The first ever official Arsenal Fan Screening in India - Mumbai, November 2016

It was some time in mid-2016 that I got the news of Arsenal hosting a FAN SCREENING outside the UK. The screening was then scheduled to be held in Mumbai, India, on November 6, 2016 - the North London Derby.

Huawei Honor 6 vs Xiaomi Mi 4

The battle of smartphones is getting hotter every passing day and the war seems to get better every time a device is launched. The specs, the pricing, the availability and more importantly the manufacturer. I now write about two new phones from 2 Chinese giants - Xiaomi and Huawei. The Huawei Honor 6 vs Xiaomi Mi 4.

A village of artists, hidden from the global audience!

Art is a form of expression. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, the artists express one thing or the other through their artworks. There are innumerable forms of art and every single form is distinct in itself bearing uniqueness of a different kind. Only true art lovers will realise the depth of a work by an artist.

A break from social media.

It is a new calender year, with this the calendar in our homes are changed, fireworks, parties etc around the globe are on a peak around this time. Along with this, it is time for vacation for an engineering student like me. Thanks to VTU that the exams that began in 2013, has finally ended in 2014.

This is my experience of not being online for a few days on social media and how beneficial it was for me...

My First International Journey - Day 4

So here we were on the last day in Dubai! Felt really bad that a wonderful journey was coming to an end! Many of the people in the contingent had left for home on early morning flights and a handful of us was scheduled for a late Saturday evening flight. Thanks to the organizers, we had a few activities lined up for the day.

My First International Journey - Day 3

Day 3 was one of the most awaited day of the journey! It was the day when we were about to witness the history, from about 500m above ground. It was the day when we were about to be AT THE TOP, the highest observatory in the world, located on the 124th floor of The Burj Khalifa.

My First International Journey - Day 2

It is Feb 14, 2013. Day 2 of the journey. A long day with many activities lined up.Enjoying the nice breeze and oblique sun rays falling on the body is a good start to the day.Time to get ready and get set and head out.

My First International Journey - Day 1

Dubai Airport (egg-shaped structure)

We had landed in Dubai around 3 PM local time and had been escorted throughout the airport by a representative of the Marhaba services (I must say this is the fastest and best service to finish immigration and get out of the airport). A chauffeur driven vehicle was waiting for us when we had stepped out of the airport. From the airport, we headed to our Hotel - Atlantis, The Palm. The hotel is situated on the Crescent of the palm i.e. on the Crescent road on The Palm, Jumeirah, Dubai. The first 5-star experience for me. The journey to the hotel was another great sight-seeing opportunity and a lot of photo-snapping through the windows of the car.  

My First International Journey

It was mid-January 2013 when I came to know that I am going on a journey to Dubai, UAE. Thankfully I did have a passport then and completed all the formalities that are necessary for an international trip. The journey was scheduled to be from Feb 13 to Feb 16, 2013, i.e. 3 nights and 4 days. Thanks to my cousin who was accompanying me on the journey, helped me with all the procedures.

It was my first international journey and I was so excited that I did have sleepless nights till I reached the departure terminal of Bengaluru Airport. It was a mid-day flight to Dubai via Mumbai and we reached there by noon(local time). From the airport, we headed to our hotel, Atlantis The Palm, situated on the crescent of The Palm, Jumeirah.

The 4 days of the journey was so fun-filled and so many activities to tell about, I would be posting about them, day-by-day in separate blog posts and you can read them in the links given below.
