DXB to DXXLB

This is an XL city.
From Coimbatore, Bangalore was XL
From Bangalore, Bombay was XL
From Bombay, Dubai is XXL

From sands of the desert a huge city rising and shining.
Bigger than I saw it for the first time 3 years ago.
Grander than I imagined it would be from what I heard from people.

Visions of one man?
Is it possible? It reminds me of old history texts which spoke of emperors under whose rule trade and culture flourished. This is a history-textbook story. It is big. It is amazing.

XL lifestyles- all designer brands, designer cars, designer villas, designer beaches, designer islands, designer dogs, designer malls, designer designers.
XL opportunity- I meet cab guys turned businessmen, Office boy turned millionaire, Bicycle turned to BMW. People who have ridden the Dubai wave

Happy to be here. Desperate to get out of the suitcase.
