Jesus in Dubai

This is how I saw Jesus in Dubai.

Rajni as the Economist

He knows economics and culture better than anybody else in the world.

He makes millions out of it every year.

I caught him sitting at a bookstore in Chennai airport.

The warning about cellphone goes well under Rajni's image. Imagine him saying it in his own inimitable way!!!

Roadside Models!

I saw them on Linking Road, Bandra. I went to click their pics.

The boy tells me, "Foto lena hai to paisa dena padega" (If you want to click my pic, you need to pay me)

I agree.

He poses.

I pay him Rs.10.

He says its too less!!!

He follows me till my car...then says a bye to me and proceeds to beg again.

He was selling chocolates which he has never tasted!!

I met him on my way home from a wedding reception at Worli Seaface.

It was 1.30 am. I was 4 wine glasses down.

He came near my car door and pleaded me to buy Cadbury chocolate bars. There were 2 bars and he wanted me to buy both so that he could go home and sleep.

I bought them.

My friend said this was a trick to loot unsuspecting people like me.

I asked him if he had tasted the chocolates. He said no. I offered one bar to him. He refused to take it.

I smiled at my friend and we drove away.

My New Leica C-Lux2

I was in Dubai for work last weekend.

Bought a Leica C-Lux 2 at half the price it is available in India.

It was my long cherished dream to own a Leica!

Will update with better pics (and stories) in days to come...
