Marhaba Lounge
Is a waiting lounge for business class and first class passengers in Emirates. However they allow passengers travelling through Europe or Americas to use it for no cost. This is completely different from the airline lounges in US where you pay another 100$ more on your air ticket to check your mails and eat pretzels from much larger packets. Marhaba has free bar, with atleast 3 verities of...

A night out in Dubai airport

And above you see me trying hopelessly to save my new deck. Must say I abandoned it half way for reasons that are obvious.

Its nothing like being home. And I am home. The whole place look different, for some reason. Last time when I left, I had my deck covered with snow; the back of the garrage had snow piled all the way to the top. Though bit late, spring is settling in into this part of the world. There is that crispiness in the air here. But the grass is pale green, and the withered trees haven’t blossmed...
Another coast to coast haul
In about 3 hours I will be leaving Fresno to meet my family up there in Maine. Seems like its been ages since I have met them. I can’t ezplain explain how much anxious I am to meet my little one.
WatchWho knew there is so much into a Space toilet. Watch it towards the end if you can stay on top that longer :-)

I bike around the sunny and bright (often hot) streets of clovis and fresno. The video is at a pit stop en route to woodward park.
