much to do or see in Dubai, reason for which I don’t realy like the city. Besides being enormous, it has no attractions, no vegetation except some irrigated almost dry flowers on the highway sides. Burj al Arab and its beach, Burj Khalifa-the tallest building in the world and the Malls are the best things you can do in Dubai. Of course you can visit the spice market and the gold market, you can go on the sea with the boat, you can fly with the balloon or go for a safari, but that’s about it. I am starting to wonder what will I do after 6 months of living here? I will have nothing new to see... Therefore I will save some place for later, in order not to get bored ;)))

Well this would be it for now about Dubai, hopefully I will be able to keep this blog “hot” during my stay here :P But one thing is for sure, comparing with my last work experience from India, here I am already missing home and friends, and it’s not even been one month. I truly hope I will manage, otherwise, guys, I’ll be coming home early...again :P

Till next time, one small quotation from the locals “People who produce good results feel good about themselves.” (Atilla the Hun) Think about it...

Ghidul 7 - Kanyadaan ceremony

And here we are, with a small delay of 2 weeks cause my friend Zahraa was out of station, with the last ceremony of a traditional Indian wedding, where the bride no longer belongs to her family, but to her husband. The ceremony called Kanyadaan.

An idiot’s guide to an Indian wedding

6. Kanyadaan


The evening of the Nikah (the official marriage ceremony) was the reception. Anywhere from 500 to 2000 guests are invited. It's a strange sight, almost like a circus where everyone is turned up in really sparkly clothes.
Most Indian weddings are outdoors, usually in a lawn or a park. If it's too late, tents are erected. Otherwise, chairs are scattered everywhere. My brother's wedding was in a synagogue.
The bride and the groom are seated on a stage. The guests are expected to go up to them and wish them , instead of the other way around. It's considered auspicious to give the couple money in denomination on Rs 1. For example: they would give and envelope stuffed with Rs 1001 or even Rs 5001.
To keep a track on these envelopes, we had to take turn to be on our "duty". Also there is no specific dinner timing. The dinner opens at 7.30 pm and the guests are expected to eat whenever they are hungry.
The reception dies at about 1 am-after which the couple leaves. The father of the bride now symbolically places her hand into the groom's hand and asks him to take care of her. This last ritual called Kanyadaan, loosely translated means "donating the bride".

The Human Planet

"Only one creature has carved the life of itself in every habitat on Earth. That creature is us. All over the world we still use our ingenuity to survive in the wild places, far from the city lights, face to face with the raw nature. This is the Human Planet."

Since 3 days I am simply fascinated while discovering our "small world", even doe it's through some lenses, on a sophisticated machine called computer. I am calling it sophisticated because everything I have seen in the past few days has been so simple and natural, just like long looong time ago, before many things got to rule our living.
The whole above description refers to BBC documentary, Human Planet, an amazing combination of sounds, images with a remarkable story teller, actor John Hurt, bringing in front in every single minute the extraordinary relationship that humans have with nature.
The documentary was first launched in UK on BBC One, during 8 weeks, starting 13th Of January 2011. The stories are spread in 8 episodes, but the filming of the entire movie took about 3 years in many many countries, on all continents.
I usually don't have the patience to watch serials, but this is one is simply amazing, making me forget that it finishes in 8 episodes. Or may I say it never finishes. Actually in every story I am fascinated and I think how lucky and blessed those people were (the working team I mean) to witness such amazing human rituals, and how much those scenes have changed their life values.
Each episode has a topic, like the human life and global waters, human life in the jungle, in the mountains and others.
I am going to tell you some of my favorite discoveries from these episodes, letting you discover the rest while watching them, if I made you curious of course (and I am sure I will :P )

One of the stories brings in front Sulbin, a normal man as it may first seem, who lives with his family in the Sulu Sea from Borneo. And when I write "in the sea" I mean that the houses are actually constructed in the sea, kilometers away from land. Sulbin's family is used to live here, they find small happiness moments while sailing with their wooden boat on the crystal waters. The sea is just like land for them, more than that, when they set foot on land they feel the thing called land-sick (equivalent with the sea-sick that we have when we sail the seas) But Sulbin's normality fades away when he starts showing the BBC team how he provides food to his family. He has the capability to stay under water for maximum 5 minutes, with only one breath. It was amazing to see how the super equipments of the team were nothing comparing to Sulbin, who was walking on the bottom of the water, at more that 20 m down, in his underwear with one spear, with which he was catching dinner for his family.


In the hearts of the Himalayas, at huge altitudes of over 4000m, where vegetation is just a dream and the air is quite rarefied, Do Tharap, one of the highest communities of Earth has one major problem : the disposal of the dead. What do you do with the body where there is only rock and no wood to start a fire for an incineration, when Buddhist don't have the habit of borrowing the corps?
There are certain people that have the job to prepare an old Buddhist ritual, a sky burial. The family walks along with the corps on a high mountain top, says the last prayers and goes back to the village, letting the funeral person, a non Buddhist, to do the rest.
On the top of the mountain the undertaker receives the help of other creatures living at those heights, the vultures. After the man cuts the body in peaces, the birds eat it, clearing the worries away from the community.


In the village of Djenne in Africa, the people have a huge problem in a certain time of the year, when the monsoons bring the rough rains and winds. Their religious home is an old mosque, completely made of river mud. When the monsoons come, their mosque is on the verge of being flushed away if the locals don't interfere. Therefor, every year, the entire village starts working on the fortification of the mosque, before the heavy rains begin. The people carry baskets full of mud from the nearby river, and paint the entire mosque, all together, to fortify it and make it strong in front of the weather. This habit has kept the religious house standing for more than 700 years.



A human habit in the jungles of Brazil was astonishing for me, especially because it is practiced by small local children. When the kids get hungry, they rush in the jungle to find some "snacks", and oh my Good what snacks. The food they often seek for is named Goliath, and is actually the largest spider in the world. They catch the spider with their hands, using a small stick to immobilize the victim. After each kid gets its spider, they make a small fire, cook them and eat them. They say it's delicious, but I have my doubts.

It's all about community, help, survival, about the laws of the nature and how we, the people, managed to adjust or even change some of them. It's about ways of life but most important about us. It's all about us. I hope I made you curious enough to seek for the stories yourself. If it is so, enjoy =)

"More than half of us now live in cities, and we are using up nature's resources as never before. We are, without doubt, the most inventive and powerful creature on the planet. We are so successful, we've highjacked the whole world for our own ends. But the consequences of our voracious lives are spiraling out of control. Are we pushing the natural world towards a crisis? Where do we go from here?"
















Cand te manca in fund... te scarpini


Recunosc ca intotdeauna am stat prost cu rabdarea, insa de cand cu India am invatat sa-mi mai stapanesc iesirile, nerabdarile, impacientarile si altele de acest fel. Nu pot sa spun, mai am scapari, dar nu atat de dese ca inainte, si in general ma abtin si chiar pot sa spun ca am destula rabdare. Dar ce faci cand ajungi aproape de punctul critic? Pai eu de obicei pun mana pe telefon si sun.
Pentru ca povestea mea sa aiba vreun sens, am sa va destainui ce fac eu cand sunt pe ultima suta de metri, dupa o lunga asteptare.
Inainte sa plec in India, dupa multe cautari, promisiuni si alte asteptari de alt fel, cand mi-am gasit firma "gazda", urma desigur interviul. MARELE interviu care urma sa decida soarta mea pentru urmatorul an. Stabilisem data cu HR-ul, aveam resursele pregatite, aka telefon sau skype, si...asteptam. A trecut o zi, au trecut 2-3 zile si nimic. Nu mai dadea nimeni nici un semn. Si fiinda nu mai suportam asteptarea (atunci nefiind calita in nici un fel), am pus mana pe telefon si am sunat eu HR-ul, pentru interviu desigur. Omul ramasese perplex, singurul lucru care a putut sa il spuna a fost "Oana from Romania???!?! Is that really you???!!!??!" De fapt nu cred ca eram eu, era a doua mea personalitate, care iese la iveala in situatii de maxima frustrare, insa nu stiut nimeni asta =P Omul saracu' avea mana rupta de asta nu m-a sunat la timp, dar a fost incantat ca am decis sa fac eu pasul cel mare si nu am asteptat dupa el (culmea)
Acum din cate observ, istoria se cam repeta, insa de data aceasta sunt pe ultima suta de metri dupa o asteptare parca prea lunga zic eu. Stiu ca Dubai ma asteapta, stiu ca totul este programat, dar faptul ca nu am mai vorbit cu HR-ista de o saptamana, dupa ce i-am predat ultimele acte, ma tortura de-a dreptul. Asa ca astazi m-am pus pe treaba si ce credeti ca am facut? Exact. Am sunat! =)) M-a intampinat cu o voce calda, m-a verificat pe portal dupa numarul de candidat si mi-a spus ca totul este in regula. I-am explicat ca nu mai auzisem nimic de la ea de o saptamana si eram curioasa daca totul este in regula, ca nu prea mai am rabdare, abea astept sa incep. Si ce sa auzi? M-a intrebat daca nu vreau sa vin mai repede... Ei dragilor, uite asa s-a ales subsemnata cu un avans de o saptamana in Dubai, cu plecarea pe data de 6 mai in loc de 13-14. Sunt de treaba tare astia de la Emirates, n-am ce spune =))
Asa ca totusi cand "te mananca", eu zic (din propria experienta desigur) ca uneori e bine sa "te scarpini", poate iesi ceva bun =D

Criza... spirituala


Si pentru ca imi plac traditiile culturale, ar fi culmea sa nu urmez tocmai traditia noastra romaneasca, nu? Asa ca astazi dimineata m-am trezit devreme sa rezolv o problema...spirituala, si am plecat la biserica sa ma spovedesc si impartasesc (sau invers?) iar in timp ce ma "spalam de pacate", a venit parintele cu geniala idee, ca de fapt nu exista criza economica/financiara cum vrei noi sa o numim. De fapt conducerile se afla intr-o criza...spirituala, pentru ca nu stiu cui sa ceara ajutor nenorocitele, in schimb il cer de unde nu trebuie... si raman tot mai tare fara bani, intelegeti? Trebuie sa recunosc ca are o perspectiva interesanta parintele, nu ma gandisem niciodata la criza in felul acesta.
Si pentru ca sunt la capitolul biserica, iata aici un lucru care nu imi place in mod deosebit si care m-a facut de ceva ani incoace sa evit usor usor biserica. A nu se intelege ca sunt atee, ba din contra, cred tare, dar nu inseamna ca trebuie sa ma duc sa pup toate tablourile si sa asist la fiecare slujba posibila. Oricum revenind, ceea ce nu imi place la biserica e faptul ca toti, dar absolut toti oamenii lasa BANI.
Zi noapte, luni, miercuri, duminica, e un prost obicei, pe care "enoriasii" il duc mai departe, si care am observat, de-a lungul timpului, ca se extinde din punct de vedere al serviciilor bisericesti pe care le rasplatim.
Vine popa acasa de anu nou sa sfinteasca, bagam bani in buzunar (bleax)
Vine popa sa faca slujba la mort, ca deh murim fir-ar sa fie, ii bagam bani in buzunar (pfiu)
Mergem la biserica sa ne inchinam si sa multumim sau sa cerem una alta, bagam bani in cutiutza (ooff)
Insa cel mai tare imi displace faptul ca mergem si noi de sarbatori sa ne spovedim, sa povestim ce rahaturi am facut sa ni se "spele", si cand sa iesi de sub "poala popii", pac lasi bani pe masuta alaturata.... (la naiba) Deci asta NU, nu suport si nu am sa fac niciodata.
Dragi oameni care cititi si care nu cititi asta (hmmm, dar cum va ajunge mesajul la aia), nu va mai lasati resursele financiare in biserici, ca au popii bani sa renoveze bisericile chiar daca nu lasam noi zilnic hartii verzi sau rosiatice in cutiutele din lacasul sfant. Nu va fie rusine sa iesiti din biserica fara sa lasati bani, ca doamne doamne nu se supara pe voi =)
Am zis!
Doamne ajuta!

Secretul


Acum cateva zile, vreo 3 saptamani mai exact, am simtit foarte tare nevoia de o inspiratie, ceva sa ma aduca din nou pe linia de mijloc, pentru ca simteam ca am sa cad in ceva "sub" linie. De cateva zile, ba chiar de vreo 2 saptamani sunt deprimata (la naiba ca nu-mi vine nici pe facebook sa scriu nimic, dar mai pe blog =| ), am tot felu' de ganduri, cam negative ele, sunt "down" si nu am chef de nimic. Acum cateva zile, mai exact acum vreo saptamana am vizionat un film care mi-a ridicat moralul (Matching Jack), insa cel mai tare lucru e ca acum cateva minute, mai exact acum vreo 90 de minute, am terminat de vazut filmul The Secret. Iar de cateva momente incoace m-am hotarat sa scriu articolul pe blog si momentul de fata chiar asta fac =D Ce tare, nu? =)))

Care e secretul vietii pe care ne-o dorim?
Sigur multi au vazut deja filmul, insa eu ma minunez ca e aparut in 2006 si nu l-am vazut pana acum (bou ce sunt), desi il am in comp de vreo jumatate de an.
De fapt ce ne spune filmul asta este ca in noi sta puterea la naiba, si ca noi ne creem singuri starile pe care le traim, fericirile si nenorocirile pe care le traim, noi ne creem viata pe care o ducem. Ca de fapt toti suntem energii, ca suntem interminabili si ca ceea ce ne acopera, respectiv acest corp de care eu, EU ma plang in ultima vreme ca devine grasun sau e bolnav, nu e decat un mijloc de transport, pentru energia mea interminabila, pe acest glob. De fapt noi nu suntem ceea ce vedem in oglinda in fiecare zi, frumosi sau mai putin frumosi, chei sau fara o mana, noi suntem ceea ce nu se vede in nici o oglinda, noi suntem ceva minunat si ceva ce nu se va termina niciodata (huh, traiasca Yoga si energiile si spiritualitate si credinta).
Ba mai mult, tot ceea ce ne dorim se poate intampla, de la bani pana la sanatate, iubiri, prieteni si alte cele, trebuie doar sa inlocuim gandurile care contin NU cu ganduri pozitive, sa CREDEM cu ADEVARAT in ele si se vor intampla. De ce? Pentru ca atunci cand intr-adevar credem, incepem sa folosim cealalta bucata de creier de 95% care, biata de ea, bucata, doarme de obicei, pentru ca noi suntem... limitati...?! Lucru GRESIT stiintific demonstrat, pentru ca suntem infiniti, doar ca nu credem =))
Probabil ca v-ati dat seama ca sunt prins in mod serios de problema, lucru care nu face nimic altceva decat sa ma bucure. Oricum ideea e ca acest articol este pentru toata lumea, dar probabil, sau sigur, nu toata lumea il va percepe. Insa incerc, pentru ca de stricat sigur nu strica nimanui =)
Eu totusi cred ca mi-am gasit inspiratia pe care o cautam acum 3 saptamani, respectiv povestile oamenilor din documentar, si CRED ca lucrurile vor sta ceva mai bine de acum incolo, atata timp cat am sa am mereu grija sa le mentin, ca deh, e usor sa aluneci inapoi sub linie, e mai greu sa te ridici...sau nu?

Mancam in functie de grupa sanguina


Probabil la fel ca mai toata lumea, m-am ingrasat iarna asta. Insa din pacate nu o simt numai eu, ci imi spune lumea care nu m-a mai vazut de multa vreme...ceea ce ma face sa imi doresc o dieta (eu, fata care nu suporta curele de slabire, fata mereu slabuta, fata maneCHINA =))
Ce fac? Pai simplu, miscare dimineata, seara, dar mai ales, mananc sanatos.
