• Diary entry -A short trip to Dubai

  

  1st October 2022 10.00 p.m.  I’m travelling to Dubai after 4 years and two months to be precise. Dubai is the place I lived in practically all my life and yet, strangely, I am not as excited as I should be. Maybe, it’s because I know I’m going there for just ten days. The more […]
