Summer City blooos

Yes, sir...i know i know, it has been a long time that i wrote. This time around it is owing more to circumstances than merely my laziness, which truth be told, is in itself off legendary status. Work has started on full throttle now, but from what i hear it is going to run out of diesel pretty quickly. The weather is getting ass hot ass it does in the desert at this time of the year. Really, if the equator had physical existence, i would have maimed it to the lack of any recognition. I would seriously have rearranged the map. No one would have been able to tell if the destroyed piece of land or whatever used to be the equator or whatever. AHHHHHHHHH!!!! i can now safely (because the room is airbleedinconditioned) say that the hottest thing i have been close to is the ...EQUATOR...why? well, provided we ignore that lady in the elevator with me last night. Now, umm, she didnt seem drunk, or intoxicated in any visible, detectable, smellable manner, however it seemed that she had left her place in a hurry and had either forgot to fully undress, or dress. It was like looking at a car or a VCR that had fallen off the assembly line, somewhere in the middle, so that now it could perform the basest of functions, but very barely so. If you dont mind my pun.

Anyways, so the work has started, it is usually the busiest this time of year, because they try and finish everything before the extreme summers (yes, i have found out it can get worse). Once everything, every loan is processed, and done with, the approvers and the processors, they take a leave and periodically start leaving the country on paid leaves for more moderately placed places on the map.

I think if someone had drawn the map a bit correctly the summers would be better in Dubai. Afterall it is mind over matter. I hear it rains a lot in England and some of the rest of United Kingdom, but that the weather is still better than the adjoining countries, i really have no way to confirm that at the moment. However, having seen the extremes of both, rainy weather (monsoon) and extreme dry weather in Lahore, coupled with rainy and dry winters (before i came to dubai, lahore saw its coldest, and showed me a bit of it as well, with the mercury dropping to below 5 degrees centigrades). A city where you get a maximum of about 50 degrees over a period of 3 months or so, can get so cold...is very surprising and fun. Because despite all the cold, the sun is beautiful, and warm, and the keenus (tangerines+Maltas+Sangtaras), with salted spices are a superb delight.

After all that babbling, i think Summer, in a desert that is right next to the sea is worse than everything (weather wise), you may freeze to death on the arctic, but look on the bright side, you will have a cool smile on your gob AND, your descendants can make a lot of money outta you, once they find your perfectly frozen body. Hell, maybe they could even clone you and put you next to the T-Rex and other extinct things that they have cloned. God gave the Arabs oil, because He had to compensate them with something. The arctic population has the poalr bears, and penguins, Norway has oil, and north pole has moby dick and blubber. The Arabs have OIL and now America has a bit of it. The Arabs deserve it. I was reading that this place has been mostly desert since a few thousand years. That my dear friends is a lot of desert!

I am really not very tired, but i feel like i have run a thousand miles, i cant feel my legs, most probably because i have been sitting in the same bloody position for the past three hours, watching the download bar on Absolute Power download and listeing to .... Soundgarden - SuperUnknown...ah the man has a beautiful voice.
